NPC dialogue
What Haldor, Hildir, the Bog Witch, the Dvergr and the dead bosses say.
Dvergr
random
- I hope this mine isn't as infested as the last.
- I wonder if we can bring this shipment home soon.
- Do you ever wonder what happened to Haldor?
- Those seekers are not to be messed with...
- La-di-di, la-di-da...
- I remember yet, the giants of yore...
- We built these mines, you know? And now look at us...
- These pests have spread further than I feared. At this rate, all our old mines will be overtaken.
- It must be strange, being human. Imagine having to crawl through small spaces!
- Is it true that there's no magic in Midgard?
- I think I'm going to sweat my beard off.
- I was made for dwelling below ground, among the cool rocks. Not this blistering heat.
- Careful, even the water here is boiling hot.
- My cousin is stationed in the lands of fog. Lucky Whitebeard...
- I wonder if there's any shade around here. Not that it'd help...
- Hm. Smells like rotten eggs.
- Mind your step. My brother lost a toe to the lava a while back.
- My sister tried to tame an asksvin, you know. It bit off her hand, even though they don't even eat meat!
- Vineberries, vineberries... I know I saw some around here...
- I could really use a mug of cold ale right now...
- When you think about it, this heat isn't worse than the heat from a good forge.
- Don't forget to wipe off that sweat! Or else a morgen might smell you and decide you're its dinner.
- Bloodstone, bloodstone, bloodstone, bloodstone...
- Be careful if you see a big pile of bones. It usually means one of those morgen creatures is nearby.
- Those undead bastards sure hoard some pretty gemstones...
- This place is astonishing! So much land still to explore!
- It may be warm, but the discoveries we make are their own reward.
- Ha! A Whitebeard would never dare to venture here.
- The Whitebeards could never withstand this heat. They just don't have the stones for it!
- I came upon a ruin with a whole flock of asksvin yesterday! They were there to search for food, methinks.
- You never know what you'll find out there in the mist.
- Best be on your guard.
- What's Midgard like, then? I've only ever heard the tales.
- Do all humans look like you? You're so... Nevermind.
- It's easy to lose track of the days out here...
- Us dvergr watch out for our own kin.
- Blasted seekers! I wish they'd all just shrivel up and die.
- I almost got completely drained by a tick once... But dvergr don't die that easily.
- It's a bit strange to think this was all once a great battlefield...
- If we could come through to here, it makes you wonder what else might...
greeting
- You're taller than I remember.
- So you're the one who's been causing such a ruckus.
- Hi there.
- Is that a human?
- Hello. You've travelled a long way.
- Who goes there?
- A living person, huh? That's a nice change of pace.
- Hello there.
- Greetings.
- Are you friend or foe?
- Hey! You there!
- Help me get out of here!
- A hand, perhaps?
- Over here!
- I'll help you if you help me.
- Norseman.
- Hello.
- Welcome.
- Åtett.
goodbye
- Farewell.
- Always watch out for the gjall.
- Goodbye for now.
- Maybe we'll meet again, maybe not.
- Safe journey to you.
- Take care now.
- Careful out there.
- Until next time.
- See you around. Or not.
- Tettå.
- Don't worry about me, I'll be fine without you.
- I suppose I'll find my own way out.
- Slay all the giantkind you can!
- Until we meet again, then.
- What are you looking at?
- I'm so far from home...
- Are you leaving?
- Be careful out there!
- Goodbye then.
- Don't get lost.
- Keep that wisplight close, you don't want to lose it.
- Tettå
warning
- Hey! Be careful with that.
- Cut that out!
- None of that, stop it!
- We're only good hosts as long as you're a good guest.
- You're close to overstaying your welcome, Norseman.
- Stop that!
- If you do that again, you won't like what happens.
- You're on thin ice.
- Hey!
- Stop that.
- Keep your hands to yourself.
- That's a good way to get yourself thrown into the lava.
- I really wouldn't do that if I were you.
- I wouldn't do that if I were you.
- Keep your hands to yourself!
- We were here first!
- Hands off!
- Touch that again and I'll chop your hand off.
- I'm warning you!
- We're not to be trifled with!
- You'd best be real careful. Or things will go badly for you.
angry
- I'll show you what magic can do!
- Damn you to Hel!
- You really shouldn't have done that!
- Dvergr, to me!
- The boiled pork has been fried now, alright!
- I'll teach you not to mess with us!
- I'll send you to where the pipe bends!
