![]() ![]() If you're playing with friends, one of them can dedicate themselves to staying in melee range and dodging the Elder's melee attacks while the others kill him from afar with bows. On top of this, The Elder, being a walking tree and all, is extremely weak to Fire damage, which you can deal by using Fire Arrows with a bow. His cooldown between attacks is short, so if you're in melee range, a lot of your time will be dedicated to dodging stomps and running away from Roots. They can't move so once you do this, you won't have to worry about them, but watch out for a follow-up vine attack from The Elder! How To Kill The Elderĭespite the terrifying vine attack, ranged combat is still your best option against The Elder. Instead of trying to kill the Roots, just run away until you're out of their reach. In a similar vein to the vine attack, getting hit by one Root may stun you for long enough that other Roots finish you off, so evading this attack is critical. Each of these Roots looks for nearby players and smacks them after a short windup. The final attack summons more enemies - The Elder raises his hand into the air and conjures a patch of animated Roots from the ground. There are two ways to avoid this attack: run parallel to The Elder instead of dodging or take cover behind the invincible pillars around the boss altar. ![]() As if this wasn't bad enough, this attack also destroys stone, trees, and any cover you could build. This attack does tons of damage and can be incredibly difficult to evade. For this ranged attack, The Elder summons a beam of vines that stream toward the player, following them as they try to dodge. The vine attack is easily The Elder's most annoying option. This attack deals massive amounts of Blunt damage but is very easy to dodge once you learn the timing. If the player is too close to The Elder, he will bend down and try to stomp you with his foot. The easy attack to deal with is his stomp. At times, his move set can seem unfair and incredibly powerful, but there are strategies you can use to make his attacks drastically less effective. The Elder is likely the first challenging fight you'll face in Valheim. On top of that, the Ancient Bowl in the center of the altar is perpetually lit.įinding the boss location without a Vegvisir can be as easy as sailing near the edge of Black Forest to look for any obvious breaks in the trees and walking through the inland forest at night to try and spot the fire. Black Forest doesn't generate with many clearings, so if the trees suddenly thin out in one direction, it might be a sign that The Elder is nearby. The first sign of a location nearby will be a significant break in the trees. If you're looking to find The Elder without a Vegvisir, you're in luck: The Elder's altar is so large that it can be very easy to find. You might have to go into a few before you find a Vegvisir, but that's not an issue since you'll likely be looting these dungeons anyway for the Surtling Cores they contain. You can find ones pointing to the nearest Elder in Burial Chambers and stone towers that generate across the Black Forest. You can expect several Greydwarves to be wandering around it.Like any other Valheim boss, the first step in finding The Elder is searching for Vegvisirs. Anyone who wants the Elder’s location needs to interact with the runestone. Once you find it, interact with the runestone, and then you’ll have the Elder’s location on your map. It’ll be somewhere randomly spawned in the Black Forest, much like its actual location. You need to find a runestone similar to the one you use to find the Eikthyr’s location. ![]() Unlike Eikthyr, you won’t be able to have the Elder’s location when you start. It’s the leader of the Greydwarves, and like the first boss, Eikthyr, you need to summon it using a specific item. The second boss of the game, the Elder, can be found in the Dark Forest. These trophies grand you access to a power-up that you can use to buff your character for a limited time. ![]() Each time you defeat them, they drop a trophy that you need to ferry back to the game’s original start point and hang up. There are multiple Forsaken bosses that you need to defeat in Valheim. ![]()
