![]() ![]() Whenever you meet the boss head on, there’s a chance it’ll make a quick swipe at you with its massive horns. Once the ball of energy dissipates, go in for a strike. If you see the boss kick up its legs for more than a second, keep your distance. It’ll crash back down with a bubble of lightning. Look for a similar movement where Eikthyr rears up but hangs in the air a bit longer.When boss kicks up its legs, move to the side, avoiding the lighting bolt attack, and rush in for an attack. When Eikthyr rears up in a quick motion, it’ll come back down with a large lighting bolt that shoots in a straight line in whatever direction it’s facing.But keeping the stag’s limited moveset in mind will make the fight much easier: As the creature’s lightning crackles through the now misty forest, you might be a bit intimidated. The forest will grow dark and a flash of light will appear, summoning Eikthyr. Once you’re ready, interact with the offer bowl and get ready to take on Eikthyr. Place your two deer trophies in your inventory hotbar (or else you can’t offer them up).Brush up on how to cook, and fill your belly with meals to maximize your health.Before setting off, repair all your gear. Craft whatever available armor you can, as well as a weapon and a shield.It just requires patience and preparation. Taking it down isn’t much of a challenge. ![]() The chained stag is your first real battle in Valheim. With those in hand, head back to Eikthyr’s altar and offer them up. Keep hunting deer until you get two deer trophies. If you have a bit more patience, slowly creep toward them and take them out with a flint knife. Just keep an eye on your stamina as you line up your shot. A clean headshot should take down a deer silently. If you have the bow, it’s the best tool for hunting them. (Running around will only scare them off.) When you hear them call out, crouch and investigate your surroundings. To locate deer, explore the woods and listen for their telltale cry. Deer can also smell you, so pay attention to the direction that the wind is blowing and make sure the deer you’re hunting isn’t downwind. Hunting deer can be a bit annoying in Valheim because they’re easy to scare away.

Now, I'm still just some dumb kid hoping that at some point in my lifetime I will get to play this game. Now, I believe we are all at a point where we are hopeful of a release, but have lost the drive to actively check for updates.Ĭrazy to think I was just some dumb, carefree kid when Eitr was announced. And then, as time went on, those weeks turned to months, and the months to years. Sometimes, a week or two would go by and I'd think, "HOLY SHIT! I forgot to check Eitr updates! Maybe it's out?!" only to return to no news or updates. I remember checking for updates on this game weekly. The combination of pixel art and souls-like gameplay was so enticing to me. I remember how excited I was when this was announced. Went through THREE serious, but toxic relationships. Still deciding on what I wanted to do with life, if I wanted to go to college, etc. I remember when Eitr was announced in 2015. ![]()
