Dash not working properly for me

[duderino]

I read online you cannot (air)dash when in towns, just run faster when using the dash button.

Thing is that also happens to me out on the field. When I press the dash button while moving I just run faster and I don't get that dash animation I saw on Youtube videos. That means I also can't air dash: Nothing happens when I press the dash button while in the air.

I tried to assign the dash from L3 to R3, set auto run on/off and even tried keyboard controls but nothing seems to make the dash move to come out for me.

I'm still in early stages of the game (reached the windmill village). Is this (air)dash an abilty that unlocks later in game or something?

Just jump in the air and spam the "B" button on Xbox controller to do a little air dodge.

If L3 doesn't work you can try to hold the dash button. That should cause you to run.
EDIT: Whoops, I think I got your problem confused.

Auto run is very weird in this. You'd think it would work like in Trials where you automatically start running if you walk around at full tilt for a bit, but no. It's some weird thing where pressing L3 again twice while running lets you run without having to push the stick forward.

Thanks a bunch for the quick reply, that seemed to work. Always figured air dash to be triggered by the dash move not the dodge move!

As Honorable_D wrote, B / Circle button does the air dash.

There are instances were a part of the map is marked "friendly" by a quest, in those cases, airdashing and double jumps might be disabled as well.

The thing I can't get working is auto-run. I ASSUME this means the character should run without you having to hold the button, but that does not happen for me.

There's a blink-it-and-you-miss-it tutorial window that explains it.

You have to press L3 twice when you're already running to activate this feature.
It's kinda dumb, tbh.

in options there is a toggle to enable auto run if it is disabled you cant autorun at all if its enabled then double tapping L3 while moving toggles autorun at least for controller not sure about keyboard

I've tried this, and it does not work for me! Maybe I have to try to change my Steam controller settings, as I disabled Steam input and was just using my DS4. Maybe it'll work when its pretending to be an Xbox controller

I think they are confusing the sprint/running with the dodge/dash
for KB+M it's "C" key for the dodge/dash, while "shift" is for the sprint/running.
for controllers "L3" is the sprint/running while "B" / "O" is the dodge/dash.

The hold B to dash thing doesn't work in towns. You can't double jump or air dash in towns either. You can only sprint with L3.
