The Elder

“Defeat the Living Forest”

The Elder — the second boss of the game, a Forsaken from the Black Forest biome. Even in death, it seems to grin with secret knowledge.

Where to find

The Elder’s Altar

The boss waits at The Elder’s Altar in the Black Forest biome. There are several such places in the world, up to 4.

The altar is in the Black Forest. It is shown by vegvisirs in crypts and ruins of the Black Forest.

How to summon

Ancient Seed icon ×3

Place 3× ancient seed on the altar (drops from: Greydwarf Brute). The boss appears about 12 seconds after the offering, so eat first and stand where you have room to retreat.
