Hardest trophy to get?
Still no Sea Serpant and no Berserker here... what was the most difficult for some of my fellow explorers out there in Valheim?
Also, tips on my last two are appreciated!

I played the game through twice fully and found Bonemass to be the most difficult, even more so after one of the updates where arrows ended up doing less damage to him. Also, getting hunted by the wolves when that event is triggered is usually my "oh crap" moment. Learning how to use food and potions more effectively earlier probably would have helped a little bit, but just a little. Berserker trophies can take awhile to get because the drop percentage is really low...like 5% chance of happening. Hunting Sea Serpents...I generally don't go after them but it does seem like I run into them in the ocean biome when its at night and raining more often than any other time. I actually felt like fighting the 1st, 4th and 5th boss were fun than the 2nd and 3rd bosses. 3rd boss took alot of prep time as I decided that re-landscaping the swamp area by hand was the only way I was going to kill him solo - and it worked.

I have probably farmed 40-50 Draugr Elite (some even being 1 or 2 star draugr) and I still haven't come across a single trophy.

Surprising that you haven't had a sea serpent trophy yet though, I hear the drop rate is something like 1/3. Make sure you're killing the serpents on land as the trophies sink to the bottom of the ocean like the scales do.

You can post up in a tree with 2 finewood bows or a Draugr Fang and workbench and just let loose with around 150 frost arrows if Bonemass gives you trouble.

The green skeleton trophy has been the hardest so far for me to get, only got one so far, 500+ hours.

Interesting. I don't really go up into the mountains to get the resources to build frost arrows until after killing Bonemass. I have gone up there to get obsidian but not long enough to fight a Drake for it's resource. Hmm, I haven't played in several weeks, my guess is that you can make the potion to keep from freezing earlier than I'm thinking atm. I'll check it out next play-through, thx!

Possess honey, thistle, bloodbag and greydwarf eye and you'll see!

Oh, man, that is sad. So easy to get! I gave up on arrows with Bonemass because he just regenerated so quickly from them but I never tried the frost arrows on him....lol

I never did the frost arrow thing, just a L4 iron mace, banded shield and poison resist potion. Parry the well telegraphed swipes and wail on him while he pukes poison on ya. Didn't even need a healing pot...

Ah...and that one. Do the skele attack events still even happen when your at end game?
Thanks for the tips all!

The draugr elite trophy took for ever for me too. I found a spawner and just murdered everything that spawned until I got one.

sea Serpent trophies sink IIRCC.

You have to use an Abyssal Harpoon to pull them onto land or even just lure them into shallow water.

I've had the serpent trophy drop when I killed them on land so many times I started throwing them into the obliterator. One can only put so many serpent heads on one's fortress before it starts to look a little tacky :/

Good hunting o/

Green Skeleton/ Sea Serpent/Wraith trophies I've only gotten one of ever. The hardest trophy to get for me was Yagluth...jeez! Die already!

The Wraith trophy was the toughest for me. Over 1500 hours in game before I got one.

Sea Serpent you can get on the boat solo.

You just have to stand on the end bit and shoot the last shot into the serpent as it is about to bite the boat. The trophy pops up and you can catch it before it sinks. Takes a little practice but I can get them all the time now.

I think the only trophy I never got was the stone golem one. Normally just drop them in holes but now that the crystals make walls I've started killing them. Probably get one soon.
