How do you light the torch in your inventory?

[Greed Is Addiction]

The game's too dark, tried 2 different characters and the game is pitch black. How do you light a torch from your inventory?

[Brusom]

you equip it in the same slots as potions 3/4

if you cant figure this out then this might not be the game for you

inote that 3 and 4 can each hold up to 3 items. if you hit 3 and pull out say, some throwing knives instead of a torch, press 3 again to cycle to the next item.


What you might be interested in looking for is the "Lantern" item. i think that can be wielded in a hand alongside a weapon, so might be more your style.

tourch put on hotbar/tab/slot and press 3/4, oil lanrtern is same, but you press left mouse to shine it and right to throw it as a napalm bomb, and a lantern is a 2nd weapon that you just hold w/ a 1hnd weapon and it just lights the way

Your reply isn't the right reply for me. Why post something if it's not a solution.

Get used to throwing torches if you're going to fight in dark area's, but don't forget to pick it up later.

I sit 15' away from a 65" plasma tv, and running it at 1280x720. Even the text is small. Starting every game in a pitch black area wasn't helping. I finally figured out how to hold the lit torch though. It's odd to put the torch in a place where it cannot initially be used, forcing the player to move it to the correct spot and then hit the correct key.

I don't play many games any more, I'm old.

I'm 42, but its auto set to the 3 key

and "correct spot"? to whom? you?

The place it starts in within the inventory doesn't seem to allow its use - I tried every key on the keyboard. Moving it next to a potion and hitting the 3 key worked.

[AbD]

there is 3 tabs per key, so 3/3/3 4/4/4

Steven... is that you?

I highly recommend turning on HDR if you can, it helps bunches. If not, crank up your brightness. Otherwise, the game IS very dark (hence the name). As others have said, in your stash screen on the left and ride sides of the "paper doll" are your consumable slots. You start with a torch (if you threw it, talk to the squire). Press either 3 or 4 to cycle those slots and the torch comes out lit.
