wield a weapon in adventure mode
« on: September 01, 2018, 04:25:10 pm »

Hi,

How do I wield a weapon in adventure mode? I threw my spear at a camel and now I've been spending the last 20 minutes on how to get it back in my hands. K thanks bye,

r - remove from backpack (and keep in hand)
q - switch, either wield weapons/shield strapped to upper body, or strap if already wielded (strap all, but wield only as many as you have hands)
I - (key of your weapon) - a - gain possession of item held, but stuck in an opponent; alternatively you can move away from the opponent

If a weapon is stuck but you don't hold it (for example an arrow) you need either to kill the opponent, or use wrestling. Wrestling is a bit complicated, but you have to attack normally first, and then use wrestle option, then select which party of your body will be wrestling, and finally which party of the opponent's body (or equipment) will be targeted, which may include the stuck item. Wrestling may fail, however, because opponent is too agile or strong.
