So i never unlocked an extra tab in my menu? I beat the dragon but never unlocked anything unless im just missing it
You also need to find and interact with the special in game pedestal a few times.
The "updated" game doesn't actually even care about if you beat the dragon in the end anymore (or I think that's how I changed it a few weeks back). The data is saved the moment you go through all its dialogue and after that you can shut down the game and the menu should be there.
If you have the updated build, Q and E on the keyboard strafes you left and right. On a controller left stick does the same. If you're playing the old build, strafing is a bit clunky to do. You have to hold down the X key (I think, if I'm not misremembering) and then instead of turning you'll strafe.
