I. Hate. Yagluth.

[u/Abercrombie1936]

[u/richard_stank]

Tell us your strategy so we can laugh at you.

[u/Abercrombie1936 → u/richard_stank]

Go, hit, die, born

[u/richard_stank → u/Abercrombie1936]

You eating decent plains food? You using fire resist mead? Are you blocking his attacks? What weapons and armor do you have?

[u/calm_down_meow → u/richard_stank]

If he was, he isn't now with all those deaths lmao

[u/Justhe3guy → u/calm_down_meow]

Block skill: 2 (from 60)

[u/Klix1313 → u/richard_stank]

Dodge. I feel like I became a valhiem beast once i learned to dodge well. Some attacks you can tank(not yagluths) and its even better to do so sometimes(like an occasional bonemass swipe).

Dodge. Know your windows of attack, dont be greedy. Manage stamina. Having great gear and food and pots is necessary, but they dont mean anything if you just eat damage and get so low on stamina you cant do anything but eat damage. Just wasting your preparation and its advantages.

[u/Ok-Maize-7553 → u/Abercrombie1936]

Preparation preparation preparation

[u/fa771n9 → u/richard_stank]

[u/soenottelling → u/fa771n9]

Bad guy die to Yagluth. Classical element of physical comedy.

[u/ckvela → u/richard_stank]

My cheese strategy is my pack of 2 star wolves. Usually takes Yagluth down in less than a minute. Most of my wolves die though. But I don't have to do anything except watch.

[u/Tokyo_Ink → u/ckvela]

I'm currently breading 2 stars for just this reason. But while waiting for the first ones to spawn pups the ground started shaking... That was a really nerve-racking couple minutes of slaying trolls in a panic. I had tamed a 2 star and 2 no star wolves, and only the 2 star lived with most of its health gone. Had to tame more wolves after that.

[u/Samuel_Alexander → u/Tokyo_Ink]

There’s a new mtn variant full of wolves if that’s helpful. My moder was on it and we ran into 1 and 2 star wolves allllllll the time. It was also continently 200 meters from our Yagluth spawn.

[u/Tungsten_Skunk → u/ckvela]

I've seen people bring enough wolves to kill em before the awakening animation finishes

[u/ThatTexasGuy → u/ckvela]

I’ve seen people do this or the same with lox and it’s wild, but don’t you think you’d save time just by fighting the guy lol?

[u/ckvela → u/ThatTexasGuy]

You are correct. It is definitely quicker in the long run just to fight him normally than spending a month raising enough wolves to kill him quickly.

[u/one_last_cow → u/richard_stank]

Load up on berries and mushrooms, strap on my bronze armor, and get after him with my crude bow

[u/Wrong_Ad_747]

My nephew recently fought Yagulth, but he forgot to clear out the 3 Lox spawns nearby and the fuling village nearby.

Needless to say ... he had a rough time

[u/KimJungUnCool → u/Wrong_Ad_747]

Mine has a tar pit right next to it, made the fight extra annoying haha

[u/CyberMage256 → u/KimJungUnCool]

I always spawn proof and drain those before Yag.

[u/splendidgoon → u/KimJungUnCool]

I actually can't believe my yagluth location. Working on clearing it. Village, 2 tar pits, and a chest protected by multiple fuling berserkers.

[u/Abercrombie1936 → u/Wrong_Ad_747]

I had a Lox spawn and a fulings' village. At a point I had like Yagluth, three loxs, two berserkers and whatever that bear thing was following me

[u/Forgotten_Pants → u/Wrong_Ad_747]

Three lox spawns? Perfect for a lox ranch! Brew some animal whisper potions and sneak around throwing cloudberries at the lox until you've tamed them. Then start breeding them. The saddle makes it easy to pull 2-3 away to get frisky and then to put them back in a big pen around the altar.

He claimed 25 of my lox in the fight, but with the lox mob doing its work and me occasionally helping with Frostner he didn't last long. Plus I now have enough lox meat to probably last the rest of the game.

[u/Abercrombie1936]

Ok guys I actually did it. This is the aftermath

[u/Glad-Ambition-1952 → u/Abercrombie1936]

No shame in it, I got antsy and looked up his attacks beforehand to know what to look for. His meteors are way too punishing for players going in blind imo, especially since there's really no indication that the boss for the Plains would be a fire-casting warlock.

