To retrieve your body and inventory in Valheim, you can try to navigate back to your gravestone, which will be located where you last died, or use console commands such as “devcommands” followed by “god” and “fly” to safely fly down and recover your items without dying. If your gravestone has fallen off the edge of the map, using console commands is the only way to retrieve your lost items.
