Amazing fight, and incredible use of Guard Parry! It's hard to use well, but it can very good. It's also good to see someone else use the Seven Coiled Greatsword, it's shadowed by the Holy Ark even though it's a fun weapon.
This is exactly how I play every boss in every area of this game. Perfect Guard in this game is amazing specially with a fast weapon and Fuoco's Amulet, every time you do it you get to boost your next attack. And if you perfect guard first and use that exact sword, the L1+Triangle or Y fable art can deal over 2k damage.
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.
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.
@@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
Whats the difference in a perfect gaurd abd a gaurd parry im lost I'm on chapter 9 I just hope there isn't something I haven't been utilizing this whole time
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.
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.
@@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
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.
Just destroyed laxasia on my 7th - 8th try with spectre + 2 friendship wishstones 😂 acid abrasive works good on her in the 1st half and perfection grindstone for the lightnings in 2nd half. Fun fact acid abrasive also imbues specters weapon with acid so worth it to buy 4-5 of them for the fight
Guard parry felt so unreliable - like id nail it and it wouldnt work. Its not the timing, the dual parry swords parry is amazing! but thats because it works.

As someone who doesn’t even like to block in general I can say that this is underrated 😂
I don't think it is underrated. I think people agreed that it is so good.
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

My killing blow on Simon Magnus was a guard parry too😅
I like the trident of the ark guard parry. It's so stylish plus the crit rate is heaven

OH SO THAT'S HOW YOU USE IT. I don't even know how to properly use it in the first place
I finished the game without knowing this
I wish I was good a parry 😅 Like there are some attacks that I can do a perfect parry, but I usually run out of stamina everytime
Your first beat was the best😂😂😂
I need to learn the party stuff and blocking. I'm stuck at the unnamed puppet now. Pisses me off. Also my favorite weapon there.
Aegis + Perfection Grindstone + Increase Grindstone Use P-Organ are your friends if you find parrying difficult. I cheesed Nameless Puppet with those.
how is he getting 1500 dmg on a single hit ?
edit : I am only on black rabbit brotherhood fight right now
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.
What outfit are you wearing in this? It looks really cool.
It's called Alchemist's cape!
I use this for only Laxasia’s P2 transition attack cause the timing is so weird. But it is definitly the best grindstone in the game
Oh wait I thought you meant the grindstone that makes all guarding deflect instead and not the fable art
Next video "Dodging is underrated in Dark Souls 3"
Haven’t been able to land a guard parry the entire game fuck that ability
It has the same timing as a normal perfect parry, just hold block then tap y when you would normally parry :)
Seven coil sword > holy sword of the ark confirmed??
Absolutely godly weapon my friend
so u use LB to get a perfect parry then tap Y to execute giga riposte? is that how it works?
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

can it be done with any weapon ?@@ChrisBtw

Ah yes the Wo Long parry strat
My man defeats the first phase under a minute lol.
I did Nameless Puppet phase 1 in 30 seconds lol
@@ChrisBtw Bruh... HOW?!
@@alexforce9 Guard parry!!
I finished lies of p 3 times, completed all achievements and still don't know how to parry like this, it's a skill issue ig
How come you dont loose health when you block?
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.
Why did you skip phase two
Its actually not, its a core feature of the game and everyone does it.
PARRY is a core feature. GUARD PARRY is a handle fable art.
@@ChrisBtw tee hee. Whoops
what is bro on about
Man the dodge on this sucks for real so i prefer to parry :/
S If you parry ALL attacks the game goes into easy mode, with no frills
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
Wait is there something like that?
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.
I think that's how the game was meant to be played.
Parry is how the game was designed, not guard parry.
Is this game good? Looks like a Great Value Dark Souls
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
It's not underrated, it's that I can't do it with every enemy lol
Now show the second phase😆
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
underrated? didnt everyone play like this?
Parry, yes. Guard Parry, no.
it's not underrated at all , it's the core of the gameplay...
No, that would be PARRY.
GUARD PARRY is an ability on select sword handles.
Just destroyed laxasia on my 7th - 8th try with spectre + 2 friendship wishstones 😂 acid abrasive works good on her in the 1st half and perfection grindstone for the lightnings in 2nd half. Fun fact acid abrasive also imbues specters weapon with acid so worth it to buy 4-5 of them for the fight
shame on you, worthless noob. Its a sin to use a spectre, never tell this to anybody, NEVER

I think the window might be shorter than regular parry. They should fix it, as the cost is high.
Robot fantasy and Pinocchio ahh it looks stupid in some areas.
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
