List of All Stone Circle Bosses in Valheim
Five bosses of Valheim play key role in your journey through the game. Each of the stones in the circle you appear in represents a specific Forsaken. Defeating each of the bosses in order is one of the cornerstones of progressing Valheim.
Here are the five Valheim bosses in order:
- Eiktur
- Ancient
- Bone mass
- Moder
- Yaglut
Each boss must be summoned in specific (procedurally generated) locations before they spawn in the world so you don't accidentally stumble upon any of them while exploring or hunting. Make sure you are ready to call each of the them , because they are all very strong .
Defeating the stone circle bosses is worth your effort! Each of the Valheim bosses will drop unique materials when killed to help you progress through the next chapter of the game. They will also drop a head trophy: take each head and hang it on the corresponding gem back on respawn and you will unlock a special power Forsaken for each defeated boss, which you can summon at any time.
Where and how to find Valheim bosses?
To find out the location mystical altar boss (a place where you can summon him), you must look for and interact with glowing red runestones with their name. One of these runsetons is part of the stone circles on respawn and tells you where the first boss, Eiktur, is located.
Further, the task becomes more difficult, because subsequent locations with bosses become more and more difficult to detect. You must go and explore the towers and crypts to find the corresponding runestones. Each boss is tied to a specific biome type, so you will find the corresponding runestones hidden in the structures of that particular biome.
Eiktur: Valheim's first boss
Eiktur
Eiktur is the first boss in Valheim. A terrifying sight, this giant stag is wrapped in chains and can summon lightning bolts on its attack that deal massive damage in an area around it.
Lots of stamina and a shield is the key to countering Eiktur's attacks.
To summon Eiktur you need to get to the mark on the map, where the Altar of Summoning will be located. For its appearance, you must have 2 deer trophies.

The Ancient One: Second Boss of Valheim

Patience, good dodge, and healing are required to defeat this beast, but the rewards more than make up for the cost.
- Biome: Black forest.

Bone Mass: Valheim XNUMXrd Boss
Mass of Bones is a particularly nasty Valheim boss. Poison and health regeneration are its strengths, making it very difficult to press this grim entity.
There are two or three items you need to prepare with in order to destroy the Bone Mass much easier. Need to stock up Withered bones. To call, you will need to collect 10 bones. To find them, you will need a key dropped from the previous boss, a lot of patience and pickaxes.

Moder: fourth boss of Valheim
Moder is a particularly intimidating boss hiding in a particularly dangerous area of the world of Walheim: the mountains. A giant black and white wyvern, Moder flies around and uses ice attacks to slow you down, leaving you vulnerable to his claws.
To summon, the player will need to put on the Altar 3 dragon eggs. There are many difficulties with this. First of all, do not collect eggs without potions to protect against the cold. After all, they are all in the same place - in the Mountains, where it is not very warm. Items are heavy, which makes it impossible for the player to teleport to the desired point. In addition, they take up a lot of space in luggage.
After collecting the eggs, you need to install them in the Altar for summoning. There are holes for this. As soon as the call is completed, the player will have to defeat the dragon that has appeared on the horizon. Don't forget to drink before the battle mead, which will increase resistance to cold. The bow is the best weapon for this fight.
- Biome: The mountains.
- How to find: interact with runestones in stone structures in the mountains.
- How to call: place 3 dragon eggs on the mystical altar of Modera.
- Unique loot: Dragon Tear (Used to craft the Artisan's Table).
- Buffs after killing: Always a fair wind while sailing.
Yaglut: fifth boss of Valheim
Yaglut is the fifth and currently final boss in Valheim, and upon summoning takes the form of the glowing upper body of a colossal skeleton.
Yaglut is slow and telegraphs his attacks, which is good, because if you get hit by one of them, they will be extremely painful.
The location of the enemy is the Plains location, not so far from the previous boss.
Required to summon 5 Goblin Totems. These items are found in goblin villages. Their search may take some time, so be patient. On the Altar for the call there are holes - bowls for offerings. It is necessary to place the existing totems in them. After the actions taken, the king appears in front of the player.
This Boss is considered by many players to be the most difficult, so it is recommended to stock up on a lot of patience (which the player should have done while collecting the totems needed for the summon). It may not be possible to win on the first try, but do not lose heart. Try to hit the enemy from afar and carefully watch his attacks. Most of them are easy to dodge, because the enemy is very slow. If you decide to pump into melee, then take a spear for quick point strikes from a distance.
- Biome: plains.
- How to find: interact with the runestones around the standing stones in the Plains.
- How to call: Place 5 Goblin Totems on Yaglut's Mystic Altar.
- Unique loot: Unknown item of Yaglut (not implemented yet).
- Kill buff: frost/fire/poison resistance.
This applies to each of the five Valheim bosses that have been implemented, but it's likely that we'll see more bosses introduced as the game progresses towards Early Access. In the meantime, why not expand your horizons with our mead production guides in Valheim ?
