Mobs can only spawn naturally during the battle, the boss doesn't summon any additional mobs. Clear the ground before engaging, just like with any other boss up until that point. Don't fight at night or dusk, start the battle when a new day begins. You don't need to mess with terraforming, just use the finger-pillars for cover, take your time and recover if necessary. Bring potions. Yagluth is undead so spirit damage is effective.

I did semi-cheese Yagluth by building a shelter under his altar. I died trying to melee him in under 20 seconds. Even with a black shield equiped. Hence i did kite him with a bow about one day in game time.

I just finished battling Yagluth solo, and it was an uphill battle.

A fuling camp on one side, 2 tar pits on the other, loxes on a hill and deathsquitos with the occasional fuling patrol roaming around.

I geared up with the Padded Armor Set, Blackmetal sword and shield, Draugr Fang with needle arrows, health and stamina meads, fire resist potion and the best food I could bring at the time.

Cleared out the camp and tar pits, then went back to base to sleep.

Started the fight, went better than I expected, kept the stone pillars between me and him whenever he breathed fire or summoned meteors.

Then the mobs came.

Biggest problems were the Growths and Deathsquitos.

The Fulings were a minor nuisance but kept me from focusing on Yagluth.

Anyways, since you are doing it with a friend, why don't you alternate keeping Yagluth busy while the other one takes care of the mobs that show up?

When you are both focusing on Yagluth and one of you gets to critical health, disengage while the other one keeps Yagluth's attention on him?

Or, make a dirt wall around the summon area to at least keep the ground mobs away?

I have almost 200 hours in this game and have enjoyed every minute of it. My friend has the same and has unlocked many new items in the Mistlands. We have tried to defeat Yagluth together several times, and get destroyed by him during the fight and the random spawns of the Plains that spawn during the fight. It is too much for us to progress to the next level. The spawns (furlings and lox) and Yagluth are too difficult to defeat. Is there some way to balance this better?

Check on youtube as there are various methods you can do that make your concerns a non issue. Personally, I favor the massive 2 star wolf army method but there are more than a few ways to make it an easy fight.

Tame the Lox, set them free.

Ollie ollie loxen free?

If you get adds in a boss fight, run or terrain boggle the boss and kill the add. If its lox, you are in bad location or forgot to kill it before the fight started or just bad luck. Lox used to be friendly, but their new large aggro radius has made them difficult and you should clear them out or find another alter or sadly make an arena to fight in (lofted terrain with places to hide and heal or something).

Another tip: Don't do boss battles at night, clear the area beforehand, you win, he's literally one of the easiest bosses in the game, i'd rate him spot 4, maybe spot 5 as i have actually been killed by Moder once when i was trapped under her head.

Obviously you can cheat or cheese... but that's not my thing.

My approach (works every time):
1) Scout the area prior to summoning and clear out any mobs that will be drawn in by the battle/noise.
2) Fire resistance mead.
3) Summon the boss.
4) CHARGE HIM - Run to the sparkles as he spawns ... as soon as "poof" he's there, start wailing on him with Frostner.
5) As stamina or health wane, take meads, get in a few more hits.
6) EVADE - once heath starts to wane again and wait for the cooldown timers on the meads reset. This means playing "ring around the monolith" for about a minute or so. If he starts poking enough holes in the monolith that it is longer safe to hide behind, move to a different monolith.
7) CHARGE HIM - once cooldown timers reset - and repeat 5, 6, 7 as needed.

I use the same approach with Bonemass using the iron mace.

That said, I only play solo so I don't know how much harder he becomes when a second player is added or how having two targets affects his movement. Your mileage will no doubt vary.

Good luck!

You don't really even need to cheese the Yagluth battle. The only preparatory measures I typically take are clearing out any nearby villages and groups of lox, and planting workbenches in them and on any other obvious spawn points. Makes for a nice peaceful one-on-one with the fuling god. Make sure it's morning, you're well-rested, well-fed, hit the fire resist potion, have some stamina and health potions ready just in case, and make the sacrifice. Silver sword and tower shield, and I didn't even need to use a power, just hacked him down. The other advice about frost arrows, especially if you are part of a group, is great. Just shell him from range, and switch off whoever is the damage sponge if someone starts to get unduly beat up.

No, the Plains aren't all that scary apart from swarms of fulings and surprise two-star fulings, which can still be escaped under most circumstances. The Mistlands, on the other hand...

It is unbalanced stupidly.
After several days of upgrading and trying everything I found a pre-patch video where he takes much more damage and deal much less.
Now for solo players he is almos unbeatable without cheesing.
Or spend an hour choping him for 40-50 damage through horde of respawning adds. Wich is far from being any kind fun.
If Mistlands is the same trash - it's better just drop it.

You ARE using fire resist potions, I trust?
Load up on healing and stamina potions and some fire resist potions, frost or silver weapons or arrows and he shouldnt be a fatal problem.

His problem is the furlings and lox spawning durring yagluth battle, The boss itself its okay but when is there 10 furlings,3 lox,2 deathquitos and yagluth at the same time in mid boss battle.

When i was beating bonemass the game suddenly spawned 2 abominations making the fight way hard than it should be.

During morder: 2 golens,6 wolfs, and 4 drakes.

During Yagluth: 6 furlings,5 mosquitos and 2 bosses at the same time

I think that the bosses in valheim are pretty easy due to lack of movesets or mechanics mid boss.

So, I don't think the game is that badly balanced, but the extra mob spawns in the middle of boss fights really do make things near impossible. I got a golem, drakes and wolves with Moder and a bunch of fulings during the Yagluth fight. I was just about coping with the bosses, but half a fuling village chasing me while trying to dodge meteors turned out not to be survivable. If you've just downed a stamina mead to get some extra hits on the boss and you're in the cooldown window for meads and the Bonemass power, you just do not have enough stamina or toughness to handle everything at once.

Don't remember seeing any abominations during Bonemass, just the regular skeletons he spawns. That fight was hard enough anyway.

Are the mobs guaranteed to spawn or is this just the tyranny of RNG? If they're guaranteed, then yes, they're too much and should be toned down. If they're just random spawns for that area, then maybe those should be disabled during boss fights (within a decent radius of their summoning altar).

Yagluth is devastating until you know the deal. Prep the battle field ahead of time with a raised wall between the 'fingers' Make it just high enough for you to jump over. Yag will be stuck inside. You can hide behind the wall to avoid his AoE and physical attacks. His meteors come in at an angle, if you have a trench you can duck into it. Or hide under the fingers. Watch some Youtube videos. Once you know his attack routine and how to cheese him, he's not so bad, and keeping him corraled minimizes nearby spawns entering the fray.
