Didnt exactly know that these altars were for the bosses.

The game tells you that's what they're for if you read all the things...

I always end up fighting Eikthyr with a club, and you don't need any armour for Eikthyr. You can defeat it when you're at the "club and torch" stage. I feel like your hundreds of attempts was an exaggeration. I'm sure you died a few times, but I bet you figured it out after just a few and then kicked Eikthyr's butt.
