How do I crouch?
As title says, how do I crouch?? (keyboard / Xbox
controller)
The only thing I was able to google up was this - //www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJKOwsZGj0I
but again, there's no explanation as to how the guy does it....

You can't. This is just a ground detection glitch where the game isn't sure which surface you are standing on and is alternating between the two.

Using Battle Skills
① Set the weapon equipped in your right hand to dual-hand mode.
② In dual-hand mode,
press the L2 button to unleash the battle skill for your right-hand weapon.
Battle skills consume your magic/battle skill gauge.
If you've equipped the Kite Shield or Round Shield in your left hand, you can launch your right-hand weapon's battle skill with the L2 button without switching to dual-hand mode.
The above controls are for the Network Stress Test version and may change in the retail game.

Above is the control layout for
Dark Souls 3, as it was presented in Gamescom. The official screen showed an Xbox One/PC controller, so this custom piece is a PS4 approximation for the fans. We do not know if "Pause menu" actually means you could pause as this was disabled, it may simply be options. See the Wiki Article on Gestures and
Weapon Arts for more information on those mechanics.
Please note that all control schemes are subject to change by the developer before release, and there may be specific control setup customization via in-game options.
Also for Asian users, Circle and X buttons are generally inverted.
- L2 is “Arts/Parry.” You have two stances with your shield, offensive and defensive. Selecting offensive will cause you to use a battle art, rather than parry. From the loading screen:
- Arts are unique to a weapon held in right hand or both hands. equip a kite round shield or wield two handed to perform arts. Some arts can be followed up with a special attack
- Parries are exclusive to small shields in left hand. Follow up with RB for riposte critical
