PC Keyboard and Mouse
Movement: W forward, A left, S backward, D right. Mouse controls camera look direction. Shift sprint when stamina available — Olympian (+10% stamina) extends sprint windows between island nodes.
Interact: E or F on prompts for gathering Wood and Stone, bench crafting, vendor transactions, and raft boarding. Prompt text appears when valid target in range.
Inventory: default Roblox inventory hotkey or click inventory icon. Drag items for Medkit use, companion equip, and Bonfire fuel placement.
Raft: F or E boards/disembarks when prompt visible. R reloads ranged weapons if applicable to weapon type. Esc opens Roblox menu overlay including Codes entry path for codes.
Combat and Boss Controls
Melee: left-click attack with Iron Sword, Cutlass, or Machete. Swordsman (+15% attack speed) increases click DPS rate on Ghost Captain adds.
Ranged: left-click fire Flintlock Pistol or Scoped Rifle. Aim weak points during Frost Giant shoulder crystal windows per boss fights.
Fire Staff: click for AOE fire bursts — Fire Mage primary. Tentacle Summon: ability key for Ancient Squid Kraken dive phases.
Medkit: select from inventory, click use at 50% HP threshold — do not spam at full health wasting craft mats from crafting.
Mobile Touch Controls
Movement: virtual joystick lower left. Camera: swipe right side of screen. Sprint: double-tap forward or dedicated sprint button if enabled in Roblox mobile settings.
Interact: tap prompt icons when near resources, bench, or raft edge. Tap accuracy matters for Fishing Rod reel timing on Starter Island practice.
Inventory: tap bag icon — drag to use Medkits and equip companions from STRANDEDDEVS chest.
Codes menu: tap Roblox menu → Codes. Paste with long-press — disable autocorrect before STRANDEDDEVS redemption per how to redeem.
Console Controller
Movement: left stick. Camera: right stick. Sprint: left stick click or L3 depending on Roblox console mapping.
Interact: A (Xbox) or X (PlayStation) on prompts. Inventory: Y or Triangle — slower than PC for Medkit panic heals during Lava Guardian.
Roblox menu for Codes: Xbox guide button or PlayStation options — navigate to Codes with D-pad. Virtual keyboard typing error-prone — use phone clipboard when possible.
Ranged aim: right trigger fire, left trigger aim if supported. Sharpshooter crit play harder on console — consider Soldier tank if aim difficulty high.
Crafting Bench and Raft Controls
Bench: interact at raft crafting station — browse recipe list from crafting. Select recipe, confirm craft if materials in inventory.
Bonfire: interact to open cooking UI — drag raw fish, confirm cook timer. Warm meals for Ice Island require Bonfire not bench.
Container Shelter: interact for storage sub-inventory if implemented in current patch — protects bulk mats during Kraken holds.
Grinder: interact, select item to recycle — returns partial Scrap Metal and Iron during failed boss gear recovery.
Accessibility and Settings Tips
Raise Roblox mouse sensitivity for Sharpshooter weak-point aim on Frost Giant. Lower sensitivity for smooth raft docking at Jungle Island.
Enable shift lock on PC for consistent strafe dodging on Ghost Captain deck. Mobile players use auto-shift-lock Roblox setting if available.
Remap conflicting keys if other Roblox experiences overwrote defaults — verify E and F both work on Starter Island gather nodes before Desert sail.
