Moder – Valheim Boss Guide

Moder is the fourth boss in Valheim, found in the Mountain biome. Here’s how to prepare for and defeat this dragon.

Step 1: Armor Up

By now, you should have access to Wolf armor. Equip yourself with:

  • Wolf Armor Chest
  • Wolf Armor Legs
  • Wolf Fur Cape
  • Drake Helmet

Wolf armor will provide good protection and keep you warm in the cold Mountain biome.

Step 2: Choose Your Weapon

Moder is weak to pierce damage, so utilizing spears and bows is effective.

  • Melee Option: Use a Fang Spear for close combat, paired with your best shield for defense.
  • Ranged Option: Use a Draugr Fang Bow with Obsidian Arrows. The pierce damage will be particularly effective against Moder.

Step 3: Food and Boosts

Eating the right food will maximize your health and stamina for the fight. Here are our recommendations:

  • Lox Meat Pie
  • Serpent Stew
  • Blood Pudding

These foods will provide significant health and stamina boosts.

Step 4: Utilize the Resting Effect

Before heading into battle, ensure you have the Resting Effect by being sheltered or sitting by a fire. The Resting Effect provides:

  • +50% Health Regen
  • +100% Stamina Regen
  • +50% Skill Experience Boost

Step 5: Summon Moder

Once you’re fully prepared, head to Moder’s marked location on your map. You’ll find a Mystical Altar there.

  • Offer Three Dragon Eggs: These can be found scattered across the Mountain biome. They are heavy, so be prepared to make multiple trips.

After offering the Dragon Eggs, Moder will be summoned. Be ready to dodge her ice attacks and stay mobile to avoid taking too much damage.