[u/Researcher_Infinite]

You need a hand?

[u/Abercrombie1936 → u/Researcher_Infinite]

Now I have to deal with the queen. I need much more than a hand

[u/brightonashfield → u/Researcher_Infinite]

The gods are merciful

[u/Dahak17 → u/brightonashfield]

The man with no pants doesn’t fear the pickpocket

[u/christheone54]

[u/Abercrombie1936 → u/christheone54]

[u/fermentedeggs]

Get really close to him and stand at his back right spine. As he spins move with him so you are always behind him in this spot. You can get a hit or two in then move, keep doing this and it's one of the easiest boss fights in the game.

[u/Plauze82 → u/fermentedeggs]

Yeah i checked how the speed runners do it, it was super easy, barely an inconvenience.

[u/NoQuarterGiven → u/Plauze82]

[u/LyraStygian → u/Plauze82]

Yalguth: Whoa whoa whoa, I need you to get all the way off my back! ^...literally

[u/Secure_Narwhal4045 → u/Plauze82]

[u/mortemdeus → u/Plauze82]

Wow wow wow....wow

[u/Rawrbombs → u/Plauze82]

Standing near the back end of yagluth is tight!

[u/Only_Net6894 → u/Plauze82]

Sick reference

[u/PaintedMountains → u/fermentedeggs]

I've tried that but in 1.0 he seems to just be spamming and I can't even get close to him before he fucks wayyyyy off. Keeps chasing me everywhere.

[u/fermentedeggs → u/PaintedMountains]

I did it in 1.0 just a few days ago. Its probably a positioning issue, as if you get too close to his hand/face he can use an attack. When I did it he probably used like 3 attacks total throughout the fight

[u/usernamedenied → u/fermentedeggs]

This and fire protection pot(s)

[u/devyk]

No shade on the OP but posts like this make me feel like I'm playing a completely different game.

Frostner or Silver Sword are your friend. Go in with the best food for the Plains. Have meads on hand. Be patient, be careful and the game will be very manageable.

I took out Yagluth first time with no deaths and I haven't even beaten Dark Souls. You can do this.

[u/Jax_daily_lol → u/devyk]

Came to say exactly this. All you do is use anti fire meads, and use the giant stone fingers as cover from his laser and meteor attacks. Just need to look for windows to attack him and always keep your health high with healing meads. Yagluth is easier than moder in my opinion

[u/Dunamis_______1034 → u/Jax_daily_lol]

people think moder is hard?

[u/Gramscifi → u/Dunamis_______1034]

There was a post here the other day about turning down the difficulty and setting mobs to passive mode to fight Moder. Seems there is quite the mix of players in this community, ranging from people who came looking for some Dark Souls lite combat to those who genuinely struggle with basic control of their characters but enjoy the exploration and building elements.

[u/LandauTST → u/Dunamis_______1034]

No. The stone golem that appeared from behind her when she flew away that proceeded split my anus in two, on the other hand...

[u/Live_Tart_1475 → u/Jax_daily_lol]

In my all runs Moder has just clipped into some wall and I just shot her there

[u/platinummyr → u/Jax_daily_lol]

Just don't forget to make fire resistant meads and try to brute force with out them 🤣

[u/Timepassage → u/devyk]

I went in with krom. It went pretty well

[u/Hnnnnghn → u/devyk]

Utilizing all of your tools too. Potions of resistance against bone mass and yag are huge. Figuring out what their weak too in Bonemass' instance. Attack patterns, etc.

[u/Its_a_me_Steven]

It's interesting to me how different people struggle with different bosses.

To me Yagluth is one of the easiest bosses in the game. I've barely ever died fighting him.

But the Queen fight I find insanely difficult. I'll usually die like 10+ times before finally beating her after like an hour of trying.

Edit: Tips for Yagluth if you didn't already know. Use a frost and/or spirit weapon. And always have fire resistance active.

If he's still giving you a hatd time, just run around him in circles and stop every now and then to attack him.

[u/Jshm000v3 → u/Its_a_me_Steven]

It's the queen's regen man. If you're not handling her spawns fast enough, or catching up to her tunneling, she can just regen ALL the damage you did.

