First, it'll summon roots from the ground that will attempt to slap you, but which are easily avoided if you just run clear of them. It'll try two different attacks if you keep your distance. When the Elder spawns, move to keep the columns between it and you. Note their locations and get ready to use them for cover, as they'll be great for keeping you alive while you're on the move. When you're finally prepared, head to the altar where the Elder will spawn and get the lay of the land.
IRON VALHEIM HOW TO
How to beat The Elder Use the columns to avoid the Elder's vines, which can hit you a bunch of times in a row. Ideally, though, you'll be bobbing and weaving so much that the Elder won't hit you often, if at all-so you shouldn't have to be too reliant on healing items. Honey gives you a huge health boost when you eat it, so it's a good item to rely on for this fight. Honey is even easier, since you can often find bee hives in abandoned houses and use the queen bees that drop from them to make bee hives of your own.
Queens Jam will require a Cauldron to make (which requires smelting Tin and building a Forge), but it's pretty easy to come by the berries you need to cook it. We found good results with Honey, Queens Jam, and Sausages. Cooked meat and berries probably won't cut it, either-you're going to want foods that can heal you quickly and bring your max health up as high as you can get it. The Elder can do a lot of damage to you very quickly, so you're going to want to be well-stocked on food when you fight it. It's easier to just stop for a second and slice through the dwarves than to keep running from them, and a sword will make quick work of the enemies. You'll occasionally have waves of Greydwarves coming after you, and while everything else during the fight with the Elder can be dodged, being chased around by Greydwarves makes fighting the boss a lot more annoying. In either case, especially taking on the Elder alone, you're going to need plenty of ammo.įinally, it's recommended you bring a strong melee weapon like a Bronze Sword. The Fine Wood bow isn't too tough to make, but you will need enough Bronze to forge a Bronze Axe so you can cut down birch trees.įire arrows are your best bet against the Elder thanks to the additional burn damage they'll do to the boss, but you'll need quite a few of them-you'll want to pack at least 100. You're primarily going to need to keep your distance from the Elder, so you'll want to invest in a better weapon than the Crude Bow you can craft early in the game. Check out our Valheim Armor guide for all the info you need to get yourself outfitted for war with a giant tree boss. Just know that you're going to need enough protection to withstand a few hard blows from the Elder, even if your overall strategy is to keep moving and avoid damage as much as possible. If you prefer speed, an upgraded set of Troll Leather armor can also be very useful here. That said, making Bronze is a time-consuming endeavor, requiring you to mine Tin and Copper, smelt both, and combine them at a Forge. Armor: Bronze Setīronze armor is the highest tier you can achieve before taking on the Elder, and the protection it offers is pretty helpful, especially upgraded. Since you'll potentially getting hammered pretty hard, you're going to want to invest in some upgraded equipment before you try to take down the boss, especially if you enter the fight solo. The Elder can do a lot of damage with its attacks, and in addition to taking you on itself, it'll sometimes summon animated roots from beneath the ground and Greydwarves to help it out. What to bring A bow with fire arrows is essential to beating the Elder, and you're going to want strong Bronze armor to protect you from the massive damage the boss can do. Drop them in the fire at the altar and the boss will appear-and it will not be happy. When you get to the Elder's altar, you'll need to make a sacrifice of three Elder Seeds to summon it. Those altars might be some distance away, though in our Valheim server, we had to travel to an entire separate island to finally track the Elder down.
Interacting with one of these Rune Stones will mark the altar where you can summon the Elder somewhere in the Black Forest. You'll often find them near destroyed towers and other structures on the surface-usually surrounded by various types of Greydwarves-or inside Burial Chambers underground. Once you head into the Black Forest, keep an eye out for half-circle Rune Stones. Taking out Eikthyr gets you the Hard Antler, which you can fashion into the Antler Pickaxe, allowing you to mine Tin and Copper. Tracking down the Elder requires you to venture into the Black Forest biome, which is best handled after you've defeated Eikthyr, the Meadows boss.
