Elden Ring Parry Skill Guide, Notes & Tips
FAQ: How do you put Parry on a Shield Elden Ring?
The Ash of War: Parry can be applied to a Shield in order to grant it the Parry Skill and allow players to parry in combat. This can only be done if the skill on the equipment allows skill replacement.
- A Number of shields will already have the Parry Skill so that players can perform a Parry which is is one of the main Combat maneuvers players can use when going against difficult Bosses or even in PvP and can be used as an effective offensive action combination when followed up with an attack. This gives players a chance at dealing a critical hit. It requires timing and patience to master, but provides more rewarding results than regular Dodging and guard countering, giving players a chance at a critical hit.
- A Shield with the Parry Skill is regured to be able to perform this action. The skill can be purchased on its own as an Ash of War. These are special items which enables you to replace Weapon Skills and Affinities of your equipment with new ones or even one at all.
They can be applied to most Weapons and Shields, this allows players to adapt each type of armament to their respective Build and playstyle. - The Ash of War: Parry Skill can be purchased from Knight Bernahl. It provides Standard affinity and the Parry Skill. Ashes of War can be equipped on Weapons and Shields to modify the Skill or an equipment, or to apply affinities that modify scaling values. When a Shield or Weapon in your left hand is equipped with Parry, it takes priority over the Ash of War on the armament in your right hand.

Still don't know why you guys used such a counter-intuitive gif. Why a parry with a curved sword IN THE RIGHT HAND ?
A regular shield parry in the off-hand would have been a much more obvious showcase.
Patch 1.06: Fixed a bug which caused the effect of “Determination” and “Royal Knight’s Resolve” to disappear after using the “Parry” skill with a dagger.

Am I the only one that never can catch these is pvp? That lag is horrendous for timing.

Does Parry count as a type of Guard Counter? IE: does it benefit from items that boost Guard Counter?
- Anonymous
So input lag is a thing and makes this worse than before due to the open world and graphic intense demand.
On consoles the opening after the parry animation during pvp against multiple opponents can cause an input lag which means you can’t follow up in time. If there’s multiple mage spamming or other high graphics animations occurring the time for your input to be read increase as the host and phantoms animations are prioritized. This Happened multiple times where I landed a clean parry and all of sudden my controller doesn’t respond within the window of time for the parry. This has been tested and is for sure an issue a bug in Elden ring that’s not just on roll animations but the game in general. Same goes for bosses where your controller all of sudden doesn’t respond the same.

I do agree that parrying is generally not worth it most of the time, but I swear by it for crucible knights. It's the most reliable way I've found to fight them. Can also be handy against watchdogs. Pretty much it though

If your somehow able to pull this off in pvp good on you. It starts to become really apparent how much lag factors into the net code when you try and land these. In PVE is pretty fun and easy to get enemies with.

Does anyone else really dislike how some bosses take multiple parties before they’re open for a riposte? I wouldn’t mind it if ripostes did two or three times more damage based on the number of parries it takes before you can riposte, but with how it works now, parrying bosses like Morgott or Malenia is just usual reward with higher risk contrary to how parries have always been high risk high reward.

Important to note: Even failing a parry can be better than taking a hit. If you get close, the game seems to consider it a block with the weapon, consuming a ton of stamina and reducing the damage. Convenient for dagger parrying.

I really wish you could put this on torches, it actually makes no sense to me that something classed as a "shield" in your inventory can't take an ash of war intended for shields, but you can apply this to a thrusting sword?

First time I parried a Night Calvary off their horse and stabbed him while he was on the ground was so satisfying.

Parrying feels far more difficult in ER compared to previous FS games, and for a lesser payoff.
Let's look at DS3 for comparison. Champion Gundyr
and Pontiff Sulyvahn spilled a lot of blood in their day, they were tough fights any way you slice it. You could parry them. Some of their attacks were, arguably, fairly easy to parry. But the game never tells you you can, or suggests that you do so, it was always on the player to try and learn the timing. And after one successful parry, you got to critical hit them. Flub once and you're going to have to take a flask, if you don't die outright.
Now let's look at Elden Ring. Even a boss as early as Margit is considerably more difficult to parry than Gundyr, and he requires two parries per critical. A flub is just as punishing if not moreso, as Margit is extremely aggressive and attacks many times in sequence.
Elden Ring also has obscenely powerful weapon skills that not only often hit harder than a critical hit does, but can open enemies up for critical hits! So rather than try to learn to parry, I'm almost always better off having my L2 be a weapon skill, repeating it until the boss falls down, and in some cases taking the opportunity to do my weapon skill one or two more times instead of taking the critical hit!
Now of course skills cost FP and sometimes HP, so they deserve to be powerful in kind, but I do feel that parrying got left behind in no small way.

It was kind of funny watching people realize they couldn't parry without this when ER first released.

First thing I wanted to do on my second character was run to get the parry dagger, then to Margit and practice parrying him. Initially couldn't parry anything and he'd kill me in half a combo. Hour or so later, I was getting him down to phase two. After another, I killed him without really realizing it. Didn't even have to upgrade my weapon, use a summon or ash, nothin.
Not intended as a brag, what I'm trying to say is: parrying can be really intimidating. It can feel like if you don't get the hang of it immediately, you never will. But you CAN get good. Take the time to practice, don't even try to win! You might be surprised how quickly you'll learn!

A few parry training spots I've found... spear: spear knights @ Gatefront or Elphael Inner Wall, greatsword: greatsword knight @ Elphael Inner Wall, scythe: Alberich (don't kill him so you can keep practicing), straight sword: grunts @ Gatefront, dagger spam: bandits, hammer: hammer grunts @ Gatefront.

so im testing parry on a wakizashi, how bad is it compared to the parry buckler? seems like its a lot less frames to get the time correctly, anyone has info on this?
- Anonymous
Anyone know the best way to practice parrying, and any juicy details on how the hecc they work in ER, cause it's way different than DS3 from what i can tell, the feel is just off...

Despite saying “shields only”, this can actually be placed on daggers, curved swords and fists as well

I tried putting parry in my DAGGER (not shield). Just testing on normal soldiers at the gate. When they are doing the delayed attacks, there will be a point where they are like yanking their hands a bit before attacking. That is the good timing for pressing parry. I can parry the swords, but not the spear. Parrying the spear will results like blocking, having a bit of hp plus lotsa stamina chipped away.

What is the timings of the party window compared to the other FS games?
- Anonymous
Is parry timing the same for all the shields for which it applies? By checking on a couple of them it seem to be as such, but I'm not sure about it.

I hate getting parried in pvp - besides getting gud, are there any weapons/attacks that can't be parried?

Not sure if my timing sucks or you can't parry rolling UGS attacks anymore.
