Default Valakut+Harrow

If I have a Valakut, the molten pinacle, 1 Forest, and 4 Mountains in play, and I play Harrow, sacrificing the forest, and pulling two mountains out of my library and in to play, would Valakut do:
0 Damage
3 Damage
or 6 Damage?

Thank you.

6 damage. both mountains enter at the same time and see eachother. they will both trigger since when they enter the battlefield, you control 5 other mountains.

I think it's actually 0 damage, since the mountains have to already be in play for the other mountain to see, and neither can se the other until it's too late.

Camper is right. The two mountains enter the battlefield simulaneously, thus seeing each other with Valakut active, resolving two times for 6 damage.

Multiply permenants entering play at the same time see each other ETB. That's the reason Scapeshift combos with Valakut and an extended deck was built around the interaction.
