I didn't set these rules out for myself just to set up exploitive ways to finish the game.

I have never tried such a thing, but I think that Bonemass' power would be better than Eikthyr. Also, I've heard that the Frosner Hammer is good against Yag because he is weak against blunt and spirit damage.

Alas instead of victory I report a challenge run failure.
I played solo and wanted to kill all bosses and hang their trophies in under 100 days. I also set myself playstyle rules, no merchant, no farming, no cauldron (therefore no potions and recipe food) no movement penalty armour. Basically I wanted to see if light armour, lowish tier food and no potions could be enough to beat all bosses.

I killed all bosses except Yagluth.

On day 43 I summoned Yagluth.
I had:
padded helm level 2
fenris chest and pants level 2
Troll cape level 4
Iron mace level 4
Eikthyr power
Serpent meat, lox meat, cloudberry
Skills probly around 40 mostly

I failed hard and hard and hard, again and again. I only got him about one third down on health. I could have continued, it just would've meant going for more boat rides to get more serpent meat and hunting some more lox and then I could keep trying but not having a fire potion for protection is bloody hell, one hit sometimes can be more than enough to wipe me out, I have to be crazy precautions but the hustle needs to be kept up so he doesn't just keep regenerating. The concentration level was too much for me at that moment and I couldn't handle it. I may return when im fresh again but just wanted to give the heads up if anyone else is game to try this?

Ps. I have beaten Yagluth before many times. this is a challenge run I'm trying with the main big thing being no potions. It seems so far Yagluth is very hard to do without potions. I will try beat him on a fully geared character without using potions and see if gear could be a deciding factor to the no potions run.

Lox drop breeding pen would work nicely against Yag.

It's pretty easy to build up above his summoning circle to create a breeding pen that will drop baby lox down below for the eventual fight.

I made a whole base on top of his arena before my party summoned like 5 or 6 reducing it all to rubble :mmj_sleepy_elf:

I often solo Yaggie for fun with a bow and no pots I personally think you failed your run with your weapon choice against Yagluth, but that's me.
