The Seeker Queen, the formidable sixth boss of Valheim, is a challenging encounter that awaits brave Vikings in the mysterious Mistlands. Unlike some of the earlier bosses, summoning the Queen isn’t as straightforward as finding an altar and making an offering. You must first delve into the depths of the infested citadels and defeat her in an initial battle. Once vanquished, you can then re-summon the Queen using a specific method. This guide will walk you through the entire process of spawning, defeating, and re-summoning the Seeker Queen in Valheim.
Initial Encounter: Finding and Defeating the Queen
Locating an Infested Citadel
To initially encounter the Seeker Queen, you’ll need to navigate to the Mistlands biome. The Queen resides within Infested Citadels, towering structures that are heavily guarded by various Seeker enemies. These citadels are easily identifiable on the map, but reaching them requires careful planning, preparation, and a fully upgraded base with high-tier armor.
Gaining Entry: The Sealbreaker
Before you can confront the Queen, you’ll need to find a way into the citadel. You won’t be able to simply open the doors; instead, you require a Sealbreaker. Sealbreakers are crafted using materials found within the Mistlands, including Black Metal, Yggdrasil Wood, and Soft Tissue. This is a crucial item and ensures that you are ready to take on the challenges that await inside the citadels and beyond.
The Queen’s Initial Appearance
Once inside the citadel, the Seeker Queen won’t be in plain view. Instead, she’ll spawn on the lower floor and will begin to wander around until aggroed. This moment is your cue to prepare for a hard-fought battle. Remember, the Queen is a very powerful boss and should only be attempted when you’re well-equipped and have a thorough understanding of the game’s mechanics.
Defeating the Queen
The Seeker Queen is a challenging foe, employing various attacks and summoning smaller Seeker Soldiers to aid her. Ensure you are well-prepared with top-tier armor like the Padded Armor set or Eitr Weave Armor, potent weapons like the Arbalest or Blackmetal Sword, and plenty of healing and stamina potions. Be mindful of her attacks and take your time to learn her patterns. She is very aggressive and will not make it easy on you.
Re-Summoning the Seeker Queen
The Hive Seat
After you’ve defeated the Queen for the first time, you can summon her again. To do this, you’ll need to return to the Citadel, and ascend to the very top. Here, you’ll find the Hive Seat. This is the designated place for re-summoning the Queen, and serves as the second and final step in summoning her.
Offering Trophies
To re-summon the Queen, you must offer 3 Seeker Soldier trophies at the Hive Seat. These trophies are obtained by defeating Seeker Soldier enemies within the Mistlands. They are a common drop from the smaller Seeker enemies so be prepared to fight a few to get all that is needed. Once you have all three trophies, simply interact with the Hive Seat to trigger the summoning.
The Re-Spawned Queen
Offering three trophies at the Hive Seat will cause the Queen to re-spawn within the citadel, ready for another challenging battle. She will spawn back in the same location on the lower levels of the citadels and will be ready for your return. This process allows you to farm the Queen’s drops and test out new combat tactics.
