</>What does Skald's Saga do?
Valheim spent five and a half years in Early Access without a single achievement. Version 1.0 turned up with 53 of them, which means every felled Elder, every sunken longship and every hard-won Plains fort from before September counts for exactly nothing on your profile. Skald's Saga writes those deeds down. Refresh the list to see every achievement the game is tracking and which ones you already hold, then award a single one or the entire saga in one press. Each deed lands on Steam and on your in-game achievement screen at the same time, so the two agree instead of arguing. Changed your mind and want to earn them honestly after all? Wipe The Saga clears every deed and the tallies behind them — kills, items crafted, pieces placed — and hands you a genuine blank slate. Worth knowing: Valheim 1.0 stops counting achievements at all once it decides your game has had a helping hand, so if you also use the console or mods from elsewhere, run our Clean Record alongside this one.
</>What is Skald's Saga?
Valheim 1.0 added 53 achievements after five and a half years with none at all. Skald's Saga lays the full list in front of you once your world is loaded, then awards one deed or the whole saga in a single press, with Steam and your in-game achievement screen both updated. Free tier on ProjectMods, the community-first PC mod manager for 400+ games.
</>Common questions about Skald's Saga
What does Skald's Saga do in Valheim?
Skald's Saga awards Valheim's achievements, either one at a time or all 53 at once. Valheim spent five and a half years in Early Access with no achievements whatsoever, and version 1.0 finally added them, which means every Elder you felled and every longship you sank before that counts for nothing on your profile. Skald's Saga writes those deeds down. Each one is sent to Steam properly and ticked on Valheim's own achievement screen at the same time, so the two lists agree instead of arguing with each other. It is a free-tier mod on ProjectMods, the community-first PC mod manager and desktop app.
How do I award a single achievement instead of all 53?
Press Refresh Deed List first, then pick what you want from the Select Deed dropdown and press Record Selected Deed. That awards exactly one achievement and nothing else moves. Record Every Deed is the separate button that hands you all 53 of Valheim's achievements in a single press. The two are kept apart on purpose, because plenty of players only want the three or four they genuinely earned across Early Access rather than the complete set. Both routes mark the achievement on Steam and on Valheim's in-game achievement screen, so whichever you choose, your profile and the game stay in step.
Why is the deed list empty when I first open Skald's Saga?
Because Valheim does not put its achievement list together until you are actually standing in a world. Load your save first, then press Refresh Deed List and Skald's Saga pulls in every achievement Valheim is tracking, including which ones you already hold. The Select Deed dropdown fills in immediately afterwards. If you open the mod at the main menu the list will look broken, but nothing is wrong, there is simply nothing there yet. Get into your world, press Refresh, and all 53 deeds appear with your current progress listed alongside them.
What does Wipe The Saga clear in Valheim?
Wipe The Saga clears every achievement you hold and the tallies sitting behind them: kills, items crafted, pieces placed, the running counters Valheim uses to decide when a deed has been earned. That distinction matters. Clearing only the trophies would leave the counters full, so Valheim would hand several achievements straight back the moment you swung an axe. Skald's Saga resets both, which gives you a genuine blank slate rather than an empty shelf with a loaded spring behind it. Use it if you awarded yourself the whole saga, felt hollow about it, and would rather go and earn the 53 honestly.
How does Skald's Saga pair with Clean Record in Valheim?
They solve two halves of the same problem, so they are worth running together. Valheim 1.0 quietly stops awarding achievements once it decides your game has had a helping hand, and it never tells you, so you just notice nothing arriving. Clean Record switches that judgement off so achievements keep counting. Skald's Saga then writes down the deeds you want. If Valheim has already made that call, new deeds may still show on your in-game screen while never reaching Steam, which is exactly what Clean Record fixes. Both are free-tier mods on ProjectMods and install with one click.
