The second Valheim boss is a worthy challenge; here’s what you need to know Hail, brave viking warrior. You’ve arrived bearing the trophy of Eikthyr, the first Valheim boss, after defeating him in glorious battle – and now you’re looking to face the second boss, the notorious Elder. A challenge for a true viking champion. Let us prepare for this great battle – we shall share our knowledge concerning how to summon The Elder, and how to beat The Elder once you’ve woken him from his slumber. First things first – to get the party started, you must locate The Elder’s summoning stone. To find it, you’ll need to venture into the burial chambers and structures around the Black Forest, and eventually you’ll come across a Rune Stone that points the way to The Elder’s altar. Hopefully the altar is not too far away; once you get there, we recommend setting up a portal nearby so that anyone who perishes in the fight can hop back to their gravestone and rejoin the fight quickly. To build a portal, you need ten greydwarf eyes, two surtling cores, and twenty fine wood – gathered by chopping down birch and oak trees with a bronze axe.
