Companions

Summon a companion, configure its behavior, and use its inventory to store and collect items during your adventures in Valheim.

Features

• Item-based summoning Equip the summoning item to call your companion. Unequipping it will dismiss the companion.

• Three companions Three dragon companions, each with its own summoning egg, description and Forge recipe.

• Companion chest The companion has its own container with access restricted to the owner. Chest size can be configured per companion.

• Protected access Only the owner can open the chest or take all items from it.

• Item blocking You can define items that the companion is not allowed to carry. Ores that cannot pass through portals are blocked by default.

• Automatic pickup The companion can collect nearby items and store them directly in its own container.

• Pickable harvesting The companion can harvest nearby pickables such as berries, mushrooms, thistle, flint and branches, storing the yield directly in its own container.

• Pickup item selection Use Alt + Click on an item inside the companion chest to select the type of item to be collected.

• Portal travel Choose whether the companion follows you through portals or stays behind.

• Dungeon behavior Optionally, the companion waits at the dungeon entrance instead of following you inside. Portal and dungeon options are independent.

• Catch-up teleport If the companion falls too far behind, it reappears next to you with its summoning effect. Distance is configurable.

• Dynamic flight speed The companion speeds up to keep pace when far away and arrives smoothly when you stop.

• Map icon The companion is shown on the map with its own icon, visible at long distances. Can be toggled in the config.

• Cargo box on death If the companion has stored items when the player dies, its inventory will be transferred to a separate cargo box.
