10 "Useless" Video Game Skills That Are SECRETLY DEADLY

Valheim is a Viking-themed survival game in which you take on powerful mythical monsters to prove your warrior skills to the Norse gods.

The game offers you a variety of different weapons and combat skills, but if you’re taking on the first two bosses, Eikthyr and the Elder, the only ability you really need is how to make campfires.

Yes, the fastest way to kill the two starting bosses in the game is by placing campfires and letting them burn by stepping on them. To make this exploit work, you first need to gather enough wood and stone to be able to build four walls and a handful of campfires.

The trick is to quickly build the walls and campfires around the spot where the boss spawns so that it becomes trapped inside and constantly burns itself on the fire as it tries to escape the walls.

The timing here can be tricky, as you only have a few seconds to localize the spawn point and build the trap after activating the boss’s altar, but learning this skill is worth the effort, as the campfires can kill both starter bosses in less than a minute, making them the fastest and most resource-efficient weapons.
