SlopeWalker
Walk up steep slopes without sliding. Movement slows and stamina drains with slope angle. Player only, configurable.SlopeWalker
Walk up steep terrain on foot instead of sliding back down.
Vanilla Valheim only lets a standing/walking player stay on slopes up to 38° — anything steeper and you slide back down no matter what. SlopeWalker raises that limit (configurable, default 55°): above 38° and up to your configured limit, you no longer slide while standing, walking, or sneaking. Walking uphill in that steeper band is slower the closer you get to the limit, and it drains stamina using the same rate as vanilla running (scaled by skill, equipment, and status effects). Run out of stamina and you drop back to vanilla sliding until you recover a bit. Running and the vanilla "run up a wall" climb are completely untouched — this only changes how walking/standing/sneaking behaves on steep ground.
Features
- Stand, walk, or sneak on slopes between 38° and your configured limit without sliding
- Uphill movement is slowed smoothly from full speed (at 38°) down to a configurable minimum (at the limit)
- Stamina drain while climbing uses the same formula as vanilla running (skill level, equipment, and status effects all apply)
- Out of stamina → vanilla sliding resumes until stamina recovers
- Steeper than your configured limit still slides like vanilla — cliffs are still cliffs
- Running and wall-running up slopes are untouched — this mod never affects them
- Optional: restrict the effect to natural terrain only (building roofs stay vanilla)
- Optional: gain Run skill XP while climbing steep slopes
- Affects the player only — monsters and other creatures behave exactly as in vanilla

| Setting | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Enabled | true | Turn the whole mod on/off |
| MaxWalkableSlope | 55 | Maximum slope angle (degrees) you can walk up. Values at or below vanilla's 38° limit have no effect |
| SlowdownAtMax | 0.5 | Movement speed multiplier at the steepest point (MaxWalkableSlope). 1.0 = no slowdown |
| StaminaDrainMult | 0.3 | Stamina drain while climbing, as a multiplier on the equivalent running stamina drain rate. 0 = no drain |
| GrantRunXP | false | Gain Run skill XP while climbing steep slopes, same as vanilla running |
| TerrainOnly | false | Only apply the effect on natural terrain; building roofs and other structures stay vanilla |
| DebugLog | false | Logs the current slope angle, applied state, and stamina cost to the BepInEx log |
Installation
- Install BepInExPack Valheim
- Drop

Client-only mod — only the player who installs it needs it. It has no effect on other players or the server, and works fine in a mixed-mod-set multiplayer game.
