About SurtlingCompanion

From Thunderstore

Craft the Surtling Raiser at the forge to summon a tamed Surtling that follows you, fights and lights the way. Upgrade it for starred Surtlings.

Surtling Companion

Craft the Surtling Raiser at the forge and summon your own tamed Surtling. It follows you, fights with its normal fire attacks, and lights up the dark like a wild Surtling.

Features

  • Surtling Raiser – a staff crafted and upgraded at the forge. Equip it and attack to summon.
  • Starred summons – the staff's upgrade level decides the Surtling's stars.
  • One companion at a time – summoning again replaces your current Surtling.
  • Tame behavior – press E to pet it and toggle follow/stay, Shift+E to rename it. Every summon starts out named Surtur.
  • Costs 50 stamina plus a health sacrifice per summon, like the Dead Raiser (no eitr needed). Both costs shrink as your Blood Magic skill rises, and summoning trains Blood Magic.
  • Drops 1 Surtling Core and 1 Coal when it dies.
  • Unsummons if you move too far away or log out.

Recipes (Forge)

| Level | Cost | Summons | |---|---|---| | Craft | 5 Surtling Core, 1 Wisp | Surtling (no star) | | Upgrade 2 | 7 Surtling Core, 2 Wisp | 1-star Surtling | | Upgrade 3 | 10 Surtling Core, 3 Wisp | 2-star Surtling |

Multiplayer

The mod is client-side, so servers don't need it. Everyone near your Surtling should have it installed, though: the game can hand control of a creature to a nearby player, and a player without the mod can't run it.

Configuration

BepInEx/config/lamento87.SurtlingCompanion.cfg lets you adjust where the Surtling trophy sits in your hand (offset, rotation, scale). Restart the game after changing it.
