What Is Perfect Parry
Perfect Parry is a timed defensive move that removes all incoming damage when done correctly. No matter how strong the hit is, a successful Perfect Parry blocks everything. When you do it right, your character will release a red glowing aura, which is the indicator that the parry was perfect. Key points:
- Cancels all damage when timed correctly
- Works only when you press the guard/parry button at the exact moment before the hit lands
- Can briefly interrupt or stun some enemies
- Useful for heavy enemies and bosses
How to Do a Perfect Parry
Performing a Perfect Parry is all about timing. You only need to tap the guard/parry button right before the enemy’s attack hits.
Here’s the simple method:
- Watch the enemy’s movement — look for their attack animation.
- Wait until the hit is about to land — not too early and not too late.
- Tap the parry button once — don’t hold it, just tap.
- If correct, a red glow will appear around your character, showing a successful Perfect Parry.
Helpful tips:
- Practice on enemies with clear attack wind-ups like zombies or big creatures.
- Notice the rhythm and animation patterns; most enemies attack at a predictable pace.
- Avoid spamming the button — early parries usually fail.
Why Perfect Parry Matters
Perfect Parry becomes very important in tougher zones because it:
- Saves healing and resources
- Makes farming mobs safer
- Helps players with light armor builds
- Gives a big advantage during boss fights with high-damage swings
Once you get used to the timing, you can block almost anything without losing HP.
Perfect Parry might feel tricky at first, but with a bit of practice, it turns into one of the most reliable defensive tools in The Forge. Learning the timing not only keeps you alive longer but also makes farming and exploring much easier. Keep practicing, and you’ll soon be parrying enemy attacks like a pro.