- Human scum!
- To Nidhögg with you!
- Oden can't help you now!
- We warned you!
- I'll get you for that!
- You're going down!
- I'll feed you to a bloody asksvin!
- Oh you little–
- I'll make you bleed!
- Kill the Norseman!
- Do you feel lucky?
- You'll regret this!
- You've planted your last turnip!
- I'll kick your arse!
- Enjoying shooting yourself in the foot, eh? I can help with that!
- So it's a fight you're after, then?
- I'll mop the floors with your guts!
- Into formation!
Giveitem
no
- Thanks, but I don't need that.
- Thanks but no.
- Not sure what I'd do with that.
- I wouldn't touch that with a ten foot iron beam.
- Just...no.
- That's not what I'm looking for.
- You can do better than that.
- I think you misunderstood my needs.
- No, and no.
- NO!
- I'm gonna have to say... no.
- A definite no on that one.
Haldor
greeting
- Humph! Another scrap of flesh from the Valkyries...
- Well?
- What do you want?
- Look a human
- Greetings Northman
- We have been expecting you
- Let us see what you are capable of!
- Show me what you can do!
- Prove yourself!
- Are you worthy?
- Let us see if you are worthy!
- Do you think you can defeat me?
- May the best warrior triumph!
- Shall we see who is the strongest?
- Finally a challenger!
- You seek to challenge me?
- Now this I have been waiting for!
- Fight me then!
- Prove your might!
- Is it blood that you are after?
- For victory!
- Come on then!
- Is it a fight you crave?
- At last!
- Shall we duel?
- Do not be shy, fight me!
goodbye
- Try not to wander too far. I want your things when you get killed.
- Away with you. I have things to do.
- Off you go then.
- Dont get lost
- See you again some day
trade
- I'm interested in trade, not chatter. Do you want to buy something or not?
- Come, let us make a deal.
- You're fortunate to have caught me in a good mood. Let us trade.
buy
- These are fine items, not the sort of things you can just pick up.
- Don't touch anything unless you're prepared to pay for it.
- Cast your eyes over my goods but keep your hands to yourself.
- Something here might keep you alive a little longer. Though I don't know why you'd bother.
sell
- Let's see what scraps you've picked up...
- Hmm, what have we here?
- I wonder if anything sparkles amongst all this muck you carry...
- Show me what you have.
smalltalk
- We're all lost here. The Gods turned their eyes from Valheim a long time ago.
- I suppose you're here to hunt the Forsaken Ones? I don't bother them and they don't bother me.
- Fight, build, explore. It all ends in the grave.
- You're no different to all the others that came before you, warrior. And you'll end the same way.
- Commerce is the only thing that separates us from the beasts.
random
- Stay away from our stuff
- You can warm your self at our fire
- Did i just hear something?
- Think I saw a Seeker over there.
- No building here
- His blade was dipped in poison, I stood no chance...
- Pain, sharp and excruciating. And then nothing.
- Fire doesn't warm me any longer, nor does it offer any true light.
- I don't recall what it was like to not be numb and cold.
- Her knife found my heart just as I slit her throat. We died next to each other.
- This is not Valhalla, nor is it Hel. No, this is something far worse.
- A dead man out of mind...
- Father... I failed you. I'm sorry...
- Forgive me, sister, for I could not follow in your footsteps.
- I went with him until the end...
- Is someone there? I... I could have sworn I saw somebody.
- Long forgotten... Lonely...
- Just one more step. Just one more.
- These were the last of the lands we knew...
- This waste I know not, nor this dark night...
- I thought I saw someone walking beside me, but it was but a shadow.
- I no longer feel the sun on my face, nor the ground beneath my feet.
- I've... I've become so very numb.
- My purpose has been served, yet no reward was given. Now I walk here, without a use...
- There is so much blood... How much can a person bleed before they are gone?
- The sorrow of my defeat, everlasting...
- I still feel the sharp antlers piercing my chest. When will I be free of this pain?
- I thought she was reaching out to me, but then lightning spilled from her fingertips.
- Such strange creatures there are to be found here. I had hoped they were friendly.
- Can you hear their voices? They still remain...
- I came so far, only for it to be over in the blink of an eye.
- Such beautiful shifting, undulating colours... Why can't I reach them?
- Was this my destiny? To fall before I ever reached my goal?
- So much blood spilled, and for what?
