About this mod Author’s original text

Haldor Expansion

Current version: 1.2.2

Haldor Expansion is a Valheim mod for BepInEx + Jotunn that expands Haldor's trading and adds unique risk-reward equipment with custom combat mechanics.

The mod is designed for multiplayer and dedicated servers, supports English and Russian localization, and keeps shop prices and progression settings synchronized from the server.

What's new in 1.2.0

Version 1.2.0 adds three major items built around new survival and archer playstyles:

  • Hel's Oath — a high-risk bow centered around sacrificing health for stamina, building Hel's Touch, and unleashing Hel's Embrace;
  • Pelt of Helheim — a dark archer cloak that completes the Fenris + Hel's Oath setup and grants Very Resistant to Pierce while the full synergy is active;
  • Thread of the Norns — a one-use trinket that breaks to prevent lethal damage and briefly protects the wearer afterward.

The update also expands custom visuals, embedded icons, multiplayer handling, and item-specific mechanics.

Unique item mechanics

Hel's Oath

A bow built around a glass-cannon stamina playstyle.

Hel's Sacrifice

While Hel's Oath is equipped:

  • 50% of maximum health is converted into maximum stamina;
  • grants +20 Bows skill;
  • the bow favors extreme stamina investment over safe health stacking.

Fenris — Hel's Touch

Wearing the full Fenris set allows bow damage from Hel's Oath to awaken Hel's Touch.

  • builds up to five stages;
  • each stage improves movement speed and reduces stamina costs;
  • at Touch V the total bonus reaches +25% movement speed and -20% stamina cost for all actions;
  • taking a combat hit removes one stage;
  • removing Hel's Oath or breaking the full Fenris set disables the bonuses immediately;
  • stored Touch stages survive for a short grace period, then decay one by one if the required loadout is not restored.

Hel's Embrace

Bow damage charges Hel's Embrace. When the charge reaches 100%, the ability is ready to use.

  • press the middle mouse button (Mouse2) to activate Hel's Embrace;
  • th

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:
