Yagluth

Yagluth is the fifth Forsaken and the end of the classic run, a giant undead torso that drags itself across the Plains hurling fire and lightning. It is a pure ranged-and-dodge fight with no melee phase to lean on. Its power, broad elemental resistance, smooths the way into the modern endgame tiers that follow.

Where and when

Yagluth lives in the Plains, the fifth biome, where you gather black metal and farm flax and barley. You fight it after Moder, once you have black metal gear and can survive a Deathsquito hit. Summon it at its altar in the Plains.

How to summon

Offer 5 Fuling Totems at Yagluth’s altar. Fuling Totems drop from Fulings and are found around their villages, so clearing a village or two while you gather black metal scrap is the natural way to collect five. Bring them to the altar and place them.

How to fight it

Yagluth has no body to stand on, so this is a ranged and dodge fight. It slams the ground with its hands, calls down meteors, and sweeps a fire beam across the field. Keep moving, watch for the glowing hand-slam markers on the ground, and dodge-roll out of them. Hit it with a strong bow or a black metal weapon during the gaps. Frost resist mead helps blunt its fire, and the Bonemass power covers the physical hits. Clear the area first, because Fulings and Deathsquitos wandering in during a meteor barrage will end you.

Yagluth’s hand slams telegraph as glowing patches on the ground. Treat those markers as instant death and roll clear every time, because the damage will drop a fully fed Viking.

Drops and Forsaken Power

Yagluth drops its trophy along with Plains materials. Hang the trophy on the Sacrificial Stones to activate its Forsaken Power: a 25 percent resistance to elemental damage, covering fire, frost, and lightning. That resistance is a real help heading into the Mistlands and beyond, where elemental threats stack up.
