Just a tip here that's worth noting about the bronze armour: If you are using a bow and kiting around consider equipping instead the Troll Hide Armour. This is true of any fight where kiting is possible. Bronze armour slows your movement speed. The point of kiting is to stay at range and avoid getting hit. The last thing you need is a movement penalty. That 10% may not seem much but it's significant. You especially notice this when out of stamina so trying to get some distance between you and a mob. It WILL catch you if attempting to flee the scene in Bronze gear.
@@sovietsid9452 - Literally doesn't matter man. Just use the Eikthyr power which gives you more jump and run speed. If it's your first Elder fight, you'll most probably have this power equipped.
No need for the fires or anything like that, and honestly a bow isn't necessary and slows down an already long fight. You do want to fight him at the summon spot. Make sure you get behind a pillar until he comes to you after being summoned. Get close so he stomps, dodge the stomp, then get in some hits depending on how much stamina you have left. I suggest using a bronze sword. As soon as he summons the roots, (wait until they actually appear as they are proximity based so if you run right away, you'll bring them with you) run to the pillar across from you. Hide there until he comes over your way (destroying all the roots in the process), then run out, dodge the initial stomp, get in your swings, rinse and repeat. Super easy method. I literally just tested it before posting this so I know it works and he still behaves this way. Unless a root gets in a lucky swing, you shouldn't even take any damage this way. I was only hit twice, both of which were lucky root swings and didn't do much at all. Happy Hunting!
When I killed him I just moved pillar to pillar. Roots never touched me as I moved when he summoned them.. and his vines got blocked by the pillar. Never got close enough to stomp me.. works well assuming you want to use range.
Quick note: the greydwarf spawners are susceptible to fire, so using fire arrows from a distance is an easy way to destroy the spawners BEFORE you start fighting the creatures. There's a rune stone that mentions this, I believe.
@@exemida I've played over 450 hours and I don't think I've ever seen a 2 star brute. 1 star, sure, plenty of times. Also find that fire arrows work well. Or parry, attack, parry, attack, etc. Can't attack more than 1 without getting hit back though.
Love watching these after I have already fought the boss just to see how much easier of a time I would have had. I was doing fine in a 1v1 with it until a horde of greydwarf's and a troll showed up. Was pretty much running around shooting the occasional arrow at the elder until it died for about 1/3rd of the battle at the end.
Zig-zagging to catch the wind while sailing is called tacking. I was pretty excited to see that this was a thing in game, as this is how real-world sailing works. I grew up on a lake that was PERFECT for sailing to the south-east. 10 minutes to go four miles or so. And then the rest of the day to get back home.
When sailing, going down to 1 chevron brings up an oar icon in the top right, meaning you are rowing. Especially with the raft, rowing straight is faster than tacking back and forth if you don't have the wind. You can also row backwards, this can be useful for docking or avoiding rocks
At least with the raft, which I only used on pretty short distances (visible distances)-- the speed difference just didn't seem significant enough to justify adding distance over shorter spans. I got a really terrible spawn, my first boss was several islands away. I haven't had to do as much sailing with the karve or longship yet, so they may well be different!
The raft is absolute ass. Better to mine some copper and tin to make bronze nails so you can build the Karve. You will also need the bronze axe and chop down birch and/or oak to get fine wood.
If you want to travel into the wind on the raft, pull up the sail and use the rudder exclusively which happens automatically, you just have to steer left and right. The rudder becomes like a paddle to propel you. The place where you see the sail icon is replaced with a picture of a rudder being rocked left and right. So it's essentially like an oar.
Lol yesterday after watching your video I tried looking for my first dungeon. When I entered it "Troll Cave" and I was like wait he never said their was a troll cave XD
I actually thought one of his abilities was to summon Greydwarfs and Greylings and Shamans and stuff as minions, because when I played it I had a growing wave of like 100 of them chasing me through every corner. I guess it's just because my brilliant mind decided to fight him during night time and I wondered actually pretty far from the center of it all.
They possibly had Greydwarf nest where they spawned from . You still play the game ? For me i ran from fight 2 times because i run out of arows , and when i came back after 45 min with potions and everything Elder was Afk and i used opportunity and slayed him .
This is super helpful. I've been having a hell of a time trying to even find the Elder place. Mine looks to be in the swampland area which is so toxic, i've died numerous times just trying to reach it.
