Paraglider
Jump from a height, press Space and fly a real wing on 7 m lines: steer, brake, dive, even loop.
In the game
How to get it
At the sewing machine: 6 silk fabrics, 2 fibres, 4 strings and 1 hide (20 s). Put it in the equipment slot of your bag.
What it is for
Come down a mountain in style, cross a valley, land where you want; A/D brake and turn, S slows, W speeds up, Shift folds the ears, Ctrl loops.
Why it exists
Coming down a mountain should be the fun part.
The same text the game shows in its progress tree and on the item's sheet (I).
The paraglider is a real wing: a 10 m arch of 36 cells on lines, flown by your weight and your brakes.
Recipe
At the Sewing machine: 6 silk fabrics (silk is woven from spider string at the Loom), 2 fibres, 4 strings and 1 hide. 20 seconds. Three designs: Classic, Rainbow, Midnight.
Wearing it
Put it in the equipment slot under your armor column; up to 8 paragliders fit there.
Flying
- In the air, press Space: you throw the extractor, the wing inflates with a shock, and you fly.
- About 10 m/s forward for 1.5 m/s of sink: a glide of 7 to 1.
| Key | Effect |
|---|---|
| A / D | left / right brake: turn; held, a steep spiral (up to 15 m/s of sink) |
| S | both brakes: slow down; held, the wing stalls and drops |
| W | accelerator: about 13 m/s |
| Shift | ears: tips folded, a fast descent without speed |
| Ctrl (held) | loops, one every 2 s or so |
| Space twice | release: the wing flies away and is lost |
- A normal landing is harmless; landing out of a spiral hurts.
- After a release you fall: open the next paraglider if you carry one.
Pair it with a Wingsuit for base jumps.
