🛡️ What is Reforge? A Completely New Experience!

Forget everything you know about gathering, crafting, cooking, hunting, building, and progressing in Valheim. Reforge introduces new NPCs, quests, bosses, enemies, terrain, clutter, materials, resources, tools, weapons, foods, locations, and lore. It’s more than a mod—it’s a new game, emphasizing exploration, strategic decision-making, a more moderated pace, and themes and legends from Norse mythology.

⚡ The gods aren’t merely present in Valheim Reforged; they are active and, in some cases, interactive, as we have added a prayer system with Boons and Curses based on your dedication. You can find shrines scattered across the map in different locations with their own icons.
