Valheim: 7 Ways to Kill Yagluth - Melee, Wet Debuff, Bow & Arrows, Wolves, Bonfires, and Glitches 

15:28 Love the giant explosion, followed by walking a few steps and face-planting!

I can confirm that raising earth does NOT work if you think he cant pass through and your safe behind them. He smashes everything to stone. I have the little island off the coast yagluth one. So I built a stone hut across on land, had a walk way over to island kinda in water/land so i wouldn't end up having to swim back over. I raised to pillars onbwalkway and put a iron gate to. 3 fuling spawn on island and some on land so thats why i did gate. Needless to say, I went with silver sword, the fenis armor (supposedly fire resistant... BS) and still i used fire meed aswell. Well idk wtf happened but i kept burning. Even with fire potion and fire resistant armor, maybe the linen cape? I wore it for looks. But anyway, I DIED in a min or two, spawned back across the way in hut and was trying to grab back up items to get back across and keep going.... He was out side my hut (stone) and smashed TF out of me and my home. I didn't barely get a chance to open the box to grab items and i hear him right outside my spawn and BAM! I see _You Died_ AGAIN. I literally took hours to prepare to fight him, preparing the little island etc, for jack. Now both my portals and bed, hell everything are toast. I spawn at altar and now have to basically sail back from closest spawn (mortar spawn I guess). I was watching this vid right before fighting him. Now i complaining after ive somehow died twice and lost everything. 2 different maxed gear sets, black metal sword, axe, pickaxe, shield, dragner bow... Everything lol 🤦‍♂️ Yagluth is ⚠️ Dangerous!

Let's not forget killing him with approx 20 lox. Get them on him FAST, they will kill him faster than the wolves if you do it right

Perfect guide. Easy to follow and concise. Thanks!

Very well done, clear easy to follow no unnecessary bs and several methods clearly marked, best how to videos I have seen in a while

This is by far the best guide on how to beat this boss I found on YT!

I'm going to setup for the belly buster method today! Excellent guide!

Excellent guide. Now I want to try all the methods (except the wolves).

Bow skill really increases the DPS of the bow because it not only increases the DMG but all decreases the draw time from 2.5 seconds to 0.8 seconds at lvl 100. This makes the bow do around 6 times the DPS at lvl 100 vs 0. Yagluth is killable even with worse arrows at a high bow skill level. Tip, try doing a bow-only run and your skill level will be around 80-90 when you get to Yagluth.

Nice guide. Ten 2** wolves is enough too (with a little help with silver sword). If you are lucky you can even kill him twice in a row with the same wolves, losing them only on the second go. The second time I did not manage to bring the wolves in time to do the initial damage during spawning, so I lost them when Yag was 3/4 down. The rest was just a bit of work for silver sword (I helped wolves during the fight too a little, but just a little).

I used method 6. It worked extremely well for me, thanks. I have two goblin villages and 3 tar pits close to the alter. I didn't want to risk any adds messing up the fight. Silver sword and middle mouse killed him in about 5 minutes :)

This guide was incredible

correction to your "frost arrows are only ones that do descent damage to Yag, Silver arrows do more damage than frost arrows , but are costly. Good guide. Thanks for posting.

Yep, I tried method 6, and Yag immediately destroyed the trap with me in it. I'm not sure if they fixed the AI, or if some differences in my setup caused it. Differences are: There were two players instead of one. In addition to the workbench at floor level, I had another workbench buried below the wooden floor, and I had an escape/return portal below the floor. All were destroyed in the second Yagluth arrived. :) was funny. Also, I had another portal, quite far, but maybe not far enough away.

awesome video man

I tried the water debuff lastnite on Yagluth, worked well until 3 Lox spawned next to the alter and ruined the fight, I will try again soon. Game on !

If you really need another way you can also make a dirt wall around the area(such as walls from pillar to pillar). Then slowly dig/build them closer until you can get him in a spot to use Sledge, takes awhile but it works, lol.

Wow 😮 great strategy 👍👍👍

Also if you are fighting with a group. You can typically dig under the altar and get enough space for a fire and teleporter to help out if anyone needs it. None of his attacks will hit them as the altar takes no damage. The group I play with is large and all but 2 people have quality gear....

Cheers mate. Thank you

Whoop! New video!

7:12 i am not sure if the hottub was available during the time you made this video, but you can now just put that somewhere close to the arena if its not near water to get the wet debuff :)

Can't believe it I found it right away 😂 I spent hours looking for the dragon one tho 😢😅😅

That last glitch reminded me of some time spent under a certain forge xD

Excellent guide. I’m holding off on ending Yaggy boy for a bit. I’m having a difficult time finding totems on my seed, and since I also like using them for decorations along with extra boss trophies, I need quite a few. Because they don’t respawn, the Fuling raids on my base are the only renewable way to obtain them, as beserkers have a chance to drop totems. Once Yagluth is defeated, the Fuling raids stop, so its gonna be a bit before I take him on.

was funny + good tips for melee and dmg reduction

Bro u just nailed it. Roast, wolf and trap her underground are best 😂😂😂

Im on xbox one, got it on gamepass. I just killed yag, using your stab from below technique. Still works great. I actually dig down deep made a base, portal bed etc, then on top of that I had the platform I stand on under the ground level floors. I really enjoyed digging out and preparing the area, prob more than just standard mele fight 😁 I used to be addicted to Ark survival. This game has overtaken my life lol. Now no idea what to do next with this wisp thing. 😅 Thanks for the info! Subscribed.

