Parry Down The Well?

[lancealot59]

Hi, I've been trying to do this Parry down into the Majula well to get to the grave of the saints to farm Awestones, I have been doing the parry as it should be exactly like in videos of it, I get down there, the only thing is, it kills me too.

So my question is, is the Parry Down The Well still possible? Or was it fixed? Or am I doing something wrong, despite seemingly not doing anything wrong? Thoughts criticisms concerns? Thank you

It's never been fixed, like all the other glitches such as quickattacks/rolls, recovery cancel, rollpunch, attunement-glitch or stanceswaps. In fact, only new glitches had been found since, like the new parrywalk method. The only update to DS2 in the past years was to the game's netcode security, so it's probably just something off with your timing or positioning.

I don't understand, I am getting it exactly how they do it in the video where it is successful? Is there something I am missing?

why you need use exploits ? still limited to sl 1 ? just buy catring. get ladder or get 1350-1400 hp and jump down naked you can always reroll stats with vessel after that

It isn't a need but at certain point I was like, just wanted to do it because it wasn't letting me do it. You know, learn for sake of learning. Yes I am SL1 I have moved past trying the parry down well, I just thought it was weird how I was doing it exactly like in videos and they would be fine and I would die like I just don't know if there was something weird going on

I've never used parry walk tech so I can't add much, but other things like certain jump glitches are only possible with 30FPS limit, which is native to console (and original DX9 version of DS2?). I'd say make sure the video you're watching is for PC SOTFS, and not original or console versions.

If you did just want to get down there (sounds like you're more interested in just getting this tech to work though), it's possible to survive the drop with the cheapest ladder (500 souls) if you have between 1000-1050 health (I had about ~8% health left, with 1083 health). It's a good compromise for limited SM characters, but at SL1 you might not be able to. There's also the option of farming the Lion Warriors in Shaded Ruins for their armor set, each part reduces fall damage (helmet is only from single spawn Golden Lion).

Are you using any specific weapon to perform the riposte? I've just noticed, that i've never done or saw anybody not do this without their bare fists. Perhaps, other weapon's riposte animations (like hammers) are a few frames shorter or just don't work at all for some reason.

It's not parry-walking OP needs help with and even frame-perfect glitches, like tumble-buffing don't need low framerates. They're just potentially more consistent, if there isn't a good setup. For example, Parrywalk is easier locked at 20 or even 30, but a setup had been found, that makes it very consistent at 60FPS too.

But i digress. OP talks about a different glitch, where you parry someone near a ledge and while parried, they fall down the ledge, but you can still riposte them, which snaps you onto them and you fall down as well, while performing the riposte. It can cancel the fall damage if done right.
Here's how this looks:
