Easy workaround for carrying metals/dragon eggs etc: Firstly, make two worlds. One will be your Game World, the other your Supply World. In the Game World, you play the game. In your Supply World, just set up a house, workbench, forge and tons of storage. For an example of how this exploit works, imagine I am exploring a mountain biome, and come across a dragon egg. I pick it up and I'm encumbered. No problem. Log out and log into Supply World. Drop Egg in storage. Log out and log into Game World. Done. Rinse and repeat. When you need the eggs, just get to the altar, log out and get all three eggs from Supply World. Log back in to Game World and you are good to go. This exploit makes me feel much better than using the console. Btw you can also escape battles and reheal in supply world, fix weapons etc. Tons of uses.
For people who are having trouble finding Moder or the vegvisir that shows Moder I have a piece of advice that was invaluable in my group's playthrough: It seems as though there are two different kinds of mountain biomes. There are tiny mountains found in the center of most islands you'll find in your world, and there are rather large mountain biomes that almost dominate entire islands. My piece of advice is that you sail until you find a mountain range that is massive compared to the other mountains biomes that are more common. Invariably I've found there are far more dragon eggs, more ruins, more frost caves, more silver nodes, more everything in the larger biomes. I know that's rather obvious since more mountain = more spawns but I'm confident that those tiny groups of mountains must be programmed to behave differently because the sheer quantity of spawns per square area occupied on the map is 100% larger in the bigger mountain biomes. There must be a threshold the game handles that dictates if a mountain biome is smaller than x, don't spawn anything there. Just my piece of advice! If you're looking to build, stick to a smaller mountain biome. If you're trying to find anything of use, head to a massive mountain and completely skip landing on islands that only have a couple of peaks.
My first Moder fight spawned on the smallest patch of mountain that I've ever seen before, i was so mad cuz it was a patch small enough that i could've sprinted across it in like 45 seconds with no jumping and surrounded by meadows 😂
If you get Meginjord and travel light you should be able to carry 2 dragon eggs at the same time since it raise the carry weight limit to 450 which can drastically reduce the amount of yeeting needed.
I was transporting all my eggs on my boat to a close base near the spawn point... serpent came, destroyed my boat and killed me, I swear she smelled them...
Thanks for this - just did Moder for the first time. of course 2 ice golems spawned as I was preparing so I had to kill those before starting. and of course one appeared after i ate and just before summoning so I had that to deal with during the fight.. and I forgot my frost potion.. but still did it - yay :)
I literally just explored the biggest mountain I could see from my longship. The summoning area was at the top and there were 3 eggs on the same mountain within easy walking distance. Then I soloed Moder without terraforming or building a thing. I just kited the ice missiles which hit me a couple of times for only 30 damage. The frost breath hit for around 20 and with Bonemass power the physical attacks only did around 15. Beating on her with a sword is way faster than arrows. The fight was only challenging at the end when a stone golem and a drake didn't wait their turn. All told it took around 5 minutes to finish which was convenient because that was right when my power deactivated.
Thanks for posting this. It made me realize I don't want to kill that boss. I felt bad enough killing the first two bosses and this would be too much for me. Going to just build stuff and explore from now on. Maybe start up a game in creative mode with tame on instead.
1:10 Need the wolf cape to enter mountains need silver for wolf cape silver is in the mountains... I was starting to think this was a catch 22 so thank you for your mountain biome vid. very thorough and informative! much obliged! 😀😀 👍👍
Great Guide! My World spawned Moder far beyond the Plains and deep into Mistlands, so one-shotting her made it worth it! One thing I would add: Build a Fire near the underside of the Altar, resting is 200% Health 300% Stam regen and the Rested buff will proc and keep refreshing too (also possible during the Elder fight. I'm sure they'll patch out Resting applying while in combat eventually)
I don't think they will. Cuz fighting a boss without rested bonus is like 100 times tougher. Plus you can make a portal. Get rested bonus from your base then kill the boss
@@nouman3895 I meant the Resting Effect being active while in combat (300% Stam Regen) The normal rested bonus I agree with you on. I'll clarify in my original post.
A tip if you're struggling to get Wolf Trophy for Wolf Cape , you can kite LOX (takes alooot of time) and then make Lox Cape which prevents you from taking frost damage , you still need silver tough
I was getting iron from a swamp biome that bordered a mountain region. This was the first mountain region I briefly explored because I wanted a wolf cape (I didn’t know it required silver and I didn’t have the wishbone at the time. Found a rune that showed me the location of moder before I even finished bonemass. In one day I killed bonemass, went to moder location, found 3 eggs on her mountain and used the belt to carry them one by one. I hadn’t watched this video and somehow killed her without this method using bonemass resistance, 3xgood health meals and quite a few meads. It took a while, I nearly used all my rested buff but I was only using fully upgraded iron gear along with a level 3 wolf cape.
Another tip is to create a TP close to each boss battle, that way you can travel there quickly in case you either die or need more supplies. Also if you just need to get away for a bit to regen or give your mind a second to regroup its nice to have the ability to do so Plus if you want to replay a boss then you have easy/fast access to them.