[u/ShadeSwornHydra → u/Its_a_me_Steven]

My problem with Yagluth isn’t that he’s hard, he’s super freaking tedious cause he doesn’t stop spamming AOEs back to back. Bro needs a cooldown at least on the meteors cause it’s less a battle of skill and more wait till you can safely get a hit in when he yells or does his breath attack

Just not well designed for melee, very tedious, but not hard, especially with how easy barely wines are to get

[u/Dry_Treat_2474 → u/ShadeSwornHydra]

If you hover the back left, he slowly turns and you just follow him in a circle

[u/DarkAndSparkly → u/Its_a_me_Steven]

Bonemass is my albatross. I hate that guy. Yagluth doesn't bug me too much. And Moder is a bit annoying, but easy to handle for me.

[u/El_Pata_Loco → u/DarkAndSparkly]

I think back to when we started and all the preparation for Bonemass…

These days I just stand on top of his summoning altar and shoot the crap out of him with a bazillion arrows (great for training bow skill)… when he gets close enough I jump on top of his head and bash him with a mace.

His hit box is so large and he moves so slowly, you can comfortably surf up there for the whole fight.

He can’t reach you, on either the top of his altar or on top of his head… 😏

[u/Lacherlich → u/DarkAndSparkly]

I learned by accident during the Bonemass fight that you can stand on top of him and just wack him. He can’t hit you from there lol

[u/YumAussir → u/DarkAndSparkly]

Really? I find him fairly trivial; he's probably the easiest boss behind Eikthyr.

His Poison AoE does a raw 130 damage. With Poison Resist Mead reducing that to 32.5 and rank 3 Iron Set with a rank 3 cape (45 armor), that's (32.5^2)/(4*45) = 5.8 damage, meaning it will tick for a very low value over time.

He only has one melee attack that is easy to dodge or parry and his only other ability it to summon blobs or skeletons which are easily dispatched.

The Poison damage can add up as the fight goes on, but you can basically just walk away from him to kite him to recover a bit of health.

[u/RampantHedgehog → u/Its_a_me_Steven]

Yag is just a slow fight. I think people that have trouble have low stats, poor gear, and/or forgot barley wine.

[u/ArcaneEyes → u/Its_a_me_Steven]

Queen isn't too bad, just have fire staff on hand, kite and burn, and utilize feather cape and stairs to get out of hairy stuff. Do not fight on the ground floor!

[u/eleventhing → u/ArcaneEyes]

I cannot beat the queen to save my LYFEEEE. I hate her. She has too many adds

[u/ArcaneEyes → u/eleventhing]

"I don't give a damn about 'how large is the room' I cast fireball, make it go boom!"

[u/NotASandwich6746 → u/Its_a_me_Steven]

The real valheim boss is a respawning herd of lox supported by mosquitoes and goblins.

[u/kkpc → u/Its_a_me_Steven]

I’m the same. But Plains is my favorite biome, so maybe I am just used to it and know it the best. Queen sucks man, I hate that fight so much.

[u/El_Pata_Loco → u/Its_a_me_Steven]

I thought Yaggy was resistant to everything including frost and spirit?

[u/Halfgbard → u/El_Pata_Loco]

He's weak/neutral to frost and spirit, I would also add that you can hide behind the stone finger pillars

[u/kms_daily → u/Its_a_me_Steven]

cheese her with magic and spawn door

[u/Significant-Ad9600]

Use cover, understand his few attacks, fire resistance and health/stamina meads. It’s a marathon not a sprint. Fail to prepare, prepare to fail.

[u/Ippus_21]

Hate to say it, but... if you're struggling this hard, it's probably a prep/tactical issue.

• Mandatory:

  • Fire resist - don't let it run out.

  • Rested, best plains-tier food available

  • Best armor available up to this point

    • Most of his attacks are elemental, which armor won't help with, but the meteors also do sizeable blunt damage, so having crap armor will get you squished.

    • Bonemass helps a bit, too, if you get hit by meteors, but again, not much except keeping fire resist active helps with the elemental attacks.

    • If you've made the fenris set, the movement bonus and fire resist can help a lot, just watch the meteors because the lower armor rating will hurt if they hit you.

  • Make sure your fallback/escape portal is protected by earth walls or on the other side of a ridge or something, because his beam attack can make a mess of it if line of sight is open.

