Sakey's Sneaking Box📦

Hey. …Kept you waiting, huh?

I recently got myself a cardboard box.

“You mean… just a box?📦”

Well, yeah… but apparently, it's indispensable in a certain world. Taking a page from his book, I went on a little solo infiltration mission into the Black Forest.

So, what do you think?

Strange, isn't it? Nobody seems to notice me.

Every now and then, I'd deliberately stand up, then immediately crouch back down and return to the box just to mess with the Greydwarfs. I mean, all I did was get inside a cardboard box, yet even when I'm this close, they lose sight of me almost immediately.

Could this really be the legendary cardboard box I've heard so much about?

“What? You think it won't work on bosses?”

I don't know. Their biology is shrouded in mystery. At the very least, the Elder and Moder both narrowed their eyes and stared right at me.

Still, getting inside a cardboard box right in front of a boss is the kind of thing that would probably get you a, “Are you kidding me?”

I've only ever operated on solo missions.

But if you're able to form a team and carry out missions together, it might be fun to give it a try. I'd love to hear how they reacted. I'll even show you how to make one and how to get them into the merchant's supply chain. Here you go.

…Huh?

You want to know how a cardboard box can be made from a sea serpent?

Well, isn't it obvious?

Come on, you know the answer.🐍

Besides, if you've come to this world, you have to learn how to desperately run for your life through the Black Forest while being chased by trolls and hordes of dwarfs, right?

It's a rite of passage for everyone.

Oh, and the merchant sells them, too.

But they're 500 coins.

You can either set sail and hunt down a sea serpent,

or save up your coins and set out on a journey to find the merchant.

The choice is yours.

A simple boat won't keep you alive for long, and saving up 500 coins can be quite a chore.

F1?⌨

…Well, do whatever you like.

You remember that snake who escaped from that cell, right? He used a cardboard box to help keep himself warm. Pretty good insulation, after all.

――Oh, right. One more thing. When your stamina runs out, you won't be able to stand up and put the cardboard box over yourself.

Can't be helped. Sneak gets canceled, so you can't crawl along the floor like a snake. You get it, right? That's just how it works.

Oh, and one more thing. Be careful around bodies of water that look shallow enough to cross. The cardboard box is waterproof, but if the water is too deep for your feet to touch the bottom, you can't keep it over yourself.

###That's right. It's a feature. Just… work with it, okay?

This is what happened when I went on a solo infiltration mission into the Ashlands earlier, energy drink in hand.

Oh, don't worry, I know.

You want to try it yourself, right?

If you don't want to know what happens, you don't have to watch.

Ah, almost forgot.

There's a chance that people who have been reincarnated into this other world might not actually be able to hide properly inside the cardboard box.

This cardboard box was made for the people of this world, and apparently nobody from another world has tried using one yet.

Why not give it a try? I'd like to know too, whether you actually disappear from sight… or whether it doesn't work.

ESP?

Oh, yeah. Apparently there's some amazing thing that lets you investigate things in great detail.

But I'd rather enjoy this without knowing all the answers.

If you're curious, go ahead and get inside the cardboard box and find out for yourself.

Just be careful with your stamina. That noisy quack on the radio told you about it, didn't he?

Well then, good luck.

I wish you success on your mission.

【How to Use】

1. Equip the cardboard box.

2. Crouch.

That's it!

Slopes can be a little tricky, though.

It's just a box, but out in the field, it's a reliable ally.

Use it wisely.

【Detailed Description】

Sorry for the overly MGS-flavored description. (lol)
Let me add a few more details.

However, I think this joke mod becomes less fun if you know too much about how it works, so this section is only for those who want to know more.

<!-- open属性なし -->

Wanna read it? (lol)

If you're familiar with Valheim's enemy AI, you probably already know that enemies have detection abilities such as sight and hearing. With this cardboard box, however, both stealth and noise can be completely eliminated.

However, the effect only applies while you are actually wearing the cardboard box. In this mod, the cardboard box is equipped as a utility item, and when you crouch, your character is replaced by the cardboard box.
