Olympian Arsenal

Weapons, a tool, a shield and armor inspired by God of War, rebuilt for Valheim's look: original low-poly models, textures and effects. Every item grows through four upgrade levels, each with its own look and new abilities.

1.0.1: change the mod's keys in the Esc menu (Olympian Keys). Fan-made and not affiliated with or endorsed by Sony Interactive Entertainment or Santa Monica Studio.

What is in it:

• Four weapons: Blade of Olympus, Blades of Chaos, Leviathan Axe, Mjolnir
• One tool: Huldra Pick
• One shield: Guardian Shield
• One armor set: Valkyrie armor (breastplate, legguards, helm)

Installation

• Install Olympian Arsenal with a mod manager ( Mod Manager, r2modman). It also installs BepInEx and Jotunn for you.
• For the in-game settings window (F1), also install a Configuration Manager mod such as shudnal-ConfigurationManager. Without one, edit BepInEx/config/com.olympianarsenal.valheim.cfg with the game closed (the file appears the first time the game starts with the mod). The keys don't need it: they are in the Esc menu, under Olympian Keys.
• If you installed an earlier hand-made zip of this mod, uninstall it first.
• On a dedicated server, install the whole package there too (the models and textures are part of it).

Multiplayer and saves

• Everyone who joins, and the host or server, needs the mod on the same version, 1.0.x. A player on another version number (0.7.x, for example) is refused when joining.
• Never load a character, chest or world that holds these items while the mod is removed, disabled or too old to have the item. Valheim deletes items it does not know, and they stay gone once the game saves. Back up your characters and worlds first, and empty the items out of your world and character before you uninstall.

Controls (read this once)

To change a key: press Esc, click Olympian Keys, click Change next to the key, then press the new key or mouse button. It works at once (no restart) and is saved. Esc cancels a change; Default puts a key back. Under each key the window says when the same button also does something else: one of Valheim's controls (as you have them set), another Olympian key, or an EpicLoot ability hotkey.

Special 1 starts on middle click, which is also Valheim's default Secondary attack key. On the game's default keys the two clash: your level 2 special does nothing and the game says so on screen. Fix it once: Esc > Olympian Keys > Change next to Special 1, then press a free button, for example the Forward side button of the mouse or a letter key. Or move Secondary attack in Valheim's own settings and leave Special 1 on middle click.

The keys:

• Special 1: middle click. The drawn weapon's level 2 special (Judgment, Plume of Prometheus, Hel's Touch, Gale).
• Special 2: the Back side button of the mouse (Mouse4). The level 4 special. No side button? Pick another key.
• Mjolnir throw / pull: G. Recall: H (calls back a thrown Leviathan Axe or Mjolnir). Leviathan throw: off by default (the axe is thrown with the Secondary attack); give it a key to throw with that key too, or Clear it again.
• With Mjolnir drawn, G only throws it and doesn't also open Valheim's radial menu. The switch for that is in the same window.
• A special key that is also your Attack, Secondary attack or Block key, or another key of this mod, does nothing and says so on screen.
• Keyboard keys and mouse buttons only: there are no gamepad bindings.
• EpicLoot's ability hotkeys default to G, H and J, the same as Mjolnir's throw and the recall key. The game tells you once on screen when you enter a world, and the Olympian Keys window shows it under the key; change one of them.
• The same keys are also under F1 > Controls (with a Configuration Manager mod) and in the config file under [Controls] (edit it with the game closed).

Weapons

As in vanilla, each upgrade needs a crafting station one level higher than the last. Each level's materials can be changed in F1 (see Configuration).
