About this mod
The viking afterlife is cool, but chopping down one tree at a time while dodging Greydwarf ambushes gets tiring. The Surtling Helm throws away all that silly balance and pacing, cranks it up to 13, and lets you rain nuclear death across the land.

Guide
To get your helmet:
- Install BepInEx
- Install HookGen patcher
- Install ValheimLib
- Copy SurtlingHelm.dll into your BepInEx/plugins folder
- Find a basic workbench and craft your purple hood of imminent death! (for a one-time fee of Surtling Cores, Troll Hide, Linen Thread, and Surtling Trophies)
- Once equipped, press the fire key (default G) to shoot lasers (consumes 1 Surtling Core for every 5 seconds fired by default)
Config
The config file lives at BepInEx/config/SurthlingHelm.cfg. You can use it to configure the following features:
- Damage amounts for several types
- Whether the helm uses Surtling Cores to fire lasers (or should just fire for free)
- The cost to produce it (if you set all costs to 0, it will cost 1 wood)
- The level of workbench required to make it
