The Yagluth Valheim boss is the fifth and (at least for now) final boss battle you must face. This creepy skeleton rules over the Plains Biome, which doesn’t have the highest survival chances to begin with. Brace yourself for a tough fight.
But not to worry; we’ve got some combat tips to help you defeat Yagluth, plus all the info on how to find and summon him (involving the Fuling Totems). If you don’t want to explore the Plains for too long, you can even use the world seed and Yagluth location map below.

Where to find the Valheim Yagluth location
You’ve probably done a lot of world exploration by now, so there’s a good chance you’ve already encountered the Plains biome. Otherwise, just start sailing (using Moder’s Forsaken Power) until you see a brownish landmass with only a few trees. This is where you need to be to find Yagluth’s vegvisir, or location runestone.
Unlike the previous bosses, Yagluth’s location is quite easy to spot from afar. As you can see in the picture, his altar is surrounded by very large rocks in the shape of a hand.
How to get Fuling Totems to summon Yagluth
Knowing Yagluth’s location is not enough, you also need some items to summon him. Yagluth will spawn after you place 5 Fuling Totems at his sacrificial altar. Fulings are the green, goblin-like creatures you can find everywhere in the Plains biome. Enter their camps to find the Totems. Note that you don’t need to defeat every Fuling to get it; just entering the camp, grabbing it and running away will suffice.
How to find Yagluth and the Fuling Totems easily – use this World Seed
Ready to face Yagluth but don’t want to spend a lot of time searching for him? Then you can use this World Seed: RtE9ytMifX. You can see Yagluth’s location in the picture.
As you can see, the Plains are quite large on this map. You will find a few Fuling encampments surrounding Yagluth’s altar, so pay them a visit if you’re looking for more Fuling Totems.
How to defeat the Valheim Yagluth boss
Yagluth’s melee attack is a fist slam with a small area of effect. His larger area of effect attack creates a meteor shower, which you can avoid by running away or seeking shelter beneath the rocks surrounding the sacrificial altar. Be sure to keep an eye on his fists; the blue glow means the melee attack is incoming, and the orange glow announces the meteor shower. Finally, as his ranged attack, Yagluth breathes fire. Beware of its large reach!
On the bright side though, Yagluth moves very slowly (he has no legs, after all). So if you keep your distance, you should be able to outrun his attacks. It’s a good idea to craft the best Valheim bow, the Draugr Fang, as well as a large stack of needle arrows. You should also consider crafting Padded Armor before starting this fight.
The Yagluth Forsaken Power in Valheim
Thanks to Bonemass, you already got the Forsaken ability to decrease physical damage. Once you defeat Yagluth, you will also gain the Forsaken Power to decrease all elemental damage. You will be far better protected against fire damage, poison damage, and frost damage. Very useful when exploring the Swamp, Mountains, and Plains!
To activate this power, you need to bring Yagluth’s Trophy to the starting location and place it on the altar. The Trophy is currently the only item dropped by Yagluth.
You are pretty much the Viking God of Valheim by now, congratulations! Remember to keep an eye out for updates bringing new bosses and biomes. And in the meantime, let’s build a few more Viking villages!
