Fenrir Curse

Embrace the beast within. Fenrir Curse allows you to permanently transform into a fearsome Fenring when the sun goes down, completely changing how you fight and traverse the world of Valheim.

Features

• The Curse of the Beast: The curse is transmitted directly by surviving an attack from a Wolf, Fenring, Ulv, or Cultist. Once infected, you gain the ability to transform into a Wolf by pressing H, and into a Fenring at night by pressing G.
• Beast Unleashed: As a Fenring, you experience a massive boost to your movement and jump speed, complete immunity to fall damage, and a powerful claw attack to tear your enemies apart.
• Empower the Curse: Seek the Bog Witch to empower the curse (speak to someone in her house).
• Whiteberry: Once your curse is empowered, the Bog Witch sells the Whiteberry (300 coins). Eat it and your Cultist form turns pale: a cosmetic change only, attacks and animations stay the same.
• Compendium page: While you are infected, a page in the Compendium explains the curse and your transformations.
• Reversible Curse: Craft the Purifying Potion at the Cauldron to cleanse your blood and return to your human form permanently (if you really want to cure the curse and go back to being a boring human, that is).

Gamepad

• Transform and howl: hold R3 to open the radial menu and pick the Fenrir Curse group. It holds your beast form (G), your Wolf or Ulv form (H) and, while you are a Fenring or a Cultist, the Howl (O).
• Attacks in beast form: RT is the left-click attack, LT the right-click attack (the Cultist breathes fire while LT is held), and the secondary attack button is the middle-click attack.

Disclosure

This mod utilizes only in-game assets and does not use any external components. The code was written and debugged with an AI agent.
