Valheim: How to defeat the Ancient One

The Ancient One is the boss of the Black Forest biome. Accordingly, he is inherent in the power of plants and exploits this accordingly:

• He likes to attack with tendrils, which he uses as tentacles. You can protect yourself from this by hiding behind the stone pillars.
• Fittingly, it is advisable to rely on ranged attacks against the Ancient One. Especially fire arrows are an effective means.
• Should you get too close to the boss, he tries it by stomp attack. This you should avoid, because it causes a lot of damage.
• In addition, the Ancient calls plant creatures to help. These cause chaos on the battlefield; however, you should not lose sight of the Ancient One at any time.

Have you mastered the battle, there is as a reward the Swampy Key, which you can use in the swampland to unlock crypts.
