People don't know what the word underrated means. They think it means "amazing"

They might've meant underutilized... not widely known/used

It’s very good but high risk.

True. The number of times I've seen people use underrated and literally in a wrong way is too damn high ​@@StrifeZack343

​@@StrifeZack343true people these days are dumb as hell. Underrated is the worst. Saying "literally" when the statement is obviously literal is the second worst

My killing blow on Simon Magnus was a guard parry too😅

I think id i play the game again in the future i'lll give the weapon a try!

yup and people are wanting the parry window to be lengthened. I disagree. It will break the games difficulty in half if they do. I actually think the game is balanced very well overall. I use a nice mux of parrying and dodging and some blocking and its a ton of fun. Maybe nerf the aegis shield and the throwables a bit but thats it.

@@Terron29 doesnt need to be increased a lot but i definitely think it does need to be increased. Or just introduce a perfect parry / and a parry, or make other options more viable for late game bosses. The problem with parry right now isnt that it isnt balanced for risk reward - it is, its that the boss enemy health regen especially late game makes the other options way less viable to the point where boss fights are 3x as long if you try to dodge your way to victory which is much harder than grinding parry timings. Some bosses like that stupid armored titan require guard parry. All these videos make guard parry seem so cool but the truth is if you want to beat the game, learning this level of guard parry isnt optional. If your going to make a punishing mechanic with a tiny success window then it shouldnt be required, lower enemy health regen to the point where dodge rolling or blocking normal is more viable. Making other options viable wouldnt make learning perfect parries less viable or easier. The game wants to be sekiro more than it wants to be blood borne or dark souls. You cant fight your health back from blocks because bosses wont let you so blocking is rough, you cant dodge roll your way to victory because without guard break enemies health regen making fights a slog.

@@goomyman23 I honestly don't think you need to rely on parry as much as your suggesting but we all play differently I guess. As it stands now anyway since I made that comment the game has received another patch which buffs a bunch of weapons and makes rising dodge baseline(thank god) AND 3 extra quartz for sale at the hotel and enemies stagger for longer. They also fixed the aegis shield parry bug which allowed infinite parry by spamming L1 while holding shield up.

@@Terron29 enemies stagger for longer, you know how you get bosses to stagger quicker. Parrying. I beat the game. Parrying is a must starting with the green monster where you hit a brick wall if you haven’t mastered it yet.

@@goomyman23 ive beaten it too a few times now and i mostly relied on charged R2 attacks for stagger and would throw a shot put at em when the hp bar flashed white. I blocked and dodged mostly for that green monster in paticular. I even dodged most of those lightning strikes from laxasia as I never realised you could repel them 😅 It wasnt an easy game but I really didnt struggle near as much as with other souls style games. Oh! All this said I did rely quite heavily on the absolute defence handle fable art for some parts which gurantees a parry for a second. If boss combos got out of hand that was my oh shit button.

Oh wait I thought you meant the grindstone that makes all guarding deflect instead and not the fable art

Guard Parry! Some handles come with a perk called 'Guard parry' where if you use that perk at the time where you would parry you will follow up with a VERY strong attack.

A perfect guard is just a parry, blocking at the right time to deflect the attack and take no damage while also dealing a small amount of stagger build up. Guard Parry is an ability where you hold block but tap y to active it when you should parry so it will parry and IMMEDATELY follow up with a very powerful attack.

can it be done with any weapon ?​@@ChrisBtw

only the handle which has guard parry fable arts​@@gtx1650max-q

Hold lb then tap y when you would usually deflect the attack with lb

@@ChrisBtw thx, its kind of confusing at first basically the giga riposte thing is a normal LB perfect block basically, its just cancer brain memory if u know what i mean

It's called Alchemist's cape!

It has the same timing as a normal perfect parry, just hold block then tap y when you would normally parry :)

Aegis + Perfection Grindstone + Increase Grindstone Use P-Organ are your friends if you find parrying difficult. I cheesed Nameless Puppet with those.

Absolutely godly weapon my friend

In this game if you block an attack you don’t fully lose health. If you block you take temporary damage where you can earn that health back by landing attacks or parrying but if you get hit properly you’ll lose that chance.

PARRY is a core feature. GUARD PARRY is a handle fable art.

@@ChrisBtw tee hee. Whoops

I did Nameless Puppet phase 1 in 30 seconds lol

@@ChrisBtw Bruh... HOW?!

@@alexforce9 Guard parry!!

Learning a boss move set then almost perfectly parrying every single attack comes with a lot of satisfaction :)

@@ChrisBtw For sure, I still haven't got the perfect team from some bosses like; Romeo, Victor, brotherhood of the black hare, but I believe that in 1-2 months I will be able to have perfect fights against all bosses

I've played a LOT of Souls games and this is my highest rated Souls-like.

@@ChrisBtw is it as difficult as Souls? As a veteran I don’t have the energy to throw the controller any more haha

@@paulsingh11 Probably on par with Sekiro honestly

00:16 holding block then tapping y at the right time, parry timing i follow up with an immediate very powerful attack. It's a skill you can get on some weapon handles and is guaranteed on this weapon.

Parry is how the game was designed, not guard parry.

Took me like 25 attempts to beat this boss lol haven't played the game ever since i got the 100%

@@ChrisBtw i’m definitely more than that (didn’t count lol) i’m a dodge/punish guy and the second phase forced me to utilize the parry mechanic

shame on you, worthless noob. Its a sin to use a spectre, never tell this to anybody, NEVER

Parry, yes. Guard Parry, no.

I think the window might be shorter than regular parry. They should fix it, as the cost is high.

No, that would be PARRY. GUARD PARRY is an ability on select sword handles.

The game is awesome though!

uh, no it doesn't? it's stylistically incredibe and in a great taste through and through

​@@lepersonnage371 People often have stupid opinions, no idea why

@@ChrisBtw it sure isn't, just another trash souls clone
