Food and Drink
If Ragnar has been injured, consuming food and drink of all sorts
will rell the Health bar on the HUD. The resourceful viking will also
hunt for animals and fruit along his path that will help him rebuild his
strength.
Other Objects
Ragnar can interact with many of the other objects he will nd in his
journey. Torches will help him nd the way through dark caverns-and be
relit off anything that’s burning. Chains and barrels can be broken. Ropes
and vines can be climbed. Switches and plungers will activate earthworks
and dwarven machinery, allowing Ragnar to control the environment for
his benet-and his enemies’detriment.
Some objects can be used as weapons or thrown. Others will be the key to
puzzles Ragnar will encounter. Experiment with everything!