To your first way of cheesing it I have a better version of it, use the copper pickaxe and actually create a tunnel with 2 ends, come from one side, shoot an arrow at it and run to the other side and repeat, if it takes too much time you can put a crafting table in the tunnel and a bonfire to recover health and repair the bow quickly. YES, this method will take you a few minutes, but I recommend it since being stuck in a tiny hole won't work much. Making a tunnel with 2 ends would be the safest way.
@@MrShnazer Same Technique as the trolls, lure him to where you have trees and boulders and the boss will destroy them trying to kill you and you can reap the materials after the boss is downed
I died in the middle of he ocean with my karve yesterday and spent 45 minutes sailing back to that spot in a raft. That ride would’ve been 10 tops with the karve.
Tacking in Zig Zag with a ~30 degree angle against the wind is how you do it in real life with modern boats to sail against the direction of the wind. However, the Vikings did not have the technology for that. Their sails could only catch wind coming from the aft and theoretically up to 90 degrees on both sides (to varying efficiency). I guess they didn't do that in the game because no one cares for that much realism and it would hinder a lot of the sailing in the game.
I found he was really easy with just fire arrows and keep moving. Use the pillars for cover and just run when he does roots. Just make sure to upgrade your Bow so you have enough condition to get thru it.
I tried laying out campfires and The Elder just walked into the water and stood there. Fight lasted 3 in game days and we had to teleport back to base to make more arrows.
Keep ‘em coming, Danny. Because of the streams, I am 3 bosses deep in knowledge without ever having played this myself (console player).

@@dhisanamincheri4830 I didn't say you could. If you have a bronze buckler and full bronze with halfway decent food, you'll live long enough to heal if you block their attack. You'll still take damage, but they wont kill you if you atleast block on food.

OG soulsborn vets: Parries aren't animation based in this game. They are click based. You can have your shield up and tap block as the attack hits. You can do this to multiple attacks in less than a second if you can keep all of them in mind. Roll dodging is OP in this game. There are plenty of invincibility frames and you can even roll dodge through shaman poison cone. If you are a dark souls vet, you are a fucking god in this game.
The flame arrows take a lot of time IMO. I just got close to him,blocked his stomps and hack slashed him. It's much quicker if you have an upgraded bronze sword though. Also, thank you so much for your guides, they are precise and exact. Carry on mate. Cheers!
"one is an exploit, the other is legit" In times of rage and anger, an exploit fight is just as serotonin as a legit fight, fact that's how i killed most the trolls i come across, exploiting the terrain.
Amazing how the first boss was so easy and the second one was 10x harder. The game be telling you that the tutorial is over and now you have to face real challenges.
I killed the 1st boss very early on with the shitty bow, 2nd boss was even easier since he dosn't chase you far from the arena & you can just snipe him from afar.
Melee works well. Parry or block the footstomp then counter. He'll summon those vines every so often you just kill the ones next to you and that's about it.
ancient seeds also drop from brutes and rarely from chests, so if you want to keep a greyling nest as a farm for eyes, and train your skills earlygame, you will also eventually get your seeds. then you already have your eyes for later. Time -saver win win.
Just a tactic I use when fighting any of the so=pawn mobs, I kite them around the spawn node and keep shooting the node until it's gone then I focus on the mobs.Great videos they help me a lot.
Just started playing yesterday after about an hour of gameplay repeatedly thought to myself “am I missing something?” Then watched some videos and realized, nah this is just the starting pace lmao! But I like it a lot it’s pretty fun.
@@rolanddelasse8585 really the best is just use the pillars, especially if you are solo or with a group that are around the same tech as you are. It's not that bad really, I feel the 3rd boss is much harder than this one. Just need to focus much on ranged then melee. Fire arrows work in a way, but again, if it rains ( half the time it does in my seed) it won't be as effective as you want it to be. Take your time fighting the boss and watch your surroundings. In fact, use the hoe to clear the area and make sure u have a running track around the pillars. Craft a work bench with the necessary cover to help with repairs for a lengthy battle. Hell, in a pinch, you can use wood arrows just so you can finish him off. This tip can be used for all the bosses in the game, I find that it's how you want to approach the fights that matter.
