Did this the other day. Recipe: 4 star padded armor all around. 1-2 fire resistance wine, but likely need one. 2 stamina potions. eat great food, but so long as your health if over 140 you'll be fine. Also, have Frostner and get it fully upgraded, and be sure your club skill is at least 30. Set your power to bonemass, too. Prior to the fight, clear out all squitos and fulings nearby. You don't need distractions. Then spawn him in, fire up bonemass, drink the wine, and go to town on him with Frostner. You'll take next to no damage, just watch your stamina, and back off to let it recharge (or quaff a potion). Rinse, repeat, you'll kill him in 5-7 min. He's the easiest boss imo if you prepare correctly.
I have literally been exploring my map for 2 days only going on land at plains, and I've FINALLY found his altar before I found a vegvisir revealing his location. Such a pain...
Hey firespark,.. there is a way funnier deathskito defens. build a wall arround your base, place a ton of windmils and they die by the windmilblades xD
Worth mentioning, this video came out on Feb 25, and there was a Feb 25 patch which buffed Yagluth (a lot). I don't know exactly when the video was created (rather than 'posted') but the boss "may" be even harder than in the video.
Downed him last night doing face tank. Here's my advice, when he raises his arm to summon the meteors, run towards him/around him until the meteors are done, then start your melee attack. The follow up ability is usually his blue smash. I just took the hit from this everytime (maybe raise your shield on the initial stam) and continued to melee through the fire. Blue smash is the least damaging of his 3 abilities. So melee him through the blue smash attack, save some stamina for the run out. Wait for another meteor summon, run towards, melee, run out. I used the porcupine to melee him, if I had the silver sword or the hammer this video talks about it, I'm sure it would've been a shorter fight. Bow was taking tooooo long. I did have my bow skill at 54, could be higher but got tired of farming bow skill. If you go bow, I guess get skill up high and frost arrows (not cheap to make btw) seemed to do the most damage on him.
I’d love to see a video on how you manage to survive in the Plains biome with only max troll armor - I’ve been thinking of trying to go in there early for a while now!
I just wanted to see the fight to have an idea of what to expect, aside from the harpoon thing that doesn't work anymore, this was helpful as I could actually see the boss' abilities. Thanks Firespark!
Easy kill for me with the following setup: - Frostner lvl 4 - Fire resistance potion - Medium stamina/health potion - Food: Fish wraps, turnip stew, blood pudding (not even BiS food, just what I had) - Any armor (used wolf armor but doesn't matter I think) Basically you want to go in full hp/stamina while he's winding up his ground smash attack. If you are behind him the actual blast won't hit you, the lingering blueish flames will burn you but the damage is actually quite low if you used the fire resistance potion. Keep spamming left-click until either stamina runs out or he uses the meteor attack - definitely dodge that one. Rinse and repeat. If you get too low pop either potion and wait.
Great guide as always! I do think Yagluth is one of the easiest bosses IMO, only requirements for me would be roughly a stack of frost arrows and a Drauger bow. The only 'difficult' part personally for me, was getting the 5 totems and finding him in the first place which was more time consuming than the previous summoning requirements. Was a sad moment finishing this boss battle, until the next update it's pretty much the end game. What an amazing journey and gem of a game I highly recommend a legit play through prior to even touching/thinking about the console commands.
the boss is much harder after todays patch. goodluck using arrows now.. theyre basically rendered useless in this fight as far as ive experienced thismorning.
@@jointx2741 not rendered useless, but now you need like 400-500 frost arrows even with a high bow skill, or a whole lotta silver arrows instead. You can take him for massive damage in melee using frostner or silver sword though. Fire res and good food makes melee work.
Malpheus unless you’re bringing 6 or so bows or just making runs back and forth from your base to repair, basically useless. just grab a frostner/fire resist and you’ll be through the fight a lot faster
Soloed him 2 times, first try was with my Draugr fang shooted 250 ice arrows and broke the bow at 80% of his health down, ran out of potions ,had to finish him with my black metal sword. Took me a full ingame day, 2 fingers of the giant rock hand did colapsed and 9 deathskito, 2 Lox and soo many SCARY1 and 2 star Fulings died in this Fight. Was Epic! Second time .... took me 2 minutes by going full aggro on him with my BM sword lvl4 .... nobody died ... exept for him ....... 2 minutes..... birds were singning All this was made without any use of a pickaxe.
@FireSpark81 Even easier and he wont attack you, high bow skill, needle arrows, iron bow or higher, build on top of the finger. He wont attack at all just patrols slowly away, should be able to bow him down but if he gets too far away just go to the ground and he'll come back.
Frenzy I feel like downloading the cracked version of a game just to use a specific cheese method on the final boss is too much work for the goal. But perhaps someone really really wants to harpoon him
Worked like a charm. My box was 2x4 and 4 deep. He actually spawned in it , though i had him harpooned as he spawned. none-the-less, with a pick, you can dig down to his head level after he bugs out, and just smash him with Frostner. Done!
I just solo'd Yagluth and I have to say the real struggle was picking off hordes of Fulings while kiting him around, keeping an eye out for when one of them would throw a spear. Having a decent health pool and some healing mead was handy. The boss isn't very fast so it's doable but it adds a lot of layers to the fight. Using the draugr bow with frost arrows worked alright but would probably require 600+ arrows and the bow would break before that. I ended up face tanking some abilities because the windows where he doesn't cast abilities is very short and inconsistent. An upgraded black metal axe did decent damage at skill level 50-ish. Love your guides because they're packed with information but breaking bosses is not for me :)
honestly, if u were actively playing the game an not just rushing the bosses, bow and arrows are fine, i killed him with like 60 bow skill - level 4 dragaur fang and like 200 needle arrows in about 5 mins.
