Helpful tips for beating Abominations in Valheim

  • Have a tank: If you are playing in a group, a helpful way to beat Abominations is to have one player, with decent armor and a shield, tank all of the damage and keep the monster's attention. While the monster is focused on the tank, have one or more players unleash volley after volley of fire arrows.
  • Use cover: If you have a bow and arrows, you will need to find cover either in a ruined building or rock. When in cover, fire arrows at the monster from safety.
