Controls and Hotkeys

Abilities use the side mouse buttons, your block key and your weapon's special attack by default. Every key can be changed in your settings.

Default keys

Command Default key Notes
Ability A Upper Side Mouse Change it if your mouse has no side buttons.
Ability B Lower Side Mouse Change it if your mouse has no side buttons.
Ability C Upper Side Mouse + Block No key of its own by default. Give it one to cast it without blocking.
Ability D Lower Side Mouse + Block No key of its own by default. Give it one to cast it without blocking.
Teleport P See Teleport.
Ignore special attack Left Alt + Middle Mouse Hold it to use your weapon's normal special attack.

Block means "hold your block key" (Valheim's default: right mouse button).

Special attacks

Valheim's special attack (secondary attack, default Middle Mouse) becomes an ability when you hold one of your demigod's favorite weapons.

  • Some demigods have more special attacks: one while blocking (Block + Middle Mouse) and one while airborne (Middle Mouse in the air).
  • Which weapons trigger them differs per demigod: each demigod page lists them on its ability cards.
  • Hold Left Alt while using the special attack to get your weapon's normal special attack instead.

Your compendium page ND: Abilities lists every key and combination for your demigod. See First Steps.

Changing keys

  • In-game (easiest): install a configuration manager (see Recommended Mods), open the Norse Demigods settings and set the keys under (Hotkeys). Changes apply right away.
  • In the settings file: edit the [(Hotkeys)] section of BepInEx/config/NorseDemigods.cfg while the game is closed.

  • Hotkeys are your own settings: a server does not change them.
  • To turn Teleport off, a server admin sets [Teleportation] Enable Teleport Ability = false. Unbinding the key is not needed.

Interface settings

The [User Interface] section controls the mod's meters (energy and companions). These are your own settings too.
