NorseDemigods

Overview

Play as a demigod, a daughter or son of Odin blessed with the powers of the gods. This mod adds unique classes with magic, spells, abilities, items and more.

Each of the 11 demigods is an RPG-like class of its own, with abilities, spells, companions and passive attributes that grow as you progress. Many echo classic RPG roles, such as the cleric, the necromancer or the ranger, but every one is a figure from Norse myth that belongs in the world of Valheim.

Setup

• Do not rename "NorseDemigods.dll", and keep the files and folders that come with it in place, or the mod may not work correctly.
• On multiplayer servers, every player needs the same mod version and the same 'Demigods.yaml' and 'Consumables.json' as the server (for example, by using the server's modpack); otherwise, joining is refused.

More details: Installing the Mod.

Getting Started

• Open your 'compendium' (click the bird icon in the Tab menu) and read ND: Introduction.
• Use the free Demigod Runestone in your inventory to choose your demigod.
• Set up your ability hotkeys (see below), especially if your mouse has no side buttons.

More details: First Steps.

General Tips

• Choose a difficulty. Once you get used to your demigod, you could feel overpowered. Change 'Difficulty' in the mod configs (Expert is recommended), or use the world modifiers or another mod. See Difficulty.

• Start with a new character if you can. The mod works with existing characters, but some demigods, such as Fenrir, rely heavily on their demigod skill, and catching up late can be tedious.

• Optional features, such as Teleportation and Harpoon Fishing (inspired by the 'SpearFish' mod by Korppis), can be enabled or disabled in your configs. See Optional Features.

Hotkeys

Below are the default hotkeys for the commands that this mod introduces.

• Please note that some abilities are triggered by a combination of keys, which can all be found in your 'compendium' after choosing a demigod.

• Some abilities are triggered using the special attack in conjunction with another action, such as blocking or jumping. You can find all combinations in your 'compendium' after choosing a demigod.

• All hotkeys can be changed in the config file in section '(Hotkeys)'. It is recommended, however, that you use a configuration manager mod to bind the hotkeys directly in-game.

Command — Default Hotkey — Comments

Ability A — Front side mouse button — You should definitely change this hotkey if you do not have side mouse buttons.

Ability B — Back side mouse button — You should definitely change this hotkey if you do not have side mouse buttons.

Ability C — Blocking + Front side mouse button — You can assign a dedicated hotkey to this ability if you do not want to hold block.

Ability D — Blocking + Back side mouse button — You can assign a dedicated hotkey to this ability if you do not want to hold block.

Ignore Special Attack — Left Alt (Hold) — Some abilities override the weapon special attacks. Hold this key to use the weapon's normal special attack instead.

Teleport — P — If you wish to disable the teleport ability, you can simply disable it in section 'Teleportation' in your configs (instead of unbinding the hotkey).
