Yagluth, the 5th (and currently final) boss in Valheim, can be found in the plains. It's currently the hardest fight in the game right after Bonemass, and can be difficult if you don't come in prepared.

In this encounter, I used a fully upgraded set of Padded Armor, a Blackmetal Shield, and when I was testing it mid-fight it looks like there's no clear advantage whether you use the Silver Sword or the Blackmetal Sword. The Silver Sword appears slightly weaker (I might be wrong if the spirit damage is just invisible), but it uses 4 less stamina per swing. In a fight where you may need to run & dodge, that might be more important to some people.

Before the encounter started, I prepped the arena by flattening it and adding walls all around to reduce any adds from entering the fight (1 Fuling still managed to sneak in somehow!)

Food and Buffs I used included Serpent Stew, Bread and Lox Meat Pie. If you don't have access to Serpent meat, Fish Wraps should be just as good. The Fire Resistance Barley Wine is the most important buff in this fight as all of Yagluth's attacks contain large amounts of fire damage.

Because of the Fire Resistance buff I was able to melee Yagluth, dealing larger amounts of damage faster. When my health was getting low I would retreat and use ice arrows while I waited for my health to regen. Also, as tempting as it may be to use Bonemass's power in this fight, most of the attacks are elemental in nature so Eikthyr's power to boost running is just better for this fight.

Lastly, the strat of all 3 of his attacks are:
Fire Breath: Run/Strafe to the sides
Meteor (left hand): Run and/or hide
Nova Slam (right hand): With all the buffs mentioned, a good block/parry, and if you're up to the task, just tank the damage and melee him right after it. Remember that you *are* going to be standing in fire and taking bits of damage if you do this step.

If you're preparing to tackle Yagluth yourself after this, good luck!
