Every boss drops a trophy, and hanging it at the sacrificial stones unlocks a Forsaken Power. You can only have one active at a time, and swapping is free, so the real skill is knowing which to run when.
The powers
- Eikthyr. Big reduction to stamina use when running and jumping. The travel power, and superb early.
- The Elder. Faster tree chopping. Sounds dull, is excellent when you are gathering a lot of wood.
- Bonemass. Large physical damage resistance. The melee fight power, and arguably the best in the game.
- Moder. Constant favourable wind for sailing. Transforms long voyages.
- Yagluth. Elemental resistance, for fire, frost and lightning.
- The Queen. Reduced Eitr regeneration cost, for magic builds.
What to have active, when
- Exploring on foot: Eikthyr, every time.
- Sailing anywhere: Moder. It is the difference between a long trip and a very long one.
- Any melee boss: Bonemass.
- Chopping for a build: The Elder.
- Ashlands and elemental fights: Yagluth.
