Console commands

Races of Valheim registers four console commands through Jötunn.

Opening the console

Press F5 to open Valheim's console.

Most of these commands work without cheats enabled, but if a command reports nothing at all, type devcommands first.

The commands

resetrace

resetrace

Clears your character's race and reopens the selection screen.

Specifically, it:

• removes the saved race from your character
• removes the Fenrir curse and force-reverts any active Fenrir form
• removes the race status effects (Aswid, Skeleton and Skadi stats, Skadi cooldowns)
• restores your original skin colour, saved when you first picked a tinted race
• broadcasts Human to other players so their view of you resets too
• reopens the Choose your Race menu

This is the intended way to change race. You must be in-game — running it from the main menu prints "You must be in-game to reset your race."

caution

Resetting clears the race and its effects. It does not roll back permanent consequences — skill XP earned at a doubled rate stays earned.

checkprogression

checkprogression

Prints your current progression tier (1–8) to the console and flashes it on screen. Read-only and safe to use at any time.

increaseprogression

increaseprogression

Debug. Raises your effective tier by 1, up to a maximum of 8, without killing anything.

The first call snapshots your real tier and starts overriding from there. The override is local and temporary — it lives in memory for the session, does not touch the world's boss flags, and does not persist across a restart.

Useful for testing a race's late-game kit without a full playthrough.

resetprogression

resetprogression

Debug. Drops the override and returns you to the world's real progression tier, then prints what that tier actually is.

Tier reference

Tier	Boss
1	No bosses defeated
2	Eikthyr
3	The Elder
4	Bonemass
5	Moder
6	Yagluth
7	The Queen
8	Fader

Applying a change

Progression drives stats and unlocks that are recalculated when your equipment is next set up. After increaseprogression or resetprogression, the mod nudges that refresh for you — but if a newly granted ability seems inert, unequipping and re-equipping anything, or relogging, forces it.
