Valheim has eight bosses, fought roughly in order: Eikthyr, The Elder, Bonemass, Moder, Yagluth, The Queen, Fader and the new final boss Kall Fimbulbringer, added with the 1.0 release. Each one drops a permanent Forsaken Power and the materials you need to survive the next biome.
Here are all Valheim bosses in order, how the boss system works, and what you need to summon each one.

How bosses work
Valheim’s eight bosses are the backbone of its progression. Each is tied to a biome, and you beat them roughly in order because each drop unlocks the gear or keys you need for the next region. To summon one, you find its altar — marked by red-glowing vegvisir runestones — gather the summoning items from that biome, and place them on the Forsaken Altar. Beating a boss lets you mount its trophy at the Sacrificial Stones to claim a Forsaken Power: a permanent ability you can activate whenever you need it, like faster running or stronger attacks. The 1.0 release added the eighth and final boss, Kall Fimbulbringer, in the new Deep North biome.