@@VioletShinobi i mean all the boss fights are currently pretty boring, they have cool attacks but their AI is severely dumb. It's early access though, i have faith they'll touch them up.
It is kinda sad how few people take the time to master a weapon like the bow. Once you're an archer, you can do "impossible" things like kill Yagluth pretty quickly without risk. I love your point about not rushing the bosses - it makes the game a lot more fun for some.
The harpoon doesn't work on bosses anymore but I was able to use this strategy by kiting him over and the nudging him in the pit. I was able to mine out a ledge just next to him with a rock wall to cover me. I used the Iron Sledge and chipped away. He couldn't find me so he couldn't aggro.
I maxed padded armour, which is basically the cheapest armour outside hide/leather, got the barley-based food and easily murdered yagluth in a melee with blackmetal atgeir. Also had fire resist mead, and the fire did a 1dps, and his general attacks were easy to dodge or just didn't really deal damage. Easiest boss since eikthyr. Note: this was done just before the recent patch, so it might actually be somewhat of a challenge now
Use stam foods, elk buff if you want, run around and shoot him with any arrows from upgraded bow. Hide behind the stone fingers or run wide circles when he uses his skills...avoid melee
I could not do it with a bow because he just takes so little damage and has so much HP I got bored. How long did this take you and what was your bow level?
@@Firespark81 I went at him with the Draugr bow level 3 and had a full stack of Needle Arrows + 200 wood arrows. I did not count the shots but had plenty left over. This was before hp buff but will still work just slower
No mead/potion/rested/poisoned - timer/cooldown by re-entering the world you also get anti-agro frames for 2 seconds (after leaving the world ALL buffs or debufgs are set to 0 seconds and after entering a world you get 1 second invincibility and on top + one second of anti aggro)
For the Furling camps I just use frost arrows at range and pick them off. Single stack of arrows I can easily clear 4 camps, including the berzerkers, usually 2-3 at larger camps.
I killed him today (14/03), using Frostner. I had about 240 health from food, 20 minutes rested from confort level, fire resist potion on (had to take another one during the fight), health and medium stamina potions as well. I did try to use needle arrows, but it either does very little damage or he has a way too big health pool. Like Bonemass it is way faster to just go melee. I kited him around the pillars, baited meteor attack (it just hits the pillars) then rush in and get as many hits as possible, sometimes using the stamina potion if my health was ok, otherwise retreated back behind a pillar until I get my health back, or using a health potion if it was really low. The blue fire aoe is not terrible to tank if you have the fire resist on, and the fire beam most times didn't even hit if I was really close to him. He died as my rested level was about to expire, so it was close to a 20 minute fight. No need for holes or other tricks, just prepare as best as you can and use line of sight. You only get his trophy and some placeholder items as loot, so it may not even be worth killing him right now.
After killing him you get packs of 3 fulings spawning near you at night. His buff help vs Moder if you want to kill her another time to have the trophy in your base.
Still great tips despite the harpoon update keeping him from being dragged. Definitely recommend fully upgrading the weapon(s) you use against him. Also keep in mind that the items he drops aren't implemented yet, and Fulings will start to spawn across the map after he's defeated. I have a few maps I haven't killed him on because of this. That said he was the second most fun boss for me behind Moder. Tough but fun!
Yo, Everyone that came here to fight this guy cheap you cant anymore but dont worry. Idk if this works as well if your with people (idk why not) but i just face tanked this guy solo with a level 4 black metal sword , level 4 padded armor with linen cape so 100 armor. I ate vox meat pie, serpent stew and a fish taco. Brough 4 healing potions(used only 2) and 4 fire resist(used only 2) and 4 medium stamina potions(used 3). I literally walked into him after he called down his meteors, hit him, used stamina potions and hit him again until he died. A 2 star fuling is more dangerous. This fight was too easy. I even uploaded a video showing how easy it was.
easier way to break him. dig around the pedestal as he always spawns on it. he cant move and you can shoot him with bow and hide behind pillar when he summons meteors.
He is not hard using frost arrows or the mosquito fang arrows, while you hide behind the stones. Also, if you get close and he uses the slam attack, you can get hit my it, it does very little damage (if you used the fire resistace potion), and it's the perfect opportunity to use the Frostner against him.
anyone else turn off grass in their settings? It just makes seeing things on the ground easier and could help render performance to get you more frames. I do this in most games.
@@ToddHoward3 - Best reply ever. There are *so* many wussy vikings out there desperate to cheese bosses when fighting them as intended is hands-down the most efficient way of beating them.
@@kaklikful Yeah except the lox has less durability and the linen lacks the frost resist. The wolf cape is, I believe, the best cape in the game as it doesn’t require a full set (like the troll hide cape) and has the frost resist with a higher durability
@@VioletShinobi I suppose but the fact is both have the same armor but only the wolf and the lox let you go into every biome without taking damage (unless it’s raining) just for being there. If we’re looking purely at a “how useful is it when held to every biome” the last two tier capes are worse than the fourth teir cape which is a weird game design decision.
