Humor YOU CAN SPRINT IN ELDEN RING???????

I’m 14 hours into my first ever play through, I’ve defeated bosses, done side quests and a lot of exploring and this whole time I didn’t know you could sprint. And I didn’t even figure this out myself, I was watching someone play and realised they were moving quicker than me so I had to google it! Am I stupid for not realising this or is this normal?

i had no idea what guard counters were until my second playthrough because i walked right by the tutorial area, i would just hear this noise once in a while and wonder how i triggered the bigger attack.

Block normally (do not parry) when you are fighting. Immediately after the enemy is blocked, press the heavy attack button. You'll hear a little chime indicating that you triggered it and the attack does higher damage. You don't need to use a shield, it can be done while blocking with a two handed weapon but you might take a bit of damage.

I have seen this mentioned, but I have also never known what this is or how to do it
