Installing the Mod

Norse Demigods is a BepInEx mod for Valheim. Install it with a mod manager or by hand. On a multiplayer server, every player needs the same mod version and data files as the server.

Mod page:
Thunderstore · Hexium

Requirements

Mod What it does Links

With a mod manager

  1. Open your mod manager (for example r2modman or the Thunderstore Mod Manager) and select Valheim.
  2. Search for NorseDemigods by Alpus and install it. The required mods are installed with it.
  3. Start the game from the mod manager.

Manual install

  1. Install the three required mods above, following their instructions.
  2. Put the Norse Demigods files in their own folder inside BepInEx/plugins.

  3. Keep every file and folder that comes with the mod next to NorseDemigods.dll, in the same folder structure.

  4. Do not rename NorseDemigods.dll.

  5. The mod may not work correctly if files are missing or moved.

Outdated video

The video was recorded while the mod was in early access. Demigods, abilities, numbers and settings have changed since; where they differ, this wiki is up to date.

Multiplayer

  • The server and every player need the mod, in exactly the same version (for example 1.9.3).
  • Every player also needs the same Demigods.yaml and Consumables.json as the server. These files set each demigod's abilities and attributes, and the mod's recipes.
  • A player with different files cannot join. In-game message: "Norse Demigods: your Demigods.yaml differs from the server's. Install the same mod files as the server (for example, its modpack) and try again."
  • The easiest way to match the server is to install the server's modpack.

Settings

The settings file is BepInEx/config/NorseDemigods.cfg. It is created the first time you start the game with the mod.

  • Edit it with a text editor while the game is closed, or in-game with a configuration manager (see Recommended Mods).
  • On a server, most settings come from the server and are sent to players when they join. Only admins can change them.
  • Your own settings stay yours: hotkeys ([(Hotkeys)]), the interface ([User Interface]), passive visual effects ([(General)] Enable Passive Special Effects) and the attack angle ([(General)] Enhance Attack Angle).
  • To turn the mod off without uninstalling it, set [(General)] Enable Mod = false and restart the game.
  • Server admins: see Difficulty and Optional Features next.

Updates reset the advanced settings

After every mod update, the advanced settings (abilities, attributes and demigods) go back to their new defaults, so the update's balance changes apply. To keep your own values, set [(Configs)] Automatically Update Configs = false. Other settings, such as Difficulty and hotkeys, are kept.

Languages

The mod uses your game language when a translation exists, and English otherwise.
