Valheim: 5 Ways to Kill Moder - Melee, Bow & Arrows, Tamed Wolves, Bonfires and Setting a trap

Moder is the 4th boss that you'll face in the Mountains. This video shows you 5 different methods on how to kill her.

These 5 methods include giving her a fair fight and using Melee and Archery. If you don't want to melee or worry about blocking, you can also shoot her from below in a small trench. Since you're in the mountains, you can also kill her with your new wolf pets. You can also trick her into standing on top of a few bonfires, and you can trap her and box her in so she can't fly. That last method might need a little work though!

Using a frost resist potion is unnecessary for this fight. As long as you've crafted a wolf fur cape, her ice damage will already be reduced as much as it could be.

This video inspired me to capture Moder as my ultimate personal pet.

[Tallinu]

This was a very enjoyable tutorial! Well done on your explanations and insight!

[MerriGames]

Very good! I liked seeing the different methods.I liked the wolves and bonfire methods best :)

[AlmightyRawks]

I enjoyed watching the different options, it actually inspires me to try Moder more than once, not something I can easily say for Bonemass hehe.

This fight was hilariously easy. Easier than the first time I fought Eikthyr. Here I did all this prep work, cleared out trees, made a couple pillars to hide behind, got my meads, good weapons and armor, bunch of arrows, serpent stew and meat, all geared up to fight. What does Moder do? She lands on the alter, and gets herself stuck. I got right into her shoulder, and all she did was slowly start turning. No frost breath, no slash attack, no bites, just s l o w l y turning in a circle. I was able to stay right in that shoulder area with ease, and just hacked away with my sword. Even switched to a dagger mid “fight” just to use less stamina. A few rotations later, bye bye Moder.
Easiest. Boss. Ever... 🤣

Edit: of course, I’ll be doing it a few more times, just for trophies and tears. Tears of sadness...

[sincereO]

Fire pit worked like an absolute charm! Thanks ❤

[Connor_Tyler]

Thank you! I never thought to raise the ground to hide from the flying breath attacks; I used to try walls, but she smashes them instead. That made the fight a whole lot easier. Without having to worry about that big attack, the rest was easy.

Yesterday I decided to take on her. There was a well structure nearby (like with stairs and a chest on the bottom) where I placed my "get-da-fuck-out" portal to my main base.
The fight didn't go according to plan and I had to run to this well for shelter. Somehow she reached me there and I jumped into the portal. All good right? But here is a catch: I had an active mod that teleports your enemies together with you. So this is how I brought her from the mountain RIGHT IN THE HEART OF MY MOST IMPORTANT BASE. All the loot, workshops, portals to other bases were there! I shouldn't bother describing how I felt when I saw her flying over there. I panicked but then decided to quickly lure her out of the base into the wild. I barely managed to do so because the night came, it became dark, greydwarfs started chasing me together with Moder, I was falling into trenches and almost drowned in one of the canals. Man, that was some wild shit.
Luckily I still had enough of healing potions and arrows, which allowed me to finally kill her.
Moral of this story: be aware of mods, bois!

thanks man ive been stuck on Moder and this helped :) keep up the good vids!!

[morggo]

LOL, brilliant suggestions! It may be a bit of a cheese but I really want to try the BBQ ! That just looks fun to do.

[loving_vincent]

That stone pillar is a game changer! Wish I knew that earlier!

[thiasonwilson]

Thank you! I just bonfired Modor on the side of a mountain! Seriously, Epic video!

Serpent Shield > silver shield: its cheaper to make if there aren't many silver nodes in your mountain. Less degraded movement than the iron tower shield, additional resistance to pierce, and higher block armor than silver shield. I got mine when I was in the swamps and kept it all the way until I replaced it with the black metal shield in plains. For weapons, iron mace was fine with Draugr Fang and fire/poison arrows.

[VanderlooGames]

I used the Dragon BBQ method today and it was *awesome* thank you

[sneezyfido]

The trap method calls for pufferfish to deliver the final insult

[HoLeeFvk]

Wtf, am I the only one having a trouble with this boss?

I'm not actually having a hard time with moder, but the constant appearing of wolves like every 15 to 20 seconds they keep respawning on random places.

[storyscrolls-lr]

the barbeque method was so funny that all the floors broke my broski even broke the fires

[jarnhand]

You are impressively cold and controlled :)

[foxypointo]

I had a maxed out silver shield with 40ish armor and I could not block Moders attacks, even with Serpent stew, sausages and eyescream

[kuronoo]

what is currently aggravating me is that I can't find Moder's runestone, I've found yagluth's summoning alter and have resources from the plains biome that I can't do anything with, I have sailed over thousands of miles to different islands found frost caves and stone towers/ruins but no runestone