You could yeet the dragon egg, or you could log into a different server where you're beside a chest, put it in there, log back into your other server and repeat this til 3 eggs are in a chest, then go to the sacrificial table, log out and get the 3 eggs and then log back into your server and place them. This is definitely less time consuming than going down the mountain with each one.
@@host_arnold6187 Is it though? Because using the cheats in the game would be cheating. Using the ability to switch servers which is given to you by the creators would not be classed as cheating.
Like people say here, 10 + mountains to find the Moder Register location, and a lot of mountains to find 3 eggs that can't be teleported, a looooooooot of pain, they should buff this
First mountain biome I found I found the locator which led me to a different continent and there were three dragon eggs on it lucked out after reading the comments.
If you haven't defeated Bonemass yet; make sure you have plenty of poison resist mead, healing mead and stamina mead with you because you'll be doing a lot of running around during the fight. I'd also suggest alternating attacks. When he focuses on 1 player; the other 1 should get in behind him and attack with a blunt weapon. This fight is really about hit and run. Hope this helps 😊👍.
@@awesomedog1415 when the poison ticks for 6 dmg for 20 secs, you better get one. Poison res isn't tough to get anyway, requiring only 10 honey, 5 thistles, 1 lizard tail and 10 coal
mh, in terms of transportation you could also just get a seed with a mountain biome close by, pickup the egg and logout to your main world, where you ideally stand next to the altar already, eggs in inventory
using wooden arrows is just fine, as your using hundreds of them, and this will save your loads of materials. also i used the iron sledge hammer down in the trench whenever she landed on platform. lastly, a small tip is to pick up all three dragon eggs, then log out, enter another seed, drop them in a chest, the log back into your mother seed, and move into position, then log out and pick up eggs again. when you return to your mother seed u have all 3 eggs and spawning on the altar. Also: please google valheim seed viewer if you cant find her.
finding her was the worst part, I'd been dragging eggs around only to have 3 on her mountain, so my advice would be once you know the location go to it directly, see how many eggs are on her mountain.
I defeat her with my grandparents and I didn’t die once, I was the one who told them moder’s weaknesses and hat armour and weapons are required for this, once she is on the ground I use my sword and shield and took her on in melee combat, the second she charges up her attack I hold my shield up to block the incoming attack.
Instead of throwing the egg down the slope, just do the following, end the session enter another world make a chest and place the egg, so when you return to your main world and are in a safe place just go back to the world that is the egg and catch. The character's inventory as well as the character itself remains the same when going to different worlds, so it is possible to use this advantage to "transport" items.
u better use debugmode - cheat code then fly and get all the eggs. it's the same sense as logging in and out to a different seed. ESO is posting this guide on how it is best to do it legitimately. If you're lazy about doing things manually, then we are losing the sense of the game.
"...If you're excited to play Skyrim... " @0:40. Why are you messing with me man! I'm trying to take my toddler/old man afternoon nap! Thanks for all the tips and tricks... I couldn't waste so much time so enjoyably without them.
If you want to get technical, the wyvern/dragon discussion rings true. BUT. Many popular dragons in various IP's have wyverns as big baddies, but they are called dragons. Smaug for example. Or the Hungarian Horntail from Harry Potter. A dragon is a gigantic lizard that can fly (usually because it has wings!) that has a great amount of power.
Honestly, this boss was super easy with just a shield and sword. You can melee her when she lands on the ground and get good damage. If you block her attacks with the shield, you’ll take minimal damage. Make sure you are fully rested though.
Tip: Once you find a dragon egg pick it up then logout, create a new world, once you spawn setup a workbench with a chest nearby, and then offload the dragon eggs in the chest. Once you get to Moder's spawner in your main world logout then go back to the other world and pickup all three eggs before going back to your main world. It's less tedious, but you'll lose any buffs you have like rested, frost resist, poison resist, etc. whenever you logout.
My friend and I found her location by accident while being chased by drakes and wolves. Plus, what people called “tricks & tips” to kill the bosses sometimes are the only way to kill them since the surrounding geographic are merciless to the players. It does not applied to locals enemy thou since fulings, wolves or whatever can killed you with the same amount of hits as the bosses and there are almost no preparations that can be done since they appeared out of nowhere and there are so many.
small cheese strat for the eggs. have a second world where your character is standing next to a chest. you can spawn in overweight and just add the egg to the chest once you have three eggs in the chest run your character to the boss arena and then switch worlds to grab the eggs. then switch worlds again and start the fight. all the loading screens are much better than walking three eggs around.
A nifty trick I’ve found for moving the eggs is to collect them, log off, log onto another world with a chest, deposit the eggs, teleport or travel to where ever on the original world, and then log back on to wherever and pick up the egg and then move back to the first world
Instead of rolling the egg down the mountain just have the stuff to make a portal and have a separate world. Leave your world with the dragon egg(s) put them in the chest in the other world, go back to your world take the portal to where you need it to be. Leave and take the eggs from the other world and load back into your main and you will have them wherever you need them to be. Btw that's just a theory since that's how I transport my iron.
