Valheim pulls no punches challenging players to survive difficult conditions and a ton of different threats. The most challenging of all of Valheim’s content is its many bosses.

We’ve discussed strategies for how to summon and defeat each of Valheim’s bosses but the game’s current final boss: Yagluth. Here’s our guide on how to summon Yagluth, how to kill him, and how to “beat” the game in its current state!

How to Summon Yagluth in Valheim

Yagluth can be summoned in the Plains biome. But first, you must search for the Yagluth summoning altar.

You can get some help with this search by checking a Vegvisir Runestone in the Plains. Once found, interact with it to produce a pin on your map that marks the exact location of this boss’s summoning altar. Doing so eliminates the frustration of trying to find Yagluth’s location within Valheim’s massive map.

After you find the summoning altar, you’ll need to bring some items to it to summon the skeletal boss. To summon Yagluth, you must bring 5x Fuling Totem to the summoning altar, looted by killing Fuling creatures that can be found all across the Plains biome. Once all five are placed at the altar, Yagluth emerges from the depths, and the fight begins.

How to Kill Yagluth

Yagluth is a terrifying creature, a skeletal beast with only its upper torso emerging from the earth. Worse, Yagluth is as strong as he is intimidating.

When approaching the Yagluth fight, you should respect his kill potential by preparing as much as you can. After all, this is the last Valheim boss we’re talking about.

This means you’ll want different kinds of food to improve your maximum health and stamina. This also means you want the best armor and weapons available to you. Yagluth enacts an event where the player’s bases are attacked by waves of Fuling creatures. So, getting these supplies ready may be harder than usual.

Once you’re prepared for the fight, and Yagluth is summoned, it’s time to put it all on the line.

Yagluth has some dangerous abilities that players in Valheim servers must dodge to survive.

Yagluth’s first attack is to punch the earth with a blue fist, dealing damage in the area and creating a short-lived flame. To avoid this, watch out for the blue fist windup, and keep your distance from Yagluth when this move is possible.

Yaluth’s second attack is a line of fire breath that does a ton of damage very quickly. To avoid this ability, keep an eye on when Yagluth rears back to breathe, and keep an angle when fighting Yagluth to not be hit by the line.

Yagltuh’s third attack is another fist strike, where it glows orange, then summons meteors, dealing damage in an area.

When fighting Yagluth, you will be surrounded in darkness, and effects like rain won’t help extinguish the creature’s fires.

Once you master dodging Yagluth’s abilities, it’s just a matter of dealing as much damage as you can from ranged with your bow, and getting in at the right times to do melee damage while it’s safe.

Yagluth Loot & Rewards

Defeating Yagluth rewards players with 3x Torn Spirit. Use a Torn Spirit piece with 10x Stone to build the Wisp Fountain. Use this structure to attract Wisps to your base, allowing you to craft items like Wisplight and Mistwalker. The former is an essential item when exploring the Mistlands, as it clears the dense fog that would otherwise make traversal in this biome tougher than initially expected.

Apart from the Torn Spirit, victors can also grab the Yagluth Trophy upon the boss’s downfall. Place this trophy at the appropriate stone altar to claim his Forsaken Power, which grants the following buffs for 300 seconds:

• Increased Resistance to Lightning
• +25 to Farming
• +10% Increased Damage Dealt from the Following Sources: Blunt, Slash, Pierce, Chop, Pickaxe, Fire, Frost, Lightning, Poison, and Spirit
