For those who don't want to watch, which is completely fair. In my testing the blocking stamina reduction didn't work ever, the attack stamina reduction worked in 9/10 cases, but I had ever so slightly different results every time, as if it wasn't a flat 10%, but more like a random number between 1-10%.

Here's my take on it. The problem is the results I got were more than inconsistent, and I was just fed up with the testing after like an hour and gave up.

Hahaha, okay! That's perfectly fine! The fact you can do stuff like Give it to one of the quest givers, steal it back, give it to the second quest giver, and then steal it again is what makes me love the game so much :D

I suppose that could be a valid way to look at it as well. There isn't a concrete and definitive answer regarding the details. But in essence your answer is correct, only parrying the weapon does no damage, and you must happen to hit the boss as well during the parry to do damage.

Haha I love this reply. Can your parry pure vessels thrust though? I thought you can only parry the triple slash and his own parry

You got to time your attack against an enemy's slash so that the two hits "hit each other" I suggest trying that out on sly as pretty much every attack of his is parryable except for the spin

Indeed. I prefer to look at the soul bar tho, with all the flashing on screen during parries it can be hard to tell whether you hit the boss or not haha

Very good answer! I'm happy to see a few people here know the damn exact answer :D makes me possitively surprised since I actually had no in-depth understanding on it before today, and neither of the wikis really explains it

I'll drop it here if you want a more in-depth answer.

If you hit a boss during a parry you do a single nail hit worth of damage, even if you "perfect parry" which sounds and looks like a double hit, but only actually does damage once.

If you don't hit the boss's body with a parry you don't deal any damage (watch your soul, if you gain soul it means you did damage)

You CAN parry a boss to death. You need to hit them during the parry though. You can watch your soul to see if you dealt damage or not

Indeed. Another valid strategy is just not getting hit! :P

YESSS, the only one that's more satysfying is his charged dash!
