How to Parry Attacks and Survive Combat

Combat in this mod relies on strict timing rather than trading hits. Because enemies deal heavy damage and use lethal special moves, setting up your world rules and practicing the parry mechanic are essential before taking on difficult fights.

Setting Up World Rules and Healing

Before starting your playthrough, turn on the Keep Inventory game rule in your world creation menu or settings. Battles are punishing, and keeping your items upon death is recommended for normal progression. During fights, staying offensive helps keep you alive: you automatically regain missing health points every time you defeat a mob. For emergencies when no weak enemies are nearby, keep an Idol of Yun’Shul on hand and use it to restore your character back to full health.

Timing Parries and Blocking Strong Attacks

Instead of relying purely on armor, press G right before an enemy's strike hits you. Landing a timely parry blocks the incoming damage, knocks the attacker back, and immediately resets your parry cooldown so you can defend against rapid follow-up attacks.

Pay close attention to audio and visual telegraphs while fighting. Whenever a mob triggers both a visual flash and a sound cue, an instant-kill strong attack is on the way. Do not try to tank the hit—watch the wind-up closely and press G right before impact to block the lethal strike safely.
