Gather the Jarls, Karls, and Thralls; it’s time to play some Valheim<\/a><\/em>! The game continues to break sales records<\/a> as it soars in popularity. Its new takes on the survival game genre alongside its Viking atmosphere are making players fall in love, and it’s easy to see why.<\/p>\n

Eventually, all players will end up needing to fight Bonemass to advance in the game. Despite being the third boss players have to fight, most consider it to be the hardest to defeat in the game. However, this battle can be made a little bit easier with some preparation and knowledge going into it.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>Use A\u00a0Weapon That Deals Blunt Damage<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Bonemass is actually resistant to all other types of damage, with the exception of blunt damage, so it’s vital to make sure to bring the right weapons to battle. While a mace or even a torch is capable of doing the job, there is still a better option.<\/p>\n

Stagbreaker is not just one of the best weapons in the game, but it also deals blunt damage. Crafting\u00a0this fierce warhammer<\/a> will make this fight incredibly easier for anyone involved.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Bring A Bow Along<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Many of Bonemass’s attacks require Vikings to run to a safe distance so they aren’t utterly destroyed by his poisonous fury. This makes bringing a Bow to the fight<\/a> that much more important. It’s worth noting too that both Blobs and Draugr are weak to fire damage. Since Bonemass can summon Blobs, having Fire Arrows on deck can make the fight much easier.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Craft Iron Gear<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

While most of Bonemass’s damage is dealt through Poison and not direct hits, having a full set of Iron Armor can still be incredibly useful. As Iron comes from the Swamp Biome<\/a>, players will want to hunt some down and get to crafting before taking on the boss.<\/p>\n

If players can make their way to the Sunken Crypt<\/a>, they can find an excellent source of Iron to use for crafting. There are muddy scrap piles that can be harvested there. Keep in mind that no one has to completely clear out the scrap piles right away. It’s possible to leave holes in the middle to snipe enemies through.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Eat A Good Meal<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

It’s important to have a hearty meal before setting out to battle literal monsters. Not just because warriors need a full stomach, but because mechanically food offers health bonuses to players! Meat-based foods provide the largest boosts, so that is what comes recommended to eat. Cooked meat, turnip stew, and Sausages<\/a> should all do the trick.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Come Well Rested And Comfortable<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

It’s important for warriors to feel comfortable and well-rested before heading out into the swamps to fight Bonemass. Mechanically, Vikings that have a higher comfort meter will have their health and stamina stay up longer.<\/p>\n

Considering how much poison damage Bonemass is able to deal at any given time, it becomes even more important to make sure players understand how to make their characters comfortable<\/a>.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Bring Along Friends<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

While it’s possible to play Valheim in single-player, it becomes\u00a0much easier (and way more fun) to gather up a group of friends<\/a> to play. More weapons in the battle means more damage, it’s simple mathematics, and with Bonemass being one of the hardest bosses in the game it’s best to get any help possible. Set up a dedicated server<\/a> and take this monster down.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Make Poison Resistance Mead<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Experts aren’t exaggerating when they say it’s likely impossible to defeat Bonemass without the help of Poison Resistance Mead. Players should make sure they have a fermenter<\/a> as soon as possible so they can get to crafting some.<\/p>\n

It takes\u00a0honey,\u00a0thistle,\u00a0neck tails, and\u00a0coal to make the base for the mead, and then it needs to be put into the fermenter to make the mead. It’s worth making sure teams bring at least three bottles of the mead with them. Two tend to be the amount needed for the fight, but it’s better to be prepared in case something goes wrong.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Keep Near Dry Land<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Fighting Bonemass is hard enough without having to add Leeches to the mix. The area to summon him usually has plenty of space to work with, but crafty players can use a Hoe to flatten out the land and make it so the water is no longer an issue in the fight at all. It can take a bit of patience, but it tends to be worth it to make the fight a little easier.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Understand His Attacks<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Players that are able to recognize Bonemass’s three attacks will have a far easier time facing him in battle.<\/p>\n
