Eikthyr is a Boss creature in Valheim with 500 health. The numbers above are the ones the game never shows you: how fast it moves against your own speed, how much damage inside one window it takes to stagger it, whether smoke and fire do anything to it, and the spawn rule behind the biome — an interval, a chance and a cap per zone.

Eikthyr FAQ
How do you kill Eikthyr in Valheim?
No effect: Chop, Pickaxe. Health is 500, so the right damage type matters more than raw weapon damage.
What does Eikthyr drop in Valheim?
It drops Eikthyr Trophy (100%), Hard Antler (100%). Chances shown are for a plain kill; starred variants multiply both the amount and the chance on anything that scales.
Where does Eikthyr spawn in Valheim?
It appears in Not placed by the spawn system. Valheim worlds are seed-generated, so there is no fixed location. The biome and its spawn conditions are what is fixed.
Can you outrun Eikthyr in Valheim?
Not in the water, which is where you meet it. Eikthyr swims at 4 against your 2, so it closes on a swimmer the whole way and there is no version of that swim you win. Get back on a boat or onto land — on a boat you outrun it easily; in the water you do not.
Can Eikthyr be staggered?
No. Eikthyr never staggers, however hard the hit lands, so there is no opening to make and nothing to set up. Trade on your own terms instead of waiting for a window that cannot come.
