Anyone tried burying Wards around the Elder summon pillars, to prevent root spawns?
I need to go take out the Elder, and yes I know it is easy enough if I were to do this the 'proper' way, however I'm considering cheesing it to just get the darned key so I can move on to the Iron Age.
Anyone know if burying wards around the stone pillars would prevent the Elder from summoning his attack roots, or does NPC summoning work differently from normal spawn prevention methods?

I've dug trenches in just about all my boss fights except bonemass and elkthyr. Bonemass was a pain and a trench wouldn't work against them anyway.
Trenches are your friend, they deter/prevent enemies from moving on you and can allow you to evade some attacks like the roots.

Thanks Gunther, but I'll get it the normal way.
This is my first playthrough of Valheim, and I'm having a blast. What an amazing game so far!

For cheese, dig tunnels under the altar. Pop in and out of them like a prairie dog and shoot it with fire arrows.

My 2nd base is usually under the elder's platform. Cozy down there.

Literally underneath? I never gave much thought to it but I always assumed that there would be more unbreakable scenery to prevent you from tunnelling down there.For cheese, dig tunnels under the altar. Pop in and out of them like a prairie dog and shoot it with fire arrows.

Firearrows. Shoot behind pillars. When he summons roots, run to the other side. Repeat. Or more time consuming way, make campfires around the area. Pillars will protect you from his ranged attacks. He's about easiest boss there is.

After I posted this I realized that campfires don't prevent the summons, so I guess wards wouldn't be any different.

They dont prevent summons, but continuously damage the elder by burning him. Just switch side when he summons roots,they are only on small area. Personally,i just shot him with fire arrows and circled around the pillars. Easiest boss as you can shoot but he cant hit you with his ranged attack.
