Anyone Have Advice on PERFECT Parrying the More Annoying Moves?

[Draescan]

Specifically,

Pitchfork
Flail
Dog Plagas stab spam
Plagas B for good measure
and hell let's mention punch parries since a lot of misinformation about that is being spread right now.

Hold in the block button, wait for their strike, and you will see what timing is needed to parry.

Yeah I've done that. Not clear enough for my tastes. I'm talking about something more granular. Visual cues, audio cues, setups for the parries the good stuff.

the perfect parry timing is brutal on professional man. I could use the tips too. It feels like im playing blindfolded already with how bad im doing XD.

Right? I'm doing my NG+ playthrough right now ( chapter 11 :) ) as practice for the fresh start professional run I want to do in the future but I'm gonna be honest. I don't think I can survive it without the Primal Knife. That being said, I need to get these timings down for these attacks in particular and I thought might as well try to create a bit of a knowledge thread if anyone has found some decent repeatable tricks to it that isn't just " Go into a lower difficulty and stand there with the knife up "

NOTHING wrong with that just so I'm clear! I just learn better if there's a cadence I can find in the animations to hit the parries with. It's how I found all the ones I can hit consistently now XD

I jumped right into fresh start. It's WAY harder without the body armor and weapon upgrades man. One pitch fork to the stomach is like %75 of Leon's HP gone.

But yeah. Very exited to improve at the game. I'm really glad Capcom didn't ♥♥♥♥♥ out on these difficulty options. Feeling like you have stuff to improve on is one of the things that make the original RE4 so great.

I tried a fresh run on pro already and felt too stuck at chapter 6 to keep moving. I PROBABLY could've brute forced my way through it but it wouldn't have felt good. Tiny bit of advice for reference, DON'T go after the dangerous dog at the chief's house. The treasure is only worth like 10k or something and even if it was work 35k it wouldn't be worth the ammo you're going to waste killing that thing. Even flashbanging it and knifing it on the ground doesn't kill it with an upgraded knife. Just don't do it XD

I've got the parries down for ranged weapons, Krauser's first fight ( not looking forward to the runback ) the torch feels a little finnicky to me idk why it just seems inconsistent, and punches are finally falling into place. I'm sure I'm forgetting weapons but the point is the others I've listed seem to be catching EVERYBODY from my perusal of footage on youtube and the like.

I guess you could look at the Knife icon in the UI and wait for it to show the parry button ("Space" by default)

I could be wrong but I think it's a bit inconsistent for the timing. I've noticed with the flail or other similar attacks such as the garrador it flashes yellow, I'm trying to figure out if that's because it's a signal for the timing or just because it's out of your line of sight.