@@RaZeyLWindBladE I fought him with 2 friends and won yesterday, pretty easy as long as you're covered by pillars. Scared about the third boss though lol
When me and my 3 friends tried this, we got him to a quarter HP and then he spam summoned trolls and greylings, we had about 3 trolls and 30 greydwarfs chasing us around so we had to retreat.
You can put the sail up and use your “oars” it’s the first little forward bar. I figured that out the hard way, it’s not super fast but it works better than zig zagging, eventually the wind will shift in your favor.
A note on sailing, the first speed is paddling using the tiller and rudder. You can "sail" into a head wind with this, but on the raft it is so god awful slow. I mean honestly skip the raft entirely, its to slow even with a tail wind and full sail. Really shouldn't be leaving your island before "bronze age" anyways. So just wait and make the Karve as it is massively better than the raft. Its speed is much better even in a head wind and has 4 cargo slots. HP wise the karve was at about 1/2 HP after taking 3-4 attacks from a sea serpent and a little storm dmg.
Don't know if I botched my preparations or if they patched it but the "cheese hole" tactic didn't work for me as the vines and roots could reach down where I was.
Two additional DATA be careful: - at easy mode kill if you don't dig ENOUGH DEEPLY under the stone... he can actually reach you with his feet stumpings and damage you - he actually CAN summon these naughty agressive roots IN YOUR DUG OUT HOLE, next to you... well at least one or two... Personally tested. :)
All you have to do is fight like a true warrior. Stop copying silly guides to make things easier for you. Beat this guy with a bow, and all you have to do is use the 4 pillars as coverage. When he gets close to your pillar, run to the other. When he spawns his roots then run out of its boundaries. Bosses have a pattern.
I got lucky, one of my Elder altars was on an island separated only by a river to my starting island, which is great because I suck at sailing. I just walked all the way there, swam across the river and then set up a portal nearby for easy return for when I died, which I did... 2 times; once by a Troll who invited himself to the party, and once by the Elder itself.)
Tried the camp fire trick, but the developers must have patched it, because the fire pits didn't do anything thing to the tree guy. In fact I had a couple of the tree vine guy spawn underground too.
The underground cheese method doesn't work anymore. The roots can now go below normal ground level and the Elder stomping AOE also hits. Fire arrows are now the way to kill him. Also I nearly gave up when 2 trolls joined him and wrecked me and my attempts at corpse retrieval...
You can also find Burial Chambers in the Black Forest that seem inaccessible because the entrance is covered over by stones. Just use the bronze axe to clear the entrance then go in. I'm not sure if you can get into all the underground burial chambers with obstructed by stone as I've only found one of them blocked this way.
Highly recommend not destroying the greydwarf spawn points and instead just farm the greydwarfs instead. They don’t come back when destroyed and they are an “easy” way to farm supplies and exp
So that digging exploit seems to be patched lol! He was hitting me with his stomps when I was near the hole and some of the roots spawned in the hole with me. Had to get out and fight him with arrows until I ran out, then had to melee him to death which I couldn’t figure out how to block/jump from his stomp attack lol.
When my father and I fought the Elder Boss, I just made a big hole for no reason. And for some reason, The Elder Boss was just in one specific place just chilling. He wouldn't go to us cause we were behind the hole we made. So he was just there. He didn't really move for most of the time. So, it was surprisingly pretty easy. We did go closer and closer. But he was just going forwards and backward at the same spot. We do not really know if the hole was the reason or if the boss was just bugged, glitched, or stuck.
Nobody ever mentions that the crows lead you to caves, their sound gets louder as you draw near and they always hang out close to the burial chambers

If you use bronze to craft some nails you will be given another boat blueprint, this boat goes significantly faster than the raft :)
Wish I had known this before we set sail on that abysmal raft. The boat is so much better. Skip the raft and use the boat 100%

"one is an exploit, the other is legit" In times of rage and anger, an exploit fight is just as serotonin as a legit fight, fact that's how i killed most the trolls i come across, exploiting the terrain.
The vines still got me underground haha
man came in clutch back in the skyrim days and he came in clutch in the valheim days
Amazing how the first boss was so easy and the second one was 10x harder. The game be telling you that the tutorial is over and now you have to face real challenges.
Fr I had maxed everything for first boss and was very disappointed.
