Don’t make a Lox Cape, make a Wolf Cape. Exact same effect, far easier to get a hold of, looks way cooler.

In Norse mythology the hero Sigurd defeats the dragon Fafnir in a similar way by digging a trench and attacking from beneath.

So get this, me and my friend were about to fight Moder. We had built a small house with a crafting bench inside so we could make arrows if we needed them. So fast forward, we summon Moder. She completely ignores us the entire fight and focused on destroying that house. It’s like her AI decided that taking out our house was more important. Easiest fight ever. xD

May I add another tip when soloing a boss? Build a small yet well protected home to establish a close respawn point. I've built many small cabins, or dug under large rocks, so I can make a bed and fire. The mountain has many large rocks and I used two of them that were close together as a small respawn point. Just pick axe your way to the base, or close to it, and then dig into the large rocks. Shear a cliff off the front of it so the wolves don't come knocking later on. This tactic has helped greatly by saving me a long run back to my body, if I die that is.. =-)

cant wait to watch a speedrun of this game

im in love with the movement in this game

FireSpark81 if you didn't know, Flax and Barley can be harvested (when fully grown) with a weapon. The 2handed mace works really well, because of the big aoe. Doesn't work with carrots or turnips though. This comment should probably be on your farming video, but I hope you see it here and can maybe pass the info on to others.

There are some new foods that may have been added that you should have for the fight. Like onion soup (3 onions), wolf skewers (1 wolf meat, 2 mushrooms, 1 onion), or eyescream ( 3 greydwarf eyes, 1 frozen gland).

This isn't in regards to Moder himself but super helpful in the prep part. There are 2 huge tips to make all of this better: 1-frost resistant potions are still potentially useful even after you get frost resis armor. In case you ever die in the biome, the frost potion can help you keep from freezing while doing a run back to the corpse. 2-not sure if this is considered an exploit but I assume the devs intended this since they allow you to travel between worlds with everything on your character...just have 2 worlds to transport ores/dragon eggs. This process is easier/quicker if the world you are gathering from is NOT the same as the one where you plan to use everything/main world. I'll give an example to help illustrate my point. Let's say world A is where you plan to fight Moder. Gather an egg while in world A. Log out then log in to world B and drop the egg in a chest. Log back into world A and repeat the process. Once you have all the eggs you need in world B, go to the summon spot in world A then do the world switch to grab eggs and presto you've achieved your goal without needing to involve carts and boats and everything else that is a part of transporting things without portals. BONUS tip: this is definitely exploiting my 2nd tip but the 2 world thing can be used in a pinch to avoid death whether by running out of stamina while swimming or in a fight. I once got hit by the wolf raid out of nowhere and I was 1 hit from death with 0 stamina. I logged out then went into my world B (your health and stamina also stays the same between worlds) and I healed myself up and ensured my stamina went back to 100%. I then logged back into world A and destroyed the bloodthirsty pack attacking me.

And here I was thinking "Lox Cape... a cape made out of smoked salmon?" Oh, that's a lox!

seeing what gear you have vs mine, maybe i am way too over prepared for this boss lol

Yeah I’m over preparing for this. Draugr fang, wolf armor, and frostner

I found eggs inside a mountain. The crystal was sticking out so I used my pick axe, egg was inside mountain rock...

Cant even find the runestone to point me in the direction, explored 11 mountain biomes over 3/4's of my whole map.

Shortcut I used..... Just dig a trench directly next to/around the spawning platform as deep as your pit.... I even put my portal 'below' the lip of the platform and it survived the fight. easy enough to rotate out of her LOS.

add a campfire for rested and resting buff as well if your doing it this way for the 400% STAM

Another great guide to Kill a Boss solo. As of 4/3/21 Moder can and will wipe out your roof in the tunnel by smashing it's wing claws down. I know I was down pretty far, and it even smashed my work bench. Still killed Moder on my first try. Thanks!

Didn't watch the video but I can say just facing him in the mountains breaks him already. I literally face tanked him to death slapping away with a maxed iron axe. The few times he got a slap in, it was for maybe all of 40-50 damage which was quickly soaked by all three food buffs I had running (lox meat, serpent stew, and sausages). Basically when he lands, his AI is just busted. I had already made the comment to myself that this game probably doesn't have frost trolls for the simple fact they couldn't get the AI running in the mountains. Sad, but probably true given the state of Moder.

