Hold the bone javelin, or the harpoon, the stone spear or the iron spear, and hold right mouse to draw it back. Let go to throw. In third person the body plants, turns side-on with the spear level over the shoulder and the other arm pointing at the target, then drives the hips, chest and arm through and follows across.

The spear flies point first, like an arrow, and sticks point first in an animal or the ground. A sheep keeps it, and the harpoon’s barbs hold. Press E to pick it back up.

In first person the spear comes up over your right shoulder and levels out with its point toward what you aim at, your fist on the shaft low on the right. Let go and the arm drives it forward along the aim, it leaves from its point, and your open hand follows through and settles. The javelin’s bone point leads in your hand now: the model had been turned end for end at the source.
