How To Use The Glider
Once you’ve crafted a Glider, you mustgo into your inventory and equip it. Once equipped, whenever you jump from a height, you’llbe prompted to press a button to use your Glider.Pressing the button again will put the Glider away.
Be warned that using your Glider is tied to your stamina bar and once your stamina runs out, you will fall.
Don’t use your Glider if your stamina is low when you’re jumping from a great height, and instead wait for your stamina to replenish.
