Controls

Controls covers how to move, look around and use the keyboard in Kintara. Every key below can be changed in Settings → Key Bindings unless it says otherwise.

Movement

Click the ground to walk there. Click a tree, rock, fishing spot, NPC or monster to interact with it — the action depends on the item selected on your hotbar.

On a phone or tablet, two round buttons sit in the bottom corners: the pet button on the left and the mount button on the right. Tap one to bring out or put away your pet, or to get on or off your mount (the same as H and Q on a keyboard). Hold a button to open your pet bag or mount bag.

Camera

• Zoom — scroll the mouse wheel, or pinch with two fingers on a phone or tablet.
• Move the view — hold the left mouse button and drag. Settings → Key Bindings → Camera Pan switches this to the right mouse button.
• Center Camera — press Y (or use the switch in Settings → Options → Graphics) to keep your character in the middle of the screen while you walk. With it off, the view stays where you leave it.
• Third-person camera (Kintara Club members) — press V (or use the switch in Settings → Options → Graphics) to view the world from behind your character instead of from above. Drag to look around and scroll to move the camera closer or further. Press V again to return to the overhead view. V cannot be rebound yet.
• Photo mode (Kintara Club members) — press P (or type /photo) to hide the screen and fly the camera freely: WASD to move, R and F for up and down, Shift to go faster, drag to look and scroll to zoom. Save picture keeps the shot; P or Esc takes you back. P cannot be rebound yet.
