How do I use the Draugr Elite trophy against Yagluth?
The Draugr Elite trophy is a unique item in Valheim that can be used strategically against Yagluth, the game''s final boss. While it doesn''t directly damage Yagluth, it can provide significant utility during the fight. The Draugr Elite trophy summons a Draugr Elite minion when placed on an item stand, which can distract Yagluth and absorb some of his attacks. This is particularly useful because Yagluth deals massive damage with his fire and meteor attacks, and having a distraction can buy you valuable time to heal or reposition.\n\nTo use the Draugr Elite trophy effectively, you must first craft an item stand. Item stands require 4 fine wood and 1 bronze nail, which can be crafted at a workbench. Once you have the item stand, place it in a strategic location near Yagluth''s summoning altar. Ensure the area is clear of obstacles so the Draugr Elite can move freely. Place the Draugr Elite trophy on the stand, and it will summon a Draugr Elite minion to fight alongside you.\n\nDuring the battle, the Draugr Elite will engage Yagluth, drawing his attention away from you. This is especially helpful during Yagluth''s meteor shower attack, as the Draugr Elite can absorb some of the damage. However, keep in mind that the Draugr Elite has limited health and will eventually die, so you should still focus on dodging Yagluth''s attacks and dealing damage yourself. Use this time to heal or reposition if needed.\n\nOne common challenge is managing the Draugr Elite''s health and ensuring it doesn''t die too quickly. To maximize its effectiveness, consider placing multiple item stands with Draugr Elite trophies around the battlefield. This will allow you to summon multiple minions, increasing the distraction and damage output. Additionally, make sure to bring plenty of healing items, such as meads or cooked food, to sustain yourself during the fight.\n\nAnother tip is to prepare the battlefield before summoning Yagluth. Clear any nearby enemies and create a flat area to place your item stands. This will prevent the Draugr Elite from getting stuck or distracted by other creatures. You can also build small shelters or barriers to protect yourself from Yagluth''s ranged attacks while your minions engage him.\n\nIn terms of gear, make sure you are well-equipped for the fight. Yagluth is resistant to fire damage, so avoid using fire-based weapons. Instead, opt for frost or poison-based weapons, such as the Frostner or Draugr Fang bow. Wear the best armor available, such as padded armor, and bring a strong shield to block Yagluth''s melee attacks. Stamina management is crucial, so bring stamina-boosting foods like serpent stew or bread.\n\nFinally, remember that the Draugr Elite trophy is just one tool in your arsenal. Combine it with other strategies, such as using bonemass power for damage reduction or eikthyr power for increased stamina regeneration. By leveraging the Draugr Elite trophy alongside these tactics, you can significantly improve your chances of defeating Yagluth and completing your Valheim journey.