If you want to cheese it to the point of absolute ridiculousness, I recommend playing several worlds, having a homw world, a world with an easy moder spawn and others with easy to accsess vast mountain biomes. collect an egg, log into your home world to secure it, repeat until you have three eggs, then visit moders spawn in your boss fight world and spawn moder. Bonus: fighting bosses in one world, does not trigger events other worlds, so your home world will never go beyond Eykthir's event. This method also makes farming ridiculous, as it allows the player to just jump across worlds with ores, even above the weight limit.
Respect for the video but transportation can be cheesed way easier. Basically every time you find an egg log out, then log into a new world and build a chest. Put the egg in the chest. Do this with all 3 eggs then when you get to the moder summoning in your main world log back out and then into the world with your chest and take the eggs. Then log out and back into your main world = profit. It’s cheesy but it’s way way way easier than trying to run all 3 eggs up a mountain lol.
ESO must be so happy he's playin and earning in this game which technically has the same gameplay and type of content as Skyrim, which is not releasing anytime soon. Congrats ESO
you often mention cheese methods.. I've never heard you mention the ultimate cheese in this game.. Create a second world with a chest at the stonehenge spawn. Log out, drop eggs/metal, log back in. portal back to base, log again and retrieve your items.
If you play solo just use the server hop mechanic! Make a second server, you will spawn in it with your currend inventory, build a chest and place your eggs in it. Then go tho the Bossspawn and go get your eggs from your second server.
I would definitely recommend building repair tables someplace safe for boss fights. My draugr bow broke with about 1/4 of the dragons health bar left, and no materials with me to make a forge. Luckily I was able to wear down the rest of its heath by abusing the AOE of my iron sledge while still hiding out of reach.
I play in groups mostly and always put a portal up when killing Elder and later bosses. I set this up so we have an easy ride to the fight, ability to repair weapons/armour or get your body if you die during the fight.
If you want an easier way. Just log out with the egg on inventory and load it to another world. put a chest and put it there. When you get back home, log out, get the egg and go back to original server
Just log out. Log into random seed create a small base in random seed separate from the one you play filled with boxes. Save the seed as backpack. When ever your weighted with metal or other heavy stuff like drake eggs that cant me taken threw portal just log out where you are and log into backpack seed store what you want then log out and back into home seed.Also helpfull to have lvl 2 workbench and forge in separate seed. Potions,food, mead,ammo so you can always have access to these things on the go. Hope this helps you guys.
Every body knows about this, the reason people don't do it because its just a more convoluted way of cheating and you might as well open up the console and start typing.
after 480 mins the eggs will re-spawn meaning the 3 sacrificed eggs hatched in the reverse form of how Moder spawns they just manifest in a different mountain biome find a mate and and lay eggs.
hi. lil hack here. pick up egg. log out. start game in a separate world. put egg in chest.(or just drop it). log out. start game in main world. teleport to base. log out. start again in spare world. grab egg. log out. start game in main world. i just stashed 3 eggs in spare world then used one trip to get all 3 to base. sounds a lil odd but it is a thousand times faster.
Or a Lox Cape to survive the cold. Would have like the Wolf Cape but did care for the Wolf head wrapped around my head when it should have been able to be worn like a helmet. Just my preference though would have made a great Helmet.
moder is a wyvern, even in skyrim they label them as dragons because well its easier to just label them like that cuz not everyone knows wyvern and other types of the dragonic family
Dragons have been depicted with only two legs (or even no legs), so i think it's just artistic license because at the end of the day it's a fictitious creature. I mean game of thrones dragons were wyverns by your definition
Had a chuckle at the start of the video where you start off calling her "him" for the first half of the video then googled it and realised what her name meant. Tbf I wouldn't of known be we had someone on discord while we did it explain what the name meant because he speaks the language it came from.
