Iron Gate’s viking survival sim Valheim packs a lot into its ethereal world, but pet dogs aren’t one of its delights. Thankfully, a new mod corrects that oversight, allowing players to earn their way into Valhalla with a faithful canine companion.
The “Goodest Boy” mod is created by OdinPlus Team (as spotted by PC Games N) and introduces both dogs and rabbits to the open-world game. The mod’s creators describe it as:
“Rabbits have invaded the meadows, they are eating all the berries and just being complete pests. What can we do? Well, never fear, GoodestBoy is here.
Find your ‘BestestDog’ roaming in the BlackForest when raining, lost, wet, scared, alone and looking for treats….”
Like most creatures in Valheim, dogs will need to be tamed before players can start making digital pupper memes with them. This requires giving them two new items also introduced by the mod, YummyBones & BestestStick, which must be crafted from other items found in-game.
OdinPlus Team says “the BestestDog loves these things and will tame pretty quick once finding them and be your forever friend.” For added cuteness, when a tamed dog is happy, it will carry its own BestestStick around with it.
