Skyheim 1.0 Fix
A temporary compatibility fix for Skyheim by makail
Important Credit & Disclaimer
This is NOT an original mod.
All credit for Skyheim goes to the original developer makail (also known as Makzimus).

This package is a temporary community fix created by cjayride because the original mod has not received updates in approximately 2 years.
The goal of this fix is simply to keep Skyheim working with the current version of Valheim (including the 1.0 / Deep North update) until the original author is able to update it (or until a better long-term solution appears).
If makail ever releases an official update, please switch back to the original mod and discontinue use of this fix.
What is Skyheim?
Skyheim is a magic mod for Valheim that provides balanced progression and a reason to revisit bosses. Bosses drop unique crafting ingredients used to craft and upgrade runes that let you cast a variety of beneficial and destructive spells. The mod also allows early/mid-game access to Eitr by imbuing armor with Eitr Shards.
Features include:
- Rune Altar for crafting/upgrading runes and imbuing armor
- Multiple spell runes (offensive and supportive)
- Armor imbuement for Eitr capacity and regeneration
- Progression tied to boss kills and dungeon exploration
Latest Update (1.3.27)
- Asset-bundle scripts bind again. The plugin log line is Skyheim 1.3.27.
Latest Update (1.3.26)
- Bosses drop the configured eitr_shard_drop stack (Eikthyr is 5). Edit BepInEx/config/cjayride.SkyheimEitr.cfg.
Latest Update (1.3.25)
- Boss eitr shard amounts (and stack size 50) are in skyheim.dll. Edit BepInEx/config/cjayride.SkyheimEitr.cfg. Compat stays localization/HUD/runes only.
Latest Update (1.3.24)
- Requires Skyheim Compat 1.1.10 (poison/AoE NullReferenceException in Skyheim's damage postfix).
- Compat 1.1.5+ fixes enchanted-armor tooltip crashes and first-hover display.
- Fixed item names and descriptions in-game (no more missing/blank localization).
- Fixed a crash that occurred when trying to craft items (including with devcommands).
- Added a configuration file for all runes (enabled, cooldown, Eitr, stamina, range, damage).
Installation
r2modman / Gale
Install Skyheim 1.0 Fix. Skyheim Compat is a required dependency and will install automatically.
Do not install makail-Skyheim at the same time. Gale/r2modman will still label the plugin Skyheim 1.3.12; the Fix package is the rewritten skyheim.dll. If the log shows TypeLoadException / SkyheimAltarPanel:_leftSlot / Element, you have the original DLL.
Manual
- Make sure you have BepInEx installed.
- Remove any previous version of Skyheim (original or other fixes).
- Install both this package and Skyheim Compat 1.1.10.
- Keep skyheim.json next to skyheim.dll.
- Launch the game.
Notes
- This is intended as a stop-gap solution only.
- Please support the original author if they return to the project.
- Report any issues with this specific fix to cjayride.
Thank you to makail for creating such a well-loved mod.

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:
