Parry question

[YourFatMom]

Can you parry EVERY enemie in the game?
Since i had problems to parry the ones in the sewer and the last boss in the story.
And i´m pretty sure the boss in sewers can only be parried, when he attacks with his sword.

Maybe i´m wrong and you know more. Pls tell me, since i have a challenge in mind for me.

Definitely not every attack. Can't parry slams as far as I'm aware, meaning enemy attacks where they jump on you. Can't parry "body" attacks I think. Where enemies charge or slam into you with their body or even shield.

But you can parry some "weapon" attacks even if said weapon is an appendage. You can parry corrupted rats biting you for example.

I simply can't parry :D my timing is always off by a country mile but I get by :)

The jump attack of the guys in the keep with the two-handed axe can definitely be parried. Same for the weekly boss at the beech with the halberd, whose every attack can be parried (though it took me 20 minutes to learn all their timings, as I'm not too good at it). Even the other boss' delayed standing hammer slam can be parried there. It is just rather tight. (I wish they would increase the window, even if demolishing enemies after learning their timing is already satisfying.)
The body attacks (shoulder barge?) I couldn't parry either.

I wanna do a parry only challenge, since i parry most of the stuff, even bossfights. But the last boss in the story is probably one, that you cannot parry, since he uses a heavy weapon and a huge attack.

Same goes, like i said for most attacks in the sewer.
So my challenge won´t work.
Same goes for fist only, one i do currently.
Sewer and later enemies are not worth fighting. Since the HP pool is so high and fists don´t scale AT all. Super annoying, not gonna lie.

Another challenge idea would be thrown items only, like the bombs. They don't scale either with any stat, as far as I know, which is also a shame.

Really? I'm a DS1 nutcase (I PvP a lot as well) with several twinks, and I find parrying INFINITELY easier here. Since you have no windup for parrying, all you have to do is press parry the instant an attack lands. Almost no timing involved, compared to DS1.

The parry in this game is uhh odd. Its like instant, soon as the attack lands, im prob not used to that kind of parry compared to how other games do it XD