@@DarkBunnyLord The wolf chest piece also provides frost resist. You don’t need the cloak to walk around the mountains and not get cold. You just need the wolf chest. Obviously once you upgrade past that you’ll want the wolf cape though.
I've scoured my main map to the point that close to 75% is visible and I've still not found the tablet to show me where he is. At this point I will probably stumble upon the boss before I find his location tablet. I started another map for farming resources and I found his location tablet within the first 10 hours but GD I am determined to find him on my main map
What you not do, is place a web of campfires to prevent enemy spawn. You get the goblins and mosquitos because of random spawn, he doesn't spawn enemies. The interesting thing is, his breath attack can't damage trees or the stone pillars, but the Meteors can. Also his slam attack does target trees and stone. The "easiest" way to kill him is to abuse terrain. That can be like you dig a tunnel under his spawn in an X style, that way you always have a spot you can retreat and since ure under a "roof" y9ou can build a nice shelter. You can also trap him in many ways, like you show here.
What if a player does not want to die? What if a player spent all their time in bows or swords or axes and has no levels in clubs? What if they don't have the dexterity or the hand eye coordination to go at him head first? What if a player is disabled and the device that they use to game gives them a much slower reaction time? Should they not get to fight him? Should they not be armed with as much info as possible to help them fight him the way they want?
When I found my swamp biome it was right up against a plains biome. Watched as a deathsquito killed two draugr and a group of skeletons. I hoped out of there right quick.
His Buff gives resistance to fire, frost and lighting the game does not mention poison. This cheese seems unreliable and you are just better of killing him the "normal" way as all his attacks and have a long windup, clear visual and audio queues on 2 of his attacks. What would be interesting to test is if his attacks do only do fire damage or if they have a physical portion, in the first case troll armor would be the best together with leather as you don't get the slow and it is easier to dodge the fireballs.
I did the corpse run technique. Die over and over and quickly portal back to get your stuff. The corpse run buff is ridiculously strong for a short period of time and used a black metal sword in his face. Rinse and repeat. One of the bosses I didn’t feel bad cheesing because it’s clearly not balanced well for solo
if it works and that's what you have to do. I would have preferred Frostner to black metal sword as that would be doing far more damage to him, being undead and all.
hahahaha thats digusting! I love it! I suspect a nerf to the abyssal harpoon will be incoming at some point. They'll probably end up making it unusable against bosses. My group of three did it the "proper" way just after the HP buff to Yagluth. Get the person with the lowest dps to tank the boss while the people with the best weapons wail on him from behind. Respect to the people soloing him though! He's a tough boss to take down.
Yea it's super easy with a group. However I'm wonder if the recent buffs actually made him harder. This video was rec after that patch not sure how much harder he hits than before but dude has a ton of hp.
@@Firespark81 If they made him harder with the recent rebalance, he must have been super easy before. All you need to solo him is the frost hammer, some top shelf food and a couple heal & stam potions. Maybe take a bow just so you can keep plugging away while waiting for health regen. You can get behind the pillars much like the elder to avoid both the range attack and the meteors, they break after a while but there's plenty enough of them to last out the battle.
@@boggers yea i solo'ed him with a draugr fang. Did'nt even go melee. around 50 skill points in bow with frost arrows and i did'nt even need a full stack of them.
@@jointx2741 Even needle arrows? I used that during my fight and did a decent amount of damage. My bow skill is 75 and I have Draugr Fang. I need to collect more totems to summon him again tho
Linen just gives armor (1-4) Wolf gives frost resistance and armor (1-4) Lox gives frost resistance and armor (1-4) / durability slightly more comparing to wolf Linen one created and upgraded with linen threads Wolf created with wolf hide and trophey + silver and upgraded with more wolf hide + more silver Lox created with lox pelt + a bit silver and upgraded with just lox pelt in conclusion - Linen is just a colorful fancy cape - Wolf and Lox are the same but Lox one has bit more durability and doesn't require silver for upgrades
@@lfb6087 so... No actual reason to go from Lox to Linen then, it's a downgrade it seems... I prefer it this way because in my opinion the Lox cape is the best looking of the bunch, specially with the padded armor set
I think this method has been fixed. I tried and tried to Harpoon him and was not able to in my fight. I ended up having to tank him down until I lucked out. He damaged one of the fingers in his altar into a cave. Once he lost sight of me, like Modor he kinda just stood next to where I was and didn't do anymore attacks, at that point I was able to Iron Sledge him down. May need to revisit or update this video.
we killed Yagluth two players in under one minute just smashing him with frostnir he got a single attack phase in took total of 40 damage i think with fire resistance potion on.
yea everything in this game is way easier with more people. The game is designed that way. I imagine 2 people with frostners, good food and fire resist wine would bring him down super fast.
@@jameswhite1910 I've been sandbagging myself and staying safely in my plains base having only just gotten my bows to 100. First few Gjall's I've seen on the periphery of the Mistlands just melted before they got to me but I'm still terrified of dying and losing all those hard fought levels! lol
@@Rhacman With 100 Bows and your Fenris armor with frost arrows, you'll murder the Mistlands. Key for an archer is keep moving and pull them to your chosen battle location. Frost is super handy on the bugs; keeps them slow and manageable. Keep a blade handy for the ticks that might get attached and you're fine.