- Who shall tell my tale?
warning
- Dont do that
- Im warning you
- Stop
- This is our land
angry
- Now you done it
- Get em
- HUMAN!!
- NORTHMAN!
- Is that the best you can do?
- Come on! Fight me then!
- You can do better than that!
- Surely this is not your full power?
- Is that all?
- You must be stronger than this!
- Are you supposed to be worthy?
- Do not shame us!
- You forget your place!
- Is this a jest?
- Is that all you have?
- What else can you do?
- Now this is a fight!
- Let the blood stain the ground!
- Prove yourself then! Do it!
- Strike with all your might!
- I have seen mice more ferocious than you!
- An old spoon could hit harder than you!
- What a puny excuse for a champion!
- Are you all they could muster?
- They truly let anyone pick up a weapon these days!
- Do not humiliate your ancestors!
- A child could fight better!
- Are you truly even a viking?
- Come now, surely that is not all?
- Pathetic! Again!
- You call this fighting?
- And you call yourself a champion?
- Did no one ever teach you proper footwork?
- Is that truly the weapon you will bring to this fight?
- A greyling has more finesse than you!
- Did the Valkyries make a mistake with you?
- Do not hold back!
- A champion must strike true!
- This is no place for weakness!
- Long have I waited for this!
- Do you wish for me to slay you?
- I know you must be better than this!
- You have not come all this way for nothing!
- You must be one with your weapon!
Munin
general
- Kraa! Well met, wanderer… I am Munin, brother to Hugin. I bring greetings from the Allfather. His eye sees through mine, I carry his words beneath my tongue. Keep his ways and I will come to you again…
- Kraa! All eyes are on this one. Big eyes, little eyes, eyes from above and eyes from below. Even the trees have eyes…
- Still you live, warrior? I had hoped for some little snack from your corpse, some morsel of carrion… Still, the Allfather will be pleased.
- Are you lost in the fog, warrior? I see things your eyes once knew, paths you trod and faces you loved. Poor warrior…
- Kraa! Do not forget your quest, wanderer! Remember why the Allfather sent you here. The Forsaken Ones must be destroyed. Remember!
- Ah, you have grown into a fine warrior! As a courtesy, I should tell you that when you die, we have agreed that Hugin will have your left eye as a treat and I will have your right. But we wish you well!
- Kraa! Serve the Allfather well and he has given me leave to restore your memories. Do you remember the life you had before this one? It yet remembers you...
- I had not thought you would survive so long… But guard against pride, friend. Battlefields are banquets to me, I know how all great warriors end...
- Kraa! Hear me now, I'll riddle you no longer. I am great Munin, the treasure-house of memory. I sit on the left shoulder of the Allfather and do his bidding in the ten worlds. I have seen many great warriors rise and fall but you are among the greatest. Know that Oden himself is watching you...
- Kraa! The Allfather sends tidings! He waits on your word to send the great bridge. Kill the Forsaken Ones and clear the way!
Valkyrie
end
- Valkyrie
The dead speak
Lines from the bosses (and others) after they die.
- So you were my death? You look so small and soft… Tell Oden he may have broken this form but the wilderness will never submit to his rules...
- Little thing of blood and bone, I should have snapped you like a twig! Now I wither and die, let the great tree have me...
- Thank you, warrior. We who lived on in this shape were denied the peace of death for too long. We go now...
- Sheathe your pride, creature of Oden! My long reign is at an end but those who come after me are greater still...
- Do you come to gloat, little thing? Do you know how many times I have been killed, broken, banished, burned and buried? You are not the first and you will not be the last.
- Don't worry. Be happy.
- Take me to the river... Drop me in the water...
- I'm a perch, not a bass!
- You're supposed to put heads on a pike, not put a pike on a wall...
- I've got this tune stuck in my head...
- It's so cold... And dark... But I like it that way.
- Stop it with the baiting already!
- What's that nasty smell? Surely it couldn't be me!
- I'm dead but not gone. Won't you free me from this cursed purgatory?
- Do you ever wonder what lurks in the deepest parts of the ocean? Don't. It's better not to know.
- Do you see the light? It beckons you...
- Once I was free to jump upstream. But no longer.
- Please lay me to rest by the fire...
- Have you seen my friend around? Her name is Anika.
- You think you beat us? Think again... We are still, and forever will be the hive - and the hive is unbeatable.
- Tell Oden that my kin will bring forth another... A monarch never dies.
- I followed a false destiny, and it gave me nothing but ruin. Forgive me, my love...
