Brief Tutorial

Interaction

Henry can interact with Mutt through a multitude of dialogue choices and commands. When interacting with Mutt with the corresponding button/central, you volition be greeted with the following dialogue choices:

Food
- Henry will feed Mutt with meat-type items from his inventory. Performing this activity after praising Mutt tin heighten his obedience and the Houndmaster skill faster when done at regular intervals. This activeness will end the dialogue and Mutt volition begin to eat whatever Henry just placed on the ground.
- Feeding Mutt spoiled nutrient will lower his obedience so feed him food that is to a higher place 50% (sausages, bacon, salami are peachy options as they spoil very slowly).
- Henry will say: "Look what I've got for you! Y'all'll love this!".

Praise
- Henry will begin to complement our good boy :). Praising is affected by recent events and actions (east.g. praising him after you 2 successfully took down a bandit, or after he brings you a hare) and it will raise his obedience and the Houndmaster skill, particularly when washed after said events and actions and at regular intervals. You lot can continue dialogue later this action, but praising continuously volition have less effect than praising him every once in a while. This will also requite a slight bonus to feeding him when washed in the same conversation.^[1]
- Henry will say: "Good male child! That's my boy!" or "There's a proficient doggie! That's my male child!" or "Adept fellah! That's my boy!"

Hunt game!
- Unlocked by the Chase Houndmaster skill, Mutt volition, past default, chase after and instantly impale rabbits. He will then selection up the carcass in his mouth and set it down at your anxiety. Selecting the Hunt game! action will alter his State, but we will get to that later.
- Henry will say: "Let'southward hunt something, eh? Hare!"
Seek!
- Mutt will begin searching for chests and sometimes^[2] corpses and animal carcasses. He will hover effectually you, as if in a Free state, but will sniff the ground more than ofttimes. Once he finds something, he will sprint to it and proceed to bark until you investigate or utilise the Heel command. His level of obedience and your Houndmaster skill level will determine the radius at which he is able to observe things besides as whether or non he will actually detect it.
- Henry volition say: "Let'southward see what you tin sniff out here. Seek!"
Stay!
- Mutt will sit, lay, or stand up around his current location--he may take a few steps before heeding the command. During this land, Mutt's obedience does not decrease faster through neglect but will subtract all the same. To summon Mutt, use the Heel control and he will instantly teleport nearby, no matter the distance, and return to your side.
- Asking Mutt to stay before a fight can be beneficial: Mutt wont blindly rush into battle and he can the be called on a specific enemy with the Sic! command if needed.
- Henry will say: "Wait here for me. Stay!"
Other commands.
- Ambitious!
  - Unlocked past the Sic Houndmaster skill, Mutt volition, by default, attack nearby enemies with or without your knowledge.

  - Henry will say: "No one's a match for you and me, eh?"
- Heel!
  - Simply like the primal bind, Mutt will follow you closely and wander a small radius around Henry.

  - Mutt will follow yous freely, wandering a larger radius effectually Henry, but following within sight.
  - Henry volition say: "Come along, free!"
- Go back to the factory!
  - Mutt volition return to the Rattay Mill where you can retrieve him subsequently. While at the manufactory, his obedience will non subtract simply volition be reset to the default. Y'all will be unable to interact with him after sending him domicile and he will teleport to the mill once you lot expect away or get far enough away from him. He will begin following Peshek around as he did before recruiting him. To return him to your side, y'all volition need to speak with Theresa again.
  - Henry will say: "Dorsum to the mill! Dwelling house!"
- (Back)

Command Button

To Command Mutt (Hold)

Commands

Henry has only 1 button to command Mutt with on all devices (run into to a higher place). These commands will be discernable past the canis familiaris head symbol adjacent to the control along with directions on how to actuate it on the lesser right corner of the screen. Using commands will non change Mutt's state (e.g. using the Hunt command will non change Mutt's land from Free to Hunting).

Sic!
- During one on one gainsay, the Sic command can exist overpowered, every bit it volition keep an opponent still and occupied for you to state a fatal accident, simply delight note that the Sic command should just be used while attacking / under attack by three or less enemies! Read more below!
- Unlocked past the Sic Houndmaster skill, this command is available while hovering over a person, whether or not an enemy. Information technology can exist activated from a very far distance as long as visual contact with the target is established. Mutt volition sprint over to the target and activate a arm-bitter blitheness where he volition keep the target occupied and in place. After the target breaks free, Mutt will begin repeatedly bite them until yous activate the Heel command, the target dies, Mutt'south obedience hits null, or the target gets far enough away from Henry. Exist warned, this command will be seen as a crime when washed to civilians or not-enemy human NPC's. After, Mutt volition return to what his current land makes him do, e.thou. if in a Hunting state, he will resume hunting and wont become aggressive.
- PLEASE Annotation that Mutt tin can easily become overwhelmed when in the presence of many enemies, especially multiple hostile dogs. The Heel control volition not break him gratis if being mauled by some other dog or if he is in between hostile humans who are attacking him. The best way to relieve Mutt from running abroad due to low obedience is to run away (preferably on horse to go away from the enemies) and to utilise the Heel command, equally information technology will teleport him to yous and out of harm's mode. The Sic command should simply be used while attacking / under attack past three or less enemies--especially at low Houndmaster skill levels--any more and the admission enemies will switch aggro from Henry to Mutt and will hammer on the poor thing until he runs away (see notes).
Heel!
- Though this control will not automatically prompt in any instance, holding downwardly the control button while no other commands are prompted on the screen will activate the Heel command. This commend does not change Mutt's state and will just make him come up closer to you lot.
Hunt!
- Unlocked past the Hunt Houndmaster skill, this control is available while hovering over an animal, with the exception of other dogs. It can be activated from a very far distance as long equally visual contact with the creature is established. Like the Sic control, Mutt will dart over to the animal and attack information technology until you activate the Heel control, the animal dies, Mutt's obedience hits zero, the animal gets far enough away from Henry (which is significantly further abroad than with the Sic control), or Mutt becomes tired. Later on, Mutt will return to what his current state makes him do.
Fetch!
- Unlocked past the Hunt Houndmaster skill, this command is bachelor while hovering over a rabbit carcass. It tin can be activated from a very far altitude as long as visual contact with the rabbit corpse is established. When activated, Mutt will selection upwardly the rabbit carcass and driblet information technology at your feet. Mutt will automatically carry out this control when he is in the Hunting state. Note that this control cannot exist used on anything that isn't a rabbit carcass.
