Yagluth is too OP for solo runs

[Burnout Barry]

I have max everything with Frostner. The buffs don't matter, the fire potions don't matter, there's just simply not enough stamina to compete with him solo. It's not fun at all. I've had to go back to base 5 times to repair and by the time I get back all the damage I've done is restored. I've gone through 3 Fire Potions and 9, yes 9 stamina potions because with the best stamina food there's simply not enough to evade his attacks and attack him (he has no cool down from his meteor storm to his fire breath, meaning that 30 second long attack combo of his depletes all your stamina since you can't block or parry). I've even tried running Eikthyr, it helps, but only for 5 minutes then it's over.

I appreciate a challenge, but not everyone of us is a sweaty try hard. This is just stupid.

I just had the Frostner, 10 Fire Resistance Wines, Draugr Fang + 465 Frost Arrows, a maxed out Padded Armor set + Wolf Cape, the Bonemass power, and 5 Medium Health Potions.

The problem is that I ended up using only 60 Frost Arrows, one Fire Resistance Wine, and 2 Medium Health Potions, because I went full tilt into melee with the Frostner + Bonemass. It took me 8-10 minutes, I think - the Bonemass power ran out.

Yagluth is literally nothing with 30 odd Wolves at your back.

Bow + Bonemass buff.

Easy fight. Good trophy. I like when Yagluth trophy talks smack.

I beat him on second attempt: solo with a black metal sword, good food, Eikthyr power and fire potion of course. Armor was far from maxed.

All you need to kill this guy is a bow 300 frost arrows, if you want be lazy and safe. You do not need any armor better then troll tbh and can even do it armorless fire resist pot might be a good idea if you fail at avoiding the meteors. enough food to get at least 150 hp but again not needed just depends on how confident you are. Then all you need to do it kite him around the alter you summon him from ezpz.

speaking from 900 solo hours and no death run and new seeds on a regular basis.

If anything Valheim is probably geared too easy for the average player, and will hopefully get difficulty settings at some point.
I say this as I'm disabled because of progressive nerve damage (among other things). I have slow reflexes now and storm trooper aim. Sometimes I just plain hit the wrong buttons because my fingers decide they are going to do their own things. I play most games exclusively on easy settings now because I've had to come to terms with the fact I'm not capable of playing like I use to.
I prepped and beat him first go, like the rest of the bosses, by being super cautious and prepared. So saying "only sweaty try hards" can beat him solo is just disingenuous and insulting.

I solo'd him twice in a row he's not that bad. The trick is making sure your stamina is up when he does his breath attack. Have the best stamina foods and restores and only block when you need too to avoid huge hits, you mostly want to be running.

Oh yeah also take away mobs by placing workbenches/torches all around the arena and a bit outside it. You can also dig under the altar for a little safespot if you need to get a rested bonus back or what have you.

Frostner worked fine for me twice. Dunno what's going on. I had to hide behind the columns a few times to let the stamina regen, but no real issue. With the fire potion you can just about blow off some of his attacks, and keep damaging him. Get in his face and do it.

[Grimwolf]

Game is not hard you can go from start to finish naked with a bow and a few other weapons and beat every single boss solo. Not sure Id call this a survival game more like a action adventure with some survival mechanics.

If anything they should fix some of the game breaking mechanics they allow to continue to be in the game. I love the game myself or I would not have 900 hours on it.

BTW not saying you should not be able to solo beat bosses or progress. It is just some of the ways you can go about doing this is a bit cheesy and cheapens the game play to me at least.

It is easy to say just do not do this or that and I am sorry but that is just lazy on the people who suggest it and the programmers who make the game and allow these kinds of things to continue. I know some of these things have been fixed and that is a good thing. I hope we continue to see some of these things get fixed.

A few examples of things still not fixed: Pathing is still a broken joke and attacking on any kinda of elevation is just useless and frustrating.( I mean you can abuse the npcs with this as well) inventory lacking any kinda of stacking is still somehow a thing and not fixed I mean come on its 2021 that is just to name a few things.

Anyways have a good day.
