Forgotten Stories QTE controls: F defends, A/S/D/Space dodge
The official description publishes the mapping, but not a universal timing window, invulnerability duration, or damage formula. The QTE shown in the encounter decides which response you need.
Block / Parry
- Press F when the current QTE calls for the Block / Parry response.
- Do not assume every F response has the same effect; specific attacks may behave differently.
Directional Dodges
- A is Left, S is Down, D is Right, and Space is Jump.
- Follow the displayed QTE rather than guessing from an attack animation.
