It happens what always happens when I change classes – I just can’t get along with it. An assassin in particular is very demanding and you really have to deal with him. I still harbour the dream of finally being able to parry in DS3, but I’m just really clumsy.
I just can’t find the exact point when I have to parry. Do I have to press the button to parry as soon as I see the weapon coming? Or rather just before it hits me? Somewhere in between. I’m always on the lookout for a practice opportunity near a bonfire to test the whole thing. But so far I haven’t found a single enemy in the vicinity that can be parried and you don’t have to run far.
I thought about how you could play an assassin, actually such an assassin is a very stealthy figure who moves in the shadows. I just try to kill the enemies from ambush. An important tool for this is “Hidden Body”. This allows me to sneak between enemies quite unnoticed. For this, however, I still need four points in intelligence. That’s exactly what I need to farm here.
