BlightedWorldHeart

🌑 The Corrupted Core

Forged from the twisted remains of "The Hive," the Blighted World Heart beats with a sinister, pulsating malice. This towering abomination anchors the nightmare, serving as the nucleus of the raid and the prime target your clan must annihilate to stem the tide of darkness.

🩸 Universal Desecration

No sanctuary is safe. This cataclysm can be invoked at any existing vanilla boss altar.

By sacrificing the required biome-specific trophies, you corrupt the ancient stones, tearing open a rift for the Blighted World Heart to erupt into existence. Transform any boss spawn in your world into a legendary battleground!

🌪️ Biome-Dynamic Onslaught

The Blighted World Heart is a living, adapting nightmare. It bends the very environment to its will depending on where it is unleashed:

• Twisted Visuals & Mechanics 🎭 - The Heart warps its horrific appearance and deadly characteristics to mirror the biome it infests.
• Relentless Hordes 🧟 - The endless, surging waves of enemies are ripped directly from the local environment. A Heart in the Black Forest will unleash suffocating swarms of Greydwarves led by towering Trolls, while a desecrated altar in the Plains will crush you beneath a stampede of bloodthirsty Fulings and enraged Loxes.
• Monstrous Sub-Bosses 👹 - When you strike the Heart and shatter its health thresholds, it retaliates by summoning colossal, biome-dependent Sub-Bosses. These behemoths offer unique, devastating mechanics tailored to break your spirit.

✨ Epic Features

• The Blighted World Heart: A corrupted monstrosity summoned via dark sacrifices. Once awakened, it unleashes an unrelenting, endless tide of foes. Survive, or be consumed!
• Nightmarish Sub-Bosses: As the Heart bleeds, it calls forth scaled-up champions of the horde (e.g., furious 2-Star Loxes, titanic Trolls, and terrifying Seekers) that must be slaughtered to proceed.
• Legendary Custom Loot System: Triumph over the Heart to claim the ultimate prize: Blighted Gear. Discover over 360+ incredibly rare, unique Blighted variations of Vanilla weapons and armors, forged in the heat of battle — including the full Valheim 1.0 Deep North set of Frost-Fire gold weapons and Deep North armor!
• Dynamic Multiplayer Scaling: The spoils of war grow with your warband. The Heart guarantees 3 legendary loot drops upon its destruction, plus 1 additional artifact for every Viking brother or sister who stood by your side.
• Fully Server Authoritative & Synced: Forged for dedicated realms. Every brutal config value is locked in server-side and automatically synchronized via Jotunn.
• Sleek Custom UI: Keep your eyes on the prize with a beautifully dynamic Boss Health Bar that relentlessly tracks the Heart and its summoned Sub-Bosses.
• Wacky's Database Compatibility: Safely customize the stats, recipes, and requirements of any Blighted Item using Wacky's Database! WackyDB is auto-detected on startup, handing full authoritative control of Blighted Items over to your YAML configurations. A Blighted recipe with a WackyDB YAML (name: Recipe_Blighted...) is left entirely to that YAML; every other Blighted recipe keeps its normal upgrade cost. Blighted items stay drop-only (hidden from the Craft tab) until you give one a real level-1 cost in its recipe YAML — then it becomes craftable.