I'd be surprised if its even possible to beat him solo now, god knows I've tried. I was able to dig a large trench around the spawn area which keeps him in the middle but while I could safely shoot him from a distance, without him getting aggro, his health regens too quickly. I'd shoot him 3 or 4 times (best bow and frost arrows) but my stamina would completely empty and his health would regen. I was using a mix of food (Lox Pie, Bread and Guck Shake I think) so about 170 stamina. Maybe with using Eyescream, Bread and Blood Pudding, 260 stamina helps. With 2 people firing bows in this manner it would be insanely easy. Same with Moeder, seems impossible to solo. Bonemass was easy, build a tower to shoot down from.
Well I didn't do the trench, because when I tried that of course I kept falling into it myself and getting stuck. So I built a wall. Raised earth in a straight line, mobs in the game cannot damage that. I kited him around the wall. Yes it sucked, but eh, I see no other way. I used bloodpudding I think, loxmeat pie and seaserpent pie or whatever it is and I had plenty of stamina. That said, I also farmed my bow skill up to nearly 100 on Bonemass by simply shooting him full of wood arrows ad nauseum for a morning or two using the base attached up on a tree method. The difference between say 30 bow skill and 100 against yagluth with frost arrows and draugr fang lvl 4 is the difference between doing 28-30 a shot and doing 66-70 a shot. He went down rather fast as soon as I could control the kiting around a wall section. Any other method I could think of on getting close to him would just get a solo player obliterated. Fire res pots/medium heal pots/stamina or tasty mead as well. I don't see taking him down solo in melee unless you are one of those 1% of the 1% kind of players that they set the difficulty in these games for.
A recent patch must have made him able to hit you with meteors while under the alter... Harpoon no longer works. I have died 8 times and all my stuff is in the bottom of the pit I tried to get him into. LOL Now I get to make new gear to try getting my freakin gear. Argh! They broke this for solo players. It is almost impossible to damage him faster than he regains... WTF.. Hit damage to you seems to be much higher now too. I have beaten him several times before, but on a new playthrough for mistlands, he is kicking me to the dirt every time I face him.
LOL. Yeah, he's rough. But he CAN be soloed - without any cheats - but it is a multi-day battle. I did it with the black metal sword and Fenris armor (for agility). Fire potions are your best friend. The system is to wait for meteors, run away. Then come toward him and he'll laser you. Stay moving TOWARD him while skirting the laser (you close the gap too fast for him to target you). You'll get super close and then his fist comes up for a AOE slam - keep running past him and he misses you entirely. Turn, hit for a 1-2-3 then keep running as the meteors come down again. Jog a bit to regen stamina/health and do it again. Do this about 80,000 times and he dies. So yeah, Yagluth is brutal solo.
just fight with him in water, try to block his slam atack (if you block you do not take lighting damage), fire damage will eat water buff. i will strongly NOT recomend Fenris armor. Beter use fire potions. Ez fight (Frrostner and blackmetal shield will hlp you)
Note that Ai is alergic to the building near you. So in theory you could build a small shack with inactive portal next to hole and boss would fall in it by himself.
For some reason i built the artisan table and the blast furnace but I don’t have the option to build the spinning wheel, does it only come up if you are in the plains biome or are you able to build it anywhere?
@@shooky1092 Oh my b. Have you obtained all the pieces to make it? It needs fine wood, iron nails, and leather scraps. Just put these in your inventory and the recipe should unlock
Was the same for me until I maxed out padded armor. Gotta eat a lot of food that requires barley flour too, and if I'm attacking a village/fort, I have to turn on Bonemass's power
@@fe4rfornothing152 I'd be patient. Try to get the linen and barley and farm it for a bit (sneak into a village, get a few and run away), and get enough iron. Then craft the full gear set and upgrade it a bit. That should let you strong enough to take out some lox, which then should let you start producing lox meat pie and other end game foods. Use those and finish upgrading frostner and/or other end game items, and finish upgrading the padded armor. You should then be able to take out the final boss solo and take on fulling encampments.
get you the silver armor yo. if you can get the flax and do padded, that'll be best, but with the wolf armor you have a lot less instant death. I had the same issue when I skipped bronze armor all the way to the swamp bc I didn't like the slow.
Right about now is the time to learn to parry. Suddenly you are invulnerable to spear-chuckers. Also tough for them to hit you if you move. But yeah, if you stand and trade blows, they'll get ya.

Worked like a charm. My box was 2x4 and 4 deep. He actually spawned in it , though i had him harpooned as he spawned. none-the-less, with a pick, you can dig down to his head level after he bugs out, and just smash him with Frostner. Done!

Using the draugr bow with frost arrows worked alright but would probably require 600+ arrows and the bow would break before that. I ended up face tanking some abilities because the windows where he doesn't cast abilities is very short and inconsistent. An upgraded black metal axe did decent damage at skill level 50-ish.
Love your guides because they're packed with information but breaking bosses is not for me :)
Get fire resistant wine and frostner. Easy fight.
It's rather poetical that you'd dig a grave for an undead boss.
@Patrick Taylor Why would you...
Excellent vid, even on second watch months later. Consistently good stuff. Thanks.
honestly, if u were actively playing the game an not just rushing the bosses, bow and arrows are fine, i killed him with like 60 bow skill - level 4 dragaur fang and like 200 needle arrows in about 5 mins.
Totally possible... just suuuuuuuuper boring
@@VioletShinobi i mean all the boss fights are currently pretty boring, they have cool attacks but their AI is severely dumb.
It's early access though, i have faith they'll touch them up.
@@taylornox I feel the same way about the current bosses. Because it's early access, i'm hopeful the game will gain more depth over time.
