I actually found it more satisfying when I killed the second boss in the swamps. But if you have a bit of an impatient personality, I can see it might not be so much fun. One suggestion: if things aren't going so well in the swamps, don't be stubborn, just consider different approaches, and nothing wrong with taking your time as well...

Well, I've already used some time for the fight because halfway through I had to work with the javelin throw, that means throwing, running, pick up the spear again and repeating. At the end I was at 1-3% HP but I did it the first time (YES). I'm actually a patient guy, I just wanted to know what a boss fight looks like in Valheim and I thought it was good. I'm curious about the swamps, sounds like it will be Fun :).
