How to Block and Parry at the same time! - Dark Souls 2 Guide
2,801Why block when you can PARRY & BLOCK at the SAME TIME! And more bonus parry tricks of various uselessness!
UPDATE! Turns out all weapons can do this pretty easily, I'll have a short folllow-up video sometime. Working on PvP atm. Until then!
Unlike the companion video to this one... this is actually a real legit little trick. Not game breaking, but a real sweet technique. So time for some bonus thoughts!
-LEO RING LEO RING LEO RING!
- The BanefulBirdRing which increases stability by 5 isn't too great. Better to just increase your stamina.
- The special parry shields are REAL good with this trick, since the unique animation is hidden, they are the target shield, buckler and the mannequin shield (shown in this video at the end).
- My personal preference is the Mannequin shield, since most peeps don't know it has the special parry and it looks like a standard shield, so they don't expect the parry spam.
- Small shields also consume much less stamina on parries. Seriously, give it a try. Perhaps close to half as much!
- Spam me if you ever manage the insta-parry in PvP or even PvE, curious to know if it works. Try many different shields, since some don't make the "parry"whoosh noise since it's probably being cancelled way before they even go active.
Also major thanks to theflashfroggy for telling me about this neat bug! Hope this answers your question! And thanks to Der Tobio for saying it can be achieved via other weapons! Full list here: testing, check back l8r g8r
Video here showing this, but it seems impossible on certain weapons. Might be a timing thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9bDPmPFiss&feature=youtu.be