@@karnijj1 After the first two bosses. Everything became a cake walk
It is kinda sad how few people take the time to master a weapon like the bow. Once you're an archer, you can do "impossible" things like kill Yagluth pretty quickly without risk. I love your point about not rushing the bosses - it makes the game a lot more fun for some.
Always look forward to your videos
Glad you like them!
Trapping him on an island with a wall on one side worked for me.
The harpoon doesn't work on bosses anymore but I was able to use this strategy by kiting him over and the nudging him in the pit. I was able to mine out a ledge just next to him with a rock wall to cover me. I used the Iron Sledge and chipped away. He couldn't find me so he couldn't aggro.
I maxed padded armour, which is basically the cheapest armour outside hide/leather, got the barley-based food and easily murdered yagluth in a melee with blackmetal atgeir. Also had fire resist mead, and the fire did a 1dps, and his general attacks were easy to dodge or just didn't really deal damage. Easiest boss since eikthyr.
Note: this was done just before the recent patch, so it might actually be somewhat of a challenge now
Looks like Frostner is the go to weapon here. The sledge was a joke in comparison.
Happy to say that I watched all your how to break the bosses episodes but didn't ever use it
100% me hahah
Kinda op tbh bcs we can harpoon any mobs including the bosses. Maybe they'll somehow patch something like this in the future.
We defeated Yagluth in 10 seconds without hitting him, with 200 2 star wolves lmao
Definitely recommend fire resistance mead
I just realised that my server community's pace with the bosses is dictated by when your boss videos come out.
Well, boss #5 here we go!
Good health-increasing food + fire resistance mead + Bonemass's power absolutely trivializes Yagluth.
Use stam foods, elk buff if you want, run around and shoot him with any arrows from upgraded bow. Hide behind the stone fingers or run wide circles when he uses his skills...avoid melee
I could not do it with a bow because he just takes so little damage and has so much HP I got bored. How long did this take you and what was your bow level?
@@Firespark81 I went at him with the Draugr bow level 3 and had a full stack of Needle Arrows + 200 wood arrows. I did not count the shots but had plenty left over. This was before hp buff but will still work just slower
No mead/potion/rested/poisoned - timer/cooldown by re-entering the world you also get anti-agro frames for 2 seconds (after leaving the world ALL buffs or debufgs are set to 0 seconds and after entering a world you get 1 second invincibility and on top + one second of anti aggro)
I tried hin yesterday in CC and failed miserably. Now i have my Frost arrows ready, i'll give k another try tomorrow. Hes regen is kinda sick now
harpoon doesnt work on bosses now.
thank you sooo much for not misspelling chitin
12:43 Commence playing Korn - Right now in the background: "It's crawling after you?"
Seems like he is weak to blunt, frost and spirit damage. Frostner seems like the obvious choice with likely silver arrows as a side weapon.
raising the ground to allow you to break line of sight is super helpful too
i was waiting for this! thankss
*THE HARPOON METHOD NO LONGER WORKS.* All bosses have since gotten a buff which makes them immune to being harpooned.
Thanks for the videos very helpful!
It looks like you don't know about Fire resist mead.
Also Frost arrows do the job just as well as silvers and are much cheaper.
didnt he mention the fire resistance wine?
For the Furling camps I just use frost arrows at range and pick them off. Single stack of arrows I can easily clear 4 camps, including the berzerkers, usually 2-3 at larger camps.
fire always breaking games love it
I killed him today (14/03), using Frostner. I had about 240 health from food, 20 minutes rested from confort level, fire resist potion on (had to take another one during the fight), health and medium stamina potions as well.
I did try to use needle arrows, but it either does very little damage or he has a way too big health pool. Like Bonemass it is way faster to just go melee.
I kited him around the pillars, baited meteor attack (it just hits the pillars) then rush in and get as many hits as possible, sometimes using the stamina potion if my health was ok, otherwise retreated back behind a pillar until I get my health back, or using a health potion if it was really low.
The blue fire aoe is not terrible to tank if you have the fire resist on, and the fire beam most times didn't even hit if I was really close to him.
He died as my rested level was about to expire, so it was close to a 20 minute fight. No need for holes or other tricks, just prepare as best as you can and use line of sight.
You only get his trophy and some placeholder items as loot, so it may not even be worth killing him right now.
After killing him you get packs of 3 fulings spawning near you at night. His buff help vs Moder if you want to kill her another time to have the trophy in your base.
@@Schuhmiball I get packs of 3 fuling every night, and have not killed him. My base is in the plains.
Since Hearth and Home you cannot harpoon him :(
Still great tips despite the harpoon update keeping him from being dragged. Definitely recommend fully upgrading the weapon(s) you use against him.
Also keep in mind that the items he drops aren't implemented yet, and Fulings will start to spawn across the map after he's defeated. I have a few maps I haven't killed him on because of this.
That said he was the second most fun boss for me behind Moder. Tough but fun!
Yo, Everyone that came here to fight this guy cheap you cant anymore but dont worry. Idk if this works as well if your with people (idk why not) but i just face tanked this guy solo with a level 4 black metal sword , level 4 padded armor with linen cape so 100 armor. I ate vox meat pie, serpent stew and a fish taco. Brough 4 healing potions(used only 2) and 4 fire resist(used only 2) and 4 medium stamina potions(used 3). I literally walked into him after he called down his meteors, hit him, used stamina potions and hit him again until he died. A 2 star fuling is more dangerous. This fight was too easy. I even uploaded a video showing how easy it was.
Can't harpoon bosses anymore.
i love the videos , its just im so impatient i can only watch them after tweaking the run speed to 1.5 lol
easier way to break him. dig around the pedestal as he always spawns on it. he cant move and you can shoot him with bow and hide behind pillar when he summons meteors.
It looks like his left hand is meteors and his right hand is the slam.
is this including any of the balance changes they did to him 12 hours ago?
Apparently he recorded this just after that patch!
Good stuff man.
you could also build a sorta fire pit into the dtch u digged lol, or harpoon random enemys into it aswell in hopes they attack him :D
He is not hard using frost arrows or the mosquito fang arrows, while you hide behind the stones. Also, if you get close and he uses the slam attack, you can get hit my it, it does very little damage (if you used the fire resistace potion), and it's the perfect opportunity to use the Frostner against him.
Dude how did you build that globe?
anyone else turn off grass in their settings? It just makes seeing things on the ground easier and could help render performance to get you more frames. I do this in most games.
yes, i did too
I don’t need more frames in this game lmfao
Video idea best weapons for each stages of the game?
You can make a lot of furniture after that fight.
So how do we beat him now that we cannot use harpoons?
Beat it legitimately
@@ToddHoward3 - Best reply ever. There are *so* many wussy vikings out there desperate to cheese bosses when fighting them as intended is hands-down the most efficient way of beating them.
I don’t get why you would wear the linen cape it’s like the wolf cape but just worse without the frost resist
Since all capes have the same armor value, its up to taste if you wanna wear wolf, lox or linen
@@kaklikful Yeah except the lox has less durability and the linen lacks the frost resist. The wolf cape is, I believe, the best cape in the game as it doesn’t require a full set (like the troll hide cape) and has the frost resist with a higher durability
@@DarkBunnyLord If you aren't going to be dealing with cold then its just a matter of taste.
@@VioletShinobi I suppose but the fact is both have the same armor but only the wolf and the lox let you go into every biome without taking damage (unless it’s raining) just for being there. If we’re looking purely at a “how useful is it when held to every biome” the last two tier capes are worse than the fourth teir cape which is a weird game design decision.
@@DarkBunnyLord The wolf chest piece also provides frost resist. You don’t need the cloak to walk around the mountains and not get cold. You just need the wolf chest. Obviously once you upgrade past that you’ll want the wolf cape though.
So I tried this the harpoon bounced off his head and I upgraded my level in spears, but it failed to stay attached or pull him into the hole, sadly!
I've scoured my main map to the point that close to 75% is visible and I've still not found the tablet to show me where he is. At this point I will probably stumble upon the boss before I find his location tablet.
I started another map for farming resources and I found his location tablet within the first 10 hours but GD I am determined to find him on my main map
you probably didnt find it because you were asleep lol
What does he drop just his head?
And some cube things
his trophy and a placeholder item called "Yagluth thing"...
Thanks fellas
What you not do, is place a web of campfires to prevent enemy spawn. You get the goblins and mosquitos because of random spawn, he doesn't spawn enemies. The interesting thing is, his breath attack can't damage trees or the stone pillars, but the Meteors can. Also his slam attack does target trees and stone. The "easiest" way to kill him is to abuse terrain. That can be like you dig a tunnel under his spawn in an X style, that way you always have a spot you can retreat and since ure under a "roof" y9ou can build a nice shelter. You can also trap him in many ways, like you show here.
My Yagluth spawned about 1 foot above sea level - no digging was possible. Made for a tough fight for sure.
he didn't summon adds, they came out at night time
Yup. In a long fight, that's huge. Suddenly you have five fulings on you...
maybe fire resistance potions should also be used, since all his attacks do fire dmg
That would be why I suggest that in the video lmao
@@Firespark81 oh, whoops. missed that part lol
Dude just use Frostner. Drink the fire resistance mead and go head in first. You can do some good damage before actually dying like that.
ya that's what i was saying can kill him soooooo fast with frostnir
What if a player does not want to die? What if a player spent all their time in bows or swords or axes and has no levels in clubs? What if they don't have the dexterity or the hand eye coordination to go at him head first? What if a player is disabled and the device that they use to game gives them a much slower reaction time? Should they not get to fight him? Should they not be armed with as much info as possible to help them fight him the way they want?
@@Firespark81 I’m glad you clarified this method is for disabled either way you can’t get to Vahalla with this method
When I found my swamp biome it was right up against a plains biome. Watched as a deathsquito killed two draugr and a group of skeletons. I hoped out of there right quick.
His Buff gives resistance to fire, frost and lighting the game does not mention poison. This cheese seems unreliable and you are just better of killing him the "normal" way as all his attacks and have a long windup, clear visual and audio queues on 2 of his attacks. What would be interesting to test is if his attacks do only do fire damage or if they have a physical portion, in the first case troll armor would be the best together with leather as you don't get the slow and it is easier to dodge the fireballs.
I did the corpse run technique. Die over and over and quickly portal back to get your stuff. The corpse run buff is ridiculously strong for a short period of time and used a black metal sword in his face. Rinse and repeat. One of the bosses I didn’t feel bad cheesing because it’s clearly not balanced well for solo
if it works and that's what you have to do. I would have preferred Frostner to black metal sword as that would be doing far more damage to him, being undead and all.
hahahaha thats digusting! I love it! I suspect a nerf to the abyssal harpoon will be incoming at some point. They'll probably end up making it unusable against bosses. My group of three did it the "proper" way just after the HP buff to Yagluth. Get the person with the lowest dps to tank the boss while the people with the best weapons wail on him from behind. Respect to the people soloing him though! He's a tough boss to take down.
Yea it's super easy with a group. However I'm wonder if the recent buffs actually made him harder. This video was rec after that patch not sure how much harder he hits than before but dude has a ton of hp.
@@Firespark81 If they made him harder with the recent rebalance, he must have been super easy before. All you need to solo him is the frost hammer, some top shelf food and a couple heal & stam potions. Maybe take a bow just so you can keep plugging away while waiting for health regen. You can get behind the pillars much like the elder to avoid both the range attack and the meteors, they break after a while but there's plenty enough of them to last out the battle.
@@boggers yea i solo'ed him with a draugr fang. Did'nt even go melee. around 50 skill points in bow with frost arrows and i did'nt even need a full stack of them.
@@sKIapptNet before the rebalance right? I put maybe 50 frost arrows in him with draugr fang and it did very little damage.
@@boggers Yes, that was one day before the update
Before he realises that there was a patch today making bonemass, moder, and yagluth much harder 😅
Fr? I just beat Yagluth yesterday. I'll have to give it another go to see the difference
@@noodleswut5720 pretty sure they just buffed HP and dmg slightly.
@@noodleswut5720 He said "There was a Patch today" and you answered "I beat him yesterday... " see the pointless comment?
yup, arrows are useless now. did it a few hours ago & if i didnt have a frostner sitting around, i wouldnt of won that fight.
@@jointx2741 Even needle arrows? I used that during my fight and did a decent amount of damage. My bow skill is 75 and I have Draugr Fang. I need to collect more totems to summon him again tho
Love the vid :)
Great strategy. You used all in game tools to defeat him.
In god mode. He also gives pretty bad advice throughout
@@Mermiam - Agreed. This is just a bad video all-around. The harpoon cheese strat he spends the most time explaining doesn't even work anymore. LOL
I see the hole was four walls high and one wide but how many long?
Is this pre patch?
Yes it looks that way, what I have heard the "Digging holes" "work around" has been patched :)
Thanks Sparky
Does Linen cape protects against cold? Also, what's the advantage between Wolf, Lox and Linen cape? The progression on those doesn't seem clear to me
Linen just gives armor (1-4)
Wolf gives frost resistance and armor (1-4)
Lox gives frost resistance and armor (1-4) / durability slightly more comparing to wolf
Linen one created and upgraded with linen threads
Wolf created with wolf hide and trophey + silver and upgraded with more wolf hide + more silver
Lox created with lox pelt + a bit silver and upgraded with just lox pelt
in conclusion
- Linen is just a colorful fancy cape
- Wolf and Lox are the same but Lox one has bit more durability and doesn't require silver for upgrades
@@lfb6087 so... No actual reason to go from Lox to Linen then, it's a downgrade it seems... I prefer it this way because in my opinion the Lox cape is the best looking of the bunch, specially with the padded armor set
@@matheusmterra - Indeed. The linen cape needs some kind of a buff to justify it being a (current) end-game item.
I think this method has been fixed. I tried and tried to Harpoon him and was not able to in my fight. I ended up having to tank him down until I lucked out. He damaged one of the fingers in his altar into a cave. Once he lost sight of me, like Modor he kinda just stood next to where I was and didn't do anymore attacks, at that point I was able to Iron Sledge him down. May need to revisit or update this video.
Check out my updated guide on how to beat him easily.
we killed Yagluth two players in under one minute just smashing him with frostnir he got a single attack phase in took total of 40 damage i think with fire resistance potion on.
yea everything in this game is way easier with more people. The game is designed that way. I imagine 2 people with frostners, good food and fire resist wine would bring him down super fast.
Thanks bro!
Excellent 👍
I wonder if u can kill him with fall dmg.
Probably not. But even so, good luck getting a boss to fall off a cliff, especially now that the harpoon no longer works on them.
frost arrow does like 80 dmg per hit.. better than silver arrows (i have 95 bow tho...)
yep, idk why he didnt think about it, since yagluth is weak to frost. gets tons of dmg that way
check that again.. they nerfed the damage from arrows on all bosses. thats what teh patch did
20:35 Looks like a bow training opportunity!
My thoughts exactly. Once you hit Mistlands, you'll want all the bow experience you can get.
@@jameswhite1910 I've been sandbagging myself and staying safely in my plains base having only just gotten my bows to 100. First few Gjall's I've seen on the periphery of the Mistlands just melted before they got to me but I'm still terrified of dying and losing all those hard fought levels! lol
@@Rhacman With 100 Bows and your Fenris armor with frost arrows, you'll murder the Mistlands. Key for an archer is keep moving and pull them to your chosen battle location. Frost is super handy on the bugs; keeps them slow and manageable. Keep a blade handy for the ticks that might get attached and you're fine.
I'd be surprised if its even possible to beat him solo now, god knows I've tried. I was able to dig a large trench around the spawn area which keeps him in the middle but while I could safely shoot him from a distance, without him getting aggro, his health regens too quickly. I'd shoot him 3 or 4 times (best bow and frost arrows) but my stamina would completely empty and his health would regen. I was using a mix of food (Lox Pie, Bread and Guck Shake I think) so about 170 stamina. Maybe with using Eyescream, Bread and Blood Pudding, 260 stamina helps. With 2 people firing bows in this manner it would be insanely easy. Same with Moeder, seems impossible to solo. Bonemass was easy, build a tower to shoot down from.
