Valheim Ascended is an attempt to build a complete RPG framework on top of Valheim. The goal is to bring everything you'd expect from a full RPG under one roof: a character equipment screen, social systems, classes and abilities, tooltips and UI enhancements, professions and crafting, quests, and a vanilla-friendly progression system. Instead of piecing together a dozen separate mods, this is one package trying to do all of it.
⚠️ Early Access
This is a solo passion project. Everything here is built and maintained by one person.
Features are still incomplete, nothing is balanced, and things will break between updates.
Because this mod touches so many of Valheim's systems, compatibility with other mods has not been tested. Expect conflicts with anything that modifies combat, UI, stats, or progression.

Pick your class after defeating Eikthyr. You can preview all five talent trees before committing.

| Class | Role | Subclasses |
|---|---|---|
| Warrior | STR / END melee | Berserker, Protector |
| Rogue | DEX / AGI burst | Blade Weaver, Assassin |
| Hunter | AGI / DEX ranged | Sharpshooter, Stormweaver |
| Mage | INT caster, 5 ability slots | Rime Sage, Tempest Warden, Pyroclast |
| Paladin | END / INT hybrid | Death Knight, Judicator, Lightbringer |
Each class branches into subclass paths through the talent tree. Once you commit to a branch the other side locks. Respec is available for a coin cost.

6+ abilities per class, all with custom VFX and SFX.


Around 50 nodes per class with subclass gates, multi-rank passives, keystones, and capstones.


Three professions, each with a dedicated UI panel and its own crafting mechanics.
A discovery-based mixing system. Combine trophies with base materials to create enchantments.

Component-based gear customization with stat tradeoff sliders.

Build and maintain ships using raw materials instead of pre-built upgrades.
🚧 Shipwright UI is under construction. Screenshots coming soon.

The entire UI is custom. Every panel is draggable, scalable, and has a hotkey.


Requires: Valheim (0.221.12) + BepInEx 5
Install via r2modman or Thunderstore Mod Manager (recommended). The mod manager handles everything automatically.
For manual installs, copy the entire ValheimAscended folder (DLL, assets, and config files) into BepInEx/plugins/. The DLL alone won't work.
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| Tab | Inventory + NavBar |
| G / H / B | Ability slots 1, 2, 3 |
| LMB / RMB | Mage slots 4, 5 |
| ` (backtick) | Target lock (hold to clear) |
| Shift+R | Siege Engine partial reload |
| T / U / V / C / B / L / I / N / P | Panel hotkeys (all rebindable) |
All hotkeys are rebindable in the in-game Settings panel.
This is a one-person project. Feedback is welcome and it genuinely shapes what gets worked on next.
