Here's how to defeat the final boss, Yagluth, in Valheim.
Yagluth is the final boss in the early access version of Valheim. He is a giant skeleton with a missing the lower half of his skeleton body, wearing a crown made of the skeleton, purple glowing eyes, and crawls to you the moment he is summoned. He is the fifth boss you will face after you defeat Eikthyr, Elder, Bonemass, and Moder. Just like all other previous bosses you faced, you will have to do a sacrificial rite in order to summon Yagluth. So today let’s look at how to defeat Yagluth in Valheim.
After summoning Yagluth in the Plains biome, you can maintain a distance from him as he is really slow in crawling towards you. Use needle arrows and Iron bow from far, and if he is focused on your teammates, use melee attacks using Iron weapons to defeat Yagluth quickly.
You must avoid entering this boss battle if your weapons and items are not fully upgraded. Even though Yagluth is the final boss in the early access version of Valheim, he will be easy to kill (unlike Bonemass), once you know his style of attack.
Let’s look at his attack patterns and also strategies to beat Yagluth in Valheim:
Once you defeat Yagluth, he will drop a Yagluth place holder item, a new material called “Yagluth thing“. The developers will add this material to the game later along its path of development. There is no need to feel disappointed in the lack of reward right now because you can go and pick the crown made of bones which will be the Yagluth trophy. Attach it to the Trophy hook on the sacrificial stone to get his forsaken ability. A damage modifier providing resistance against all elemental attacks from enemy creatures like fire attacks, frost attacks, and poison attacks.
