Hold & Drag?

[Pfredd]

I am just starting this game on a Steam Deck. i am doing the combat training and I am at the part where i am supposed to "Hold & Drag" to curve my path to avoid being shot.

i can not figure out how to do this. No matter what i try, i always end up going in a straight line.

Any assistance would be appreciated!

I found another topic here that explains how to do this.

You start your path, like a normal straight line move, then hold the A button and draw the rest of the path.

IMHO, this needs to be explained a bit better in the tutorial.

1. Use the left joystick to “draw” a path as you would.
2. Normally, you’d TAP ‘A’ to confirm the path. DON’T do that.
3. Instead tap AND HOLD ‘A’.
4. While holding ‘A’ use the left joystick again to curve the path.
5. Release ‘A’ to confirm the path.

Looks like when you press and hold A, it uses the path cursor at that point as a bezier anchor point to then draw the curve as you move the joystick.

Bumping because playing on PC (mouse & keyboard) I also had no idea what this meant.

On PC is the same, just replace button presses with click. So it's like this:

1. Use the mouse to “draw” a path as you would.
2. Normally, you’d click to confirm the path. DON’T do that.
3. Instead click AND HOLD it.
4. While holding the click, move the mouse around to curve your path.
5. Release click to confirm the path.

You don't even have to hold and drag, totally redundant mechanic to curve your movement.

tried it with mouse and controller, holding A and holding left click, dragging does nothing.
