Soul Anchor
Autor:xNeliox
Soul Anchor adds a complete revival system to Valheim. Carry a Soul Anchor to revive yourself automatically, or use Eir's Breath from the hotbar to rescue a downed ally within 60 seconds.
Features
- Self-revival through a carried Soul Anchor that becomes a repairable Broken Soul Anchor
- Rescue downed allies from up to 3 metres away
- No skill or inventory loss after a successful revival
- 40% health and 5 seconds of protection after revival
- Violet-white Mistlands-style body lightning and a matching pulsing light during protection
- 30-second revival cooldown
- Downed players are ignored by monsters
- Give up with
R, gamepadY, or hold Interact for 2 seconds in VR - Custom icons and custom dropped-item models
- Automatic Valheim language detection, with complete English and German text and English fallback for every other integrated language
- Glowing downed-player soul markers with rescue time and distance
- Synchronized group map markers and a dedicated revival progress ring
- Audible warnings at 10, 5 and 3 seconds
- Valheim's standard red death pin for the last final death
- Multiplayer synchronization
English is the primary and fallback language. When Valheim is set to German, the complete German translation is selected automatically. Other game languages fall back to English.

Installation
Install with a compatible mod manager, or copy SoulAnchor.dll into BepInEx/plugins/SoulAnchor.
When upgrading from an older German-named build, delete every old Seelenanker.dll first. Do not run Seelenanker.dll and SoulAnchor.dll together.
Jötunn is required. In multiplayer, the dedicated server and every player must use the same Soul Anchor version.
Server configuration
After the first start, settings are written to BepInEx/config/xNeliox.valheim.soulanchor.cfg. The server controls all gameplay, item, recipe and effect settings and Jötunn synchronizes them to connecting players. Restart after editing recipe ingredient lists.
Configurable settings include rescue time, ally-revival duration, revival cooldown, restored health, protection duration, independent item switches, recipes and output amounts, skill loss after final death, and revival-effect volume and strength.
Console test commands

CHANGELOG
1.0.1
-
Updated and verified for Valheim 1.0.16 and Jötunn 2.30.2.
-
Fixed Eir's Breath target detection so aimed or nearby downed allies within 3 metres can be revived reliably.
-
The revival channel component is restored automatically when missing.
-
Added diagnostic logging for rejected potion-revival attempts.
-
Only the latest final-death location is highlighted with Valheim's skull pin in red at normal pin size. On the next death, the previous red pin becomes a standard white death pin, while the duplicate vanilla pin at the newest location is removed.
-
Removed the rescue countdown warning sound; visible warnings at 10, 5 and 3 seconds remain.

Revival cooldown now starts only after a successful revival; stale or orphaned cooldown data is discarded.
