This mod requires the following mods to function
denikson-BepInExPack_Valheim
BepInEx pack for Valheim. Preconfigured and includes unstripped Unity DLLs.
Preferred version: 5.4.2202
ValheimModding-Jotunn
Jötunn (/ˈjɔːtʊn/, 'giant'), the Valheim Library was created with the goal of making the lives of mod developers easier. It enables you to create mods for Valheim using an abstracted API so you can focus on the actual content creation.
Preferred version: 2.20.1
DigitalVikings-VikingLib
Modular combat mechanics, canonical status effects, and damage calculation framework for Valheim.
Preferred version: 0.1.0README
VikingFoes
VikingFoes overhauls Valheim's creature combat dynamics through anatomical damage resistances, converted attack types, calibrated poise stagger thresholds, and organic bleed afflictions built on VikingLib.
⚠️ Work in Progress (Pre-Release v0.1.0): This mod is in active development and has not been tested extensively. Features, balance, and mechanics may change, and unintended bugs or edge cases may occur. Backup your character and world saves before testing.
⚡ Powered by VikingLib: This mod requires VikingLib. VikingLib replaces Valheim's native combat calculation and stat engines. Not all mods may be compatible / work as expected with this.
How It Works
Creatures no longer rely on arbitrary monolithic health pools and generic attacks; their combat identity reflects their physical anatomy:
- Anatomical Damage Interactions: Physical resistances match creature physiology. Thrusting tangled roots with narrow spears is inefficient (-20% pierce damage against Greydwarfs), while sea serpents submerged in saltwater conduct heavy electrical discharge (+25% lightning damage).
- Physical Attack Type Conversions: Creature attacks deliver accurate physical damage types. Boars gouge with razor tusks (Slashing), Greydwarf Brutes smash with heavy clubbed fists (Blunt), and Serpents strike with puncture bites (Piercing).
- Poise Stagger Thresholds: Creatures have individual poise ratings governing stagger resistance, rewarding heavy weapons and timed parries.
- Organic Afflictions: Predator attacks organically inflict bleeding lacerations over time via VikingLib's status effect pipeline.
