🙏 Credits & Disclaimer

This is NOT an original mod.

All credit for Skyheim belongs to its original creator, makail (Makzimus).

• 🔗 Skyheim on Thunderstore
• 🔗 Skyheim on Nexus Mods

This temporary community fix was created because the original mod had not received updates in approximately two years.

The goal is to maintain compatibility until the original author releases an update or a better long-term solution becomes available.

💚 If makail returns with an official update, please switch back to the original mod and discontinue use of this compatibility fix.

🔮 What Is Skyheim?

Skyheim is a magic and progression mod for Valheim that gives you new reasons to defeat bosses, explore dungeons, and develop your character.

Bosses provide unique crafting ingredients used to create and upgrade magical runes. These runes grant a variety of offensive and supportive spells, while Eitr imbuement allows access to magical progression through armor.

✨ Core Features

• 🪄 Magical Runes — Craft and upgrade runes to cast offensive and supportive spells.
• 🔥 Rune Altar — Create runes, improve their power, and imbue armor with Eitr.
• 💎 Eitr Imbuement — Gain Eitr capacity and regeneration through enchanted armor.
• 👹 Boss Progression — Defeat bosses to obtain unique crafting materials.
• 🏰 Dungeon Exploration — Explore dungeons to advance your magical progression.

🛠️ Compatibility & Requirements

The latest package version, Skyheim 1.3.36, was tested with:

• Valheim: 1.0.21
• BepInExPack Valheim: 5.4.2360
• Skyheim Compat: 1.1.28

The rewritten skyheim.dll restores compatibility with the current game API. The companion Skyheim Compat plugin handles localization, HUD compatibility, rune behavior, and additional fixes.

💠 Eitr Shard Drops

Bosses drop the configured number of Eitr Shards. For example, Eikthyr drops 5 shards by default.

Configuration file:

BepInEx/config/cjayride.SkyheimEitr.cfg

Use this configuration to adjust boss shard drops and stack size.

⚙️ Rune Configuration

Rune settings are available through the generated configuration file, including options for:

• Enable/disable state
• Cooldowns
• Eitr and stamina costs
• Spell range
• Damage

Status runes spend their Eitr cost when cast. Rune magic skills also support configurable experience gain and experience loss on death.

📥 Installation

🧩 Thunderstore, r2modman & Gale

1. Install Skyheim 1.0 Fix.
2. Allow Skyheim Compat to install automatically as a required dependency.
3. Launch the game and verify that both packages are enabled.

⚠️ Do not install or enable the original makail-Skyheim alongside this fix.

The mod manager may still display the plugin as Skyheim 1.3.12. This is expected: the Fix package contains the rewritten skyheim.dll.

📂 Manual Installation

1. Ensure BepInEx is installed.
2. Remove previous Skyheim installations, including the original mod and other compatibility fixes.
3. Install Skyheim 1.0 Fix.
4. Install Skyheim Compat.
5. Keep skyheim.json beside skyheim.dll.
6. Launch the game.

Both packages are required.

🐛 Troubleshooting

If the BepInEx log contains an error similar to:

TypeLoadException
SkyheimAltarPanel:_leftSlot
Element

the original, outdated Skyheim DLL may still be installed or loading. Remove the original package and verify that the replacement skyheim.dll is being used.
