Hotkey Guide:

• Astral Cannon: My unique, highly specialized and powerful setup for all encounters. The purpose of this is to teach you the advanced mechanics of combat and showcase my patented "Hot Pocket" technique. When setting up hotkeys, you can select 1+ items to place in your pocket, and entering the menu will allow for a quick swap between them. For a more basic and simple example, if you want to use a 2H weapon like a Spear or Bow you could choose to place it in your pocket and save a hotkey, as entering the bag menu will automatically place your cursor on the first slot in your pocket, allowing you to quickly enter bag and hit select without thinking, thus providing a "9th" hotkey. You can push this even further by placing a dagger and a gun in your pocket, and rotating between the 2, freeing up multiple hotkeys. so your setup could look something like this:
