Yagluth Boss Guide — Summon, Fight, Drops
How to summon Yagluth with five Fuling Totems, handle the meteor swarm and skeleton adds, and what the Torn Spirit and the Yagluth Power unlock.

Where to find Yagluth
Yagluth is the fifth Forsaken and the end of the classic progression line (Eikthyr → Yagluth, the original 1.0 pre-release progression). His arena is a stone circle in the Plains, and you call him with five Fuling Totems taken from Fuling villages and camps across the biome.
Attack pattern
Yagluth is a stationary caster with three answers to everything you do: a ground slam with a wide shockwave, a meteor swarm that sets the arena burning, and a skeleton summon that turns a one-on-one into a crowd. The meteors mean the ground itself becomes the enemy in the second half of the fight.
Fight tips
- He has no real damage-type weakness — blunt and slash land at full value. Avoid pierce (quarter damage) and fire (half damage) as your main damage source.
- Kill the skeletons as they rise. They exist to break your dodge timing, and a slam while you are occupied is how runs end.
- Bring fire resistance mead for the meteor phase and the burning ground, and keep a fire-extinguishing escape route in mind.
- Clear the surrounding Plains first. A Fuling party or a lox joining the fight is the most common avoidable wipe.
Drops and Forsaken Power
Defeating Yagluth grants the Torn Spirit (×3), the item used to craft the Wisp Fountain, and the Yagluth Trophy. The Yagluth Power gives lightning resistance, a Farming skill bonus and a general damage increase — situational, but the Farming bonus is the only way to accelerate crops.
The power lasts 300 seconds: lightning resistance, +25 Farming and +10% damage dealt. Full list: Forsaken Powers.
Frequently asked questions
- What is Yagluth weak to?
- Yagluth has no real damage-type weakness — blunt, slash and frost all deal full (x1) damage. He is resistant to fire (half damage), very resistant to pierce (quarter damage), and immune to poison and stagger. A blunt or slash weapon with fire resistance is the safe, efficient choice.
- How many Fuling Totems do I need?
- Five, offered at the standing stones in the Plains. Totems come from Fuling villages and camps.
- What does Yagluth drop?
- The Torn Spirit (×3), used to craft the Wisp Fountain, plus the Yagluth Trophy. His Forsaken Power grants lightning resistance, a Farming skill bonus and increased damage.
