This mod requires the following mods to function
denikson-BepInExPack_Valheim
BepInEx pack for Valheim. Preconfigured with the correct entry point for mods and preferred defaults for the community.
Preferred version: 5.4.2333
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: 2.30.2README
Valkyrie's Vision
AI disclosure: Valkyrie's Vision is a vibe-coded project. The idea, the design decisions, and all of the in-game testing came from Drakexi. The code was written by Claude under Drakexi's direction. Every feature was tested in-game before release. If you'd rather avoid AI-written mods, you can make that choice knowingly.
Exploring Valheim leaves your map looking like ant tunnels through the fog. Revealing the whole map with console commands feels like cheating. Valkyrie's Vision sits in between: every Forsaken you slay earns you part of the map.
When a boss falls, the Valkyrie's vision sweeps across the land, the fog lifts, and the game's "new biome discovered" sound plays.
Reveal modes
Biome mode (default). Each boss reveals every patch of its own biome, anywhere in the world, including tiny islands at the far edge. Those distant specks become landing spots and base sites worth sailing to.
| Boss | Reveals |
|---|---|
| Eikthyr | Meadows |
| The Elder | Black Forest |
| Bonemass | Swamp |
| Moder | Mountains |
| Yagluth | Plains |
| The Queen | Mistlands + the ocean |
| Fader | Ashlands |
| Kall Fimbulbringer | Deep North |
The ocean is revealed at the Queen, or earlier as a reward for completing Hildir's quests: once Brenna, Geirrhafa, and Zil & Thungr have all fallen, the seas are revealed.
Rings mode. Each boss reveals a larger circle outward from the world center. With EqualArea scaling, each kill reveals another 1/8 of the map's area. With EqualRadius, each kill adds 1/8 of the radius. Defeating Kall reveals the entire world.
Good to know
- Reveals only ever add to your map. Nothing you explored yourself is hidden.
- Reveals are permanent and saved to your character, just like normal exploration.
- Installing mid-playthrough is fine. On first load, everything you've already earned is revealed at once.
- Reveals are based on world progress (boss keys), so on a server every player with the mod gets the reveals, including people who join later.
Installation
Install with r2modman or Thunderstore Mod Manager. Requires BepInEx and Jötunn.
Client only: works on any server, including vanilla ones. The mod reads boss progress that the game already shares with every player, and uses your own config.
On a server too (optional): install it on the server if you want everyone to play with the same settings. The server's settings then apply to every player who has the mod, and they're locked while connected. Players without the mod can still join; they just don't get the reveals.
Settings
Found in BepInEx/config/com.drakexi.valkyriesvision.cfg.
Server-controlled (if the server also has the mod, its values apply to everyone and are locked):
| Setting | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| RevealMode | Biome | Biome or Rings |
| RingScaling | EqualArea | Rings mode only: EqualArea or EqualRadius |
| OceanReveal | Queen | Biome mode only: which boss reveals the ocean (Never disables it) |
| OceanRevealEarlyKeys | BossHildir1,BossHildir2,BossHildir3 | Biome mode only: keys that reveal the ocean early once all are set. Blank disables the early reveal. |
| BossKeys (section) | vanilla keys | The world key each boss sets when defeated. Change only for compatibility with other mods. |
Personal (each player chooses):
| Setting | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ShowMessages | true | Show the Valkyrie message when new areas are revealed |
| MessageSeconds | 5 | How long the message stays fully visible |
| PlayStinger | true | Play the "new biome discovered" sound with the message |
| DebugLogging | false | Log every boss and keyed creature on world load |
