Throwing grenades in Caves of Qud can be a game-changer, especially when you’re up against large groups of enemies or tough creatures. Here’s a simple guide on how to use grenades:

Step 1: Equip Your Grenade

  1. Open your inventory (press "i").

  2. Look for the grenade you want to use.

  3. Highlight the grenade and equip it to your Throwing slot by pressing "e" while it’s selected.

Step 2: Activate Throw Mode

  1. Exit your inventory.

  2. Press "t" to enter Throw mode. This lets the game know you’re about to throw an item.

Step 3: Aim at Your Target

  1. Move the targeting cursor to where you want to throw. Use the arrow keys or your mouse, depending on your control setup.

  2. Check the range. Grenades have a limited throw distance, so ensure your target is within reach.

Step 4: Throw the Grenade

  1. Once your cursor is positioned over the target, press Enter to throw the grenade.

  2. Watch it explode! Most grenades affect an area around the target, so aim to hit multiple enemies while avoiding friendly fire.

Step 5: Avoid Danger

  • Stay out of the blast zone. Grenades can harm you if you’re too close to the explosion.

  • Be mindful of obstacles like walls or objects. These can block the grenade and cause it to detonate prematurely.

Bonus Tips

  • Try different grenades. Some grenades deal explosive damage, while others like EMP grenades disable machines. Each type can give you a strategic advantage.

  • Use grenades sparingly. They’re powerful but often limited in supply.

  • Practice targeting. If you’re new to grenade throwing, practice in safe areas until you’re confident with the mechanics.

Grenades can turn tough fights in your favor, so keep them ready for when you need them most!