Your videos got me through my first world…🔥🔥🔥🔥🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

Love this video. I’m sad that once again this is another game that doesn’t have a proper dragon though. That’s a wyvern.

This is great. Nice Video FireSpark

That trap was so goood

This seems unnecessary unless you are absolutely blazing through the game and not mining. Un upgraded silver set with meat food buffs will let you survive multiple hits and hp potion for safety. Bow takes forever even with draugr fang and obsidian arrows. Just use a melee weapon with the heavy attack after blocking

if you are farming silver you should not waste time on Lox and instead need to just farm wolves since youll have a frost resist running anyhow. The wolf cape is the same as Lox and farmed in the zone youll be in anyhow.

I just raided four plains biomes for black metal and I haven't even beaten moder yet. If you have fully upgraded silver gear, it's possible.

moders attacks are very, very simple. the ice attack can be easily avoided by watching the dragon, when it takes a deep breath you pick left or right and run. when moder lands on the ground, again movement is going to help you here because the dragon is slow so you can deal more damage when its not flying.

I wouldn't suggest the lox cape thats next tier. The wolf cape and the wolf upper armour have the same frost resistance buff. Make both before the boss.

I'm raging that I can't make a dragon egg frittata

How do you manage to not spawn any mobs during fight? For me stone golems, dragons and wolves spawn regularly mid boss fight making it incredibly hard to deal with all at the same time.. Horror trip to get all that gear back from dieing 😅

Been waiting for this video👍

thank you for the tips started watching for your conan vids glad i subbed

Or you could use stone slabs as a rooftop instead; durability is better to work with (assuming you have a nearby base stacked with iron).

Your videos are fun and informative! Thank you very much!

I need help. I fought Moder around six times and died. I was finally able to get my stuff, so I went to my base to regroup. I went back though my portal, this time with plenty of arrows, food and meads. But, she was no where to be found on the mountain. I thought I had to get three more eggs to respawn her. But as soon as I was close to my portal in the meadows she appeared. As sooon as she showed up, it went pitch black. The only thing I could see was greydwarf eyes and modors ice breath/bombs.I tried to make it back to my portal, but a troll and at least six greydwafts stopped me. I never made it to my portal. My portal was destroyed. So, I built another ship and went back there. I was carful no to arrive at night. It didn’t matter. As soon as a got in sight of my grave, Motar appeared and I never made it. It’s as if the game doesn’t want me to play. Can anyone help? Any suggestions?

Excellent presentation, and I am going to be incorporating your suggestions when I take on Moder, which is very soon. I previously called her and died in the mountains and I preparing to try again. However, she's waiting this time and will attack if I get too close. The mountain is located adjacent to the plains, and I've decided to fight her there because - although there's the goblins, mosquitoes and lox to deal with, I believe it will be safer than trying to approach her from the mountains (no time to build the necessary arrangements). Also the area is isolated, with few hostiles around, so I believe I should be safe from them. Now, a few questions. As I said I'm taking your suggestions, but am adding a few of my own ideas. I'll be interested in what you think. First, I intend to put a teleporter at the end of the trench, in front of the crafting table. It's counter-part will be located a safe distance away - but still within range. This will provide a fast way to move back and forth between two points during the fight. Second, instead of wood boards, what about the possibility of using stone flooring to cover the top? They would be more durable and less likely to break during the fight. In fact, to really hedge my bets, I'm considering using a triple layer of stone, with the wood and iron reinforcements. Please let me know what you think, because I've been killed by her about four times now, and really want this time to succeed.

I spawned next to a mountain. I was finally able to check my mountain and i found out moder altar is right there 😆 lucky abd alrrady got 3 eggs. I havent even killed bonemass yet but tonight it will fall

firespark is underrated

I made an arena with about a 12-15x15 flat area with 4 raised ground pillars in the middle. Just ran around it while shooting and hid behind the pillars when she does the flying ice breath thing. It took about 200 fire arrows with the Draugr bow, durability is fine. I dunno how the poison arrows fare, wiki says poison does better damage on her

Worked like a charm. Thanks.

I think the mist lands will be the next to finish it has trees an decorative aspect done but no enemies spawn so safe for base buildings in the trees

I really wish hitting her with a single arrow still took away that much health. I tried for about an hour tonight and couldn't even get her past half health. Quit because it just wasn't fun anymore.

Worked like a charm for me, thanks

Can you explain how you got 3x200 +100 (756/300)materials to the altar. I didn’t see cart. Multiple trips? You said it can’t be teleported. 6:17 Can the cart be pulled with more than I can carry? I’ve not built one yet, but soon

Love it nice now i can take her out when i get done with the bone mass boss

I see new updates tweeked the bosses, not sure in what way though.

Put a portal down there instead of a workbench and you can repair whatever you want.

I face tank it like a champ in full maxed iron (with lox cape) and health potions. HURA!

I saw this and was like "thats a stupid ditch I SHALL BUILD A CASTLE ON THE MOUNTAIN.. then i built a castle.. double stone walls everywhere.. then i spawned moder.. then moder wrecked my castle.. then i died.. then i learned not to put my bed in my castle as my spawn point because if you die with no spawn point you go back to start....... which for me is very very very far from modor... On a side note.. when i spawned the boss i lagged so hard.. i think i could have solod it if it hadnt been for the castle crumbling around me lagging me to my death..........I love/hate this game so much

Wolf skewers over sausages at this point I think and onion soup over carrot soup like someone else said. Eye scream for the fourth perhaps?

bro just get a serpent shield and crit her with the silver sword when shes on ground, so easy to kill

boss was really easy once you figure out you have to run from the attacks not block/dodge them just keep doing laps around a tall rock untill they land and u pretty much cant be hit

Nice video!

you think odin truly realized these massive monsters' true weaknesses were in the lay of the land, mr @firespark81 ? 😆

Actually solved this two ways. Explored mountains, found a silver vein poking out of the ground. Got the silver needed for wolf cape without killing bonemass. Also, Found lox across a river. Shot them and by the time I had to actually deal with the thing it only had 1/4 health left. Super easy.

awesome guide

I think you should redo this. As others have mentioned, you can just make the Wolf armor. But just using arrows doesnt seem to be the way. I think my fight went on for at least 3 days straight and I used 100s of arrows. Toward the end I was just sick of it and went to God mode to experiment. I simply blocked his breathe with my shield when he was on the ground and beat him to death with my club. That seems to do like 10X more damage and wouldnt have taken days. So if I were to do over I would use arrows until he landed then run up and beat him down. Its possible god mode mitigated some damage but appeared like block worked fine

funny. I never foudn turnips. But I already had lox meat adn serpent meat before bonemass. But also, unless you are speed running, you shoudl have the draugr fang at this point aswell. I also cheesed by accident. There was a huge silver vein just before the altar, so after mining there was a huge hole, he didn't want to cross. So everytime he flew up and over, I just walked around again to the other side.

Bruh i used 400 fire arrows and a draugur fang and she didnt get below half health

I accidentally killed the 5TH boss before 4TH lol

Didnt something change? I had sheltered area, partially under altar and she bombed me with aerial attack - since its capable of destroying rocks with one shot, it went through roof like knife through butter and one shot me.

I don’t know if you’ve heard yet, but there is a group out there calling themselves The BRS and are helping people recover bodies and items after tough deaths

u can easy transfer the dragon eggs by using second savegame to store them temporary

Why a lox cape? Wolves are much easer to find and kill.

The fight was cheesy enough already for me. I just attacked with mele and blocked and dodged, with occasional fire arrows shot when she flew up. Took about 15 min tbh the health pool is far too big.

Please make a: How To Solo And Break The Sea Monster🥰

Seems wierd to use the second bow when you can make 2 better ones.

This fight really isn't that bad. I beat it with full silver armor and sword. I used the serpent scale shield that I upgraded and that was enough to block all of Moder's slashing attacks and maybe 1 or 2 damage got through which is what you really need, the armor isn't so important. Then when Moder flew I ran around and dodged. Moder's real weakness is the attack frequency on this boss is so low. You have more than enough time to do a few attacks then let your stamina recharge then block then repeat. Also if you are standing to the side of Moder's head the ice breath attack can't hit you and you can keep attacking. If you go along with the natural progression of the way the game was designed it's an easy fight with no cheese method involved. Beat it the first attempt without any issue.

hey firespark, have you, or anyone you know....done the research to find out if fully drawing a bow gives more XP opposed to just rapid firing to level bows quickly?