Dude that first boss fucked me up, multiple times XD
I killed the 1st boss very early on with the shitty bow, 2nd boss was even easier since he dosn't chase you far from the arena & you can just snipe him from afar.
Had the same feeling after finishing my studies
Melee works well. Parry or block the footstomp then counter. He'll summon those vines every so often you just kill the ones next to you and that's about it.
you can get scrap iron from the black forest dungeons by using a pick axe on the walls apparently. then you can smelt the scrap iron into ingots.
As far as I know you can only get iron as early as the swamps which you need the key from this boss to open.
ancient seeds also drop from brutes and rarely from chests, so if you want to keep a greyling nest as a farm for eyes, and train your skills earlygame, you will also eventually get your seeds. then you already have your eyes for later. Time -saver win win.
Just a tactic I use when fighting any of the so=pawn mobs, I kite them around the spawn node and keep shooting the node until it's gone then I focus on the mobs.Great videos they help me a lot.
Just started playing yesterday after about an hour of gameplay repeatedly thought to myself “am I missing something?” Then watched some videos and realized, nah this is just the starting pace lmao! But I like it a lot it’s pretty fun.
Love your videos. My buddy's server already killed this boss so I'm gonna "yeet" him with your mighty aid!
This game is so cool and it also have a great potential!
forgot i clicked this video to learn absolutely everything about this game before tackling the boss fight
Love those tutorials that never get to the point
Troll armor is less strong than bronze but it doesn’t make you slower (4pieces extra sneaky) also really easy to kill with bow
Everyone's a gangster until the moment you summon the boss... it storms. Bye bye campfires. 😅😏
GOOD POINT !!
Oh shit so this technique cannot be used anymore?
@@rolanddelasse8585 really the best is just use the pillars, especially if you are solo or with a group that are around the same tech as you are. It's not that bad really, I feel the 3rd boss is much harder than this one. Just need to focus much on ranged then melee. Fire arrows work in a way, but again, if it rains ( half the time it does in my seed) it won't be as effective as you want it to be. Take your time fighting the boss and watch your surroundings. In fact, use the hoe to clear the area and make sure u have a running track around the pillars. Craft a work bench with the necessary cover to help with repairs for a lengthy battle. Hell, in a pinch, you can use wood arrows just so you can finish him off. This tip can be used for all the bosses in the game, I find that it's how you want to approach the fights that matter.
@@RaZeyLWindBladE I fought him with 2 friends and won yesterday, pretty easy as long as you're covered by pillars.
Scared about the third boss though lol
@@rolanddelasse8585 Bonemass is a mess. Had to fight him 3 times before being able to get him down.
When me and my 3 friends tried this, we got him to a quarter HP and then he spam summoned trolls and greylings, we had about 3 trolls and 30 greydwarfs chasing us around so we had to retreat.
I "quit" skyrim to play this game and followed you to these as well :) thanks
You can put the sail up and use your “oars” it’s the first little forward bar. I figured that out the hard way, it’s not super fast but it works better than zig zagging, eventually the wind will shift in your favor.
I MISS Skyrim videos 🙃. Really missed them
Your not alone
Just did the boss fight yesterday with some friends. The amount of deforestation that happened from his ranged attack was crazy 😂
Hes the best hired help you can get at chopping some wood just avoid the vine attacks lol.
Thank you!! I needed the easy way I suck at boss fights 😅
A note on sailing, the first speed is paddling using the tiller and rudder. You can "sail" into a head wind with this, but on the raft it is so god awful slow. I mean honestly skip the raft entirely, its to slow even with a tail wind and full sail. Really shouldn't be leaving your island before "bronze age" anyways. So just wait and make the Karve as it is massively better than the raft. Its speed is much better even in a head wind and has 4 cargo slots. HP wise the karve was at about 1/2 HP after taking 3-4 attacks from a sea serpent and a little storm dmg.
Don't know if I botched my preparations or if they patched it but the "cheese hole" tactic didn't work for me as the vines and roots could reach down where I was.
Thanks for the upload my dude
i like a game where thinking and preparation count.
Build a big wooden structure or two near (just other side) the columns. The Elder boss then spends a lot of time attacking THEM, rather than YOU.