Excellent video! For the wet debuff method, would this be a nice use case for tasty mead? This would boost your stamina, but would hurt your health regen. Most of the time, it might be worthwile i think. :)

man I didn't realise that dodge rolling completely prevents the lightning damage from his slam. Had I known that I could've had so much more time to get hits in and would've made the fight 100x easier

21:52 "Apparently he doesn't like those" funniest valheim joke of all time

there is a strategy on his pattern, when he meteor it's on cd, so if you prefer, try to trigger his meteor, then go near him and trigger his fist, after this, he can't meteor until a moment and can't use another attack cause you are too close that let you a moment to free dps

I recommend using a fully upgraded Root Armor in this fight for some *_extra spice._*

There is a better way to immobilize than digging ditches. Dragon's teeth (similarly to tanks) - vertical earth embankments are built 3-4 times and at appropriate intervals. This method should also work in the fight against the boss in Ashland.

My Yagluth altar was next to 2 tar pits that I didn't see before I started the fight. Made this fight way harder than it should've been. The tar slimes didn't even attack him.

I never really tried taming animals, but 2 star wolves!!?? o.o I liked that kill the most and it was pretty fast too. When I first tried to fight Yagluth, I spend more that two hours bulding a 5 store stone tower with stairs and workbenches inside (I used up over 600stones, which luckily I already had gathered). I thought I´d shoot him from above and he would not attack me, or that the tower could withstand the damage. That was of course before I even witnessed him for the first time not having any prior knowledge about his appearance or attacks. After first meteor shower, my tower was half destroyed leaving my tombstone still on top of it. After I arrived there butt naked hoping to get my things back, I couldn´t get to the top cause the stairs were destroyed and so I was forced to try to load some old save files. It seemed to work, I woke up in my bed with all my things, but after I got to the Yagluth again, he was already there awoken, so I think I can´t use any of these methods now as they require time to prepare the battlefield. Any advise how to kill him, when he is already there? I can bring anything from my home there, but he is already standing there, so I can´t prepare battlefield :/ :/

Wished I knew about the fire resistance mead. Would've made this fight sooo much easier

Yup took forever to find this boss just happened to see a location finder while sailing past some plains

What level was your bow? Obviously that makes a huge damage difference

So that's why i felt like my Blackmetal Sword doesn't hit him pretty hard, despite my sword skills being at lvl 41, so spirit weapons works the most significant damage rather than blackmetal ones. Should've not even bother creating blackmetal sword...owwh well i just beat him today...lol thanks for the tips tho..great work

wow i forgot how awful that camera shake looks in my eyes, glad I turned it off

with the wet debuff method would using the Frostner on him do enough added damage to him being in the water to be a better choice?

Nice

ty

Thanks just got to plains

when the game got released he dropped "yagluth thing" it was kinda funny to have this bc it was an item that was completely useless

One tip if uyou use wolf,help them do dammage and wolf might survie

with the mistland, you have black marble that is unvulnerable to fire, can you make a roof with it ?

Good vid. But for critisism if you make an example of not having barley for barley wine maybe not use all barley based foods for that example.

#7 🙏

not sure if they fixed the glitch in hildir's request update, but i couldn't manage to clip into the altar. tho been unlucky a bit too, i found two spawns that were just exactly at the sea level, so it was hard to do this properly with my viking constantly starting to swim. maybe i'll try it again if i find a better located spawn point, but they do tend to be on the coastline most often than not, unfortunately. tho i did defeat yagluth with the first method without much problem (using frostner instead of sword), i remember him being way tougher when i fought him with a friend a while ago. not sure if they nerfed him a bit and didn't tell anyone, or we just had a skill issue...

the spirit damage debuff doesnt stack, wouldnt it be optimal to use silver sword to apply debuff, then swap to Black Metal sword for more DPS output? when he stops taking spirit damage, swap back for one hit with the silver sword?

After you kill yagluth what kind of raids do you get?

Wow, I watched the damage you took in the melee segment and it was NOT at all representative of the sort of damage I was taking doing the same thing with the same food and gear and wine. Did they change this boss since you made the video? I was taking more than double damage from sitting inside the blue, just ticking

I think full Fenris is actually better than padded for this boss. You don't have to bother with mead, as well as providing you with increased move speed which makes avoiding his strikes or running back in for attacking faster letting you do more damage. You won't really need armour for physical damage since you're not supposed to get hit by meteors, especially with the aforementioned speed bonus.

