Tap block just before a hit lands. White-flash attacks are parryable; red-flash attacks must be dodged.

Step by step

  1. Equip a Divine Weapon compatible with blocking.
  2. Watch enemy tells — white flashes are parry windows.
  3. Press block one beat before contact (roughly a quarter second).
  4. Follow up with a heavy attack for a riposte.

Tips that save time

  • Red flashes are undodgeable if you block — you must roll.
  • Parry windows are tighter on higher difficulties.