@UCsnzKw4gtaP7zm1zbRVkSpA Not really. » Short version: It all depends on how you want to call them. Most people considered the standard for dragons to have 2 legs in Europe until the last century and the few people who knew the term just considered wyverns to be a way to call some dragons. Wyvern myths weren't as widespread and almost fell into oblivion, but yet you had more chance of seeing a quadrupedal design for a wyvern than for a dragon. Still, most were just depicted with 2 legs. Basically Wyverns are celtic-frankish in origin while Dragons popularised with romance-christian, and muslim influence and trade popularised the 4 legs design that was more common in Asia. » Long version: Both indeed kinda come from different myths, but it got twisted and this concept was claimed thanks to people taking stuff like Dungeons & Dragons and JRPG too serious, but to put it simply: dragons were more often depicted in Europe as having 2 legs only (and no horns even), while the 4 legs design came mostly from the Near East (which in turn comes from ancient Mesopotamia and the Far Eastern designs). The oldest "western dragon" design I know is from around the year 800 in what is today Uzbekistan or Turkmenistan. Originally, dragons in Europe were even depicted as small like wolves, and had often wolf heads, probably, IMHO, from those Dacian standards that the romans loved to yoink to show the triumph of a legion, and such standard was called 'Draco', meaning serpent, for how it was basically the shape of the thing, with a wolf head, carried on a stick. Those eventually got kinda adopted by some roman legions in the following centuries. With the advent of christianism, it probably got absorbed and twisted to fit concepts of demons. Dragons often appeared in Christian mythology as corrupting and violating people and as being emissaries of Satan. On the other hand, continental celtic cultures had some love for snakes (and this is preserved even in contemporary folklore in regions such as Asturias, Cantabria, with myths like the Cuélebre). It happened that celtic cultures got simply kinda supplanted by romanisation, and later, in the middle ages, by germanic and gothic cultures, like the Suebi in Northwestern Iberia and the Visigoths in the rest of the peninsula; or the Franks (germanic peoples) in the northern half of France. There's no surviving piece of art showing such, but it was described that the Suebi Kingdom had a "dragon" or "wyvern" in their flag. If it had 4 or 2 legs (or even no legs at all), nobody knows, but it was almost 3 centuries prior to the recorded first usage in Welsh symbolism, which iirc had something to do with a resistance against the saxon invasions. Being a celtic symbol, it's most likely that it would be better categorised as a wyvern. The currently known red "dragon" comes from a kinda oppressive symbolism by the Tudors on occasions to show the conquest and rule over Wales. This is the big issue in trying to trace the historical designs of such myths, as there's basically no surviving depiction; only texts provided by external sources, often written decades to centuries after, propagated for a long time by spoken words until finally registered on paper. It's even funny to think that wyverns were depicted as having 4 legs a lot more often than dragons, but the main difference is really that wyverns come from celtic influence and their likes for snake myths, but for some reason at one point in the late 1500s people started standardising the arrow-tipped tail for wyverns, and that only got ported into dragon designs later. Fire-breathing trait only came to Europe from the influence of Islam. I read once from an author that this trait could be a mistranslation of venomous bite, akin to "fiery mouth" implying that the bite caused a burning sensation, probably from venom, instead of actual fire. But you know what would look more interesting when told. Greek fire was a thing known to the Eastern Romans (aka "Byzantines") in the middle ages. Just as it was more interesting for some to tell of a dragon, instead of being a puppy-sized evil critter but big as the behemoth of Hebrew mythology. Still, it's not like people really cared for differentiating myths and stuff since, unlike pop culture tries to portray, people in the middle ages didn't really believe in anything like that coming to them in a lifetime and it can be said that they were much more concerned about mundane things than fantasy, which was left most often to poets and storytellers, that just adapted it within their artistic freedom, to fit what was popular at the time. The norse actually didn't even consider winged dragon myths and that idea only arrived there in fairly modern times.
I'm no expert on that, btw. Just got curious once, but I can say with confidence that it all depends on how you want to call a design. There's absolutely no standard and countless cultures merged to make modern myths and designs.
Built a base from a old structure took a bit of time cuz I thought I'd be spending alot of time looking for eggs well the boss spawn was right above my base alongside 3 dragons eggs lmfao
I got extremely lucky during the whole dragon egg fiasco. I found a huge mountain biome and it had 4 dragon egg spawner and the boss summoner. One nest was right next to the summoner. I managed to summon the boss with ease, then she one shots me with her frost breath attack.....
It took me, NO JOKE, eight hours to come close to its location because I couldn't find a map with moder closer than hundreds of miles away. (it's because of the newest version idk why doe) the problem isn't getting or transporting the eggs, just do some world hopping, have all three eggs ready to be taken, then take them all until over encumbered and go back to the world where you're at the altar its that simple.
Eso you ever consider doing audio book readings? I need more then the skyrim book readings 😂 I'd kill to buy a warhammer 40k audiobook if you voiced it lol
Hey,but it is easier to take an egg Enter another server The put an egg in chest Enter your server and teleport home The return to another server for egg Ant move it to your server But they might mixed it
Really nice guide, worked for me also. I went through around 160 fire arrows, same bow and bow level (max). However, I also used the Iron Sledge when Moder was sitting on the platform trying to bite my head off. The splash damage did quite a bit of damage also, otherwise I would have been slightly concerned about my bow disintegrating in my hands. So might be advisable to bring a spare bow for good measure.
Wyverns are a subset of dragons and dragons have all kinds of historical forms from a European dog-like creatures to Asian serpentine creatures, to the modern(ish) D&D interpretation. Basically, saying "that's a wyvern not a dragon" is akin to saying "that's a cat not a mammal". Then if you ever use the phrase "real dragon", you just silly.
I agree 100 percent with your explanation. A wyvern is the Norse equivalent of what others call a dragon. The number of legs and whether or not the beast has wings is simply a convenience that suits the lore of a particular culture.
I did the trench tactic and moder turbed me into minced meat. Might have done something wrong. Shes rather easy to beat normally tho. Just make sure to flatten a circle around the spawn to be able to run freely from her ice spikes. An wheb she lands go and use a sword on her
@@quietboy2191 For my buddy and I we fought Moder three times and all three was a very boring fight. Very few attacks while we pelted Moder with arrows, the first fight Moder just sat there on the side of the mountain for half the fight doing nothing.

