PARRY SIMULATOR (Venting)

[Ankshious]

I love the game and the challenge it brings, but OMFG the boss fights are nothing but parry after parry. I hate how the game makes you know every move the boss does.

1 - You can't parry everything with the standard parry
2 - Some attacks better be dodged like attacks with elemental damage that go though your parry
3 - Sometimes dodging is just more effective

So no it's not as simple as just parry everything and IMO having to know the boss's ins and outs is a good thing!

I hate when games are so forgiving that you can just beat a boss with just a bit of luck and some button mashing like Elden Ring unless you play RL1 or something

that thing you don't like is what sets khazan apart and actually makes it fun. I like how every boss does its own things and you have to learn every new situation. I like when I feel like i'm getting it down and then they whip out some new crazy sh*t and it's like "oh what f*ckery is this" and then i learn how to deal with it and overcome that challenge. that moment where it clicks and you can read their attacks and counter and punish everything they do and now they're your b*tch is the fun part. As opposed to dark souls where the trick to everything is "roll". here comes literally any attack, doesn't matter what it is, never seen it before, better roll i guess. dark souls is like the square hole meme and khazan actually makes you use every shape.

Guard isn't really required if you aren't playing GS.

Or play dual wield and you can evade with attacks.

Nope. Not at all. Make use of every tool the game provides to you. Exhaust enemies, perform brutal attacks on them (preferably from behind for extra damage). Make good use of certain skills that deal additional stamina damage.

Game is not all about parrying. Depleting boss stamina is also crucial, specially if you are using the spear.
