Bossam v3 is a fast-paced action game where you control a powerful warrior through hordes of enemies. This guide covers every control in the game, from basic movement to advanced combat techniques, so you can jump in and fight effectively. The controls are designed to be intuitive, but mastering the nuances of each button will give you a real edge in battle.
Ingredients
- Movement: W, A, S, D keys (or left stick on controller)
- Camera: Mouse movement (or right stick on controller)
- Basic Attack: Left Mouse Button (or X on controller)
- Heavy Attack: Right Mouse Button (or Y on controller)
- Dodge/Roll: Spacebar (or B on controller)
- Block/Parry: Shift (or Left Trigger on controller)
- Skill 1: Q (or LB on controller)
- Skill 2: E (or RB on controller)
- Ultimate Ability: R (or both triggers together on controller)
- Interact/Pick Up: F (or A on controller)
- Potion/Heal: 1, 2, 3 keys (or D-pad up, left, right on controller)

- Inventory: I (or Menu button on controller)
- Pause Menu: Esc (or Start button on controller)
Instructions
- Learn the basic movement: Use the W, A, S, D keys to move your character in all directions. The mouse controls your camera, so you can look around freely. Practice moving and looking simultaneously to get comfortable with the controls.
- Master attacking: Press the Left Mouse Button to perform a quick basic attack. The Right Mouse Button unleashes a slower but more powerful heavy attack. You can chain these attacks together to create combos. For example, try pressing basic attack three times, then heavy attack for a finisher.
- Use dodge and block: Press Spacebar to dodge-roll in the direction you are moving. This is your main tool for avoiding enemy attacks. Hold Shift to raise your guard and block incoming damage. If you time your block precisely as an enemy attacks, you will perform a parry, which staggers the enemy and opens them up for a counter-attack.
- Deploy your skills: Press Q and E to use your two equipped skills. These are special abilities with cooldowns, so use them strategically. Your Ultimate Ability (R) is a powerful move that charges up over time – save it for tough enemies or large groups.
- Manage items and interactions: Press F to interact with objects, pick up loot, or talk to NPCs. Use the 1, 2, and 3 keys to consume health potions or other consumables from your quick slots. Open your map with M and your inventory with I to manage your gear and quests.
- Customize your controls: If the default keybindings don’t feel right, go to the Settings menu and select the Controls tab. You can remap every action to a different key or mouse button. On a controller, you can also swap button assignments.
Tips
- Remap for comfort: If you find it hard to reach the Shift key for blocking, consider moving it to a mouse side button or to the Caps Lock key. Many players prefer having dodge on a mouse button for quicker reaction times.
- Practice parrying: Parrying is risky but rewarding. Spend a few minutes practicing against weak enemies to get the timing down. A successful parry can turn the tide of a difficult fight.
- Use the camera to your advantage: Always keep your camera facing the largest group of enemies. You can lock onto a target by pressing the middle mouse button (or clicking the right stick on controller), which helps keep your attacks focused.
- Don’t forget your potions: Assign your health potions to the 1 key for quick access. You can also set up your quick slots to include buff items or throwing weapons for versatility.
Serving Suggestions
Bossam v3 is best enjoyed with a friend in co-op mode, where you can combine your skills to take down tougher bosses. The game also features a PvP arena where you can test your skills against other players. For the full experience, play with a controller if you prefer a more relaxed posture, or stick with keyboard and mouse for precise aiming and quick ability use.
Variations
If you are left-handed, you can easily swap the mouse buttons in the game settings or in your operating system. The game also supports custom keybinding profiles, so you can create different setups for different character classes. For example, a melee-focused character might benefit from having dodge on a side mouse button, while a ranged character might want skills on the number keys for faster access.
Storage and Reheating
Your control settings are saved automatically when you change them. If you want to reset to defaults, go to the Controls menu and select “Reset to Default.” Your keybinding profile is stored locally on your machine, so it will persist between play sessions. If you play on a different computer, you’ll need to reconfigure your controls there.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a controller in Bossam v3? Yes, the game fully supports Xbox, PlayStation, and generic controllers. Simply plug in your controller, and the game will automatically detect it and switch to controller prompts. You can switch between keyboard and controller at any time.
How do I change the keybindings? Go to the Settings menu, select the Controls tab, and click on the action you want to change. Then press the new key or button you want to assign. Make sure to save your changes before exiting the menu.
What is the difference between block and parry? Blocking (holding Shift) reduces incoming damage but still lets some through. Parrying (pressing Shift right as an enemy hits you) completely negates the damage and staggers the enemy, leaving them vulnerable to a counter-attack. Parrying has a strict timing window, so practice is essential.
How do I use my ultimate ability? Your ultimate ability (R key) becomes available when the ultimate meter is full. You can see the meter on the bottom of the screen. Once full, press R to unleash a powerful area-of-effect attack that can clear out groups of enemies or deal massive damage to a boss.
Can I remap the controller buttons? Yes, the game allows you to remap controller buttons in the same Controls menu. You can also swap the left and right sticks for camera and movement if you prefer.
Why is my dodge not working? Make sure you are pressing the dodge key (Spacebar) while moving in a direction. If you are standing still, you will do a short hop instead of a roll. Also, check if you have enough stamina, as dodging consumes stamina.
