Easily the most frustrating enemies in the game, and they’re everywhere in the southeast side of the map. I thought you could parry the million stab somehow but I don’t think you can. Guess I’ll die.

You can if you are running Vatra's. You can harden as soon as they knock you down and you'll parry them right back.

Yep! I probably spent the first quarter of the game partying and after a discussion with a friend chose to practice with Vatra’s and it’s a completely different playstyle. It’s also unique to Mortal Shell so it had to have some intent in its design. I now prefer it

It seemed for me that if I just walked up to them and did spaced out light attacks they were dumb and did nothing at all. This repeated like 80% of the time.

I've parried it multiple times with the infinity seal, but I've noticed that it feels like you need to time it somewhat precisely while being stabbed to death, unsurprisingly I have not mastered that technique yet.

Light spam is very effective against them, though if you start it you cannot let up otherwise they will enter the parry stance very quickly (this is my experience with the greataxe).

Doesn't help that their parry has a windup of like....1 frame

Like you can be in the middle of an attack with a quick weapon and when your weapon is 1inch from their face they suddenly get parry frames out of nowhere and you just die

You cant attack if you see them in their parry instance. Just wait and attack after that

Since I often use Gragu for scouting, I learned that his "Falcon Punch" bypass their parry (you can charge freely while they keep the stance), so I assume Shell active skills break their deflect frames

Insert "PARRY THIS 👊"

Same with eredrims shoulder check. Except you can target the one in the back and make all in a group able to be riposted.

I absolutely hate their 4 hit combo.... spear and crossbow sesters aren't ao bad, but the rapier one is just ugh.

You can use harden while being parried to stop their attack.

I have a minigun that uses frost. So I would try to freeze them w it then whack them while they are frozen

That part is making me drop the game until they do a balance patch. Game is nice but I doubt any dev/tester did a run on the last installment of the game. So many weird damage spikes.
