Valheim is now available through Steam Early Access. Considering the game’s huge success, I doubt this is going to take much longer. Towards the left of the Eikthyr Sacrificial Stone, the players can see a small glowing rock which indicates the Summoning Altar location of. The first boss in Valheim is a large mystical stag which has electrified antlers. The team behind this excellent title is still creating assets for the game, so Yagluth is the first softwall we are going to hit, until more content is available. Currently, there are 4 bosses in the game and more might get added in the near future. Here it is where Valheim reminds you it is still unfinished and in development. After you destroy this giant half skeleton, his Trophy of course drops, and another item which is yet unnamed. Both of these weapon are fast, so simply get in, stab-stab-stab, then run for your life. Defeating Yagluth will reward players with the Yagluth trophy and a placeholder item (because Valheim is in early access, this is still being worked on). The reason I’m suggesting these, is because against Yagluth, you need to utilize a hit ‘n run tactic, otherwise you’ll be squashed by his attacks. Currently, there are five bosses in Valheim.Summoning and defeating each one will take a lot of time and work. The Black Metal variants of each are the best pick, so pick whichever you want. If you haven’t been into ranged combat much, then my personal suggestion would be either spears or a dagger. The safest route would be to grab the strongest bow and arrow you have available, and rain hell to him. With his abilities broke down, we now need to process our attack plan. Make sure to avoid this by running alongside his head. It is thrown out in a straight line, with him strafing sideways as long as it lasts. Lastly, his final skill is a literal fire breath, which looks scary as hell. The pillars of the ‘hand’ where you summoned him are actually a good suggestion of such objects to hide behind. In Valheim, you have to collect resources to craft various weapons, tools and items but it’s not all about finding materials. Take cover to evade the meteor shower, by hiding behind objects. The forest will stir, and The Elder will emerge, seeking revenge on you and your fellow. If his fist glows orange, then get ready for a meteor attack, which can hit you even at range. To summon The Elder, place three Ancient Seeds in the burning bowl in the middle of the sacrificial altar. While raising his hand to attack you, if it glows blue, it means that he is readying up an AOE ground smash, which is his melee option of hitting you. Don’t think you are safe though just for having some distance between him and you, as his attacks can still reach you in certain ways.Įach of his attacks have a distinct animation and glow. This automatically means one thing, that kiting is a great option for handling this final Boss. But, fortunately he is extremely slow as well with a few telegraphed attacks you can avoid.
