Five boss-themed Utility rings with permanent powers, biome mastery and restored creature alliances.
About this mod Author’s original text
Master Rings
Master Rings adds five boss-themed Utility rings to Valheim. Each ring is crafted from the trophy of a defeated boss and is designed to make returning to that boss's biome feel like you have truly mastered it.
Only one MasterRing can be equipped at a time. Other Utility items remain untouched, including when another mod provides several Utility slots.
The rings provide regional bonuses in their associated biome, while some also grant unique powers wherever they are worn. They are intentionally strong quality-of-life rewards: you defeated the ruler of the biome, and now you carry a piece of that power with you.
This is my first Valheim mod. Feedback and multiplayer testing are welcome.

- The movement bonus does not apply on constructed floors, dirt paths or paved roads, to avoid excessive stacking with path-speed mods.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- 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.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- 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.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
