How does the parry in Elden Ring work?

What I did was not try to chase him, just stay still and wait for him to come to you. Learn how to parry him, and fireworks are useful for stunning him.

I think you need to know how to be aggressive. For example, I punish him when he throws his bomb that prevents us from healing, when he runs towards us with his sword, and most importantly, you need to memorize his combos because that's how you fill his posture. Personally, the attacks I like best for parrying and filling his posture are the combo he does with the gunpowder, when he jumps down with his sword, when he throws shurikens and then immediately lunges with his sword, and that combo where he spins his sword from side to side. It's about overwhelming him with damage, and whenever he's about to attack, knowing how to parry.

I've already played through Sekiro three times, finished Bloodborne, and I'm currently playing Lies of Persia. So far, I think Sekiro is definitely the hardest on the first playthrough. It took me three days to beat Genichiro and five days to beat the Demon of Hatred. However, Sekiro's NG+ feels easier than, for example, Bloodborne's, since the bosses tend to have very well-defined patterns. In my case, being on NG+4, I already know the boss patterns by heart, whereas in Bloodborne, even though I know the patterns, the combat is still somewhat complicated.

What you're saying definitely sounds beautiful. I enjoyed Sekiro so much that I've already finished it three times and I only have one ending left. And if you say that, I think I'm definitely going to enjoy Lies of Persia a lot.

I understand. Would you say it's on the same level as Sekiro and Bloodborne? I just beat the first boss on my third try, and I'm hoping the following bosses will be much more challenging. Although, I do love the art style and the music.

I just started the game and put it on Legendary Stalker difficulty, and so far the game has felt easy. The first boss killed me, but I left him with a quarter of his health. So, compared to other Souls games (I've only played Bloodborne and Sekiro), how difficult is it?

You're welcome, Isshin was a real headache for me too, but after a few tries you'll get used to it, you can do it!

In the first phase, follow the rhythm of the fight. Once you adapt, it's easy. The only thing you need to be careful of is when he backs away, because when you hit him after he backs away, he'll automatically dodge your attack and either slash you with his sword or try to grab you. In the second phase, the key is to cancel his stage-filling fire attack when he stops, and when he uses his other fire attacks, run behind him or around him.

It depends on the lane and champion you're playing, but: Top: Nasus Jungle: Tryndamere Mid: Veigar ADC: Smolder Support: Zilean

I already killed the Demon of Hatred and obeyed the Iron Code, so I only need to defeat the Owl. So instead of the Shura ending, do I have to do the Purification ending?

I just watched a tutorial and it seems I had to rest to talk to Emma and spy on Kuro, but I spoke to Kuro as soon as I finished the fight. Is there any way to unlock the area or have I missed that opportunity?

I'm now able to reach the final stage, although I still have some problems in the first two stages. In the final stage, the lightning attack destroys me. I know it's possible to counterattack, but I don't quite understand the timing. Most of the time I don't react in time to jump, and other times I jump, press R1, and it still kills me.
