User Guide

Health:
Indicates Ragnar’s physical condition; the lower the bar, the closer Ragnar
is to death.
Shield:
How much more damage Ragnar’s shield can take before it shatters.
Rune power:
The amount of rune power Ragnar can call upon. See page 20 for more
information.
Breath:
Ragnar has the mighty lungs of a viking, but if he doesn’t surface or nd a
pocket of air before this bar empties, he may suffer the ignominious death
of drowning. . .
Bloodlust:
As Ragnar kills his enemies, his bloodlust will rise. When the bar lls,
Ragnar will go beserk. While beserk, any damage Ragnar takes will come
off his bloodlust rather than his health.
Weapons:
Ragnar will discover many weapons that he can pick up and use throughout
his journey-more than a dozen in all. They will fall into three categories:
Bashing Weapons, Swords, and Axes. Each category has its own assigned
control key, and pressing the key will draw the weapon of that category that
Ragnar is wearing at the ready. Pressing the control key again will cycle
through all weapons Ragnar possesses of that type. To empty his hands,
hit the Stow Weapons key.