A tip if you're struggling to get Wolf Trophy for Wolf Cape , you can kite LOX (takes alooot of time) and then make Lox Cape which prevents you from taking frost damage , you still need silver tough
I was getting iron from a swamp biome that bordered a mountain region. This was the first mountain region I briefly explored because I wanted a wolf cape (I didn’t know it required silver and I didn’t have the wishbone at the time. Found a rune that showed me the location of moder before I even finished bonemass. In one day I killed bonemass, went to moder location, found 3 eggs on her mountain and used the belt to carry them one by one. I hadn’t watched this video and somehow killed her without this method using bonemass resistance, 3xgood health meals and quite a few meads. It took a while, I nearly used all my rested buff but I was only using fully upgraded iron gear along with a level 3 wolf cape.
Another tip is to create a TP close to each boss battle, that way you can travel there quickly in case you either die or need more supplies. Also if you just need to get away for a bit to regen or give your mind a second to regroup its nice to have the ability to do so
Plus if you want to replay a boss then you have easy/fast access to them.
Also have some frost mead at your base, if you die you won’t have your armor which means you’re going to take a lot of damage
You could yeet the dragon egg, or you could log into a different server where you're beside a chest, put it in there, log back into your other server and repeat this til 3 eggs are in a chest, then go to the sacrificial table, log out and get the 3 eggs and then log back into your server and place them. This is definitely less time consuming than going down the mountain with each one.
Was just about to comment this
That's cheating
@@host_arnold6187 Is it though? Because using the cheats in the game would be cheating. Using the ability to switch servers which is given to you by the creators would not be classed as cheating.
Fun fact: Moder is a mother. You're slaughtering her eggs to summon her.
yes
Moder literally means Mother so yes
Same with elder, you sacrifice their young
I do not feel bad.
@@Zaravella heartless monster
Like people say here, 10 + mountains to find the Moder Register location, and a lot of mountains to find 3 eggs that can't be teleported, a looooooooot of pain, they should buff this
I went across the sea and located more than 5 mountains, only to find the moder marker on the mountain biome near my main base. fml
Pretty sure that's Alduin.
Dragonborn
What in Oblivion is that?!
“Mul Qah Diiv”
I laughed so hard at "then you just YEET it over the mountain edge"
Yeeeeet
First mountain biome I found I found the locator which led me to a different continent and there were three dragon eggs on it lucked out after reading the comments.
I havent even defeated the 3rd boss with my dad, yet i still watch this like im going to go after it at this moment
If you haven't defeated Bonemass yet; make sure you have plenty of poison resist mead, healing mead and stamina mead with you because you'll be doing a lot of running around during the fight. I'd also suggest alternating attacks. When he focuses on 1 player; the other 1 should get in behind him and attack with a blunt weapon. This fight is really about hit and run. Hope this helps 😊👍.
@@zarakikon6352 do you have to make poison resistance? im just really lazy lol
@@awesomedog1415 when the poison ticks for 6 dmg for 20 secs, you better get one. Poison res isn't tough to get anyway, requiring only 10 honey, 5 thistles, 1 lizard tail and 10 coal
Did ya'll get him?
Hey Eso, keep up the good work!
mh, in terms of transportation you could also just get a seed with a mountain biome close by, pickup the egg and logout to your main world, where you ideally stand next to the altar already, eggs in inventory
For Xbox players you can use a wolf chest plate
The chest piece also grants the same frost resist as the cloak. So you can prioritize the higher armor item of 20 AC chest instead of 1 AC cloak
using wooden arrows is just fine, as your using hundreds of them, and this will save your loads of materials. also i used the iron sledge hammer down in the trench whenever she landed on platform. lastly, a small tip is to pick up all three dragon eggs, then log out, enter another seed, drop them in a chest, the log back into your mother seed, and move into position, then log out and pick up eggs again. when you return to your mother seed u have all 3 eggs and spawning on the altar. Also: please google valheim seed viewer if you cant find her.
Great video! I think this will be very helpful! just a fun fact though Moder means "mother" in sweedish, so she is a she not a he.
finding her was the worst part, I'd been dragging eggs around only to have 3 on her mountain, so my advice would be once you know the location go to it directly, see how many eggs are on her mountain.
Almost every time I find her summon spot, I have 3 eggs on that mountain also.
I defeat her with my grandparents and I didn’t die once, I was the one who told them moder’s weaknesses and hat armour and weapons are required for this, once she is on the ground I use my sword and shield and took her on in melee combat, the second she charges up her attack I hold my shield up to block the incoming attack.
What*
Instead of throwing the egg down the slope, just do the following, end the session enter another world make a chest and place the egg, so when you return to your main world and are in a safe place just go back to the world that is the egg and catch. The character's inventory as well as the character itself remains the same when going to different worlds, so it is possible to use this advantage to "transport" items.
u better use debugmode - cheat code then fly and get all the eggs. it's the same sense as logging in and out to a different seed. ESO is posting this guide on how it is best to do it legitimately. If you're lazy about doing things manually, then we are losing the sense of the game.
Ive searched multiple mountains and havn't found one location stone
Im at like 10+ mountains, still no location stone. Im starting to worry....
