Thanks

The posts in this thread kill me. Games with quest markers and hand holding have apparently killed a certain level of gaming.

The hints and clues in Valheim aren't that difficult if you are paying attention to detail.

Sadly, this is why games like Morrowind will never exist again.

The first one wasn't as bad. I tried pelts and trophies. The Elder was a lot more obscure, because you get several items specific to the grey dwarves.

You have to look carefully. Do you see the hint?

Yes, in hindsight, knowing what the answer is, it's easy to pick it out. Until you know the answer, there's no reason to think any specific detail of the mass of vines and plant-growth is any more an exact clue than any other detail. Probably would be more obvious if the one on the pillar wasn't upside-down and looks like a three-petal flower when viewed from ground level. Nevermind the fact that the seed itself is not specifically associated with any creature, whereas the greydwarves, which are already plant-based creatures, both exist and have trophies of their own.

Specifically, you need to put the trophies on your hotbar, and then use them at the altar. I don't remember if the game mentions this or not, but if it does I think it was easy to miss.

What do you mean by the seed not being specific??
It’s only dropped by one creature.

Not only from that creature, a more reliable source is the one pictured above.

There's hints, it's not just the scripture but also the structure tells hints. Even the environment tells you.

1st Boss looks like a deer it's gonna be something with a deer. (Both hints well)

2nd Boss though the look doesn't give me the hint what kind then what about the pillars that have the shapes that look like a certain item. (Structure gives hint well)

3rd Boss has a shape of a skull hint, look at the start of the entire game and see the boss is a big giant blob, sunken crypt there's dead old blobs to mine and what do I get out of them.(Environment give you a hint well)

There's hints in the game your not using your head.
Not sure what about the fourth and last boss though environments, structure, and scripture tell you the hints to summon like a boss.

Hit wiki up.

The clue system is pretty awful. It only works if you actually know what the boss is already and therefore what common enemies it is associated with.

On the starting shrine you will find a depiction of a deer head... at the alter you will find an actual deer statue.

Not sure what you were hoping for as clues...

Maybe something like "Hunt his kin"?;)
