Flame arrow ?
only 2 challenges left. Kill a horned graug (can't seem to find one ) and kill 5 archers with flame arrows. The tutorial says get your sword/ bow glowing the press right mouse button and left Ctrl.... I do that but when I press the left mouse button it fires normal arrows ???

You need to get your sword to glow, then hold the right mouse button (to aim with the bow like you normally do), then you HOLD left mouse button to charge the shot, and while you hold it, you PRESS Left-Ctrl.
So the problem is that you let go of the left mouse button.

u dont need to press the left mouse button at all. Just get your hit-streak going; aim with the bow and click ctrl to fire fire arrows.

Actually you don't even need to charge your bow (I played the game on my buds steam acc while hes in the service). As soon as your hit streak is charged just aim the bow and tap L-Ctrl, this makes killing enmies in flames of arzok mode much faster, or you could have more fun with shadow strike but whatever.

Nope, it tells you, that you need to have a hit streak.

Oh ok, I charge the shot out of habit, I didn't know you could do without it.

LMB is for grab, press square (ps3 controller) or X (xbox controller)

Having just gone through this myself, here is how to fire the flame arrow on PC. Assuming default key bindings.

For regular arrow:
- hold down right mouse button to go into ranged mode (focus + wraith)
- hold down left mouse button to charge shot and aim
- release left mouse button to fire shot
- either release right mouse button, or hold left mouse button again to charge a second shot.

For fire arrow
- hold down right mouse button to go into ranged mode (focus + wraith)
- TAP L Ctrl to fire a flame arrow at the target instantly. There is no charging.
- Either fire more regular arrows as above, or release Right Mouse Button to exit ranged mode.

Hope this helps someone :)

To add to df0's information:
- To get the Fire Arrow ability (in general), go to Upgrades -> Abilities -> Wraith tree, 4th row from the top.
- To shoot fire arrows in combat, use your sword to get 8 or more consecutive strikes (on the left, the red number should be +8 or higher). Then go into bow mode and press the left Ctrl.

Side note: obviously 1 million captains will show up to mess up whatever nice thing you have going.
Good luck.
