I need help. I'm not dealing damage to wolves and they aren't hurting me.

So basically, I'm at the bit just after the point where the opening kicks in. I'm going to the lake, to save Alisha and such. I came across some wolves and whilst fighting, I noticed that they weren't hurting me and I weren't hurting them. No damage numbers pop up or anything. I don't know what to do. I haven't tested this on another enemy yet.

Make sure you are keeping an eye on any prompts to do a certain action. This game is pretty heavy on piecemeal tutorials that happen during combat. For instance, if it's asking you to use the option to target and enemy and switch targets and you haven't done that before attacking, the battle will not continue.

Tutorial most likely. Probably should have read the text at the start of the fight. once you do the technique listed the fight can proceed like normal.

Not 100% sure which tech was demonstarted at that scene. I THINK you gotta dodge an attack with guard (can hold long before it attacks) + Left Stick (press shortly before enemy attacks, while still holding guard. I THINK LStick down in this case. after you dodge with good timing the fight should continue as s normal fight with damage and all.

EDIT- after seeing magickmynd post while I was typing:
If it's targeting, then hold RB (R1) and press a direction to change targets. Time stops while you have the targeting button pressed.
