A father noble and proud He soared through skies of fire Then madness lowered its shroud And warped his heart's desire
Its last words
I followed a false destiny, and it gave me nothing but ruin. Forgive me, my love...

How to beat Fader
What is Fader weak to in Valheim?
. It ignores Chop, Fire, Spirit, Pickaxe entirely, so a weapon that looks strong on paper can do nothing here. The weapon table above applies those resistances rather than listing raw damage.
How do you summon Fader?
Place Morgen Heart on its altar in the Ashlands. The offering is consumed on use.
How much health does Fader have?
25,000 across the whole fight. There is no damage cap or enrage timer, so the practical limit is how long you can keep landing hits — which is why the weapon that beats its resistances matters more than the one with the biggest number.
What does the Fader power do?
Fader is what Fader grants at a sacrificial stone once you carry its trophy. It runs for 300 seconds and then needs 20 minutes before it can be used again, and only one Forsaken power can be active at a time — so it is chosen for the fight ahead rather than kept on permanently.
What changes in the world after you beat Fader?
New creatures begin to appear: Charred Marksman, Charred Warrior. Beating a boss sets a world key, and several spawn tables are waiting on exactly that key — which is why a biome you thought you had cleared starts producing things you have never seen. The change is permanent and applies to the whole world, not just your character.
