Lore Accurate Demigods

An expansion for Norse Demigods that gives the gods the deeds their myths are known for. It's only for Thor, Kvasir and Njord right now because this mod is for my playthrough and for my friends, but you can check it out if you want. It's heavily AI-assisted because I'm not a coder. But I tried to make it less sloppy and optimized it heavily.

Every player must install the same version. Each player's abilities run on their own client. The mod checks versions and shows a warning when another player's version differs.

Requirements

• BepInExPack Valheim
• Jotunn
• Norse Demigods
• MaxAxe (weapon throwing)

The mod runs on game clients. A dedicated server does not load it.

Keys

Ability slot keys are Norse Demigods' own. Open Tab → Active effects in game to see your god's page: a note in the spirit of the myths, every ability with its key, and everything this mod adds.

Thor

• Mjolnir throw: tap T with a club, mace or hammer. While it flies, T on an enemy marks it, and the returning hammer strikes every mark.

• Hammer flight: hold T to spin the hammer, then release to fly. In rain, lightning may strike the hammer and start a destructive storm flight.

• Passenger: another player can press E on a spinning Thor to ride on his back while he flies.
• Bear hug: RMB while the weapon is away. Thor lunges, grabs the enemy and finishes it in the air with the returning hammer.

• Mighty throw: block and hold T with Mjolnir. Every point of energy adds range and force. With this throw hammer carries away up to 3 enemies that it hits.
• Sky beam: B under the open sky raises the hammer into the storm. It hurts Thor but charges him. In rain the clouds gather, while lightning strikes the creatures around, and the rain turns into a thunderstorm.

• Charged Thor: LMB now slams the ground, MMB leaps far away into the sky and dives onto the chosen spot with lightning explosion. RMB while charged - a long wind-up and a heavy blow that sends the enemy flying limp.
• Charging tornadoes: Using healing ability near Njord's tornado makes it way stronger and bigger.
• PvP: a well-timed block parries the thrown hammer. It drops to the ground and Thor is stunned.

Brokkr can also throw hammers and get them back.

Njord

• Tentacles (while wet): LMB while blocking slams the ground. Hold it to fling yourself, which turns into a dive attack or into a run across deep water. MMB while blocking charges a leap, and in the air held LMB swings on a tentacle up to three times.

• Tornado riding: hold the tornado key after casting and steer with WASD. Inside it you have extra armour, and a tornado charged by Thor hits harder. If you use Tornado riding on water, you will get empowered version that is faster and lives much longer. You can cancel it anytime with the ability button.
• Rising water: Restoration ability near water slowly swells it into mounds that burst with stunning waves.
• Wave: hold Shift at a ship's helm and a wave carries the ship while consuming your energy.

• Bubble: hold the water sphere key to summon and go into a bubble-like water monster. LMB thrusts with tentacles, RMB slams, MMB is a grab that can take multiple enemies into the air or put away your allies from danger.
• Cane: It's a mythical artifact. LMB parts the sea waves, RMB calls a storm for 5 minutes, MMB freezes water and enemies in a big wave, and held T sets a frost sphere that keeps the sea out.

Kvasir

• Acrobatics: every double jump is an acrobatic trick. LMB right after it with a bow looses a volley downward.
• Ghost form: MMB with a bow gives you intangibility. With LMB you can possess a creature or a player both friendly or hostile. You cannot control players but you can buff/debuff them.

• Alligator: possessing Njord's nyx turns it into a big, magic alligator. It bites, lunges and drags its prey into a death roll. Ctrl takes it under water, where it moves unseen and unheard, for ambushes. Other players cannot see its name or health.

• Knife leap: LMB while blocking with a knife. You will be on the back of your enemy and you can strike him repeatedly with a knife or you will be climbing a tree if you target it. A bow can be drawn while climbing.

• Disguise: crouch and hold RMB and LMB with a bow to become a random object from the biome.
• Ghost arrow: block and hold T with a bow. You draw energy arrow into the sky. The mouse steers the arrow and LMB brings down a rain of arrows.

• Book of verses: worn in its own slot. Rune stones add verses that are different depending on the biome. B opens it: LMB casts a rune that goes through your allies and enemies which heals/damages them + summons ghost from the biome where rune was acquired, held RMB for a beam of light that does really good damage, or hold MMB for a destructive orb that explodes on contact.

Also

• Boss gifts: after Moder falls, each demigod nearby receives a gift in their god's own way.
• Player-versus-player support
• Every number can be changed in BepInEx/config/LoreAccurateDemigods.cfg.

Languages

English and Russian are built in. The mod follows the language chosen in the game's settings.

To add another language, copy Translations/English/LoreAccurateDemigods.json from the mod's folder to Translations/<Language>/LoreAccurateDemigods.json (for example Translations/German/), then translate the values and leave the keys as they are. {0}, {1}, {T} and {B} are filled in by the game, so keep them in the text.

Credits

Built on top of Norse Demigods by Alpus and MaxAxe by Neobotics, I'm very grateful for their work. This mod does not include their files and does not work without them. Install them from their own pages. Again, mod was made with heavy AI assist so you can skip it if you want to.
