Parry + Riposte triple hit. How?

[Anelyn]

Heya.

I've seen this in countless videos and experienced it firsthand on myself as well. Peeps will parry you, then do a 3 hit combo: hit in stomach, then hit in chest to make you fall down, and finally third hit that does most damage.

I can't get it, all my parry riposte are 2 hit combo (using greatsword / farron greatsword / uchigatana), I parry, press R1, 1 hit in stomach that puts them down and then 2nd hit that hits them when they are down.

The damage isn't comparable by far to what I saw in videos or been on recieving end, I do like 400-600 dmg in a parry riposte with 48 dex 25 str +5 farron greatsword which is like 1/3 of an embered player HP.

What am I missing?

Many thanks.

Hornet Ring, that boost criticals.

[Anelyn]

Will wearing the hornet ring make me do a 3 combo riposte or just boost the dmg I am already doing?

[Washing Machine]

It depends on weapon too. Greathammers and UGS do the 3 hit combo I think.

[ShadowWizardMoneyGang]

I'm pretty sure that is just the animation for Great Axe ripostes.

I've seen it done with Farron Greatsword (boss weapon), with Butcher's Knife, and other greatswords (not UGS, huge hammers or anything, just various greatswords).

All big weapons have a 3 hit combo. Hornet Ring changes all riposte/backstab animations on human NPCs and players.

Ok awesome, will try the hornet ring then, thanks!

Certain weapons are a 3 hit combo, Hornet Ring just boosts the damage by 30%.

Well the Farron Greatsword (boss weapon) does the 3 hit combo in all videos I saw. Yet mine does only a 2 hit combo on parry + riposte (and the damage is also like half of what I saw in videos, despite being maxed out, and I have 48 dex and 25 str).

I know from previous souls games that hornet ring boosts the damage of ripostes, I was curious about the 3rd hit from the combo :)

If the ring does both, then great I will use it it's fine :) I just thought maybe I was missing something, like a mechanic (to press quickly some button / stick when you begin the riposte or something else).

Appreciated everyone.

It changes the critical attacks against human enemies. I think it also changed the animation in DS1. Not sure about DS2.

is your stamina exhausted after the 2nd hit? if so, you might want to put some points into endurance.

[Anelyn]

It was the hornet ring, thanks everyone.

How big is the % of me geting a 3 hit?

No they are not, there isn't a single weapon in the game that has a default 3-hit critical attack. You need to have the hornet ring equipped to give "any" weapon you are using an extra hit as long as it is a critical from the front, from either guard breaking or parrying.
