Bonemass Boss
There are multiple bosses in Valheim but Bonemass is the toughest to defeat. Before fighting with the third boss, head over to swamp dungeon and use the key that you got for killing the second boss to open the swap dungeon.
When you get inside the dungeon, you will find a lot of scrap iron and big withering bones. Make sure to collect at least 10 withering bones, because you would not be able to summon the third boss until you have to bones.
Once collected, head to the bone mass and put them in there and get ready to face the third boss. As we have said that this is the toughest boss as of now, make sure to attack him wisely. He is quite weak to blunt items.
Once you defeat the Bonemass, you will get Wishbone, which can be used to find Silver Ore inside of Mountains and Treasures that can be sold to Merchant in exchange for money.
Dragon Moder Boss
After summoning Dragon Moder, you will have to use Needle arrows to attack the fourth boss. For the unversed, you can get the Needles from the bugs that can be found in the planes but if you have some Silver gear, it would be a lot easier to defeat the Dragon Moder.
Once you kill the Dragon Moder, you will get some Dragon Tears, which you can use to craft artisan table in Valheim. First thing you need to do is grab its head and put on the pedestal at the start and you receive a buff, allowing you to have five minutes worth of wins.
Yagluth Boss
Continuing the Valheim boss progression, the next boss is Yagluth. After summoning the final boss Yagluth, you will have to use the same modus operandi that you did while fighting with Dragon Moder. Once you managed to kill Yagluth, you will be rewarded with a Placeholder. Notably, it has not been added to the game yet but when the game is updated, this will surely turn into some valuable item.
Apart from Placeholder, he will also drop his trophy and if you manage to put the trophy which should be the last one on your list of bosses, you will get the ability to be not affected by the Elemental damage and this also works for frost within the mountains.
We have curated this Valheim Boss Progression guide specifically for those who don’t want to waste time walking around each and every region and would rather skip to the action.
