In this tutorial, I will guide you through the basics of battling boars, an essential skill to master if you want to survive in the harsh wilderness of Valheim. Boars are a common enemy in the game, and they are an excellent opponent to practice your fighting skills against, as they have a predictable attack pattern, making it easier for you to anticipate their moves and counterattack.

However, despite their seemingly simple attack pattern, boars can be quite dangerous, hitting hard and capable of killing you in just a few hits if you have no food or armor. Therefore, it is essential to learn the right techniques to defeat them without taking too much damage. In this tutorial, we will cover the necessary equipment and strategies for fighting boars, including how to dodge their attacks and when to strike.

Boar are relatively blind creatures; so you usually need to get fairly close to them to get noticed. Once the boar notices you; it will chase you forever! Use this to advantage and have the boar chase you somewhere open. In Valheim you should not fight in cluttered areas; it is much easier to die. Always lure your enemies into an opening to fight them.

Boars have a certain attack pattern. The boar will circle around you before charging once and attacking you when it gets within range. The boar will not attack you a second time. The pattern will repeat, with the boar running a circle around you before trying to attack you once. The best time to attack the boar is right after he attacks you; before he starts to run away.

Once you learn this basic pattern; fighting boar becomes a breeze!
