NorseDemigods

Overview

Play as a demigod, chosen from 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.

Please note that your advanced settings will be reset on every new update for re-balancing purposes, unless 'Automatically Update Configs' is disabled in your configs.

Setup

It is important that you do not rename the file "NorseDemigods.dll" and ensure that other files that come along with the mod are located in the same folder, else the mod will not function correctly (if at all).

Mods which seem to be incompatible or partially incompatible with NorseDemigods:

Getting Started

• Check your in-game 'compendium' (click on the bird icon on the 'tab' menu) for all necessary instructions on how to get started. Your 'compendium' will be updated with more information after having chosen a demigod, such as abilities, attributes, infused materials, and even the possible hotkey combinations for your abilities.
• You might want to change the hotkeys for your abilities by tweaking the values in section '(Hotkeys)' in your configs. The user interface is also customizable in section 'User Interface', which can be updated in real time if using a configuration manager mod.

General Tips

• Although the mod is linearly balanced and somewhat vanilla friendly, once you get used to it, you could feel overpowered. It is recommended that you change the value of 'Difficulty' in the mod configs to something else, such as 'Expert' (recommended difficulty), or use the world modifiers or another mod to increase the game difficulty.
• Even though this mod will fully work with already existing characters, it is recommended that you use this mod on a fresh character. Some demigods fully rely on their main skill (demigod) to cause damage (e.g. Fenrir), which will naturally and steadily progress from the start of the game, but may be tedious to catch up with if started late.
• You can enable and disable optional features in your configs, such as 'Teleportation' or 'Harpoon Fishing', which was inspired by the 'SpearFish' mod by Korppis, allowing you to catch fish with an Abyssal harpoon and upgrade it. This mod introduces sweet fish recipes, which are an almost essential type of food for demigods.
• Due to demigods having limited types of preferred weapons, I highly recommend the 'Warfare' mod by Therzie, which will not only introduce new weapons, but also new combat animations (for valkyries this is quite a big change with the introduction of pikes). Another excellent mod is 'ValheimArmory' by MidnightMods.

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 conjuction with another event, 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 (such as the 'Official BepInEx Configuration Manager' mod by Azumatt) to bind the hotkeys directly in-game.

Demigods

Infused Materials

This mod introduces several infused materials that you can craft and consume to become even more powerful. For 'Infused Abilities' (which will make your abilities more powerful), you can refer to your compendium (introduction) to find clues about the recipe for your demigod (after choosing one).

Console Commands

Translation

The content of this mod has the full potential to be translated into other languages via text/json files (except for configs). If you translate the files into any language that is not yet available, feel free to share them with me on Discord so that I can include them into the official mod.

At the moment, only the following languages are available:

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• How do I infuse my abilities? After having chosen a demigod, open your 'compendium', navigate to "ND: Introduction" and read the last paragraph. It will give a hint.
• What is considered heavy armor? Any piece of armor with an above 2% movement penalty.

• New ability for all demigods added: 'Teleport' - It will teleport you back to your bed, and then to the previous saved location before teleporting to bed. Can be disabled in the configs.
• New attribute for 'Hel' added: 'Soul Reaper' - It has a chance to make monsters explode upon dying.
