How to Kill Deathsquito in Valheim
The Deathsquito is a mob type you will find on the Plains biome. They are basically mosquitos, about one-twentieth the size of the character and travel really fast. They are considered one of the deadliest, if not the most in the game. Their small size makes it very difficult for any ranged or melee attack. Now much is known about the mosquito. From what we saw, we could not figure out the attack type of the Deathsquito, but we presume it’s the sling or touch that kills you. And just a bite is enough.
The best strategy by far to not get killed by the Deathsquito is to avoid it and not be seen by it. If you cannot get past it. It’s recommended that you see it first than the other way around. One of best ways to kill the Deathsquito in Valheim is to spot it from far and use ranged attacks such as arrows. You need to be a darn good toxophilite to shoot the insect from range, but it’s not possible. A lot of players have done it. There are no specific arrows that you need to use.
If you get a hit, killing the Deathsquito is easy. So, don’t bother with the arrow variant. Just focus on the aim.
Another way to kill the Deathsquito is to wait for it to get close and if timed correctly, you can swing your weapon and it will kill it. This would obviously require practise or some luck. You can also dodge the attack of the insect, but this also requires the right timing. When the insect is near enough and about to attack roll yourself and this way you can dodge the attack.
That’s not all, the best weapon or defence by far against the Deathsquito is the humble shield. You can protect yourself from its attack using the shield as well as use the shield as weapon to kill it.
So, that how you kill Deathsquito in Valheim. A tip, if the insect has spotted you, there is no point running as no matter where you run it will follow and kill you. Your best shot is to try the ways to kill it we have discussed and hope luck is on your side.