@@akaiba5285 there's a website that shows you the full map for each seed valheim-map(dot)world
You got me hooked for the whole video. When is it coming out? Thumbs up 👍
"...If you're excited to play Skyrim... " @0:40. Why are you messing with me man! I'm trying to take my toddler/old man afternoon nap!
Thanks for all the tips and tricks... I couldn't waste so much time so enjoyably without them.
I've actually got a secret channel where i upload skyrim tips and facts, its rather hard to find though =D
Just wanna point out that from 4-6 playthroughs I've found all three eggs on the mountain that had Moder on it.
If you want to get technical, the wyvern/dragon discussion rings true. BUT. Many popular dragons in various IP's have wyverns as big baddies, but they are called dragons. Smaug for example. Or the Hungarian Horntail from Harry Potter. A dragon is a gigantic lizard that can fly (usually because it has wings!) that has a great amount of power.
did you know that dragon eggs respawn so if there is some up mountain with moder they will respawn after 2 ingame days
Love your videos ESO
Honestly, this boss was super easy with just a shield and sword. You can melee her when she lands on the ground and get good damage. If you block her attacks with the shield, you’ll take minimal damage. Make sure you are fully rested though.
Tip: Once you find a dragon egg pick it up then logout, create a new world, once you spawn setup a workbench with a chest nearby, and then offload the dragon eggs in the chest. Once you get to Moder's spawner in your main world logout then go back to the other world and pickup all three eggs before going back to your main world. It's less tedious, but you'll lose any buffs you have like rested, frost resist, poison resist, etc. whenever you logout.
My friend and I found her location by accident while being chased by drakes and wolves. Plus, what people called “tricks & tips” to kill the bosses sometimes are the only way to kill them since the surrounding geographic are merciless to the players. It does not applied to locals enemy thou since fulings, wolves or whatever can killed you with the same amount of hits as the bosses and there are almost no preparations that can be done since they appeared out of nowhere and there are so many.
Good thing I had a portal close to the summoning altar. In midst battle my DraugrFang bow broke and needed repairs.
It's my birthday thanks for the tips and tricks for when I get it
Happy birthday
Happy Birthday!
Happy B'day !!!
Thank y'all
@@anthonyfish3327 got a reply from ESO, lucky
small cheese strat for the eggs. have a second world where your character is standing next to a chest. you can spawn in overweight and just add the egg to the chest once you have three eggs in the chest run your character to the boss arena and then switch worlds to grab the eggs. then switch worlds again and start the fight. all the loading screens are much better than walking three eggs around.
A nifty trick I’ve found for moving the eggs is to collect them, log off, log onto another world with a chest, deposit the eggs, teleport or travel to where ever on the original world, and then log back on to wherever and pick up the egg and then move back to the first world
@@eazy8579 that's the same thing he just said
That's what I do too. Much better than spending 15 minutes sailing
Great video. I am late to playing the game. Seems as most people were into a year ago or so. But thanks!
Instead of rolling the egg down the mountain just have the stuff to make a portal and have a separate world. Leave your world with the dragon egg(s) put them in the chest in the other world, go back to your world take the portal to where you need it to be. Leave and take the eggs from the other world and load back into your main and you will have them wherever you need them to be. Btw that's just a theory since that's how I transport my iron.
If you want to cheese it to the point of absolute ridiculousness, I recommend playing several worlds, having a homw world, a world with an easy moder spawn and others with easy to accsess vast mountain biomes. collect an egg, log into your home world to secure it, repeat until you have three eggs, then visit moders spawn in your boss fight world and spawn moder.
Bonus: fighting bosses in one world, does not trigger events other worlds, so your home world will never go beyond Eykthir's event.
This method also makes farming ridiculous, as it allows the player to just jump across worlds with ores, even above the weight limit.
Love your Yeet method 😂 I cannot believe after 350 hrs I never thought of that lol
Great video with great information thank you very much
Respect for the video but transportation can be cheesed way easier.
Basically every time you find an egg log out, then log into a new world and build a chest. Put the egg in the chest. Do this with all 3 eggs then when you get to the moder summoning in your main world log back out and then into the world with your chest and take the eggs. Then log out and back into your main world = profit.
It’s cheesy but it’s way way way easier than trying to run all 3 eggs up a mountain lol.
Wow, I had no idea how lucky I was with this. All eggs were on the mountain I happened to find the Moder Spawn, before activating the boss beacon.
nice! in the mountains depending where i am looking at my game drops to 21 fps so this tip will help me a lot vs him
her
ESO must be so happy he's playin and earning in this game which technically has the same gameplay and type of content as Skyrim, which is not releasing anytime soon.
Congrats ESO
you often mention cheese methods.. I've never heard you mention the ultimate cheese in this game.. Create a second world with a chest at the stonehenge spawn. Log out, drop eggs/metal, log back in. portal back to base, log again and retrieve your items.
If you play solo just use the server hop mechanic! Make a second server, you will spawn in it with your currend inventory, build a chest and place your eggs in it. Then go tho the Bossspawn and go get your eggs from your second server.