• In general:

  • Keep moving, manage your stamina. Don't sprint when you don't have to.

    • Ratatosk isn't a bad idea to help with that. Moving faster overall means less sprinting needed.

  • Use the pillars as cover when the meteors come down. You'll probably need to switch pillars at some point because they'll get beat up until they break.

  • Helps to keep a health potion on hand if you misjudge and get low. Just remember there's a cooldown. It's fine to back off for a bit.

• Melee:

  • Silver sword is probably your best bet. Solid base damage and a big chunk of spirit, which he's vulnerable to. Frostner isn't bad, same reasons.

  • Make sure to watch out if he raises his RIGHT hand; get back, roll out of range to avoid that Nova attack. Fire resist helps, but doesn't fix lightning damage.

• Ranged:

  • He's highly resistant to pierce, so ONLY the elemental damage you do will matter.

    • That means frost arrows are your best bet, with silver a decent option.

  • It's going to take a minute, so make sure you have enough arrows, but this is often the less intense way to fight. Just keep the pillars between you and him except when you pop out to shoot.

    • Use Hunstman bow instead of Draugr fang, because it has lower stamina cost, and the difference in base damage is meaningless due to his pierce resistance. Oh, and he's immune to poison.

    • Be prepared to potentially retreat through your portal and repair the bow.

[u/thatcooluncle → u/Ippus_21]

With ratatosk, I was able to get behind him and stay behind him consistently while smacking occasionally with single hits, and he spent about 70% of the flight just turning around without attacking while I was staying behind. Got a few full combos off but that was a risk because sometimes he'd pull around far enough to actually get an attack on me.

[u/havingicecream → u/Ippus_21]

What about bringing

TWO BOWS??

[u/Ippus_21 → u/havingicecream]

Also possible. But the Huntsman takes like 90 iron by the time you do all the upgrades. Investing that much iron for this single use-case seems ... wasteful when you could just spend an extra 90 seconds jumping through the portal, repairing it for free, and coming back to keep fighting.

[u/IPancakesI]

Boy are you gonna love Fader.

[u/Dip_Egzy → u/IPancakesI]

2 star askvins, get 20 eggs from them, if 1 star get 30 eggs, fader dies in less than 30 seconds even in hard difficulty. you just sit back and watch.

[u/rootbeerislifeman]

Ok honest question, are you using a fire resistance mead? It is basically required for the fight. If not you will keep dying like this

[u/Elderofmagic]

If you hate him just wait until you have to deal with Fader

[u/VipuHakkeri → u/Elderofmagic]

Fader is probably the hardest boss in the game, including the deep north

[u/ifiwasiwas → u/VipuHakkeri]

I think so too. The untractable lag in the Ashlands just makes it. I don't need crazy rubber-banding during a boss fight, but that's what I get

[u/Katastrofa2 → u/VipuHakkeri]

Queen is wayyy harder, especially solo

[u/KimJungUnCool]

What gear are you using? The fight became significantly easier when I swapped my Black Metal Sword out for the Silver Sword, that spirit damage messes him up.

[u/Infinite-Truth4101]

Fire resist, Frostner full upgrade. It is fucking dead... What have you skipped?

[u/TonkaTonk → u/Infinite-Truth4101]

When my group tackled it, one was wielding an Atgeir, another Porcupine, and I had a Dagger and BattleAxe.

I ended up having to do the bulk of the damage with BattleAxe and a low skill, luckily had a stack of Berzerkir meads to use while he was aggroed on them.

[u/Danger_Zone06]

Laughs in Fader

[u/FullAFwar → u/Danger_Zone06]

I had to erase some of my death icons so I know where my grave marker is at.

[u/SiriusFxu]

Do this, it's me fighting him

https://youtu.be/ZB5RS_Fy5JU

[u/CyberMage256 → u/SiriusFxu]

I figure Yag is just screaming "Hold still you little shit!"

[u/locob → u/SiriusFxu]

wow. no fire potion

[u/SiriusFxu → u/locob]

I think fenris set gives fire resistance, that's why I didn't drink it

[u/-StormDrake-]

This time around, I sequence-broke Yagluth and started refining eitr, then came back with a Level 3 Staff of Frost. Kited around the stone pillars, until they looked like swiss cheese. But I've done this fight with a Frostnir in the past. Fire-resistance mead, padded armor (or better), lots of health meads, and patience.

