Walkthrough
- 1Gear Up: Craft a Bronze or Iron armor set. Ensure you have a good shield (e.g., Bronze Shield, Iron Shield) and a strong melee weapon (e.g., Iron Axe, Battleaxe). A Poison Resistance Mead is highly recommended.
- 2Gather Supplies: Stock up on healing items (Cooked Meat, Berries, Honey) and Stamina items. Bring plenty of arrows if you plan to use a bow.
- 3Locate the Crypts: The Swamp is filled with Sunken Crypts. You'll need a Swamp Key (dropped by The Elder) to open them.
- 4Mine Iron: Inside the Sunken Crypts, you will find Iron Scrap. This is the primary resource for upgrading your gear to face Bonemass. Be wary of Draugr, Blobs, and other Swamp enemies.
- 5Craft the Wisp Fountain: Once you have enough Iron, craft a Wisp Fountain to locate Bonemass's altar.
- 6Summon Bonemass: Bring 3 specific items (found in Sunken Crypts) to Bonemass's altar and summon the boss.
Tips
