To defeat Fenrings in Valheim you need a melee weapon that deals Spirit damage like a Frostner or a Silver Sword. Avoid using other melee weapons as they can immediately recover from your parry. They can summon wolves to aid them in battle. So ranged weapons will put you at a disadvantage if you’re playing solo. Fenrings have two different types of attack. They do a regular swing attack and the second one is a front jump with a swing/slam. Before doing the front jump with a swing/slam they crouch to prepare for this. You need a good shield to block the incoming attacks and if possible you can try to parry them. But as mentioned above Fenrings recover from parry immediately.

If you are not well equipped with gear and weapons, and you find yourself wandering the Mountain biome in full moon night, then keep your ears open for its distinct howl. The howl will be different than a wolf’s howl. When this happens run in the opposite direction as fast as possible. But if you manage to kill it then as drops you will get Wolf fang (also dropped rarely from Wolves) and Fenring trophy.
