Longsword PARRY GUIDE - Dark and Darker

Quickly covering how to parry as many PvP weapons as I had footage for.
Also planning eventually making a video on parrying all of the AI including goblins, skeletons, minibosses and even hell minibosses such as centaurs and demon swordsmen.

Ok I'ma be honest I've never seen a 360 parry before that was sick 😂

[@jwag301]

when they first added the mechanic i knew ppl were gonna find a way to parry cheese everything.

[@meat.]

@@jwag301 not really cheese if it’s harder than just playing the game normally

Nice video dude! I'll say for the longsword fighter bros that might watch the video, parrying the felling axe is definitely worthwhile because you can get the ripostes off much quicker while using shield mastery and counter attack perks while also using sprint to help position outside the follow up felling axe attack so they have a longer recovery on the miss. Even if you tank the hit, you'll get both ripostes off before the barb can get two felling axe hits off. So you'll be trading 374% base weapon damage total on the two ripostes to their 100% base weapon damage on the felling axe. Parry on longsword bros!

[@Ltsama]

Really good advice for fighters! Your videos helped me when I first picked up the longsword and got rolled trying to parry default fighters with arming sword, so thank you!

[@jamakatt]

Tip for parrying arrows: if it's aimed at your head you can just put your crosshair directly on top of where the arrow is coming from. works at any distance. So for skeleton archers cover the arrow that's nocked in the bow with your crosshair and blade. You might need to aim a very slight amount up because it comes out slightly higher than you'd expect

[@hightowaarmy]

I appreciate the amount of work and level of detail that came into making this guide. -subscribed-

[@Firedow]

Thank you Lieutenant-sama. I have watched the entire vid and now im a parry god and im destroying every single ranger by sending their arrows back at them, good shit

[@trime1015]

I wish they'd actually add a "practise arena", so you can lab out your combat skills, but idk if that breaks immersion too much..

[@Zybran93]

I would appreciate this so much, since most of the times you get a good new weapon you have no idea how to fight with it, needing to buy low shit and try it out in solos. Especially learning how to block is really hard when trying to learn it in fights...

[@trime1015]

I feel like the only real reason for me would be to practice parrying.. Everything else feels pretty straightforward combat-wise.@@Zybran93

Glad to see another Longsword bro. Keep at it

[@WildTurk3y88]

thanks for the helpful tips. just started using the sword yesterday and been failing at parrying so far but will keep trying

[@Sparkykawa]

Appreciate the vid. Love the longsword, I hope when Warlock is finished we get a melee perk or two that synergize with longsword parries sort of like how fighter has a few.

[@Toshiro4619]

Fr. I'm just waiting on warlock to be finished...

[@Assosmusi]

Y same, started as longsword lock, but moved to longsword fighter since the latter has some perk synergy

[@GrimmReaperRL]

So you want self-healing long range magic, long range damaging magic and melee perks to finish it off?

I main barb and was curious what you were going to say when you got to the feiling axe. Aka ole reliable

[@SloppyFish21Gaming]

good video thanks for the guide

[@robt9790]

As an ex Mordhau and Chivalry 1 comp player I'm very excited to try the sword fight mechanics. Is parry a new mechanic that they added? I'd be excited to see a flinch on hit mechanic as to not give the advantage to the opponent with the most HP. Seems like a lot of fights are trading blows back and forth without a way to actually deal with them.

[@brokenlaurel4606]

casually voices a clip of you beating a poor ranger to death with a lit torch

[@plasmahandoku1073]

The only time you would parry a Felling axe when you already poke them down and they want to play distance. But when they want to get upclose you can parry landing a total of 3 hits which is usually enough against a barb with corrupt.

[@ddclips75]

thanks a lot dude ;) good job

[@mrperson1324]

Great vid ty

[@samaldacamel8003]

Great fucking video. Exactly what I was looking for!

[@SwellHell]

I watched this video and instantly became a master swordsman. They cheer "Spaniard" when I enter the arena.

[@drakendae9612]

Dude thank you so much for actually explaining things and not making a bullshit click bait 3v3 title. Appreciate you

[@WellDoneOnTheInternetEverybody]

This video provided me no baseline. I am in fact, now a parrygod

[@hawkins5439]

I play cleric, with mace and shield, My only strategy is to just attack, try to make the fighter focus on blocking so he's trying to get the repost, while simultaneously trying not to let him get that riposte. and once he does, try to block. It's all very risky, but I'm better at blocking the swings of a riposte than the stab of a normal longsword attack.

[@snazz1e362]

Do you think the long sword parry is more consistent than blocking with a shield because that is what it looks like or

[@gdiggity9721]

Awesome vidoe

[@WilRobinson-qb8by]

Probably stupid question but can you parry monsters without weapons Zombie being the basic one . Troll boss and the Skeletal Warlord boss?

[@hhighmell2916]

huge help some pretty pog ass info, some of those i was so fucking confused, really hated the falcion because id get it off to late and they already chunked my health, same with the 1 handed shitter axe

[@MultiDraco999]

I havent actually attempted parrying yet but when im fighting a longsword I usually aim at their feet then theyll either stop attemlting or attempt to parry low and its a free headshot - not much to do there hey I guess youll just need a good read?

[@bens9053]

So how do you attack after the Parry? I’m so lost at how the attack happens after a successful block

whats the button you press to do the perry attack

[@seantrevino5141]

So when parrying what do I have to click to get the riposte because everytime I try to attack back it goes back to the normal long sword swings

[@FutanariNeko417]

You tap rightclick again after landing the parry

[@user-im5ko5sg8z]

@@FutanariNeko417 why noone said this before???????????????

[@Bread._]

I've heard other longsword users say that the tip has no hitbox for parry, and it does feel like swings just clip through the front part of the longsword in my experience. Not saying you're wrong but I'd love to see some clips where you use the tip to parry. Even in the clip where you were talking about that and parrying arrows, you didn't use the part of the sword toward the tip.

[@torvor2196]

From my experience this is the case.

I play Barb and when I see somebody trying to perry me I normally lose unless I have a felling Axe.

How do you trigger the parry? i tried leftclicking once you parry but he does the normal stab, how do you trigger it?

spam right click right after my boy

@@Jackson-yt1pl so once I parry I stop pressing right click and spam clicking it?

[@UnimportantAcc]

@@Zybran93 yes correct. Imagine you want to attack directly after the block, but you hit RMB instead of LMB. If you spam it or hold it you will do a combo attack riposte.

[@BradyBrendanAlex]

We're getting into Chivalry territory. dont let those players start picking this game up 😂😂

[@madscientist7126]

If you point the tip of your longsword at the tip of the arrow in their bow you'll generally get it every time, but that requires very specific range.

[@dribanlycan]

That was a demonic parry at the beginning

[@Pasakoye]

Hitbox Deez.

[@How_Fortunate]

I am not sure if it's just me but for some reason because of the way this game feels and plays I can't help but feel weird knowing I can parry AI, like whenever I think of parries in other games it doesn't faze me at all, but for Dark and Darker, I just sub-consciously think of other players for parrying in this game and never even think about parrying AI. Is it just me being weird or do other people feel this way too?

[@UnimportantAcc]

Probably because you're more used to just dodging the mobs based on their attack patterns. Whereas dodging a player is not so easy

[@OmletKing]

Horay

[@Pheonid]

why you gotta disrespect that ranger so hard with the torch tho lmao

[@Nowhere4u2run]

This game needs so much work, chivalry 1 came out over 10 years ago and does every mechanic better. There's no reason this game should require janky movement that isn't intended just to parry.
