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.

  • W/A/S/D – Movement Keys
  • Double Tap a Movement Key (W/A/S/D) – Dash in that direction (Uses Stamina)
  • Left-Click (M1) – Attack (When weapon or hands are equipped)
  • 0 – 9 – Select Item, Abilities, or Weapon in toolbar
  • Z, X, C, V, F, R, E, Q – Spells with Magic Equipped
  • Shift – Charge Energy / Dash (If changed in Settings)
  • Tab – Open Inventory
  • ` or ~ (Left of the 1 on your Keyboard) – Open Backpack/Hotbar
  • Climb – Double tap Spacebar to cling to a wall/ship (Uses Stamina)
  • Ctrl – Toggle Run
  • G – Block/Guard
  • T – Launch into the Air (Uses Stamina)
  • ALT – Shift Lock (HAS TO BE ENABLED IN ROBLOX SETTINGS)
  • N – Open Menu
  • M – Open Map
  • L – Open Message Inbox
  • K – Open Quests menu
  • J – Open Character Information
  • B – Emote Menu
  • P – Cinematic Camera
  • Camera Zoom In – I
  • Camera Zoom Out – O
  • Chat – /

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.

    What is the key bind to imbue magic into weapons

    1. Cheese

      You need to be a conjurer and do your first awakening

  2. Dude

    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 you take off boxing gloves from your hands?

    1. Egghead

      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.

  7. Sopathion

      I don’t believe that you can.

      You need to place the fishing rod into your hotbar, select it, and then the left mouse button to cast your line into the water.

  15. Tol

    If alt is nit able to shiftlock what do I do

    1. Shaun Savage (Admin)

      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.”

  16. momdonthitme

    how do you swap items in your hotbar?

    1. Shaun Savage (Admin)

      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.”

  17. Larry Barry

    If the alt key isn’t working for you, check if you have “shift camera lock on” roblox setting turned on.

  18. spindly

    died to starvation because the stupid inventory wont open and i cant drag to hotbar also that button doesnt work

    1. Shaun Savage (Admin)

      You sure it doesn’t work? It’s the key to the left of the 1 on your keyboard: ` or ~ key.

      1. Runeearth

        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)

        1. Shaun Savage (Admin)

          Must be a bug in the game, hopefully they fix it.

  19. Oveo

    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.

    1. Shaun Savage (Admin)

      Open your backpack with the ` key and drag items from the hotbar into the backpack.

      1. NutNectar

        i have a 60% keyboard and i dont think i have this key on it. i dont know what to do

        1. Shaun Savage (Admin)

          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.

        2. Larry Barry

          You can also use your mouse, by pressing the top left backback icon on your screen.
