Rungard, the Thousand-Faced Warden¶
Boss · made from Valheim's Stone Golem
Summoning¶
- Place 5 Visage of the First Warden in an Altar of Summoning and call.
- Each Rune of the Blood Challenge placed in the altar as well makes the boss rise with one more star (up to five).
- There are 3 of them per biome: closing a rune monolith reveals one on your map.
The monolith falls silent, and its runes point the way: an altar of summoning wakes in these lands. Level … - its place is carved upon your map.

How it fights¶

- Stone Summoning: after 25 s of fighting, then every 45 s, it turns to stone for 30 s.
- In stone it slams the ground every 2.5 s, calling 3 servants, up to 24 alive at once (at its native level).
- Rune spikes: first after 8 s, then every 16 s: 10 spikes of 60 damage (before difficulty), marked 1.3 s before they strike, each 2.2 m in radius.
- The fight takes place under a runic dome 2.5 times the size of a monolith's.
