Cheb's Mythical Weapons

Cheb's Mythical Weapons adds powerful weapons, eg. Excalibur & the Bow of Apollo, to Valheim. The weapons are found in special locations; eg. Excalibur must be found somewhere in the world and only someone with 100 sword skill can remove it from the stone and use it.

Formerly called Cheb's Sword in the Stone, the mod has been renamed, at the request of the commissioner, due of the addition of the Bow of Apollo and upcoming other mythical weapons.

This mod was commissioned by Discord user Mintymintos. If you would like me to create a mod for you, please get in touch.

Config

Attention: To edit the config, the Configuration Manager is the most user friendly way. This is a separate mod. Please download and install it.

Press F1 to open the mod's configuration panel.

You can also edit the configs manually. Almost everything can be tweaked to your liking. For a complete list of all configuration options, please look here.

Known Issues

  • Quantity doesn't seem to be exact, rather approximate. This will hopefully be locked down and fixed in time.
  • If you use CLLC, the minotaur might drop a bazillion axes. Check your CLLC configuration to stop it from changing the minotaur's drops. Its drop is set to be one, and only one, axe.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
