When Should I Fight the First Boss in Valheim?
Once you've crafted some leather armor, a wooden shield, and a decent weapon like a flint axe or a bow, you're ready to face Eikthyr! Also, don't forget to scout the area for a good spot that offers some cover.

From my experience, aim to defeat Eikthyr after you've built a base, acquired a shield, and have some food buffs to ensure your survivability.
Honestly, as soon as you have a bow and enough arrows, go for it! Eikthyr isn't too tough if you keep your distance.
Just YOLO it with a stone axe and raw willpower. You might surprise yourself!
