Roblox Arcane Odyssey is an open world action-MMORPG game that will be releasing for the platform. In this experience, you will be embarking on an epic journey through the War Seas, taking part in the conflicts of kingdoms and organizations striving for power. Many will die, but only the strong survive in this harsh, magic-polluted world. From outcast to living legend, will people grow to fear your name, or worship it? If you want to know what the controls are in Arcane Odyssey, we’ll tell you what you need to know in this guide.
If you want to know more about the game, be sure to head over to the Arcane Odyssey Trello. There will also likely be freebies, which we will have on our Arcane Odyssey Codes page.
Arcane Odyssey Controls List
If you open the Settings (N key), you can change the dodging method to the Shift key. You will then dodge in the direction you are running when you hit Shift. If you hold Shift without moving, you will recharge your Energy.
To open your Hotbar/Backpack, you need to press the ` or ~ (Tilde) key that is to the left of the 1 key and above TAB (if you’re on a 60% keyboard, try Fn+Shift Key + Esc – you might need to check the manufacturer settings on your keyboard). Once you press that key, your backpack will open and you can drag items from your hotbar to the backpack. You can also move your items around to different slots.

If you are having trouble with Shift Lock in the game, you will need to enable it in the Settings. Hit Escape on your keyboard or hit the Roblox logo button at the top left of your screen. Select the Settings option and make sure “Shift Lock Switch” is toggled to ON. Once you have this enabled, hit the Left-Alt key on your keyboard to enable Shift Lock.
That’s everything you need to know about the controls in the game! You can find more great guides in the Arcane Odyssey section of our website.
What is the key bind to imbue magic into weapons
You need to be a conjurer and do your first awakening
So… Alt isn’t working for shiftlock? And yes, I know, I already enabled it in settings and whatnot as I’m supposed to, but it just outright refuses to work entirely, for both me and my friend. What do?
How do I swim like quickly?

You can only put certain items in your backpack from your inventory, which are weapons, there are 3 weapon slots
How do you take off boxing gloves from your hands?
You probably have them on because of the boxing fighting style. Simply change said style back to basic, or whatever else is there, and that should fix the problem.
how do you cancel quests
I don’t believe that you can.
How do we even use the hotbar? I cant seem to place or remove any items from it.
You open it up as mentioned, click on an item, then drag it around to where you want it.
How do I place down notes
Made a guide for that: https://tryhardguides.com/how-to-place-a-note-in-arcane-odyssey/

You need to select it in your Hotbar and then press the Q key which should be your first spell.

Not that I’m aware of at the moment.
How do I get into boats? I understand the docking part but once im in the water with the boat I cant get in it or climb on it? what do I or how do I climb into the boat?
You need to hit spacebar twice to climb up the side of the ship.

I added this to the post, but here you go: “Hit Escape on your keyboard or hit the Roblox logo button at the top left of your screen. Select the Settings option and make sure “Shift Lock Switch” is toggled to ON. Once you have this enabled, hit the Left-Alt key on your keyboard to enable Shift Lock.”
how do you swap items in your hotbar?
I added this to the post, but here you go: “To open your Hotbar, you need to press the ` or ~ key that is to the left of the 1 key and above TAB. Once you press that key, your backpack will open and you can drag items from your hotbar to the backpack. You can also move your items around to different slots.”
If the alt key isn’t working for you, check if you have “shift camera lock on” roblox setting turned on.
died to starvation because the stupid inventory wont open and i cant drag to hotbar also that button doesnt work
You sure it doesn’t work? It’s the key to the left of the 1 on your keyboard: ` or ~ key.
I have the same issue. I started playing the game and everything worked perfectly. But at one point when I logged in my inventory wouldn’t open unless I clicked the backpack icons and I couldn’t drag items either. The shift lock key also stopped working at the same time
( I checked my settings it’s toggled and I am pressing the right alt key)
Must be a bug in the game, hopefully they fix it.
How do you remove and add things to your hotbar? I have no idea how to do that. I literally died of starvation due to that issue.
Open your backpack with the ` key and drag items from the hotbar into the backpack.
i have a 60% keyboard and i dont think i have this key on it. i dont know what to do
I just checked the layout on your keyboard, it’s the escape key. I assume you need to hold alt, ctrl, or shift to get it to function.
You can also use your mouse, by pressing the top left backback icon on your screen.
