Obtaining Black Cores in Valheim is a chore. The reason is that you have to farm them in dangerous dungeons called Infested Mines. You can usually find Black Cores in hidden rooms in the Infested Mines dungeon. You should note that there are at least two cores per mine, with a maximum of six Black Cores per run.

In total, you need about 15 Black Cores to craft all of these structures. If we take the average of four Black Cores per run, you’ll have enough resources available in about three to four runs.
