With the right strategy, you can defeat Yagluth in the game Valheim. It is also important that you prepare as best as possible for the fight.
Valheim: Defeating Yagluth – the preparation
To defeat Yagluth, the fifth boss, you should prepare well, especially as a Valheim beginner:
- Look for a Vegvisir in the plains, which will show you the location of Yagluth's Summoning Altar on the map. These locations are often marked by Stonehenge-like structures.
- You need five Fuling Totems to summon Yagluth. These can be found in Fuling villages or dropped by Fuling Berserkers and Shamans.
- Use a black metal sword and a black metal shield. Frost arrows and the silver sword are also effective. Wear the best armor available and take fire resistance potions.
Valheim: Beating Yagluth – the battle strategy
Place the five Fuling Totems on Yagluth's Sacrificial Site and interact with the stone tablet to start the fight. These are the best Valheim tactics to win the fight with Yagluth:
- Yagluth has three main attacks you should know: Fire Breath, Meteor Shower, and Explosion.
- If Yagluth attacks with fire breath, he raiseshis head and breathes fire. Seek shelter behind rocks or dodge.
- You can recognize the Meteor Shower attack because the boss raises his left hand. Also seek protection.
- If Yagluth raises his right hand, which now glows blue, and slams it onto the ground, there will be an explosion. Keep your distance to avoid the blow.
- Since Yagluth is slow, you can dodge his attacks relatively easily. Use the environment to hide and avoid his attacks. Attack at close range with your sword while dodging his attacks. You have defeated Yagluth once his health is completely depleted.
- After defeating the boss, you will receive the Yagluth Trophy and the Yagluth Strength, which gives you resistance to fire, frost, and lightning.
