This happened to me when I went to the mountains and tamed wolves long before I had any business being in the mountains. I used a series of huts to keep from freezing. After several hours of effort and multiple deaths, I finally got my tamed wolves to the ship down below. As I was trying to load them, I got hit with one wave after another of everything the game could throw at me. They really didn't want me to have a wolf that early! I still managed to make it out somehow but it was ridiculous (funny, but ridiculous)

OK just checking.

OP should mark this as the answer. If you have problems with spawns, follow Zathabar's suggestions. Works every time.

use bonemass during boss fights...

you shouldnt be shooting her with arrows. arrows are garbage and do no damage at all
wait for her to land and wack her face into the ground with your melee weapons. if i can do it with a silver sword you can do it with anything

Boss fights can be a huge aggravation if there are active spawns nearby.
For golems, if you dig a pit and trick them into it, they will get stuck and sit there, and no replacement can spawn. For the others, you just have to kill them if they come by.
in any case, and for any boss, you need a safe place to heal up. Sometimes there is a natural one, usually you need to break out the hoe and craft one.

If I am not mistaken, the golems will fight moder.

Golems respawn, going away and sleeping pretty much ensures they'll be there again when you get back. If it's too much to clear and fight in one day then find another alter I guess.

Nothing fights moder for you btw, or any boss - bosses are factioned to all except player.

no problem!
In my new single player world i reached Moder... But on the spawn of moder are also 3!!!! spawns of golems! i cleared it up! even the dragons and wolves!
On the next morning i activated Moder and got ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up by respawning golems, wolves and dragons during fighting Moder...i got Moder down to 70% but get killed by respawning ads.... wolves, dragons AND golems...
Sorry this can't be serious...

It is all just random.

How to deal with respawns near boss fights:

Dig pits outside of the boss arena but not to far away. Drag mobs with the harpoon into it. If there are mobs around there are no rewspawns.

Sounds like a case of bad RNG. It's not always that bad. The devs didn't design it to do that on purpose, but random spawns are something to think about when prepping a boss site. It will get worse in the plains if you don't do any prep work.

For wolves and golems a trench or earth wall will keep them out. Make sure to keep the battle area big enough or moder will go land somewhere else. That won't help with drakes but if you know where they're coming from, a few well placed campfires will prevent respawn, like if there's a nest nearby.

Spamming campfires around any boss area, when you can, is a good idea. The anti-spawn effects still work and they're less likely to be targeted than workbenches.

Maybe fight her in daytime?

Get RNG'd.

I kited her into the black forest to solve that problem. Not only do the pines provide adequate cover, the ads do you no damage and distract her.

Look on the bright side...now you have a good Mountain biome to farm Crystal for builds :)

love it... ! no need to rush ..you are in valheim for ALL eternity to fight ..fight fight.. you wouldnt want it to be easy would you.. nothing to brag about when you solo Moder and her friends

sincerely, this game can get a bit tedious during solo play as I've died plenty to bosses and had to change my strategy. sounds as though your particular location has issues which you can engineer toward your favor with a pickaxe and some building pimpness.
