The first torch and area to light it is found in the back room of the second cinematic house.

Beat the cart on the right and loot the body and get the torch then go to the campfire on the left and press "Shift + N" and then it should switch from Rest at Bonfire to Light torch. Congratulations you have successfully lit your first torch and you are on your way to become a true warrior.

If "Shift + N" isn't working for you another alternative that works is "Control + Mouse Wheel Click".

Guard break I tap "W" and Right Click or Left Click" depending on what hand your weapon is in at the same time. This may take a few tries for you to get it to work but it is a completely different animation so it is easy to distinguish.

Backstep Charge is a very good PVP technique that allows you to gain distance to dodge one of the enemies attacks and then charge back into them with your own. This is done by pressing "Space" with no direction and then attacking with your weapon right after this is done.

Thanks for reading and enjoy your Dark Soul 2 experience. If you believe something should be added to help other people feel free to post or message me. P.S I strongly recommend to use a controller but keyboard and mouse have been made viable so if you cannot get one dont worry.
