Live Map

Flagship

Keep your current world open on a second screen and watch your position update as you explore, sail, and gather.

Follow your Viking

A dedicated map window that moves with you through your current world.

  • Follow mode keeps your player centered
  • Always-on-top option for the map window
  • Choose textured terrain or a biome map

Find what is nearby

See live observations of creatures, forage, mining deposits, fish, and chests as the game makes them available.

  • Search and filter marker categories and types
  • Inspect observed chest contents and creature details
  • Show your map pins and tombstones

Plan beyond the next hill

Optional generated markers help you look for boss sites, traders, dungeons, and resources beyond your immediate surroundings.

  • Control live and generated layers separately
  • Adjust each layer's opacity
  • Predicted markers describe world generation; they do not guarantee current resource availability

Explore dungeon interiors

The map switches to the active dungeon layout when that layout is available, with your position and observed creatures, resources, and chests inside.

In-Game Overlay

Keep your minimap, vitals, status effects, and direction to your target visible over the game, arranged to suit your screen.

Minimap and navigation

Bring the live map into your overlay and keep your destination in view.

  • On-screen minimap with the same marker preferences as the map window
  • Compass and directional arrow guide you to your tracked target
  • Target distance updates as you move

Vitals and status effects

Read health, stamina, and eitr at a glance, alongside separate buff and debuff displays.

  • Current and maximum values on the vital arcs
  • Remaining duration for timed status effects
  • Individual visibility controls for each widget

Make the layout yours

Edit the overlay over the game with live widget previews.

  • Move widgets and adjust their scale and opacity
  • Customize vital colors and status bar appearance
  • Change overlay text size
  • Reset the layout when you want a fresh start

Target Tracking & Farm Mode

Pick what you want to farm and let the map, compass, and arrow guide you from one nearby match to the next.

Nearby targets with distances, search, source filters, and individual or matching-target tracking

Farm the nearest match

Choose Boars and enable Track all matching. Farm mode automatically points you toward the nearest boar and keeps updating the target as you move and the available matches change.

  • Use the same workflow for other creatures and resources
  • Pause or stop tracking when plans change
  • Hide completed markers to keep the map focused

Choose your next destination

Select a target on the map or add a personal waypoint for the journey.

  • Search nearby targets by name
  • Filter by source, category, and marker type
  • See the distance before you set out

Save tracking setups

Name and save your current tracking selection or filters in the Companion, then load them again for another run.
