How to mine the petrified Gammeltroll in Valheim

The Gammeltroll is a 30-foot tall creature found in the Deep North biome of Valheim. After defeating it, the Gammeltroll transforms into a statue called the "Petrified Gammeltroll." To mine this statue, players must first defeat the Ashlands boss, Fader, to build the Eternal Pyre, which generates embers.

This resource is heavy, cannot pass through wooden portals, and can be processed in a blast furnace.
