Eventually, all Valheim players must face various bosses, such as Bonemass. To help beat bosses like Bonemass, players also need to learn what these bosses are weak to and how to best use it against them.
What damage types is Bonemass weak to in Valheim?
Bonemass is primarily weak to Frost damage and Blunt attacks, so the best way to beat them is to either one or both damage types. We recommend making weapons such as Frostner, which features both damage types. Another decent weapon would be the Demolisher, which features extreme levels of blunt damage. Here's how to craft both items in Valheim:
- How to craft Frostner - To craft Frostner in Valhiem, you need 10 Ancient Bark, 30 Silver, five Ymir Flesh, and five Freeze Glands. You also need to have a Forge upgraded to the max level.
- How to upgrade Frostner - You can upgrade Frostner using large amounts of Silver. Here is the total resource requirement below:

Also, check Crypts thoroughly to find Bonemass's runestone, which reveals the location of his shrine. When you find the shrine's location, use 10 Withered Bones to summon Bonemass at his Shrine.
Tips for Beating Bonemass in Valheim
Besides using blunt and forest-damage weapons, we recommend following the tips listed below to help beat Bonemass in Valheim.
- Don't rely on Range damage - Bows can be alright to kill most bosses, but Bonemass has high resistance to pierce, which tends to be the primary damage type of all bows.
- Bring Poison Resistance Meads - Bonemass is a big poison blob with attacks that reflect it, so we recommend using Poison Restaince meads to counter his poison attacks.
- Roll! - Rolling and dogging can help you avoid most of Bonemass's annoying attacks.
- Make decent armor - Use at least Iron, Wolf, or any applicable armor to survive Bonemass's fight.
