Parry??

[DudeBro69]

Someone pls explain the big blue parry to me.

I understand the small mobs you parry and its auto and instant.

I don't know whats going with the elite mob parries. I press the button when the blue indicator shows but nothing happens?

It feels terrible to attempt it and fail every single time.

Its like halfway through horde combat they shoved in Elden Ring?
I know some reviews mentioned this but dam this parry is bad.

PERFECT parry allows you to shoot them, theyll have a target over their head, and can quickly kill elite mobs especially with the heavy bolt pistol

What is perfect parry?

I pressed the C button when the blue shows up and i still get hit.

I understand parrying even without blue indicator and that allows the auto shot but when the elite mob has the blue indicator the parry doesnt work.

In the middle of fighting 20 mobs one of the elites will have a big blue parry indicator.
So i press C but it still hits me.

I don't get it.

It's a tough timing to get used to. I sucked first few hours with it. On veteran mode. Once you get a hang of it - it's not hard. You can also time it even before blue indicators show up and stagger the big enemies.

small mob have an easy parry window so you can parry when the blue circle appear.
elite you need to parry them on time , the blue circle announce a pounce or ranged physical attack , time it well to parry them.

you can also parry attack that have no circle to announce it ( like every physical attack that is not an orange circle )

the parry is very good , you just get confuse because of the circle. see the circle not as a when to parry but just as a warning that an incoming attack is about to happen. time your parry with physical attack animation like any other game with parry.

You're probably pressing at the wrong time. I don't think it's the signal that you should parry at the very moment it's visable. Rather it's trying to show you an opportunity to parry?

I try to just parry on reaction but it's a bit much at times. Like you have to focus on something stronger but you're getting shanked in the back by 14 small ones simultaneously..

In the 1 v 1 fight against Licter it was ok.

I didnt need any indicator just parrying visually.

It's in the heavy mobbing and your camera is faced the other way is when I don't have the animation indicator as I cant even see the elite sometimes so thats why the devs knowingly made the big blue indicator but its not well made to give you proper control.

Just serviceable/.

Guess have to just run with it and get used to it as much as possible.

devote some more time to it, unfortunately this does sound like a skill issue, you will get it with some more tries perhaps. they are very generous with the parry window
if you really can't get it then just dodge

You always perfect parry minoris target
Majoris target has spesific window for perfect parry, for example: Warrior with whip can only get perfect parried on second hit after blue indicator, parrying warrior 2nd or 3rd attack always resulted as perfect parry

Ok so the blue indicator is warning for 'hey look here and get ready to press parry again' on this mob when it actually attacks?

Did i understand that correctly?

Or should i be pressing C as soon as blue indicator shows?

blue circle = hold parry button

Blue indicator is a always a type of movement type of attack, indicating that the enemy wants to lunge at you or just attacking you from distance (warrior whip)

The timing bro... you see the blue, the small ones it's an auto win. The big ones? You gotta wait for them to swing before you parry, otherwise you're going to block and be left exposed.

[Buldor]

honestly mate, sometimes you parry correctly but the npc's actual attack doesn't reach so nothing happens, then you get hit because you missed your parry, because they missed their attack you tried to parry.

Same.

I have done so many executions but no regen.

Am I missing some mechanic?
