Beginner's Guide to Missable Mechanics in Tunic

Running

To run, hold the dodge button and roll after the dodge is complete.

TUNIC - Beginner's guide, missable mechanics

Running costs no stamina beyond the stamina cost of the initial roll; you even start to regenerate stamina after a second. But keep in mind that you will be knocked down if you take damage during the run. For this reason, it's probably best to only run through areas you know to be safe, or run away from enemies.

Special Technique

To perform a "special technique", press the dodge button and the sword attack button simultaneously while moving (obviously, you need to find a sword first). You have to be precise. You'll know you did it right if you perform a single sword thrust (No. a sword strike) immediately after the roll. You'll also get an achievement the first time you do this, although some people get the achievement by accident without realizing what happened.

This attack comes out fast and deals increased damage, but unlike other attacks, it costs stamina. It also has a recovery time bastlong ante. TodI still find it very useful for evasive enemies, or for making a quick and strong opening attack.

Change of objectives

When you are “locked on” to an enemy, you can change which enemy you are targeting using the right stick on the controller. I'm not sure if this is possible with keyboard controls.

Enemies 

If you hit an enemy that you're "pinned" on, you should see a thin white bar start to fill up just below their health bar. If you continue to attack and cause this bar to fill, the enemy will be staggered, interrupting their attacks, stunning them for a few moments, and usually knocking them back. This system even works with bosses.
You don't need to be "pinned" to cause the stagger - the stagger still applies to enemies, even if the white bar isn't visible.
This can be a great reward for playing aggressive. (Getting hit by enemy attacks is the potential punishment.)

secret ability

This capability is not mentioned in the manual.

Tap the shield button once to parry. (You must have a shield first.) You will swing your shield out in a wide arc. This technique can be difficult to execute and time, but melee enemies that hit you will be stunned for a couple of seconds and take additional damage, while most ranged enemies will have their attacks reflected directly back at them.
