Parry and Block?

[Code325i]

No matter what I try the timing feels ♥♥♥♥♥♥, I don't know. Seems super touchy, in a bad way.

If you have problems try to parry/dodge not by visual clues, but by sound clues.

Gotta hit that parry or dogde way later than you think you should. Like, almost on impact. You'll get the hang of it eventually, I'm sure.

Keep trying, its the most rewarding part the moment you get it right. If you keep struggling, just put points in defense and vigor. There are audio ques that will help you with the timing and dodge is much more forgiving than parry.

I have reached to the point that just obtain a transportation but have yet to utilize the parry mechanism, just utilize the dogdge.

In my experience, most of the time i am too impatient or nervous so i press dodge too early. Just need some time to get the feel & timing. Probably the same applies to parry albeit a much nearer precision is needed.

Perfect Parry and Perfect Dodge both have same timing window.

So if you feel nervous Parrying, try dodging until you feel you can consistently pull off
Perfect Dodges, then you can start Parrying which is superior as it gives you Powerful Counter Attack if you successfully Parry all of an enemy's attacks.

Also, try to listen to a particular sound cue before an attack, Every enemy has a small sound cue, before the attack lands. It's more accurate than visual cue, which is sometimes confusing by design.

dodge is by sound, for parry you need to look at enemy attack right before hit you
if you cant do it just put pictoss that give you shield, you can pick one just at start act2

If you are having too much trouble with parry/dodge, you can grab the mod on Nexus mods that increases the parry/dodge windows.

[Jester]

Lower your ego and crank difficulty down and start using dodge.

If using a controller and it uses bluetooth to connect, the slight latency may cause the timing to be a bit off. I'm always connecting it with cable for this game.

Also make sure your mouse doesn't move during combat, any slight movement (even table vibrations if its a very sensitive mouse) cause the game to not take other inputs while the mouse is active.

I'm doing alot better at it now, took some practice and the audio advice helped more than I thought. I can usually parry semi-consistantly. Which is fine by me, I'm on the Regular difficulty so, managable.

[Mecharion]

The parry and Dodge mechanics are the worst i have ever experienced in a Game so heavy focusses on it. And i finished all the Well know Souls Likes Out there.

The Problem is that often the enemys are to big or the camera Switches in a weired ancle between the chars so that you can Not see when the Attack will Hit. Further many attacks are so confusing visually that you can only guess when the Impact really Happens. Another Point is that 90% of the Attacks have Margit Style delay and a lightning fast Attack. Its Just annoying. You know that Something is Off If you are forced to Focus on Sound instead of visualls.

Overall Trash. I could life with that If some Attacks would Not one shot you - but they do.

To all "gid gud'ers" you have No clue what you are talking about. Most likely trolling Kids that use builds from Google to oneshot everything.

I recommend using this mod:
Easier or Harder Dodge and Parry
