Quick answer
In fact, the Elder, Bonemass, and even Moder are all closer to your spawn than even Eikthyr. These are completely covered with roots that you might recognize from the elder fight. The Elder model and his trophy likewise have been reworked. And which is about the only inhabitants left in the world called the elders and their ancient knowledge.
This practice can be extended to bosses like the Elder or Yagluth by spamming fires and circling him all while maintaining the fire durability with the hammer. It's actually quite reminiscent of those old Elder Scrolls games where everything you do levels up. Your best bet for finding these creatures will be at night where they become common spawns in the black forest but also in the meadows after defeating the Elder. Also, often blending with the trees are the elder-like barka, which in my opinion might be the most dangerous creature in the biome.
As you stand, you will enter the crypt making the Elder boss fight completely optional. The Elder and Yagluth with four, and Bowass, the Queen, and Fodder with the most at five. Okay, we've got troll cave and an elderstone. I'll show you what I did for this build in a moment, but first, I want to share with you how you can actually use the Elder to get tons of wood, inspired by JP Valheim.
Boss basics
Be better at the game, elder. Heading outside, we encountered another massive creature in the Barka, which resembled almost a skinnier frozen version of the elder. With the elder, we now get a boost to our pickaxes, guys. Defeat the elder with campfires like we did Eik.
This is my fight with Yagluth. Thank god that trash is over. The Elder now boosts both mining and tree chopping, plus increases health regeneration. And this roadblock on the way to the elder, which has new ways for exploration.
And if choosing to skip the Elder, this next cheat using a simple chair is a must but before that I’ve got the perfect deal for you this holidays season with todays video partner ENEBA. Like bosses, minibosses have a 100% drop rate so her trophy will be simple to acquire.And lastly, the Elder after summoning with 3 ancient seeds, again with a perfect drop rate. you got from defeating the Black Forest boss, the Elder, to open the gate and gain access to the crypt. He will, of course, disappear if you get too close, but will only start to spawn after you've defeated the Elder.
Summoning requirements
All right, elder location is Oh, the other way completely, but it could still be on the same island. To do this, clear out an area of space near the Elder spawner and flatten the area as needed. After you kill the elder, you get a swamp key. We get faster mining from the elder.
And I'm going to do a commentary while I'm watching the video myself. Where's the Where's the stuff you get from the boss? But back to the chair, yes, you can still get iron after skipping the Elder by using the infamous chair glitch. With the elder location found, the next step was some armor.
Nine is a good number and summon the Elder. I was going to give you elder buff. As you can see, I'm walking up to the boss point here. Spent two hours on this [ ] [ ]
Fight strategy
And back at base, that's exactly what we did because for elder, which we are kind of prepping for soon, we need as good of a finewood bow as I can make. As the Elders throw their vines at you, stomp their feet and summon the roots, they will do big damage to the dense forest around you. Um and I have already collected the statues needed to summon Yagluth. After building and with copper smelting, I decided that it might not be a bad idea to go put down a portal next to Elder, even if I wasn't ready to fight it quite yet.
From here, I dig a doorway at the top of the hill and begin planting the trees in similar fashion as we did with the Elder strategy. I am watching for mobs around the spawn point and clearing it before I start the boss fight, which is definitely recommended. So, the idea is we'll leave one at base, we'll leave one at alter, and then we'll take one with us to Elder. Grab your best axe, pop Elder's power and chop like hell.
Again, as some of the other boss fights, Yagluth spawns at a point and he has a common line phase where you can hit him a lot. And we're going to start heading to Elder. And this is what I do. We're going to leave one at alter and take one towards Elder, whether we reach there or not.
Rewards and drops
I hit him again and again. Okay, this island, if I had to guess, definitely connects to Elder, which is really nice. And he as you can see, he loses about about 10% to 15% life. We got this is our elder portal.
As you can see, he lifts his left arm here and meteors come down. We'll sleep for the night and we'll continue to elder. The best place to be when he does this is behind a rock, uh behind uh Yagluth, so that the meteors come flying in from an angle where they will hit the pillar. All right, we have arrived at the elder with a nice place to put our portal.
And this will be shown many times during this fight. Now, the Elder itself, obviously, as you guys have seen, is not a particularly difficult fight. And he also does a fire breath that does fire electricity damage, chop damage. The Elder has been felled is such a good ending.
Tips and mistakes
And as you can see here, another foolin came in and I finished him off quickly. The plan was to pick up the elder portal and then take it as far as I could on this island. I will do this like three times in the fight in general. We found a Rocky and we got some great dorf nest knocked down, which I don't think that we'll need to do elder again.
And I'm trying to get as much damage in on Yagluth. Elder portal picked up and let's get moving on it to wherever the swamp may be. While I still have my potion slot. We're going to go out to where the elder Nope, that is everything wrong.
And here he summons the meteors again. Where the elder portal's at out here. And as you can see they hit the giant pillar. Dude, I can't believe that's closer than Elder.