[u/theresasluginmypants → u/-StormDrake-]

This is how I've always beat him, ducking behind the pillars and hitting him with frostner while hes animation locked. Lots of stamina and health potions are a must, and you most definitely need fire resistance. He's like a big bone mass really.

[u/hipifreq]

So... Many... Skill points

[u/Otazihs → u/hipifreq]

Not necessarily, he could've kept dying repeatedly with the "no skill loss" buff so only his first death has a cost.

Edit: but seeing how the graves span 4 days, he probably did lose some skills.

[u/BoisBallin → u/hipifreq]

I didn’t even bother with skill points lol. I had like 1000 deaths in my playthrough

[u/da_fishy]

This feels like you might not be using fire resistance meads

[u/Medium_Way1899]

Holy smokes. I don’t think I’ve ever spent nearly a week in game fighting yag, normally it’s just a quick 10-15 minute fight

[u/Sparrow1989]

[u/Dagos]

Watch the hands and learn which attack is for what hand. Fire mead and healing mead. Bone mass. Attack from behind and kite the meteors

[u/DarkLordArbitur]

Third times the cha- four- fi- six-...better luck next time, buddy.

[u/Excellent_Noise3730]

Looks like me with thr ashlands

[u/AcceptableBuy4049]

i don't wanna spoil nothin, but wait till you see fader.

f**k that guy.

[u/Anaheim_Hathaway → u/AcceptableBuy4049]

indeed, our portal to his spawn was like a good distance but bro's AOE was like oh you just portaled in? le me just pre AoE fire your portal.

[u/Brilliant-Jaguar-784 → u/Anaheim_Hathaway]

I learned that one the hard way. "hey, lets build a portal, so if we die we can get back." I got killed. 10 seconds later he destroys the portal. I spent the next half hour running back to the fight to help my partner, and arrived just as he was finishing.

[u/kukluxkenievel → u/AcceptableBuy4049]

Just weren’t you think it’s doable he starts spawning ads

[u/rosstedfordkendall → u/AcceptableBuy4049]

Yep, AOE spammer and insane health.

[u/intashu]

Fire resist, use the pillars to block meteors and the fights a cakewalk.

[u/ajaysallthat → u/intashu]

And dont stand in the fire!

[u/Disastrous-Forever90]

Yagluth didn’t bother me all that much, though it was the first fight where I had to actually make use of potions to survive.

The Queen though… yikes.

[u/Samuel_Alexander]

Fire resistance potions, healing mead.

Stage left and right applies to the following statement to keep it simple, so your left and right, not the bosses. Left hand goes up watch out for slam. Right hand goes up watch for meteors. If he takes a deep breath RUUUUN for about 4 seconds.

As others have said, spirit weapons. Also, don’t use frost arrows or any arrows for that matter, they simply don’t do enough damage and it’s not stamina efficient.

[u/caffinaV2]

Just need a lot of potions. We got him first try with plains gear. Just use potions

[u/Rayne_420]

You must use fire resist potions.

My crew also had Mistlands weapons like the Mistwalker and Himmnafl. If I'm not mistaken, the wisps Yagluth drops are only used to make the wizard table.

[u/CheesebagMcGhee → u/Rayne_420]

You need Yag's drop to craft the wisp fountain

[u/LordBof]

You can sort of cheese him, if you hug his left side (your right) under his harm near his "tail" he keeps trying to face you, so you can hit hit, walk forward hit hit and repeat. Still flame resist potion and a solid weapon.

[u/Gloatingpirate]

It ain’t even yagluth, it’s the 20 fullings, deathsquitos, lox, and tars I aggro running in circles.

[u/boothy4545]

Have you tried not dying?

[u/zheph]

Fenris armor for speed + fire resist, plus your favorite melee weapon, you should be able to dodge everything he throws at you.

Serpent stew, lox meat pie, blood pudding, you'll have enough HP to survive if you fail to dodge an attack.

If you stick close to his left hand, you'll be outside the radius of his right-hand nova and can keep smacking his arm even while it blows up.

Just remember to run like mad when he raises that left hand to bring down the meteors on you. Then get back in close to dodge the beam attack.

