Controls to learn before anything else
Check
The game runs on a small set of keybinds, so getting them into muscle memory early saves a lot of trouble. Movement has two separate toggles, which means you pick your pace in two steps rather than one.
- F stun attack; this is your main combat button
- T sniff and highlight nearby bone piles so you can see them on the map
- Z toggle between walk and trot
- X toggle between canter and sprint
- R rest
- B, G, Y bark, growl, and playbow emotes

Common questions
FAQHow do I find bone piles without wandering forever?
Press T whenever you enter a new part of the map and any nearby bone pile will be highlighted.
How high can I level my dog?
The Veteran badge requires reaching level 50 on a breed, confirming that the level cap is at least 50.
Do I need friends to play, or can I go solo?
The Strength in Numbers badge specifically requires being in a full group, so you will need other players for that one goal.
