When Valheim updates, previous boss map markers don't match new boss locations
When Valheim update features new locations being added to the world, it has to ensure that both old and new locations are distributed across the world in a balanced way.
In order to ensure that, the game will procedurally re-generate all of the undiscovered portions of the world. This will result in old undiscovered locations getting a new position on the map.
The downside of this implementation, is that old map markers for Boss altars won't match the new Boss altar locations. Map markers won't get updated as they are a part of a character save, and not the world save.
If players want to get an accurate Boss altar map marker, after the new update, they will have to interact with Boss Vegvisir once more.
Updating map markers will be considered in later stages of development.

Nik MergedMy friends and I are experiencing this as well. The final boss alter is missing and replaced with a patch of dirt.

CtznK MergedI have the elder altar marked in two locations on my map in one of my seeds. I go to the locations and the elder altar is simply not there. What do I do?

Smiffe Admin MergedHi Jordan.
This can sometimes happen if you play on a older world and a few patches have been pushed out since the world was created.
Usually the way to fix this is to go to the Vegvisir sign again and get a new location for the boss.
(and of course remove the old location marked on the map) -

Nova MergedHi, I've recently created a world (~2 weeks ago) and encountered the same problem. It worked out by visiting another vegvisir showing a new location.