I would definitely recommend building repair tables someplace safe for boss fights. My draugr bow broke with about 1/4 of the dragons health bar left, and no materials with me to make a forge. Luckily I was able to wear down the rest of its heath by abusing the AOE of my iron sledge while still hiding out of reach.
I play in groups mostly and always put a portal up when killing Elder and later bosses. I set this up so we have an easy ride to the fight, ability to repair weapons/armour or get your body if you die during the fight.
It is game changing when you upgrade to the moder boat.
If you want an easier way. Just log out with the egg on inventory and load it to another world. put a chest and put it there. When you get back home, log out, get the egg and go back to original server
Hi @Eso , you can have frost resist too by crafting only a Silver chest, it took so long to get the wolf trophy and you know it :)
Just log out. Log into random seed create a small base in random seed separate from the one you play filled with boxes. Save the seed as backpack. When ever your weighted with metal or other heavy stuff like drake eggs that cant me taken threw portal just log out where you are and log into backpack seed store what you want then log out and back into home seed.Also helpfull to have lvl 2 workbench and forge in separate seed. Potions,food, mead,ammo so you can always have access to these things on the go. Hope this helps you guys.
Every body knows about this, the reason people don't do it because its just a more convoluted way of cheating and you might as well open up the console and start typing.
after 480 mins the eggs will re-spawn meaning the 3 sacrificed eggs hatched in the reverse form of how Moder spawns they just manifest in a different mountain biome find a mate and and lay eggs.
hi. lil hack here. pick up egg. log out. start game in a separate world. put egg in chest.(or just drop it). log out. start game in main world. teleport to base. log out. start again in spare world. grab egg. log out. start game in main world. i just stashed 3 eggs in spare world then used one trip to get all 3 to base. sounds a lil odd but it is a thousand times faster.
We are 3 and preparing to survive on the mountain then try to get her xD
Or a Lox Cape to survive the cold. Would have like the Wolf Cape but did care for the Wolf head wrapped around my head when it should have been able to be worn like a helmet. Just my preference though would have made a great Helmet.
moder is a wyvern, even in skyrim they label them as dragons because well its easier to just label them like that cuz not everyone knows wyvern and other types of the dragonic family
My bow will not fire out of trench i dug around spawn point.. arrows just keep hitting rock sides
Dragons have been depicted with only two legs (or even no legs), so i think it's just artistic license because at the end of the day it's a fictitious creature. I mean game of thrones dragons were wyverns by your definition
Thankfully I found all three of my eggs in three mountains.
Had a chuckle at the start of the video where you start off calling her "him" for the first half of the video then googled it and realised what her name meant. Tbf I wouldn't of known be we had someone on discord while we did it explain what the name meant because he speaks the language it came from.
Helpful guide!!!
This heaux murdered my party, then when we tried to run back, she straight ambushed us one by one while we ran back to our corpses.
after seeing all these comments about people struggling to find the Spawn im glad i found it in my 3rd mountain...never again
In many early Norse depictions, dragons like Nidhogg and Fafnir only had two legs. I think you're ok.
@UCsnzKw4gtaP7zm1zbRVkSpA Not really.
» Short version:
It all depends on how you want to call them. Most people considered the standard for dragons to have 2 legs in Europe until the last century and the few people who knew the term just considered wyverns to be a way to call some dragons. Wyvern myths weren't as widespread and almost fell into oblivion, but yet you had more chance of seeing a quadrupedal design for a wyvern than for a dragon. Still, most were just depicted with 2 legs. Basically Wyverns are celtic-frankish in origin while Dragons popularised with romance-christian, and muslim influence and trade popularised the 4 legs design that was more common in Asia.
» Long version:
Both indeed kinda come from different myths, but it got twisted and this concept was claimed thanks to people taking stuff like Dungeons & Dragons and JRPG too serious, but to put it simply: dragons were more often depicted in Europe as having 2 legs only (and no horns even), while the 4 legs design came mostly from the Near East (which in turn comes from ancient Mesopotamia and the Far Eastern designs). The oldest "western dragon" design I know is from around the year 800 in what is today Uzbekistan or Turkmenistan.
Originally, dragons in Europe were even depicted as small like wolves, and had often wolf heads, probably, IMHO, from those Dacian standards that the romans loved to yoink to show the triumph of a legion, and such standard was called 'Draco', meaning serpent, for how it was basically the shape of the thing, with a wolf head, carried on a stick. Those eventually got kinda adopted by some roman legions in the following centuries.
With the advent of christianism, it probably got absorbed and twisted to fit concepts of demons. Dragons often appeared in Christian mythology as corrupting and violating people and as being emissaries of Satan.
On the other hand, continental celtic cultures had some love for snakes (and this is preserved even in contemporary folklore in regions such as Asturias, Cantabria, with myths like the Cuélebre). It happened that celtic cultures got simply kinda supplanted by romanisation, and later, in the middle ages, by germanic and gothic cultures, like the Suebi in Northwestern Iberia and the Visigoths in the rest of the peninsula; or the Franks (germanic peoples) in the northern half of France. There's no surviving piece of art showing such, but it was described that the Suebi Kingdom had a "dragon" or "wyvern" in their flag. If it had 4 or 2 legs (or even no legs at all), nobody knows, but it was almost 3 centuries prior to the recorded first usage in Welsh symbolism, which iirc had something to do with a resistance against the saxon invasions. Being a celtic symbol, it's most likely that it would be better categorised as a wyvern. The currently known red "dragon" comes from a kinda oppressive symbolism by the Tudors on occasions to show the conquest and rule over Wales.
