v1.6.4 — staggering forms and Skeleton helmets

Races of Valheim developer

Forms now reel when something staggers them, their attacks cost stamina, and Skeletons can show their helmet. Most of the fixes come from lexsonn's reports.

Skeleton helmets​

Turn on Show Helmet under Skeleton - Visuals and the helmet you wear sits on the skull, moved and enlarged to fit it, hoods included. Off by default. Each player picks their own, and other players see you the way you picked. Thanks to Jondar Korric, lexsonn and the friends on Discord. See Skeleton.

Forms​

  • Stagger: the Trol's True Form, the Fenrir forms, the Sverm Ravager and the Aswid bat reel back with the creature's own stagger animation, and the blow you were swinging no longer lands. The Muspell and the Skadi drake have no stagger animation in the game.
  • Stamina: True Form costs punch 10, log side swing 10, log overhead 12, ground slam 18. Fenrir forms cost less than weapons (Fenring 6/10/16, Wolf 4/6/10, Ulv 5/8/14, Cultist 6/12) and fill the adrenaline bar 1.5x faster. Every number has its own config entry.
  • Adrenaline: True Form, the Skadi drake's bite, the Ravager and the Muspell's stomp fill the bar on every hit.
  • Cultist: the claw lands with the swing, and the double claw hits twice at 60% each. The fire pours from both hands once the cast reaches its throw, the Cultist holds the pose and stands still while you hold the button, turns toward the camera, and drops its arms when you let go.
  • Headlamp: a headlamp or a torch follows the creature's head instead of hanging where your human head was.

See Fenrir and Trol.

Other fixes​

  • Trol: Grab Log works on the game's Use key, so a gamepad can grab logs too.
  • Trenta: from Bonemass, stamina comes back slowly while swimming (Swim Stamina Regen). Purple Rain heals the caster too. The Muspell no longer swings the weapon in your hand or fires a bow several times per stomp.
  • Alfar and Sverm: Grafvaettir drones mine copper, crypt scrap piles and tin, and reach the edge of big deposits. The Nexus drones and the Seeker Workers stop wandering after far-off animals. If you edited Mining Targets, add rock4_copper and mudpile yourself. Thanks to snakey for the reports.
