The second Valheim boss is a worthy challenge; here’s what you need to know
Hail, brave viking warrior. You’ve arrived bearing the trophy of Eikthyr, the first Valheim boss, after defeating him in glorious battle – and now you’re looking to face the second boss, the notorious Elder. A challenge for a true viking champion. Let us prepare for this great battle – we shall share our knowledge concerning how to summon The Elder, and how to beat The Elder once you’ve woken him from his slumber.
First things first – to get the party started, you must locate The Elder’s summoning stone.

Iron in Valheim explained
Players will start to see the importance of Iron in Valheim after they craft Bronze tools and armour. After beating the first boss Eikthyr, players will receive the means to craft an Antler Pickaxe and with it, they can mine ores.
Found in The Black Forest biome, Tin and Copper are the first resources you can mine. When they are smelted and combined, they produce Bronze. Using a forge, you can melt Bronze to craft powerful weapons, tools and armour.
These items are sturdy and will serve you well up until you defeat the game s second boss The Elder, who is the overlord of The Black Forest biome.
