Valhella Controls

By Bill Kelsey · Updated 2026-10-28

This tutorial provides a step-by-step guide to mastering the controls of the Valhella prototype. It covers movement, combat, and interface navigation using keyboard, mouse, or gamepad inputs.

Before you start
  • A PC with keyboard and mouse, or a gamepad
  • The current build is an early prototype

Movement Controls

Move with W, A, S and D on the keyboard, or the left stick on a gamepad. Look around with the mouse or the right stick.

Sprinting and Jumping

Hold Left Shift (gamepad: right trigger) to sprint. Sprinting uses stamina and stops when stamina runs low. Press Space (gamepad: A) to jump.

Combat Actions

Left mouse button (gamepad: X) is a light attack. Right mouse button (gamepad: Y) is a heavy attack. Q (gamepad: right bumper) uses your class ability.

Interface and Status Display

Press F1 to show or hide the shore readout, which shows your class, life, breath, weapon, birth sign, the ruling sign and the civic date. These controls are from the early prototype and may change.

Valhella is an early prototype. Features and controls may change before release.
