📋 About This Mod

The Norman Stone Keep Castle project. It's a world save with a massive norman "box style" castle located up on the hill near the river, not far away from the spawn point. Well defended medieval donjon is surrounded by the stone walls with a hoardings.

The norman castle is really huge! Be prepared to take a walk up one the castle walls with a towers. Get in to the courtyard and visit a christian church and a blacksmith house. Feel yourself as ruler of the medieval Normandy! Make a feast in the Great Hall of the castle or take a rest in your private chambers!

 

How to install:1. Go to the game WORLDS folder located here: C:\Users\%username%\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim\worlds\ (just copy this link, next press Windows Key + R to launch Windows Run dialog box, paste it and press Enter).

2. Download the zip file from here on the Nexus.

3. Extract the contents of the zip file and copy two extracted files in to your WORLDS folder.


How to get to this castle?

You'll see a road sign at the spawn area. Just follow this road.

  


This castle is really massive. And it's really too difficult to keep fire in all fireplaces and torches. That's why I strongly suggest to use Fireplace Utilities mode. With this mode you won't need in fuel resources much longer. It will automatically turn on/off all sources of light in a day time, what saves you from lags and freezes.

Also try HD Valheim textures. It will make an enviroment to look much more realistic and beautiful.



Feel free to use this map for single and/or online gaming on your servers.