Any tips on finding mountain biomes? I'm struggling here.

This is pretty pointless. Just dig around the platform to dodge the aerial frost attacks, then pop up and melee Moder when she lands. You can easily take her hits with a silver shield (and probably iron).

I fought Moder last night. I placed the 3 eggs and just hit the altar to activate it, when I hear a noise behind me. I turn around and there's a stone golem about to hit me. I ran around for 5 minutes before activating the altar to make sure there were no mobs that were going to join the fight. I killed about 12 drakes, 3 wolves, and a stone golem. Then this other stone golem spawns right behind me when I start the moder fight. I was so pissed, but managed to kill everything without dying.

I love your content but you should put these out at peak times rather than the middle of the night, I want to see you get a following!

I tried soloing him after H&H patch and it seems that his health now regenerates everytime I go underground into the hole I built. Anyone else encountered this?

much easier to get the wolf cape....gotta go to the mountain anyway so just get some wolf pelt....mind you have to beat the bonemass to get the wishbone but once you have the wolf cape no need for frost res pots

Nice, haven‘t played so far, and now picture and name of the next boss in my youtube recommendation :(

Issa wyvern yo

We the players can't attack down too unless we use the stagmaul.

How to beat every Boss in this game: Spoiler Dig down.

seen a bunch of videos where people melee Moder down with a Silver sword and Bonemass buff up little longer than 5mins just don't stand in the breath

i think im cursed. ive had bad luck with all of these easy boss fighting tricks. this one i wanted to dig down but the alter was literally right next to a river only a couple of strikes down i hit water and the deer god kept running away from my wood fort so i had to leave it to fight him.

Wolf cape was sufficient to protect from mountain cold.

Look what they've done to my girl!

Buy the Megingjord belt from Haldor the Trader and the egg weight becomes a none issue...

How do you get a lvl 5 Workbench

So, I did this method and the dragon glitched its body into the tunnel. I keep having to log out and heal up in another world. The dragon only hits every few moves. Still I may die :/

He’s easy, we used Obsidian and needle arrows and just dodge left and right when he telegraphs he about to shoot ice blocks down. Dodging the breath when he is on the ground is even easier strafing running directly left or right like with the air attack. Rinse and repeat easy win 🙂. Using the Comfort 9 16 minute rest bonus helps a lot too and carry stamina potions too just in case. If out of Stamina when he is doing one of the breath attacks you are corpse running.

Just curious, but why not equip the belt for extra carry capacity?

looks like a managarmr mixed with a wyvern from ark

obsidian arrows do a lot of damage to her

u can save a lot of stone raising the terrain by only raising a little bit and then using the hoe to finish raising it to height. youll have to come back and raise the ground where pot holes are but it saves 5x-10x stone

...Moder is hella easy though, disappointing, even. Yagluth gave me much more trouble (+ fulings and deathsquito galore)...

I was wondering, can you like fo a rock cage done with stone pillars and walls and try to trap the dragon? Just like in ark? Xd and then just go ham

How to break moder: step one: fight moder. Step two: she gets stuck in terrain. That's it. That's the joke.

Do you think having the draught bow maxed out (durability wise) would be enough to solo it without repair? Pretty sure i can shot 200-300 arrow without repairing it

This is a ridiculous overcomplicated strategy. She is easy to melee if you time it right. No prep work needed. Avoid her ice breath while she's on the ground, but her swipe and bite attack don't do much damage at all if blocked. After you block, she gives you more than enough time to get in a three hit combo each time.

Nice strategy but I'll melee tgt with this strategy. Much more interesting

Disappointing boss. pathing is terrible. was just a pinata while he got stuck in a tree, the terrain or his alter. I think they need to teleport the player to a specific arena for this fight or fix it some other way.

if you have tier 4 wolf armor will modur do a lot of damage?

Set up a portal in a cave close by, can repair your Uber bow and come straight back

How many arrows did it take? 100's?
