Overview

When you type help followed by the name of a specific command into the console, the game will display a brief description or usage instruction of that specific command. This is particularly useful for understanding what a certain command does or how to use it correctly.

If you simply type help into the console without specifying a command, the game will list all the available console commands. This feature can be extremely handy if you forgot certain commands or just want to explore what kind of commands are available in the game.

The help command is like an in-game manual for console commands. Using it can save you a lot of time and effort, especially when you are new to the game, trying to troubleshoot issues, or trying to experiment with different game mechanics.

How to Open the Command Console

In CK3, cheats are executed from the command console, a text box that you type commands into.

To open the command console press the ~ (tilde) key, which is typically located under ESC (escape).

If your keyboard does not have that key, or pressing ~ does not work, try the following keys:

  • ~
  • SHIFT + 2
  • SHIFT + 3
  • ALT + 2 + 1

Type your command into the console, and then press ENTER .