This is the big issue in trying to trace the historical designs of such myths, as there's basically no surviving depiction; only texts provided by external sources, often written decades to centuries after, propagated for a long time by spoken words until finally registered on paper.
It's even funny to think that wyverns were depicted as having 4 legs a lot more often than dragons, but the main difference is really that wyverns come from celtic influence and their likes for snake myths, but for some reason at one point in the late 1500s people started standardising the arrow-tipped tail for wyverns, and that only got ported into dragon designs later.
Fire-breathing trait only came to Europe from the influence of Islam. I read once from an author that this trait could be a mistranslation of venomous bite, akin to "fiery mouth" implying that the bite caused a burning sensation, probably from venom, instead of actual fire. But you know what would look more interesting when told. Greek fire was a thing known to the Eastern Romans (aka "Byzantines") in the middle ages. Just as it was more interesting for some to tell of a dragon, instead of being a puppy-sized evil critter but big as the behemoth of Hebrew mythology.
Still, it's not like people really cared for differentiating myths and stuff since, unlike pop culture tries to portray, people in the middle ages didn't really believe in anything like that coming to them in a lifetime and it can be said that they were much more concerned about mundane things than fantasy, which was left most often to poets and storytellers, that just adapted it within their artistic freedom, to fit what was popular at the time.
The norse actually didn't even consider winged dragon myths and that idea only arrived there in fairly modern times.
I'm no expert on that, btw. Just got curious once, but I can say with confidence that it all depends on how you want to call a design. There's absolutely no standard and countless cultures merged to make modern myths and designs.
@@naervern2107 This was an unexpected and super interesting comment. Thank you for that!
Built a base from a old structure took a bit of time cuz I thought I'd be spending alot of time looking for eggs well the boss spawn was right above my base alongside 3 dragons eggs lmfao
I got extremely lucky during the whole dragon egg fiasco. I found a huge mountain biome and it had 4 dragon egg spawner and the boss summoner. One nest was right next to the summoner.
I managed to summon the boss with ease, then she one shots me with her frost breath attack.....
It took me, NO JOKE, eight hours to come close to its location because I couldn't find a map with moder closer than hundreds of miles away. (it's because of the newest version idk why doe) the problem isn't getting or transporting the eggs, just do some world hopping, have all three eggs ready to be taken, then take them all until over encumbered and go back to the world where you're at the altar its that simple.
Eso you ever consider doing audio book readings? I need more then the skyrim book readings 😂 I'd kill to buy a warhammer 40k audiobook if you voiced it lol
Maybe a usefull tip: bring 250 arrows in total and a portal for repairing the bow 3 times while in the fight
Awesome!
Always tail wind?!??!??! I NEED THAT!
I get head wind 99% of the time I'm sailing. I swear the wind changes just to fuck with me.
Whenever I get tail wind it is always right when I need to turn around, or is immediately accompanied by stormy seas.
Something about Moder's movements on ground remind me of a Tigrex
Screw Tigrex
Hey,but it is easier to take an egg
Enter another server
The put an egg in chest
Enter your server and teleport home
The return to another server for egg
Ant move it to your server
But they might mixed it
Really nice guide, worked for me also. I went through around 160 fire arrows, same bow and bow level (max). However, I also used the Iron Sledge when Moder was sitting on the platform trying to bite my head off. The splash damage did quite a bit of damage also, otherwise I would have been slightly concerned about my bow disintegrating in my hands. So might be advisable to bring a spare bow for good measure.
Wyverns are a subset of dragons and dragons have all kinds of historical forms from a European dog-like creatures to Asian serpentine creatures, to the modern(ish) D&D interpretation. Basically, saying "that's a wyvern not a dragon" is akin to saying "that's a cat not a mammal". Then if you ever use the phrase "real dragon", you just silly.
I agree 100 percent with your explanation. A wyvern is the Norse equivalent of what others call a dragon. The number of legs and whether or not the beast has wings is simply a convenience that suits the lore of a particular culture.
thanks for the guide
Nice video! Just as information: you can also find moder in mountain caves, not just in stone structures.
I did the trench tactic and moder turbed me into minced meat. Might have done something wrong. Shes rather easy to beat normally tho. Just make sure to flatten a circle around the spawn to be able to run freely from her ice spikes. An wheb she lands go and use a sword on her
Our Moder was buggin in the trees around her platform so we just had free shots. Easiest boss so far.
The easiest is the first boss
@@quietboy2191 For my buddy and I we fought Moder three times and all three was a very boring fight. Very few attacks while we pelted Moder with arrows, the first fight Moder just sat there on the side of the mountain for half the fight doing nothing. I ran up and started meleeing Moder because it was just that dull.
