How do you locate Moder''s summoning altar in the Mountains?
Locating Moder''s summoning altar in the Mountains biome is a critical step in progressing through Valheim''s boss progression system. Moder is the fourth boss in the game, and her altar is found in the Mountains biome, which is a dangerous and cold environment. To begin your search, you must first locate a Mountain biome on your map. These biomes are typically found in higher elevations and are often surrounded by Black Forest or Plains biomes. Once you''ve identified a Mountain biome, you''ll need to prepare for the harsh conditions by crafting Frost Resistance Mead or wearing Wolf Armor to survive the freezing temperatures.\n\nBefore venturing into the Mountains, ensure you have the necessary gear and supplies. Frost Resistance Mead can be crafted at a Fermenter using Honey, Thistle, Bloodbag, and Greydwarf Eye. Alternatively, Wolf Armor, crafted from Wolf Pelts, Silver, and Wolf Trophies, provides permanent frost resistance. You''ll also need a strong weapon, such as a Silver Sword or Draugr Fang bow, and plenty of food like Serpent Stew or Lox Meat Pie to maintain high health and stamina. Bring a Pickaxe to mine Silver and Obsidian, which are abundant in the Mountains.\n\nOnce prepared, explore the Mountain biome thoroughly. Moder''s altar is not marked on the map, so you''ll need to search for it manually. Look for large stone structures with dragon-like carvings. These altars are often found in open areas or near mountain peaks. Use the Wishbone, obtained by defeating Bonemass, to help locate Silver deposits and hidden structures. While the Wishbone won''t directly lead you to the altar, it can help you uncover nearby caves or ruins that might be close to the altar''s location.\n\nA common challenge is dealing with the hostile creatures in the Mountains, such as Wolves, Drakes, and Stone Golems. Wolves are fast and aggressive, so keep your shield ready and use terrain to your advantage. Drakes can be taken down with arrows, while Stone Golems require patience and powerful melee weapons. Always stay alert and avoid engaging multiple enemies at once. If you''re overwhelmed, retreat to a safer area and regroup.\n\nOnce you''ve located Moder''s altar, you''ll need three Dragon Eggs to summon her. Dragon Eggs are found in Mountain caves or near nests and weigh 200 units each, so you''ll need to transport them carefully. Use a Cart or portal system to move the eggs efficiently. Place the eggs in the altar''s offering slots to summon Moder. Be prepared for a challenging fight, as Moder is a powerful dragon with ranged and melee attacks. Bring healing mead, stamina potions, and a strong bow to defeat her.\n\nIn summary, locating Moder''s altar requires careful preparation, exploration, and combat readiness. Equip frost-resistant gear, bring powerful weapons, and use the Wishbone to aid your search. Stay vigilant against Mountain enemies and transport Dragon Eggs strategically. With these steps, you''ll be ready to summon and defeat Moder, unlocking new crafting recipes and progressing further in Valheim.
