Valheim<\/strong><\/em> features five different bosses that players must defeat in order to progress. While Valheim<\/em>‘s first boss, Eikthyr<\/a>, is fairly easy, players may have a slightly harder time with the second boss, the Elder.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Elder is the main boss of Valheim’<\/em>s Black Forest biome<\/a>. This massive tree ent is big and comes with some wicked powers. Players who are inexperienced with the game may have some trouble with the fight, as the Elder is a big step up in difficultly from anything they have fought before. This boss has a stomp that can do a lot of damage, as well as a cluster of root whips that can be thrown at players at a distance. The Elder also can summon a plethora of whip-like roots all over the battle area, hitting the player from all sides.<\/p>\n

Unlike\u00a0Eikthyr, who only has 500 health, the Elder has a whopping 2,500 health, making it\u00a0necessary to upgrade some weapons and armor in order to defeat it. However, players can easily solo the Elder if they have the right setup.<\/p>\n

In order to take on the Elder with confidence, players will want to have as many bronze armor and weaponry upgrades as possible. Wearing a bronze plate cuirass, bronze plate leggings, bronze helmet, and using a bronze buckler will give the player enough defense to help them stand up to this giant tree enemy. While Valheim<\/em>‘s bronze pickaxe<\/a> will be more useful overall to the player as the game progresses, focusing on defense for this particular fight will be a necessity.<\/p>\n

Next, players will want to have the best possible Valheim<\/em> food combinations<\/a> available at the time. Most players looking to take on the Elder have not yet ventured into the Swamps, Mountains, or Plains, so the best food for the most stamina available to the player will be Cooked Fish, Carrot Soup, and Queen’s Jam. If players haven’t found the trader yet, the best combo is\u00a0Grilled Neck Tail, Carrot Soup, and Queen’s Jam.<\/p>\n

With access to bronze, players will also be able to begin making potions. A few minor healing and stamina potions can be the difference between winning the battle against the Elder and having a corpse run to a live boss area. Minor healing potions are made by mixing these ingredients into a cauldron, then fermenting them for 2 in-game days:<\/p>\n
