📋 About This Mod
Provides 3 simple toggles when creating a new character:
- Hardcore: If a character flagged as hardcore dies, the user is automatically logged out and the character deleted.
- Skip Intro: Enabling this skips the text scroll and Valkyrie flight upon initial login.
- Disable Tutorials: Enabling this prevents Hugin's tutorial messages.
Hardcore is a small gameplay mod for Valheim that adds three toggles at character creation: a hardcore mode that deletes your character and logs you out on death, and an option to skip the intro text scroll and Valkyrie sequence. It has 29 endorsements and was last updated in April 2021.
