Try sneaking away first if you can, although i assume you might not be able to.
In order to Sneak, press the Left-Ctrl button (default), and make sure to not run out of stamina or you will stand up again and stop sneaking. You can just sit still for a while and gain stamina back while ''sneaking'' (crouching).

Assuming that wont work, your best bet is to use the trees and natural terrain to block Eikthyr's movement. You are smaller and can move through places Eikthyr can not, this gives you some chances to regain hp, stamina, and gain distance as Eikthyr is faster.

Using natural terrain to get away from Eikthyr, you need to pick up wood laying on the ground (sticks) as you are moving away. This allows you to craft the Hammer, and then build walls to block Eikthyrs movement, as well as a bed or base if you get the chance.

Dont try doing the building and collecting all in one go, if you want to make this work dont be afraid to collect wood first, then die from Eikthyr. Next run collect the death marker with your collected wood. And eventualy build something that has a roof, a bed, and a campfire.

Once you made your makeshift ''base'', Die to Eikthyr or lead it away, and you should be able to rush towards the base you made putting enough distance between you and Eikthyr so you can sleep in the bed and set your spawnpoint.
You cant sleep in a bed if there are enemies nearby, so take that into account.

If all fails
You can make a new game/map, use your same character or a new one, collect some gear like a bow, armor, and ofcourse food. And kill Eikthyr by using your geared character in your previous map.
You can freely switch characters between maps.

Thats all i can come up with, i hope it helps in some way.

Thanks for the response. I was geared up, flaming arrows, etc. I just got tangled up running with boars chasing me and lost situational awareness and focus. I had him to one-half health an fell in a ravine where I was a restricted in movement.
