📋 About This Mod
3. April 2022 - Version 0. 1. 2
Added the possibility to manually set the attacks on a certain key. The solution is not quite satisfying but should do the trick (if I find the time maybe I can create a GUI).
The config now contains 4 possible attack keys and their corresponding lists with attack names. You edit the list with the attacks that are executed when you click the attack button. To see the attack names of a beast ride it an press the ListAttacksKey (default p). The attacks of the beast should now be printed in the console.
For the standard settings (without ModMode) nothing changes and the lox still has his two attacks.
1. April 2022
-Added experimental mod mode which tries to find a creatures attack in a more universal way. Can be enabled in the config file.
Description:
This mod enables attacking with Lox while riding. There are 2 configurable hotkeys for both attacks (default 'g' and 'h'). By default the first attack unlocks at riding skill 10 and the second at 20. These values can also be changed in the config.
Mousebuttons should work now. (for example: 'mouse 0')
Valheim Riding Attack is a small gameplay mod that lets players attack while riding a Lox, with two configurable hotkeys (default 'g' and 'h'). The first attack unlocks at riding skill 10, the second at 20, both adjustable in config. With 39 endorsements and last updated in 2022, it's a niche utility for Lox riders.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Fills a real gap—Lox were useless in combat before this.
- Hotkeys are remappable, so you can set them to whatever feels natural.
- Configurable skill gates mean you can tune progression to your playstyle.
⚠️ Cons
- Tiny mod with only 39 endorsements—community hasn't fully vetted it.
- Last updated in 2022—might break with newer Valheim patches.
- No documentation on how to install or configure beyond the basics.
For Valheim players who've tamed a Lox and want to actually use it in fights. If you're tired of dismounting every time something attacks, this is for you. Skip if you rarely ride Lox or prefer pure vanilla combat.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have BepInEx installed, as most Valheim mods require it.
- After installing, launch the game once to generate the config file, then edit the hotkeys and skill levels to your liking.
- Test the attacks on a low-level Lox first—skill requirements mean you won't see the second attack until level 20.
