Lost Scrolls II

Free the fallen instead of fighting them. Subdue a corrupted Dvergr, perform the Communion Rite, and it becomes a lasting companion — one that fights beside you, levels up, tends your workstations, sails your ships, spars with other players' companions, and follows you through portals.

A spiritual sequel to the deprecated mod Lost Scrolls (TaegukGaming), rebuilt from scratch as a new vanilla-assets-only Valheim mod. Every recruitable Dvergr is an existing vanilla creature with new behavior — no custom models, textures, sounds, or asset bundles.

Features

• Recruit companions — perform the Communion Rite on a subdued Dvergr to free and recruit it. Rogue, Fire Mage, Ice Mage, and Support Mage castes.
• Level them up — companions earn XP (1→10) and grow stronger, with per-caste bonuses. Progress saves on the creature and survives relogs.
• Command them — hover + hotkey: feed/heal (G), cycle Follow/Guard/Standby stance (E), open its inventory + rename (Y), and see them on your private minimap.
• Give them a pack — each companion carries its own 4×2 inventory (opens like a chest). It picks up loot it already carries, eats food for a temporary HP boost, drinks health/resistance meads, and gets encumbered if overloaded. Its pack rides along through totems and drops on death.
• Put them to work — assign allies to vanilla stations by caste: smelting, refining, cooking, brewing, farming (plant + harvest), animal care, and hauling.
• Duel — non-lethal companion-vs-companion sparring between players for bonus XP.
• Communion Totems — seal a companion into a carriable totem (at an Incinerator, using Wisps) and summon it back later, level intact.
• Travel together — Follow-stance allies board your ship and teleport through portals with you.

Setup

1. Install via your mod manager (r2modman / Thunderstore Mod Manager). BepInEx is pulled in automatically.
2. Launch Valheim and load a world.
3. Fight a Dvergr down to low health without killing it, hover it, and press G to perform Communion. It's now your ally.

Install on the server and on every client in multiplayer. Some features (duels) are multiplayer by design.

Optional companion mod

The mod's story and an in-game Companion Handbook are delivered through the separate mod Valheim ServerGuide. It's optional — install it for the narrative and the how-to guidance; every gameplay feature works fully without it.

Changelog

0.2.0

Companion inventory — each recruited Dvergr now carries its own pack.

• Own 4×2 inventory, opened with Y while hovering your companion — a chest-style panel (your inventory + crafting + weight readout) that also carries a rename field and a live HP readout.
• Picks up loot it already carries (empty pack = nothing); combat takes priority over gathering.
• Eats food one at a time for a temporary max-HP boost (with a fed icon), drinks a health mead when hurt (below 35% HP, until 90%), and drinks poison/fire/frost resist meads for the matching resistance (shown as an icon above it).
• 150 weight cap — over it the companion stops picking up and won't attack (but still moves), with an encumbered icon.
• Drops its whole pack on death, and its pack rides along when sealed into a Communion Totem (restored on summon).
• Wood portals won't send you if a following companion is carrying a non-teleportable item (with a message naming the ally + item).
• ComfyQuickSlots compatible — the pack panel no longer hides the extra inventory row.

0.1.0

Initial release.

• Ally recruitment via the Communion Rite — subdue a Dvergr and press the Communion key (G) to free and recruit it. Rogue, Fire Mage, Ice Mage, and Support Mage castes, auto-detected. Recruit state persists across relogs and server restarts.
• Ally leveling — companions earn biome-/toughness-scaled kill XP from 1 to 10 on a rising curve, gaining health and damage plus per-caste bonuses. Gold ★N level badge and a hover readout.
• Commands — feed/heal with a health mead (G, any player), cycle Follow/Guard/Standby stance (E), rename (Y), and private per-player minimap pins.
• Chores — assign allies by caste to vanilla stations (H): Fire Mage smelting, Ice Mage refining, Support Mage cooking/brewing/farming/animal care, Rogue hauling. Persists across relogs and keeps working while you're away.
• Dvergr duels — non-lethal, multiplayer-only companion-vs-companion sparring (J) for bonus XP, with PvP immunity and auto stand-down.
• Communion Totems — seal Follow-stance companions into carriable totems at an Incinerator using Wisps, and summon them back with level/XP/name intact.
• Travel — Follow-stance allies board ships and teleport through portals with their owner.
• Ownership & threat — the recruiting player owns the companion; commands are owner-only (feeding is shared). Guard treats non-owners as threats; attacking a companion draws retaliation; a butcher-knife strike turns it feral.

Vanilla assets only — no custom models, textures, sounds, or asset bundles.

Story and an in-game Companion Handbook are delivered through the optional companion mod Valheim ServerGuide.