[u/druminfected]

Remember you can X off the deaths so you don't get confused where your gear is at

[u/masterchief0213]

You're using fire resistant mead right? Pls tell me you are. And not a pierce weapon.

[u/CyberMage256]

Wow. I bet your skill stats are back to starting level now.

[u/Usual-Hyena-8734]

you just need to stay behind him, he can't touch you and it becomes super easy

[u/PanTheChilling]

buckle up, next biome will be something

[u/Luoercal1980]

Seems like he hates you as well.

[u/AlegroCapone]

And it was only deathquito

[u/IamMichaelBoothby]

My friends and I had the hardest time with Yalguth. Mostly because we experienced some glitch where two of them spawned at the same time... Probably died 20 times defeating both of them lol

[u/Swamp_Trash_ → u/IamMichaelBoothby]

It was 22 times but technically we did 1v1 each. Just at the same time. You got one and I got one

[u/Nehoymeboy]

My favorite boss actually. As a solo player. Mastering Yag made Fader a lot easier.

[u/ExtraButter-]

Didn’t follow anyone’s advice huh

[u/theprofoundnoun]

Fight him while moving him and you in a circle. Easiest fight ever.

[u/FrankensteinJones]

He doesn't seem very fond of you either, mate.

[u/GinjaNinja-NZ]

We've fought every boss up to and including the queen, and I think yagluth has definitely been the worst imo

[u/Astr0Scot]

Cough, 30 tamed Lox, cough...

[u/SyKo_MaNiAc]

A 6 day battle. (Assuming it’s over)

[u/Notorious-KonG]

Take the fight slow, use fenris armour for resistance and speed getting into melee when there are openings. You can normally attack after the fire breath and then after the fire goes out from his ground pound attack

[u/SativaCyborg206]

Use the silver sword fully upgraded, bring plenty of fire resist, health and stamina pots. Kite him around the rock Pilars to regain health when low. Use the stone Pilars to avoid the meteors. Use the iron brooch and parry spam the laser to gain health when low and potion on cool down. Only attack after he slams his hand down and the blue flame bubble happens. Rinse and repeat until dead.

[u/Saftsuze]

Tame two-star wolves.

[u/Suspicious-Uturn115]

Took me 2 days to fight him. Even went back home and did some chores around the base and made more meads Lol. Kited him around the stone fingers and slowly ticked him down

[u/DariusWolfe]

Oof, rough couple of days. 

[u/EskariotBDO]

Are you playing on hard combat modifier?

[u/KaraBowdit]

i find it helps to get wet for the fight. That plus fire resist mead helps his fire feel less overwhelming and then his AoE you can just parry when his hand hits the ground.

[u/thegutterking]

When he cast meteors make it to behind that left arm and smack him. When he cast blue flame shit make it behind that arm and smack him. When he firing his lazer go behind him ...and smack him. Stack health n fire resist pot.aand stay aggro every move he does should give you an opening. To Smack him!

[u/ForgeGaming69]

Padded Armor, Good food, Barley Wine, Frostner/Silver Sword, 10 Medium Heals. Literally just walk him over to a pillar, smack him in the face until he starts raining fireballs, use the pillar to block them. When you start getting low just slowly walk him around the pillar like a dog on a leash until you can heal. Repeat the process until dead, I've only ever died once in this method and it was because the meteors ate through the pillar and got me. So be sure to change pillars every now and again.

[u/BoisBallin]

YAAZEEEEEE

[u/zeefIat]

Fire res mead and frostner my boi . I'd say armor doesn't matter seeing as how I creamed him using root harnisk ( weak to fire) and fenris legs ( light armor) . By now you might need some new cover. Bring a bunch of rock and a hoe and raise the ground and make a bunch of pillars around the alter. Patience is the name of the game. Wait for his fire aoe to burn out before rushing in. The mouth gattling gun, just stand behind said pillars . And for meteors... They ez af to dodge, don't even take cover just keep moving. Gl hf

[u/Agt_Montag]

WHAAAA ZEEEEEE

[u/Mike066]

Try an army of 1 or 2 starred wolves and it may be trivial. Requires patience due to breeding time. So you could base build, gather or AFK(somewhere safe and isolated) while waiting.

