Parry system is like Sekiro, perfect blocking. So parry what you feel comfortable and dodge what you can’t. You can parry red attacks but run away if you need to I hope this helps. Parrying can break the weapons of enemies as well

Pro-tip. Read the text that the game LITERALLY throws in your face. If afro had bothered to read them, he'd know how to parry, that you can't dodge through red attacks, how to fix his weapon at any time, what the fable arts are and how they work, that he can block and heal back by hitting the enemy. Etc. Always read the tutorials.

I'm so glad you picked this back up!! some tips - start using the charged R2 attacks, the booster glaive has one of the coolest movesets in the game. Also, the parry is more of a perfect block that has several benefits opposed to dodging such as 1. you don't lose health on perfect blocks 2. you can destroy enemy weapons after repeatedly doing perfect blocks (varies on enemy weapon type but you did it at 14:26) 3. repeated/consistent perfect blocks also build up stagger (indicated by white meter around enemy health bar 14:27) and landing a charged R2 attack will stagger enemy, giving you an easy fatal attack there's many more benefits to perfect blocking but you will need to invest quartz into the P-Organ in order to unlock

I'm looking forward to how much crazier this series is gonna get in the long run, Afro never disappoints

That last attempt at Fuoco was really satisfying to watch. Seeing the organic growth as a player that comes when fighting soulsborne or souls like bosses.

P.S. Perfect Guards can block "red" attacks too, as well as break parts off your enemies (to lower their attack or defense, usually). There are some other benefits but you'll see as you play.

Afro just going to say this is by far one of the best games I’ve played and as a seasoned souls vet it was a breath of fresh air in the waiting of the Elden ring dlc. For this game, you 100% should get parrying down to a basic level. Parrying is perfect blocking like sekiro (perfect block=red affect upon blocking at the right time). It’s not like sekiro where you can spam it, so you need to time it right. You don’t need to master it but I would recommend you do, it can be the difference in a fight that seems impossible to just taking a couple tries. Definitely explore and use the weapon assembling and make something unique that YOU like. Lots of great combinations and pretty much all are viable. And play to your strengths and play smart. Lots of players over hyped these bosses but they aren’t so bad if you just give yourself space to breathe and read the openings. Couple of bosses are absolutely really tough but you got this. Just save your fable arts for low health and consumables stock up on!

One thing that helped me with the parry is that instead of tapping the parry in time like in Sekiro you have to press in time and hold it like half a second to perfect parry. Once you get the hang of it the game starts clicking, granted it took me a bit longer than I care to admit but it clicked.

The red moves are not un-parryable - they are the only moves you are required to parry. They are supposed to be undodgeable and you must perfect parry them to avoid damage.

Oh that ending was pain. Everyone else gave some great tips, the only thing i'll add is the health you lose from blocking can be regained just like in bloodborne. This goes for the enemies you attack as well, if you aren't somewhat aggressive they'll regain some health

tips that could help -red moves can be parried but have more punishing results if u fail, does major pose damage if you succeed -parry takes stamina -the bosses or rare enemies in the world give you materials to buff ur character or weapons -all enemies have pose like sekiro and if you parry/block enough there weapon can break or they can be open to fatal blow(white bar on health) -don't forget to upgrade your weapon

The most painful thing is he didn't read what the game tells him to do. I mean he's a fromsoft veteran so reading is fundamental to stop getting dunked on. I'm notorious for being bad on first playthroughs with soulslikes and I haven't touched a video game in months and yet I'm doing pretty alright. I'm just surprised he didnt realize with strength weapons you can pretty much tank the damage blocking if you know you're not gonna make the dodge in time.

12:23 is an example of a parry in this game. The hit between whatever is attacking you and your chosen weapon flashes red. Already a natural lmao

been waiting for this one

The hesitation at the end was killing me! You could've had him multiple times but you waited... Crushing

red attacks can be parried, they just can't be blocked. Parrying reduces their posture which will make their health bar flash white, when it's flashing white do a charge attack and you can get the oppurtunity for a visceral attack.

Let's get it been waiting for this one 😎👍

In case you don't know because I feel like it was unclear to me at first, but motivity = strength, advance = elemental weapons essentially (kind of like magic) and technique = dexterity. Different handles and blades will scale off of each of those for your damage. If you're gonna keep using heavy weapons like that you might want to level up your motivity and stamina. You would of had that fr fr but you were tickling bro the whole fight lmao.