Well I didn't do the trench, because when I tried that of course I kept falling into it myself and getting stuck. So I built a wall. Raised earth in a straight line, mobs in the game cannot damage that. I kited him around the wall. Yes it sucked, but eh, I see no other way. I used bloodpudding I think, loxmeat pie and seaserpent pie or whatever it is and I had plenty of stamina. That said, I also farmed my bow skill up to nearly 100 on Bonemass by simply shooting him full of wood arrows ad nauseum for a morning or two using the base attached up on a tree method. The difference between say 30 bow skill and 100 against yagluth with frost arrows and draugr fang lvl 4 is the difference between doing 28-30 a shot and doing 66-70 a shot. He went down rather fast as soon as I could control the kiting around a wall section. Any other method I could think of on getting close to him would just get a solo player obliterated. Fire res pots/medium heal pots/stamina or tasty mead as well. I don't see taking him down solo in melee unless you are one of those 1% of the 1% kind of players that they set the difficulty in these games for.
LOL. It is possible without cheats or terrain modification. It is just brutally difficult and takes forever.
A recent patch must have made him able to hit you with meteors while under the alter... Harpoon no longer works. I have died 8 times and all my stuff is in the bottom of the pit I tried to get him into. LOL
Now I get to make new gear to try getting my freakin gear. Argh! They broke this for solo players. It is almost impossible to damage him faster than he regains... WTF.. Hit damage to you seems to be much higher now too.
I have beaten him several times before, but on a new playthrough for mistlands, he is kicking me to the dirt every time I face him.
LOL. Yeah, he's rough. But he CAN be soloed - without any cheats - but it is a multi-day battle. I did it with the black metal sword and Fenris armor (for agility). Fire potions are your best friend.
The system is to wait for meteors, run away. Then come toward him and he'll laser you. Stay moving TOWARD him while skirting the laser (you close the gap too fast for him to target you). You'll get super close and then his fist comes up for a AOE slam - keep running past him and he misses you entirely. Turn, hit for a 1-2-3 then keep running as the meteors come down again. Jog a bit to regen stamina/health and do it again. Do this about 80,000 times and he dies.
So yeah, Yagluth is brutal solo.
I just soloed him last night. Died only once. What armor/ tactics you using?
Frostner with special attack should do big damage to him
just fight with him in water, try to block his slam atack (if you block you do not take lighting damage), fire damage will eat water buff. i will strongly NOT recomend Fenris armor. Beter use fire potions. Ez fight (Frrostner and blackmetal shield will hlp you)
@@theskyrees I like your "just do this" advise that requires special conditions in a randomly generated world. Noice.
Note that Ai is alergic to the building near you. So in theory you could build a small shack with inactive portal next to hole and boss would fall in it by himself.
Interesting idea.
For some reason i built the artisan table and the blast furnace but I don’t have the option to build the spinning wheel, does it only come up if you are in the plains biome or are you able to build it anywhere?
You can build it anywhere
@@xRedivivus it must be bugged then, it doesn’t pop up in any crafting menu but the blast furnace does
The spinning wheel is made on the stone cutter
@@noodleswut5720 that’s the grinding wheel
@@shooky1092 Oh my b. Have you obtained all the pieces to make it? It needs fine wood, iron nails, and leather scraps. Just put these in your inventory and the recipe should unlock
I struggle hard in Plains, spear goblins just are to though? I have max iron armor max round black metal shield, but those spears just chug through me
Was the same for me until I maxed out padded armor. Gotta eat a lot of food that requires barley flour too, and if I'm attacking a village/fort, I have to turn on Bonemass's power
@@arthurzhang6580 what weapon would best? i cannot make frostner or so, but silver weapons, use shield? or just wield like a maniac?
@@fe4rfornothing152 I'd be patient. Try to get the linen and barley and farm it for a bit (sneak into a village, get a few and run away), and get enough iron. Then craft the full gear set and upgrade it a bit. That should let you strong enough to take out some lox, which then should let you start producing lox meat pie and other end game foods. Use those and finish upgrading frostner and/or other end game items, and finish upgrading the padded armor. You should then be able to take out the final boss solo and take on fulling encampments.
get you the silver armor yo. if you can get the flax and do padded, that'll be best, but with the wolf armor you have a lot less instant death. I had the same issue when I skipped bronze armor all the way to the swamp bc I didn't like the slow.
Right about now is the time to learn to parry. Suddenly you are invulnerable to spear-chuckers. Also tough for them to hit you if you move. But yeah, if you stand and trade blows, they'll get ya.
It took me around half a stack of frost arrows first time I liked him with my friend, frost were more effective for damage aswell
Skill in bows matters. Had you shot him with silver you would have done even more because you would have burned him for more.
I will try this next time XD
I realized that he couldnt break the birch when he did the breat attack on you maybe there is a strat with that
8 years old and shot, still able to play dead while being kicked by a soldier. That is the toughest person I've ever heard of

@@imslightlybaked4575 im guessing he wrote this comment on another vid and posted it and while its still was loading he clickt this vid so the comment landed on this. happend to me once
Yagluth kinda reminds me of Ivar the boneless. Is a king, no legs just crawls on his hands in a viking game.
or mby im just tripping
I agree
