Bonemass and abomination at the same time should not be allowed...

It's just too much. It's impossible to fight them both at the same time. Abonimation appearance / aggro should be disabled when you are fighting bonemass :(

It started with "OMG! I can do this!" but it ended in frustration after dying 5 times... I beat them in the end, but they were more frustrating than fun.

What weapon and food are you using ?
Abomination falls easily with axe and bonemass with a mace

That is why you always must clear the area before engaging a boss fight.
Bonemass at it's own is difficult to fight, and if other mobs from area join, you are doomed.
Anyways, congrats on beating Bonemass!

Congrats on your victory!

I approach bosses a bit differently due to almost always playing perma-death or limited lives these days. First carefully scout the area, take out or suppress any spawns, however abominations are a special case, they will respawn. Prepare the ground to suit your chosen weapons and method of combat. Take special note of high points like fallen logs as you prepare a fall back position or line of retreat for when things go south in a hurry.

Most importantly, don't let others restrict your choices in tactics or strategy.

Yeah, I did that, perhaps not a large enough radius. I mean, making mistakes and learning from them is part of the game, but the problem here is that the mistake is persistent, even if you die they don't despawn, and you'll have to face them together no matter what.

Started with a sword, saw it didn't do any damage to Bonemass, so I retreated and came back with a mace. Then, after the abomination spawned and I died, I came back with both, and ended up killing the abomination first. It took dying several times and was getting a bit frustrating instead of an enjoyable challenge though.

I first completely tamed the swamp, extracted all iron, put workbenches everywhere, had pathways throughout, including a long walled escape route to a BF portal. Then I elevated earthen pillars all around the spawn site, and built an elevated tree fort with comforts, to shoot into the spawn area. Finally, I loaded up my fort with extra supplies including stamina and health potions, and had a meal of serpent stew.

Turns out the pillars were key. I just stood a few feet away from Bonemass, just outside his cage, and AOE'd him (and everything he throw at me) to death. Piece of cake.

Some might say, "That's way too much work!" But I'm in no hurry to win. I simply enjoy living in Valheim.
