Valheim has many bosses to fight that serve as the main progression for the game. These bosses typically unlock new mechanics, recipes, and technology that allow players to explore new zones or craft powerful gear. Each boss has a specific method to summon them and resistances or weaknesses to certain damage types and effects. These bosses can be quite challenging, so be sure to bring the best food and best equipment available before attempting to defeat them.