Fire resist potion, stamina potions, melee set with movement resist and running speed buff, claws. Run in, do your dmg, get out to dodge. Repeat. Easiest non cheesy/exploit way.

4:00 you say silver sword beats any blackmetal weapon but does that include the blackmetal sword? Surely that's an upgrade on the silver equivalent.

i killed yagluth with black metal sword and no fire resistant...i literally didnt know you can craft it..

Important tip: When he rises his left arm, he fires TWO volleys of meteors. If you stop after avoiding the first one, the second one will get you.

VERY good guide. And I did everything wrong, he killed all my wolves, used black metal weapons and the fenrir set.🤦‍♂

Wouldn't silver arrows work just as well as frost because he's undead?

Tried the water tech, did not really work. Was knocked out of my mind all the time.

Nope, the method with killing him from under the ground doesn't work. He just stays on the wooden platform and there is no way to hit him

I tried the thing with a hole but he broke the floor and fell in it. I can’t get him out and I cand hit him but he can hit me I broke the fight lmao. Tried getting a wild lox to fall in the hole with him he didn’t mind the lox and he also couldn’t hurt it. Tried cheering with arrows but they do like 15 damage

i SPAWNED HIM WITH ZERO KNOWLEDGE! Now i need to get my body back :( and craft some fire resist, and hope for the best.

fuck it we ball. black metal sword. bonemass. good food good life. skill

I tried #6 but his stomach never came through.. He did get stuck in my hole though and now im doomed

I found the boss stone 100m from the boss arena

I tried the method 6 but Something strange happened, the boss didn't came top of the shelter. Then I went out and looked. It turns out that the boss is stuck in the spawn zone sdfsdfsdf :D then I get some cover and killed it with arrows. I didn't need a tower. he didn't even attack me. this is the best bug I guess :D

So 15 two star wolves. How about 30-40 one star wolves?

Tried method 6 he went super sayan as soon as i moved lol

My bow level is 22, sword 27. The fully upgraded bow with frost arrows makes nearly no damage at the boss, but the silver sword works very well. totally forgot the option of silver arrows :-(

frost > silver head arrows?

does anyone know if these have been patched by now?

I know you did the wolf army method, but did you try a herd of Lox?

Does is still works in 2024?!

If he is immune to pierce how does the silver sword any good? Me and 2 friends tried him today and he took no damage and the damage he did take he healed it back

I found him before I found the stone lol

should i max upgrade the silver sword?

belly method doesnt work anymore..

Easiest boss in the game by far. Hit and walk behind pillar, shield up, kill

I feel like the spear would be more efficient

🥰👍

Couldn´t Yagluth be considered a "skeleton" so you use some maul/mace on him?

My pc can barely run this boss fight cause of how many particles it makes so I did not enjoy the slideshow I was playing😂

I saw a video the other day that said the wet debuff no longer works, that Yagluth removes the possibility of a wet debuff happening.

try silver arrows. he is weak to spirit

7 ways to kill a Yagluth ~ Just slip out the back Jack, make a new plan Stan, you don't need to be coy Roy you don't have to shoot arrows MUUUUCH just Hop off the bus Gus, Drop off the key Lee, Sip on a pot Scott and dont leave to go Pee.

must recently broke. fire resistance never helped and his attack pattern got faster. cant even get in to attack now without getting blasted by 2 attacks at once...

you can use yagluth to protect from meteors just in front of his big head and easy avoid damage

14:28 Actually, I think silver arrows would be the most effective, but also, costly.

Those strat dont work in hardcore

why needed a full plate armor when all the damage of yagluth is fire damage ? the fenring armor provide fire resistance, isn't it better ? ( and speed to dodge comet)

Goat

It’s an easy boss why cheese him that’s not satisfying at all

Honestly bosses in this game are pretty easy. I'm playing valheim with 1 friend, the 2 of us killed every boss including yagluth with relative ease, and without dying. Only the Elder killed us both multiple times the first time we beat him, but the second time we changed strategy and we didn't die. We just work together and always have one of us on the front line until health gets low, then that person drops back a bit and the other person takes over the attention of the boss. We just rotate like this until we deplete their healthbar. The most important things are teamwork and a good preparation. Bring the best food, best weapons, and best gear available to you combined with the appropriate meads. Figure out the boss's attack set as quickly as possible, they all have like 3 main attacks they do. Once you understand their moveset they're all pretty easy to dodge. And then just patiently damage them consistently without getting greedy. If your health gets kinda low just retreat, get cover, regen, and then go back in. Good luck!

How Naruto characters beat susanoo 😂

I dont get why you would use glitches, you want to beat the boss dont you, not cheat it

Not a fan of cheesing stuff

Perfect guide. Easy to follow and concise. Thanks!
