Crimson Blood
Part of the Scavengers Survival Series for Valheim.
Crimson Blood makes combat feel heavier without changing combat balance. It replaces simple hit effects with local visual blood that has direction, gravity, ground contact, and persistence.
Latest update — V0.7.7
- Blood that lands on the ground, walls, and other valid surfaces can now remain visible for up to two in-game days.
- Longer-lasting settled blood gives battles, hunts, and dangerous areas a more believable aftermath.
What it adds
- Directional blood bursts based on impact direction.
- Falling droplets, streaks, pools, and wall/ground marks.
- Blood that lands and spreads instead of floating in the air.
- Local visual effects for the player, animals, humanoids, monsters, bosses, and tamed creatures.
- Red blood for living creatures.
- Black blood for skeletons and ghosts.
- Distance and effect caps to keep the visual system practical.
Controls
- F11 — Write Crimson Blood diagnostics.
- F12 — Clear recent local visual events.
Installation
- Install through Thunderstore/r2modman, or install BepInExPack for Valheim manually.
- Place
CrimsonBlood.dll and the supplied assets in BepInEx/plugins/CrimsonBlood/.
- Launch Valheim once to create the config file.
Notes
Crimson Blood is visual-only. It does not change creature health, damage, drops, or world saves.
