Yagluth

[Bongoboy]

Is it just me, or is this boss not really designed well?

I try to Melee him and as far as I can tell with a Fire Protection Potion you just block his Fire Breath and Meteors. The issue is that as soon as you get close he will use his Nova and while he not just spam it, every 3rd action he does you have to get away for him doing that Nova. And then you can't get back in because of the Fire it leaves behind. So you stand around for one full Spell before you can even get back and then you have barely time to get a couple hits in because he does his Nova soon.

On the other hand you can just use a Bow and shoot him with Ice Arrows... making him die slowly of laughter.

It seems that the best way to kill him is really to influence the Geometry in some way. Either by digging a hole and Harpoon pull him in, so he stops moving which is helpful if you want to use a Bow. Or you build a Geometry wall which you can kite him around.

Or how do you all kill him?

Bows

Did none of the things you mentioned. Just bow. shot arrows. He died.

[blankitosonic]

I think silver arrows make more damage to him

[Subsonic]

Frosner is a beast against Yagluth. Bows, not so much unless you don't mind shooting a billion of them.

[Mr B.]

I've built a wall around the whole thing, and got loxes in, and tamed them.

Currently at about 7 or 8.

When the space permits no more to be made, I look forward to seeing how much damage they do before they die. I'm under no illusion they will kill him, but it should make it a lot quicker.

Plus, be fun to watch.

Bow, kiting, having fun.

Fight smarter, not harder.

[Ataxio]

Stand on his face with any silver weapon and go ham. Takes a minute or so, never really hurts me. Using bonemass + the full flight of potions.

No mods~

I can say this, my next play through I am taking a herd of lox or a pack of wolves, just for fun.

There's a vid of a guy who tested yag versus a set of wolves and lox. Lox group most attempts was decimated while the wolf one shreds yag in seconds.

Also the pacifist runs tend to use wolves on most bosses except bonemass and again takes them down in seconds. Bonemass poison aoe wrecks wolves too fast.

Hmm... and take 2 hours? Frost Arrows do like 40 damage to him... he has 10,000 HP. Have fun.

I read that they patched that out, didn't try Silver Arrows though.

That is what I did.
He is resistant to Fire(0.5x), Very resistant to Pierce, Wet(0.25x) and Immune to Poison, Stagger (0x).
Which makes the Porcupine not that great for him, same with the Blackmetal atgeir or Blackmetal knife. The only thing left to do would be to grab a Blackmetal sword or the Frostner.
And yeah shooting down 10,000 with Frost Arrows 40 damage a pop... it's not a "billion times" but to slow for my taste. I guess you could retreat and come back to him, he heals slowly but yeah.

I figured when he calls down his Meteors and you stand really close to him, his head gets hit by the Meteors and you take no damage. But jumping onto him? That is what I will try next time I kill him.
You can do that to Lox to, lol... they can't hit you unless they do their stomp.

By yag's level, make sure its 2 starred wolves by the way.

He is also much MUCH easier in a group, as you can actually take turns drawing aggro, giving more opportunities to hit him without getting popped

[Pantstron]

Kill him how you want. My most laborious attempt was using a sliver knife, took 2 fire potions to take him down

Was that the underground and floor tile clipping method?

Don't know what that is, I was completing a run using no portals, no farming no static base, I was unable to make cauldron lvl 4 food due to no farming rule. Finished run by day 160

I had padded armour, drake helm and cape. My food was serpent meat, serpent stew and eyescream. I used bonemass which was a mistake imo, I think ekthyr would have been better as most of fight was running back and forth, dodging meteors and using a pillar for cover.

[caroraim]

Can't harpoon him to drag into a pit any more...arrows don't get it done before the bow breaks and adds build up. Seems the devs want you to tank him. Silver works well on him just like all skellies. Hate this fight, get ♥♥♥♥♥-slapped every time