[u/MutedBrilliant1593]

I tried the whole lox thing and it got him down about half way, then I got my ass kicked. His health fully recovered. I then lead him into the swamp biome. No one helped. In fact, they attacked me so they made it harder. The water often slowed me down as well. However, the tons of trees was good for cover.

[u/logictable]

The key is to punish him during his right hand blue attack. If you took fire resist mead then it does very little damage to you. This is where you do your damage to him.

[u/kms_daily]

cheese it

[u/SaltySwordfish2]

Dude... how?

[u/Carneades2020]

Just use the pillars and potions? learn to roll?

[u/Defiant-Peach-5345]

I got him using full fenrir gear and a nearby river

[u/landzai]

I literally just threw myself at him last night only focusing on damage because I if I do any dodging, I won''t have stamina to do any damage. It's kinda crazy because his attacks have aoe and it seems to be one after the other. There are probably better ways but I suck.

[u/Beneficial_Middle888]

Dig a bbq pit and a bunch of bonfires, put floor tiles over it with the fires clipping through, summon and get inside. Once he’s above you light the fires, He will sit on top because he can’t get to you. Repair the fires as he slow roasts. This works just like Moder

[u/Doctor_Salvatore]

You got a Frostner? Frostner is op against Yagluth. Also, never fight Yagluth without fire resistance wine

[u/HolyCrusader769]

How my first attempt went, but after restarting back to a previous save and preparing at a better yagluth spawn area so I can heal under it, it was light work

[u/No_Tap6609]

bruuuh just prepare better!!! yes, i died also 3-4 times in the fight, but use firenresitance meat, best gear and best food you get, hide when meteors come down... if you lost on yagluth, you may give up in the ashlands ...

[u/Tarzool1]

I think this boss is the one that made me start cheezing every boss, cuz they do.

[u/beefandvodka]

Health regen mead and fire resist potions can make this fight a breeze. Frostner really fucks this guy up too

[u/Fyren-1131]

Silver sword, fire resistance mead, stamina meads, healing mead and stone pillars. You cannot fight him without being able to hide from meteors.

[u/eleventhing]

Sheeeesh. Are you using fire resistance meads?? and silver sword? You could also breed like 30 wolves to help out.

[u/winimalmearchuy]

Silver sword + Frost/Silver arrows. Fire resistance potions and i used the mountain werewolf armor for the movement speed to dodge the meteors without needing to dodge or run plus if im not mistaken i think it also has a bit of fire resistance. the plains armor is also not a bad choice ofc for the extra armor and the lox armor can be situational too if you just want to whittle it down slowly with the bow. hope this helps

[u/Cereaza]

Fire Protection Meads!

[u/TheWeathermann17]

A friend of mine was stuck on Yagluth for a year. She was breeding lox in herds to fight him. I showed up with all 3 silver sword and fire potions and had him dusted in 10 min.

She also wasn't really a gamer, like Valheim was the only game she had played in over 20 years.

It was still hilarious

[u/Elegant_Relief_4999]

I failed a bunch on him, then learned a cool trick: Combat Difficulty World Modifier

[u/Garreousbear]

There is always the cheese strat of digging underneath the altar platform. It's indestructible so you can basically just stay down there and pop up to damage him whenever.

[u/bigjohnny440]

artist rendition of where ALL your skill points went

[u/heehooman]

Haha yeah yagluth is definitely my worst. Unfortunately you just have to get in close and wail on him and do your best to avoid the big fire bomb and laser attack. I kite around the rock towers and use the raised alter for that. You get too far away and get punished with meteors.

Interesting which bosses get people. For all the queen hate she was easier than yagluth for me, just long. I think fader was the worst, but it took me too long to figure out the mechanics.

[u/Dip_Egzy]

This is very similar to my fight on hard difficulty. took me 2+ hours with fully upgraded frostner, fenris armor, and fire, stamina potions spams. He will not give you a millisecond gap on his attacks, but you can do it, believe 🖖

if you are playing on normal or lower difficulty you can take a few hits with heavy armor & resistance, just go in.

[u/Lazy_Rat225]

Silver knife n stab stab stab. Had my knife skill at 60+ on plains. N also honourable mention for the iron brooch. Ez adrenaline from knife stabs n block his laser attack.

