Our custom magical Valheim experience
About this mod Author’s original text
Shieldwall Skald
Welcome to Shieldwall Skald, our very own Valheim server and custom modpack! This is where we, a group of some friends, come together to explore, build, fight, and share adventures in the Viking afterlife.
For a while now, we've been venturing through Valheim’s vast landscapes, taking on trolls, sailing across stormy seas, and building glorious settlements, sharing laughs, triumphs, and the occasional death-scream when a Deathsquito shows up uninvited. Now, with our custom modpack, we've taken things to the next level! Whether it's crafting, farming, exploring, or battling, these mods enhance our gameplay experience and let us create even greater tales of Viking legend.
We hope it inspires us (and maybe others!) to keep building, exploring, and conquering in this incredible game.
If you're here, you're either one of us, or you're curious about what mods we're using. Either way, welcome to the saga of Shieldwall Skald!

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:
