Basic Controls
In Sword of the Sea, movement and interaction are intuitive. You can jump using the A button and perform your Resonate ability with the X button. When riding a dolphin, the jump control remains the same.
Special Abilities
- Water Rail: Activated by jumping three times in a row, this ability allows you to glide across gaps with green strips of air and through hanging gold lanterns.
- Resonate: Press X/E to interact with objects like activating orbs, opening chests, or uncovering hidden items.
Trick System
To perform tricks, hold LB and then press X, Y, B, or A while in the air. For keyboard users, press Q for a random trick or use keys 1-4 for specific tricks.
Collecting Tetra
When on the back of a dolphin, hop up and hit all the green crystals you come across to pick up Tetra, the main currency.
