Lost Scrolls II — Quest (Complete Pack)

The complete, story-included edition of Lost Scrolls II — ready to play in single player.

This pack bundles the Lost Scrolls II mod together with its full in-game narrative: the biome-by-biome story descent and the Companion Handbook, delivered through Valheim ServerGuide. Install this one package and everything is wired up — no manual file copying.

Prefer just the gameplay, or already run your own ServerGuide guidance? Install the base Lost Scrolls II package instead. This "Quest" edition is for players who want the whole experience out of the box.

What's included

This is a content pack: it ships the story and pulls in the gameplay mod and its story engine as dependencies. You don't install three things by hand — installing this one package brings all of it in.

• The base Lost Scrolls II mod — the recruitable, levelable Dvergr companions, pulled in as a dependency (see Requirements).
• The story chains (guidance.lost-scrolls.yaml) — a reflective descent from Meadows to Ashlands, told at landmarks across the world.
• The Companion Handbook (guidance.companions.yaml) — in-game guidance teaching the command keys, per-caste chores, and how to adventure with your companions.
• Ladder guidance (guidance.rankings.yaml) — how the duel and party ladders work, rank milestones, and a "new champion" announcement when someone reaches #1.
• Tournament guidance (guidance.tournaments.yaml) — join confirmations, round pairings, and the champion prize bundle.
• Duel broadcasts (guidance.duels.yaml) — announces every duel win to server chat and, optionally, Discord.
• Bounty hunting (guidance.bounty.yaml, guidance.bounty-rewards.yaml) — the Warden's Commission quest that opens the Wanted Board (talk to Haldor, hold [E]), and the reward bundles paid for every bounty answered. Server feature — see the note below.
• Wagers (guidance.wagers.yaml) — teaches the staked tournaments and duel invites, and carries the Valcoin champion's purse bridge. Coin wagers need nothing set up; Valcoin wagers need the server's valcoin_quests.yaml to define ls_tournament_prize (the amount lives there, not in the mod).
• The Bog Witch's Dvergr rites (guidance.bogwitch-rite.yaml) — a weekly quest chain that lets you find and free your first Dvergr companions without traveling to the Mistlands. Requires the Bog Witch trader (from the ProfMags-TraderOverhaul mod); harmlessly inert without her.

All nine YAML files drop into BepInEx/config/ValheimServerGuide/LostScrollsII/ — their own subfolder, so they stay separate from any guidance your server already runs and are easy to remove. ServerGuide merges every *.yaml under its config folder recursively, at any depth.

Rankings & tournaments need ServerGuide. These guidance files are what announces and rewards the competitive systems — rank-ups, "new #1", tournament pairings, champion prizes, Discord posts. That's why ValheimServerGuide 0.14.0+ is a hard dependency of this pack (0.8.0+ is also what makes the subfolder layout load at all, and 0.14.0 adds the tier: filter the bounty rewards need). The ladders themselves keep recording without it, but nothing would announce them.

Bounty hunting is a server feature. Its guidance ships here, but the system only runs on a server (or local host) that also has BiomeLords and Valheim Donations installed alongside ServerGuide. Everywhere else the bounty panel simply explains what it is and where it runs — nothing breaks. Valcoin payouts additionally need quest ids ls_bounty_t1 … ls_bounty_t5 in the donations mod's valcoin_quests.yaml; without them the item rewards still pay.

Discord is optional. The announcements only post if the server sets DiscordWebhookUrl in the ServerGuide config. Without it everything still fires in-game and the webhook step is skipped.

Upgrading from 0.3.0? Delete the old top-level guidance.lost-scrolls.yaml, guidance.companions.yaml, guidance.rankings.yaml and guidance.tournaments.yaml from BepInEx/config/ValheimServerGuide/. Mod managers don't remove files a new version stopped shipping, and leaving them there loads the guidance twice (duplicate ids).

Features

• Recruit companions — perform the Communion Rite on a subdued Dvergr to free and recruit it (Rogue, Fire Mage, Ice Mage, Support Mage).
• Level them up — companions earn XP (1→10) and grow stronger, with per-caste bonuses.
• Command them — feed/heal (G), cycle Follow/Guard/Standby stance (E), open its pack + rename (Y), private minimap pins and death markers.
• Put them to work — assign allies by caste to vanilla stations: smelting, refining, cooking, brewing, farming, animal care, hauling.
• Communion Totems — seal a companion into a carriable totem and summon it back, level intact.
• Travel together — Follow-stance allies board ships and teleport through portals with you.
• Duels — non-lethal companion-vs-companion sparring (J), or gather a party and fight team-vs-team (K).
• Rankings — duel wins feed persistent server ladders; read them in-game with F6, and name your team with de_party_name.
• Tournaments — open the panel with F7 and enter by locking a companion's Communion Totem into a slot; it's summoned automatically (at full health) for its match and sealed back afterward. Single/double elimination or round robin, with optional level-gated events and a live standings table.
• The Bog Witch's rites — talk to the Bog Witch to learn of Dvergr echoes bound in the Swamp's rotted dead. Break them free (Draugr Elite by day for a Rogue, Wraith by night for a random mage caste) and a wild Dvergr wakes nearby, ready to subdue and commune — a taste of recruiting before you've ever set foot in the Mistlands. Each rite renews weekly.

Duels, ladders and tournaments are multiplayer features by design (a companion only spars with another player's companion). Single-player installs simply won't use them — everything else works solo.

Requirements

All installed automatically as dependencies:

• BepInEx for Valheim (denikson-BepInExPack_Valheim).
• Lost Scrolls II — the base gameplay mod (the companion system).
• Valheim ServerGuide (TaegukGaming-ValheimServerGuide-0.15.0) — delivers the story and handbook. The floor is 0.15.0, and both reasons are hard ones: the bounty rewards use a tier: filter added in 0.14.0, which an older build ignores while firing every tier at once; and Haldor’s commission hands out its reward from a dialogue choice, which no build before 0.15.0 grants at all — so on 0.14.0 the conversation plays, you accept, and no first bounty is ever marked.

Setup

1. Install this package via your mod manager (r2modman / Thunderstore Mod Manager). Both dependencies are pulled in for you.
2. Launch Valheim and start (or continue) a world.
3. The story begins at the sacrificial stones where you first wake; established characters are gently nudged back to the start. Fight a Dvergr down to low health without killing it, then hold your Block button on it to channel the Communion Rite.

Multiplayer

Works in multiplayer too — install on the server and every client. The bundled guidance files are meant to be the world's story; on a server that already ships its own ServerGuide guidance, use the base Lost Scrolls II package instead to avoid overlapping content.