@@Das-gn6jr For puppets use the Electric Coil, For Monsters use the Black Steel Cutter or the Fire dagger, and for the ergo humans use the acidic crystal spear. The acidic crystal spear handle I think has S scaling (could be wrong) but is a good handle to use for all advanced weapons. Don’t forget a lot of the throwables do wayy more damage because they scale from advanced. Also, the Fumis, Pandemonium, and the Flamberg all scale off advanced as well. The key with advanced is not worrying about staggering but constantly trying to proc elemental damage, which you will easily

You have to block at the last minute for a perfect guard amd it builds up their stagger and breaks their weapon. Some weapon handles have an actual parry but not all the one youre using in the beginning is just to endure attacks. Prscticr the timing for perfect guards on the dummies at the hotel itll help alot. You can tell you got it by the sound it maked when the attack hits you. Try to get in the habit of fully chargin your heavy attacks

I'm sooo hyped for this series

I've been patiently waiting 🙏🏾

11:24 that would be a badass mechanic. Like after all the pillars are broken a big pipe falls on him either killing him or doing like 40% dmg to his hp. I’d imagine it would be a lot harder to accomplish if it did something cool like that though. Or if it changed the boss arena, making a new mechanic available to kill him easier.

Yo you’re timing is godly I just started playing

Homie Afro I caint tell you how long I’ve been waiting for you continue this game fr 😮‍💨

bro that one hit away💀, even I felt your rage damm.

My boy dropping all the heat

Oh this is gonna be a phenomenal series I already know

If you parry enough, the boss will stagger, which is shown by white boss name effect. Then you can do heavy attack and stun them. Perfect parry is great but dont try to parry everthing, you can dodge ass well. And, you can combine weapon blades and hilts and create unique weapons. Use crancks to get scaling higher. Also you need to increase maximum load a lot to wear better items and stuff.

Need this series fasho. 😂

Let’s gooo for another afro series!!!! Love from Belgium 🫶

Afro 😂 love that ur playing this parrying in this is just blocking right before u get hit (but watch out not everything can be parried)

I’ve been waiting, patiently now I can find humour in Afro’s pain

tha afro senju classic i like it XD

When you’re “overheated” if you dash it goes away faster, so you don’t have to eat all the damage. You’re on fire, so it’s basically stop drop and roll. Also charged R2’s help break their posture just like parrying does, so doing both gets more staggers frequently.

this is what ive missed. you raging is one of the most hilarious things on youtube. something i havent had since your eldin ring playthrough

OMG finally this series continues!!

Class video, love it when you play souls and souls-like!

The first delete of LOP😂😂 Also there a laver somewhere in the place you’re in that can get rid of the corruption where the puppet of the future is so if you fight it you’ll only have to worry about that

Bro, your videos have literally gotten me through the worst times recently. I haven’t laughed this hard since watching you fight Malenia🤣🤣

“Find the Flame” very fitting for this boss haha

Looool that ending was fantastic 😂

I haven’t laughed that hard in a while. Thank you

Love to see you enjoying this. Been loving seeing the Naruto streams and uploads. Be great bro

If it helps you out Afro, I would practice the parrying on the swordsman puppets that you can find near City Hall. Aside from destroying enemy weapons by parrying, you can also destroy them by beating on them while they are trying to block your attacks.

Classic Afro ending. Lies of P will offer many of those moments.

W Senju Frfr keep it up bro 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.

youre gonna have a great time with this game. It definietly is a hard game at the start but U can do it. Also the blue bars can activate your fable arts which is your weapon blade and handle. They do different things

When you parry a boss it builds up a stagger. When the Boss's health bar glows white that's when you wanna unleash a heavy attack to stagger them.

😂 I saw the end coming. I knew it was gonna be one shot and one shot to finish it and I knew he was gonna delete it if he lost 😂 classic Afro

More Lies Of P please! Love the content ❤

new afro vid?? my lucky day!

Never back down & never give up! 😂

Glad u got parry down. Most people don't see this is game of the year because they never learn that & also they rush thru.. ex. When u ran past puppet of future, u can hit a switch to remove corruption on ground. . When u Continue to parry u build up stagger to give them fatal attack .. charged heavy also build up parry... the fun is finding the best weapon along with legion arm. The legion arm string is used to pull little ones close or u to them once upgraded and I'll let you learn what the max upgrade version does !!!!

Playing “Find the Flame” during this boss? I see what you did there Afro. I approve. Such a good song

There's a weight system in this game BTW and the reason you were able to switch between the longsword and the glave was because you had one in each slot

a parry aka perfect block is when u press ur block right before the enemy's attack hits you. the parry using fable charges (the blue bars) is another form of parry. often there are enemy attacks that are better parried and some that are better dodged (i.e. enemy grabs vs enemy swing attacks)

I need more of this in my life lmao

The “I GET IT!” Was pretty wholesome 😆

No, it's literally Sekiro's parry system; block right before a hit lands. It has a pretty strict timing window.