Two additional DATA be careful:
- at easy mode kill if you don't dig ENOUGH DEEPLY under the stone... he can actually reach you with his feet stumpings and damage you
- he actually CAN summon these naughty agressive roots IN YOUR DUG OUT HOLE, next to you... well at least one or two...
Personally tested. :)
Don’t know if anyone has told you yet but if you craft bronze nails it gives your the recipe for the next ship. Much faster and better maneuverability
You explain well. Ty
Nice
great video, keep up the great work
you can kill bonemass almost the same way by building in a tree and using frost arrows
Haha gotta love this gane for how creative you can be. We even discussed doing this in our boss run live stream a few days ago!
i remmeber that im pretty sure the guy that made it stole it from you LOL
The back and forth movement to keep the wind in your sails is called "tacking".
Great video as always!
I followed the guide, built the underground hiding spot and died there from his attacks. Whatever allowed it before has been patched
Thanks man. Good to know before I try this. Thank you for your contribution o7
Good info sir
same
All you have to do is fight like a true warrior. Stop copying silly guides to make things easier for you. Beat this guy with a bow, and all you have to do is use the 4 pillars as coverage. When he gets close to your pillar, run to the other. When he spawns his roots then run out of its boundaries. Bosses have a pattern.
real vikings kill the Elder with leather armour, a flint axe, and a crude bow
I tried that yesterday... got him to one shot left and the shamans kept healing him :( eventually my bow broke and I got rekt
@@SuperTheTman bruh those healing Shamas ... Fuck
@@SuperTheTman Real Vikings take 2 bows with them ;)
@@SuperTheTman lmao shaman
real vikings kills it making a tree fall onto them.
Thanks for that cheezy method, I love me some stress free bossing.
ESO looks like the valheim character - respect 👍😃awesome vid - subbed 👍☺️is it me or is valheim the best game ever?
I got lucky, one of my Elder altars was on an island separated only by a river to my starting island, which is great because I suck at sailing. I just walked all the way there, swam across the river and then set up a portal nearby for easy return for when I died, which I did... 2 times; once by a Troll who invited himself to the party, and once by the Elder itself.)
Tried the camp fire trick, but the developers must have patched it, because the fire pits didn't do anything thing to the tree guy. In fact I had a couple of the tree vine guy spawn underground too.
Nice tips!
Useful pieces of advice´!
I was on my way to kill him and was hoping for a water monster, so I go into the ocean and a serpent destroyed me and my poor raft.
So what happened to all your equipment? Were you able to retrieve them?
@@kroove Yea, managed to get close enough to land before it happened.
The underground cheese method doesn't work anymore. The roots can now go below normal ground level and the Elder stomping AOE also hits. Fire arrows are now the way to kill him. Also I nearly gave up when 2 trolls joined him and wrecked me and my attempts at corpse retrieval...
3:30 +1 to letting the creeps run into each other.
You can also find Burial Chambers in the Black Forest that seem inaccessible because the entrance is covered over by stones. Just use the bronze axe to clear the entrance then go in. I'm not sure if you can get into all the underground burial chambers with obstructed by stone as I've only found one of them blocked this way.
Highly recommend not destroying the greydwarf spawn points and instead just farm the greydwarfs instead. They don’t come back when destroyed and they are an “easy” way to farm supplies and exp
its patched the roots can get you underground now
Thanks I needed to know this
Yes thank you, very frustrating i kept thinking I was going it wrong.
And he destroyed the fire r
So that digging exploit seems to be patched lol! He was hitting me with his stomps when I was near the hole and some of the roots spawned in the hole with me. Had to get out and fight him with arrows until I ran out, then had to melee him to death which I couldn’t figure out how to block/jump from his stomp attack lol.
Thank you much! Happy hunting!
Captain No Skill over here thanks you
Just fought him. Pretty easy but a troll coming along in the middle of the fight made things hectic.
When my father and I fought the Elder Boss, I just made a big hole for no reason. And for some reason, The Elder Boss was just in one specific place just chilling. He wouldn't go to us cause we were behind the hole we made. So he was just there. He didn't really move for most of the time. So, it was surprisingly pretty easy. We did go closer and closer. But he was just going forwards and backward at the same spot. We do not really know if the hole was the reason or if the boss was just bugged, glitched, or stuck.
Thanks this helped a lot
Such a good game. thanks for the guides.
