How do you use a Bow?
I am not stupid but I have played for 93 minutes and still cannot figure out how to use a bow.

It cannot be that hard...

L2 to aim, R1 TO fire Arrows in Slot 1 R2 to fire arrows in Slot 2, Or use lock on without L2 and same thing.

You can use a Controller on PC you know, But i have no idea the controlls on keyboard, i'll never play a souls-game without one.

I would advise getting a controller, this is unplayable on KB/M imo

Go into the Sound and Display menu, and set the "Device for On-Screen Prompts" to "Keyboard and Mouse".

Then go into your inventory and re-read the tutorial messages with actual buttons showing.

I have looked at the key bindings and simply have no idea on how to use a bow. It is a mystery.

Make sure you have arrows, and not bolts, equipped

I am. If you don't want to use your brain for a simple google search then that's on you, dog.

on keyboard it should basically be -> switch left hand weapon till your bow pops up -> press light attack to use both hands automatically -> press block to free aim / target lock to auto aim -> press light attack or special attack or heavy attack depending on what arrow you want or what type of attack.

This is the sequence on controllers.

I must say though, and mean no offense, I cannot wrap my head around how it's a good experience to play this with mouse / kb, like at all : D

Equip a bow in main hand. Left click mouse to shoot a arrow. Right click mouse to aim down sights.

if you using controller and bow in ur left hand the left trigger for ready stance , R1/RT shoot arrows ( 2 types and you can select them), L1 for manual aiming.
