With the new Hearth and Home update in Valheim, Tar has become one of the latest resources available to collect. But it may be more difficult to find than players would assume.

Those who want to find Tar in Valheim will have a bit of a process to go through to collect the new resource. It's certainly not an early game resource, and Tar will only spawn in the Plains biome.

All gamers used to Valheim will know that the Plains biome is the most challenging area. It's full of danger and is the fifth area they will encounter as they progress in Valheim.

Users should look out for Tar pits scattered around the area to find the Tar itself in the Plains biome. Because Valheim is a procedurally generated game, there is no guaranteed way to locate Tar.

Every player needs to find it in their own world, which could be anywhere as long as it's a Plain.

One of the catches for the Tar resources is that they can't be found in Plains biomes that have already been discovered. One of the suggestions for the Hearth and Home update was to start a new game so that discovering Tar wouldn't be as difficult.

Users will need to go out of their way to find new Plains on worlds that have been around for a long time.