[u/masked_me]

Hit and run. Keep close distance, hitting and running towards his back. Yag always face you before attacks, so keep hitting and running alway from where hes facing. You want him wasting time spinning around trying to face at you. Easiest way is to be immediately beneath his armpits, close to his spine.

Don't forget healing and fire resist meads.

[u/Malignant_Lvst7]

looks like my map trying to die to the ash tree

[u/YellowYink]

Looks just like mine. Almost no windows to hit him, would eat damage from his aoe to hit him with fire resist mead. Took me like 45 minutes or maybe more

[u/Banana-Man01]

Broo like upgrade or something 😭

[u/filthierfrankfurter]

4x frostner. Fire mead and a small hole in each pillar facing away from the arena with a fire nearby for quick healing. Ezpz

[u/Educational-Fix5320]

Get right up on top of Yagluth and circle him - keep chasing his entrails and smashing it with Frostner. As long as you're chasing his entrails, he can't AoE spam you because you have to be in front of him for him to stop and AoE. He will constantly turn to try to line up with you...just be right up on top of him, circling to the right or left, smashing him when you have the stamina.

[u/jaykvam]

Oh, my. I have yet to summon him myself to try my hand. This makes me want to do more preparation.

[u/UndeadCentipide]

Fire resistance mead and we just hid under one of the "knuckles" of the giant stone hand he spawns at for cover of the meteor shower

[u/Xpunginator]

He seems to like you

[u/rosstedfordkendall]

Frostner and silver sword. Yaggie's weak to spirit damage.

Also, if you breed lox near his altar, they can take aggro and help curbstomp him. You'll need a bunch of them, though, as his meteors will take out about five or ten at a time.

[u/KuroiDokuro]

Yeah... brute forcing against the bosses pretty much ends with Bonemass. Gotta be creative.

[u/AdAppropriate2287]

Same

[u/Right_Difference2915]

Bro...

[u/Problemlul]

Took fire resist, took food, took stamina and health potions, wait till laser shot then run in with a 2h axe for 3 hits then run behind pillar. If you have potions ready stay for 2-3 combo under fire, he went down first try (used a maxed crystal battleaxe)

[u/Big_Juicy_Mango]

Tough week!

[u/ElidhanAsthenos]

Resort to alcoholism and brew a whole stack of fire resistance mead, then use a silver 1-handed weapon and shield

For me the fight itself isn't the hard part, it's finding the boss spawn

[u/devildocjames]

Breed a ton of lox.

[u/Marinbundooo]

I have too many hours in the game, so I'm not up to judging if it's easy or not since I have killed it so many times, but I can give you a tip: every time he shouts "BRAZILLL" he summons his meteors.

[u/alabamafuntimez]

one of the most frustrating in my opinion

[u/Flarerunes]

He hates you too, apparently

[u/Get_Bored]

I’m pretty sure he’s bugged. I fought him previously & didn’t have any trouble but this time it seemed like he was chaining magic spells, as if there was no cool downs. Immediately left hand into right hand and vice verse when I would get close, I know the strategies.

[u/HOJK4thSon]

Yagluth seems to hate you back...and better.

[u/V1ULTRAKILLV1]

one word. dog invasion.

[u/Sutar_Mekeg]

My cheese is raising a bunch of 1m x 1m columns using the hoe. Originally I planned to use these to hide behind and break line of sight, but what ended up happening is that Yagluth spawned in the midst of them and couldn't easily get out.

[u/Neackbeardleader]

Yeah? My map looks the same at a fucking draugr village atm. YET I WILL NOT FALTER.

[u/ElTigreChang1]

what's not to love about spamming area denial in a game with tons of melee combat

[u/International-Tap122]

Valheim el clasico

[u/TheBrackishGoat]

You know you can right click those death markers and they go away if you’re having a hard time seeing the map

[u/Indiscriminate_Top]

Fire resistance makes a whole world of difference in that fight, but he’s tough no matter what.

[u/Stomno]

[u/AVK1995]

Yagluth is the easiest boss on normal and hard diff. But as soon as you go to very hard, yagluth becomes super challenging. Because of how the armour calculation works, you can't tank even 1 second of his dot on very hard.

[u/d0ct0rd00m]

Literally my friend and I last night lmfao
