Eikthyr

“Defeat the Lightning Stag”

Eikthyr — the first boss of the game, a Forsaken from the Meadows biome. Once the king of the forest, the size of the antlers is truly impressive.

Where to find

Eikthyr’s Altar

The boss waits at Eikthyr’s Altar in the Meadows biome. There are several such places in the world, up to 3.

To the left of the Sacrificial Stones in the starting clearing stands a vegvisir: touch it and Eikthyr’s altar will appear on the map.

How to summon

Deer Trophy icon ×2

Place 2× deer trophy on the altar (creature trophy: Deer). The boss appears about 12 seconds after the offering, so eat first and stand where you have room to retreat.

Attacks

Antler strike 20 pierce
Lightning charge 15 lightning
Thunder stomp 15 lightning

Tactics

Preparation
  • Make the bow in advance: fell an oak or birch so that the tree lands on a log and splits it into fine wood.
In the fight
  • The attacks are easy to block even with a wooden shield, and between them you can hit with a flint spear.
  • Or keep your distance: a primitive bow and fire arrows, which also set him on fire.
Good to know
  • The darkness and lack of rain during the fight are the boss’s aura, not the weather.
