Skateheim

Press J (or click both sticks in) and your Viking drops onto a board running Skate 3's real engine, with Skate 3's own sounds. Press it again and you're back in Valheim, right where you stopped.

What you get

• Skate 3's actual physics, flick-it tricks, grinds and follow camera, riding Valheim's terrain, rocks, trees and everything you've built
• Ledges, walls and beam edges around you turn into grind rails automatically
• Your Viking is animated by the Skate 3 skater, on Skate 3's own skateboard
• Triangle / Y steps off the board to walk, just like Skate 3
• R1 / RB swings your board at Greydwarfs, Greylings, boars and trolls (never other players or your tamed animals)
• D-pad Up: High Pump. D-pad Down: Dunno
• Portals and water drop you safely back into Valheim

Skate 3's sound

• Skate 3's own rolling that follows your speed, with the trucks rattling and wind at speed; built floors sound like wood, stone or iron
• Pops when you flick a trick, flip and spin whooshes, and landings as loud as the impact
• Grinds, boardslides, powerslides, reverts and Hall of Meat bails
• Stepping off your board and getting back on
• Clean, like in Skate 3, and it follows Valheim's sound-effects volume

Controls Plays best on a PS5, PS4 or Xbox controller, with Skate 3's original layout. Keyboard works too: WASD to steer, arrow keys for flick-it, Space to push.

What you need

• Valheim on PC
• Your own copy of Skate 3 for Xbox 360 (the extracted folder with default.xex). Melty finds it on your PC and prepares it automatically the first time you press Play, sounds included.
