An Elden Ring player has shared an incredible video showing how users can parry many of its bosses and enemies. Elden Ring is a massive open-world game, and players will fight different types of bosses and mini-bosses, in addition to all sorts of regular enemies, over the course of their journey.
Like the Dark Souls games and other titles by developer FromSoftware, Elden Ring features a parry mechanic that makes enemies vulnerable to a critical strike. Gamers can take advantage of this system to deal a massive amount of damage and possibly turn the battle in their favor, but it needs precise timing to have the desired result. Elden Ring players can parry most of the enemies in the game, and one video does a great job of highlighting this feature’s effectiveness when used correctly.
A user on Reddit has shared this incredible montage, showing them parry the various enemies and bosses players will encounter in Elden Ring. The video is just over three minutes long, and as the title suggests, it’s a collection of the player parrying almost everything gamers will fight in Elden Ring. The video begins with the Grafted Scion and the tutorial boss, before moving on to the different types of enemies in Limgrave. It also features a mix of gameplay footage, showing glimpses of the player expertly dodging attacks from some bosses but getting by others.
In one of the comments, the Reddit poster mentions that they cut out a ton of fluff, such as footage of parrying the imps and some other enemies in the game. Overall, it's an incredible montage that shows the benefits of mastering the parry mechanic in Elden Ring, and how gamers can use it to their advantage against the different types of enemies they will fight. It also includes some battles against important NPCs that can only be initiated by following specific questlines in Elden Ring.
Other fans in the comments section share their surprise at the user parrying attacks from some particular enemies in the game, with many players showing appreciation for the editing of the video. On the other hand, one user claims to have never used the parry mechanic despite playing Elden Ring for 200 hours. Some gamers also notice that the player has included footage from the Dark Souls games, such as the Champion Gundyr fight in Dark Souls 3 and Gwyn, Lord of Cinder from Dark Souls.
Elden Ring is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
