How to Summon The Queen

OfferingCraft a Sealbreaker — first fight needs no offering
Where to find itCraft the Sealbreaker from 9× Sealbreaker fragment at a Galdr Table, then use it on the door of an Infested Citadel. The Sealbreaker is not consumed — it's reusable. Fragments sit in glowing blue glass displays throughout Infested Mines. The first fight needs no sacrifice; to re-summon, place 3× Seeker Soldier trophy on the hive seat at the top.
Altar locationShe's fought inside the Infested Citadel dungeon in the Mistlands. The nearest Citadel is marked by Vegvisirs found inside Infested Mines.

How to Beat The Queen

⚠ Recent content: The Queen (Mistlands) is one of Valheim's newest bosses, so its tuning — HP, drops, the best gear — can shift with patches. The mechanics below are current to the post-Ashlands wiki; we re-verify after every major update. Trust the live game if something has changed.
Boss HP12,500
Recommended gearCarapace armour (melee) or the Eitr-weave set (magic), a Wisplight to see through the floor mist, and a Feather cape — its Feather Fall negates the fatal fall damage from her knockback off the Citadel tiers.
Weak toNo specific weakness — but she has no magic resistance, so staves are very effective.
Resists🏹 Pierce (bows and crossbows are weaker here).
Immune to👻 Spirit, Chop, Pickaxe.

Attacks to watch

Step-by-step strategy

1

Bring Poison Resistance mead, Major Healing mead, and pop the Bonemass power — her adds and poison chew through you otherwise.

2

Magic is the easier route: Eitr-weave set + a Staff of Embers kept at range shreds the Seeker waves and damages her, with no resistance to soak it.

3

Melee? Carapace + Feather cape, and land big single hits (Krom or Mistwalker) — her knockback breaks up combos, so pin her against a wall/pillar or time dodge-rolls to negate it.

4

The arena entrance is a hard safe zone — she won't attack you there. Duck in to heal; existing adds follow but no new ones spawn until you re-aggro.

5

Keep the Wisplight on — you can't see her through the floor mist without it.

Drops & Forsaken Power

TrophyThe Queen trophy
MaterialsMajestic carapace ×5
What it unlocksMajestic carapace is end-Mistlands crafting material. Killing her also opens the path to the Ashlands and its altar loop.
🔮 Forsaken Power — The Queen: Eitr regeneration +100%, poison resistance, and −100% sneak stamina cost for 5 minutes. The best magic-user power — and a big help against Fader. Mount the trophy on the Sacrificial Stones at spawn to use it; powers last 5 minutes and buff nearby allies too.

The Queen FAQ

How do you summon The Queen in Valheim?
Craft a Sealbreaker from 9 Sealbreaker fragments at a Galdr Table, then use it on an Infested Citadel door in the Mistlands. Fragments are in blue glass displays inside Infested Mines. The Sealbreaker is reusable, and the first fight needs no sacrifice.
How do you beat The Queen?
Magic is easiest — an Eitr-weave set and Staff of Embers at range, since she has no magic resistance. Bring a Wisplight to see, a Feather cape to survive her knockback, poison and healing meads, and the Bonemass power. The arena entrance is a safe zone to heal in.
What does The Queen drop?
Majestic carapace (end-Mistlands crafting) and the Queen Forsaken Power: +100% Eitr regen, poison resistance and free sneaking. Her death also opens the way to the Ashlands.
