How to do the Lunge and Kick Attack?

[Exterminator class of 1999]

Sorry guys, I did a Google search and couldn't find an answer. The console prompts are terrible (can't wait for a patch). But how do you do the Kick and Lunge attack with Mouse/Keyboard?

there is no kick in dark souls 2, it was removed, as for the lung or jumping attack, i have no idea... I've done a jumping attack by mistake a couple of times but no idea how to do it.

[J.N.]

The kick attack has been replaced by a Guard Break attack. Identical command (Move Forward + Light Attack), only now you can do it a weapon in either hand.
The lunge attack made it back unscathed.

You will have incredible difficulty doing this with the keyboard and mouse simultaneously (maybe it's even impossible), because the mouse buttons have an input delay. You would have to bind your attacks to the keyboard in order to pull guard break/plunge attacks reliably.

There's a lot to be said about this game's keybinds, so if you want to learn more about them, check out this guide. If you're also having trouble deciphering what X360 button corresponds to what keyboard/mouse key. it will also help you (button mapping picture included). http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=253162098

For the jumping attack, your have to move your push the forward button and heavy attack.

The button combos are the same as Dark Souls. Forward + Normal / Heavy attack.
But they are practically broken on mouse AND controllers in the PC version.

press W (forward on keyboard) + Heavy Attack (double click on keyboard by default) and that will do the lunge attack - it is hard to do on pc+mouse but Forward+Heavy Attack= lunge attack

The console prompts are crazy frustrating. Haven't figured out how to lunge yet either. I did find out you can do a nice thrust with a sword by hitting spacebar to roll and clicking lmb once before the roll finishes.

Its funny, I can do the two roll attacks (Towards, Space, plus attack and Space and attack) no problem. But I've gotten the Lunge out randomly.

They need to fix the keybindings. I can't assign Q for Interaction (it defaults to Enter every time) and I can't assign anything to my other mouse buttons.

Use a program called autohotkey. it's simple enough. add a short script to change your mouse button as a g and h button on keyboard. run it before you play the game and voila jump attack and shield bash. to change the keybindings dont forget to press backspace after changing the button and not escape. otherwise all the change will revert back
