run away, you can end combat by clicking on the END COMBAT
button.
Once the rat is dead, continue south through the caverns.
Hold down the shift key and click on a hex to run instead of walk-
ing.
If you encounter rats, use a variety of weapons to attack
them. You will notice that some weapons are easier or better to
use. Due to the darkness of the caves, it is difficult to hit creatures
at a distance. To increase the amount of light, and make it easier
to see the rats, you might want to use one of your flares. Open
inventory, right-click to change from the hand cursor to the inven-
tory command cursor. Left-click and hold on the flare. A list of
options will appear. From the top, the list of icons are: Examine,
Use, Drop and Cancel. Move the mouse down to the Use action
icon. Release the mouse button. The flare has now been activat-
ed. To keep it separate from the un-activated flare, it is moved to
the bottom of your inventory list. Scroll down to the bottom of the
list. Left-click and hold on the activated flare. Select the drop
action icon. The lit flare will be dropped to the ground. Any
attacks within the zone of light are easier than in the pure dark-
ness of the cave. Experiment.
You might get hurt. If so, you need to heal yourself. Open
your inventory and use a Stimpak. Stimpaks will heal your cur-
rent hit points, but never over your maximum hit points.
Another method of healing is to rest. Press Z on the keyboard.
This will display the PIPBoy clock. Click on the Until Healed
line in the display. You will spend time resting until all of your
hit points are restored. Another way to access the clock is to click
on the PIP button on the interface, and then click on the alarm
clock icon in the upper left-hand corner of the PIPBoy. There are
usually a couple of different ways of performing the major func-
tions in the game.
When you get into another combat, select the pistol. Right-
click once on the button. This will display the targeted attack sym-
bol in the lower right-hand corner of the weapon button. When
you make attacks now, you will make a targeted attack. This will
let you attack specific locations on your target. Clicking on a tar-
get with the target cursor will display a new window. Select the
location you want to attack by clicking on the name of the location.
