⚔️ Epic Valheim Additions

Community Rebuild for Valheim 1.0

A community rebuild of Huntardy's Epic Valheim Additions, updated for Valheim 1.0.

This version brings back optional extra bosses and golden minibosses while removing outdated content and preserving vanilla Ashlands and Deep North.

Important: This is not the original 2.1.2 biome overhaul. All original bosses, assets, and artwork belong to their respective creators.

🔗 Original Mod

• Thunderstore: Huntardy's Epic Valheim Additions
• Nexus Mods: Epic Valheim Additions

Original Author: Huntard

✨ Features

👑 Additional Bosses

Three optional bosses return, each with an altar and vegvisir in its associated biome.

• Svartalfar Queen — Mistlands
• Hel Demon (Blazing Damned One) — Ashlands
• Jotunn — Deep North

🐾 Optional Biome Creatures (default on)

Spawns use the original EVA chance and caps. Turn a toggle off and run EVA_cleanup confirm to remove existing instances.

🪙 Golden Minibosses

• Golden miniboss encounters in the Meadows, Black Forest, and Swamp.
• Altars use their matching vanilla trophies.
• Configurable boss health, attack values, and content availability.
• Default altar cooldown of 120 real-time minutes after a golden miniboss is defeated.
• Cooldown can be customized or disabled.

⚖️ Boss Difficulty

Default boss balance is designed for groups of 3–4 players.

Difficulty progression:

Mistlands → Ashlands → Deep North

Boss health and attack values can be customized through JSON configuration files.

🗑️ Removed Content

To keep this rebuild focused and preserve vanilla biome content, the following features have been removed:

• Weapons and ores
• Vegetation
• Thor's Forge
• Overrides to vanilla Ashlands and Deep North content

Existing worlds may retain objects created by previous versions. See the cleanup commands below if you want to remove retired EVA objects.

📦 Requirements

📥 Installation

1. Install BepInExPack Valheim and Jötunn.

🗿 Summoning Recipes

Golden miniboss altars continue to use their corresponding vanilla trophies.

The default cooldown is 120 real-time minutes after a kill.

Configuration key: GoldenMinibossCooldownMinutes

Changelog

2.2.11

• Golden miniboss aura is dimmed (GoldenAuraIntensity, default 0.35; 1 is original brightness).
• Golden altar trophy costs are configurable. Defaults: Greydwarf 10, Troll 6, Wraith 8 (prefab value was 4). Existing worlds pick up the new counts on altar load.
• Golden miniboss altars show required trophy count on hover (e.g. 8× Wraith trophy).

2.2.10

• Compatibility check against Valheim 1.0.21 (Steam build 26249040).
• Load-time and FPS-oriented cleanup: narrower Harmony patching, cached asset-name lookup, skip unused creature prefabs, coroutine RPC registration, cheaper golden-altar cooldown checks.

2.2.7

• EVA_cleanup and EVA_upgrade run on dedicated servers when an admin uses the in-game console while connected (RPC to server).

2.2.6

• Restored optional EVA biome creatures with config toggles (default on): DeepNorthCreatures, AshlandsCreatures, OceanCreatures.
• Spawns match original EVA rates (chance, caps, intervals). Draugr Mariner still requires the Killed_Jotunn world key.

2.2.5

• Startup log uses the real plugin version.
• Missing nested attack prefabs are treated as optional (no crash).

2.2.3 / 2.2.4

• Boss HP tuned for 3–4 player groups (Queen 24k, Hel Demon 45k, Jotunn 100k).
• Deep North is the hardest EVA boss; Ashlands sits between Mistlands and Deep North.

2.2.2

• Golden miniboss coin payouts raised for a ~120 minute altar cooldown (per player).

2.2.1

• Golden miniboss altar cooldown after a kill (GoldenMinibossCooldownMinutes, default 120).

• Keeps only the three EVA bosses, three golden minibosses, altars, and vegvisirs.
