Valheim: How to Summon and Defeat the Elder

valheim: How to Summon and Defeat The Elder ; The Elder is the second boss in Valheim and he is a giant tree with a big difficulty tier from the first boss, Eikthyr.

Valheim features five different bosses that players must defeat in order to progress. While Valheim's first boss, Eikthyr, is pretty easy, players may have a slightly harder time with the second boss, Elder.

Valheim: The Elder How to Summon and Defeat

The Elder is the main boss of Valheim's Black Forest biome. This huge tree is big and comes with some evil powers. Inexperienced players in the game may have a bit of trouble in combat, as the Elder is a big step up from anything they've fought before. This boss has a stomp that can deal a lot of damage, as well as a set of root whips that can be thrown at players from afar. The Elder can also strike the player from all sides, collecting whip-like roots all over the battlefield.

Unlike Eikthyr, who only has 500 health, the Elder has 2.500 health, making it necessary to upgrade some weapons and armor to defeat him. However, players can easily solo the Elder if they have the right setup.

Being ready

To safely take down the Elder, players will want to have as many bronze armor and weapon upgrades as possible. Using a bronze plate cuirass, bronze plate leggings, bronze helmet, and a bronze buckle will give the player enough defense to help them stand against this giant tree foe. While Valheim's bronze pickax will be more beneficial to the player overall as the game progresses, focusing on defense will be a must for this particular fight.

Next, players will want to have the best possible Valheim food combinations available at the time. Most players looking to take on the Elder have not yet entered the Swamps, Mountains, or Plains, so for the most stamina available to the player, the best food will be Cooked Fish, Carrot Soup, and Queen Jam. If players haven't found the merchant yet, the best combination is Grilled Neck Tail, Carrot Soup, and Queen's Jam.

Fermented Potions

With access to the bronze medal, players will also be able to start making potions. A few minor healing and stamina potions could be the difference between winning the battle against the Elder and having the corpse run into a live boss area. Small healing potions are made by mixing these ingredients in a cauldron and then fermenting them for 2 in-game days:

  • 10x Honey from Valheim honey bees
  • 5x Blueberries
  • 10x Raspberry
  • 1x Dandelion

Small potions of stamina are made the same way, but with a slightly different ingredient list.

  • 10x Honey
  • 10x Raspberry
  • 10x Yellow mushrooms found in Black Forest dungeons

Elder Call

When players have a good meal, eat some potions in the item bars, and upgraded armor and weapons, they are ready to receive the Elder. But first, players must not only find the Elder's altar, but also find a suitable sacrifice to summon him. elder To find it, players will need to search the Black Forest for Burial Chambers with red glowing runestones or stone remains. Interacting with this rune will place a mark on the map where the Elder's altar is located.

Next, players will need to kill some Greydwarfs, but not the Greydwarf's eyes-dropping basics. Greydwarf shamans and Greydwarf spawners can only drop the item needed to summon Elder: Ancient Seeds. Players will need to collect three of these to offer the fire on the altar.

the elder Beat

The best time to fight the Elder is early in the morning. The Black Forest can be filled with Greydwarves at night, so players will want to start the fight as early as possible. Players will also want to avoid fighting when it's raining if possible; wet debuff causes the player's stamina to recharge much slower than normal.

The Elder

Next, players will want to either create a Valheim spawn point bed for themselves or build a portal a little close to their spawn point. This will make it easier to retrieve items and rejoin the fight if a player dies. However, it's not a good idea to build him too close to combat, as the Elder can destroy player-built structures with his attacks.

From now on, Elder ready to be summoned. Place three Ancient Seeds in the item bar, then press the corresponding number while near the altar. The Elder will appear, towering above the players and ready to fight. The best way to fight this beast is to melee it. A bronze breaker blocks damage from his hit, so players can hit the tree boss with an ax, then block the attack before returning to swing. Players can also use fire arrows and the Valheim slender tree bow to inflict heavy damage.

They can hide behind one of the four pillars of the Elder's altar when too many roots have spawned around the player or they need to let their stamina recharge. While the Elder can knock down trees and structures, pillars cannot be destroyed and therefore block all damage and prevent the root whip attack from attaching to the player.

elder Keep hitting and hiding when needed and this fight will soon be in the bag. Then players will eventually receive the Valheim Swamp Key and be able to continue upgrading their equipment to the iron.
