How Many Bosses Are in Valheim?

Wondering how many bosses are in Valheim? Valheim is a Viking survival game where players must use their ingenuity to endure the world around them. Bosses can be found in the different biomes that make up the procedurally generated world of Valheim.

While they are entirely optional, boss battles can yield large rewards for players who are up for the challenge. This includes a trophy for the boss and rare loot that can be used to craft powerful items and weapons. Defeating a boss also acquires their power, which can aid survival in the harsh Valheim environment.
