Golden Parry and Carian Retaliation on Medium shield has better time frame than buckler parry. These 2 ashes give you more room these POS mob. Good luck, Tanished!
@ashbian "oh wow someone's criticizing my favourite game!!! Marika's tits!!! Gotta tell them they're bad because they can't beat something that takes skill!!! No summons no armor run when?!?!?!"
Remember that different parry tools have different timings. Some come out super fast but have tiny windows of parry frames while others might start the window a lot later than when you pressed the button but have a more forgiving time frame.
You can sneak arround the first one! Second and thrid can be tricked by sneaking through a golen flower which makes bling sound and attracts them, just keep on sneaking and they dont find you!
Thank you thank you thank you!! I’ve been trying to parry him for so long and watched other vids and I thought I was parring at the right time but nothing worked. But your tip to hold up your shield first with L1 before hitting L2 worked like a charm! 😊
I don't know the mechanics... but just FYI out there... it's not necessarily an instant kill, at least on new game with most blessings. It's a lot less hassle/risk to parry kill them (or just run past them without bothering with stealth) if they don't instant kill you. You can just double heal and keep going or try another parry. Equip the anti-madness talismans so it doesn't proc madness during the main attack but is then out of sync and just procs while in their presence. And max life talisman. This gives you like 4-5 tries to get the parry before being sent back. Most of these are right by a stake so it's not a huuuge deal, but I think it's much easier to learn the parry timing if you don't have 30-60 seconds or whatever between attempts. You just back up, double "estus" and try again.
You are a savior, Make sure you utilize that parry the moment they start their wand animation, using the buckler shield parry for this makes this a perfectly timed parry.
I happen to be to close, that's when they just swing their stick but don't do the charge. The charge is much easier to parry as their weapon is basically in front of you. If you are too close, they do the swing, which is hard to time.
I couldn't, until I took off my armor and lost my fear of them, I was left naked, with only the shield and a spear, I killed everyone, the one that came out in the fog I killed the first time, two parrys to kill each one
FYI: I reccomend NOT using a medium shield or a weapon (except for a dagger) to parry these enemies with... As Medium shields and almost every weapon parry is a 2 frame window vs something like Buckler, which has roughly 8 frames, or regular small shields which have 6 frames
Edit: also you don't... really need to fight them... As you can just use "Assassin's Gambit" AoW to just run right past them without them even noticing you even at fairly close range... it's seriously op if you just dont wannt fight stuff...
I just avoided killing them. What they drop can be gotten from other enemies in the library... Equip the talisman that removes all sound, stealth using the tall grass. And use the bells to distract them too if you want.
Amazing tip. Just curious how do you get that light above your head? I really want it it seems to be brighter then any torch and well you don’t need to carry it
I love-hate the fact that fromsoftware teaches you that you can parry the Aging Untouchable AFTER you reached Midra’s Manse, that is, assuming you read the notes in the first room to the left after you got there 😂
For me its just irony that the enemies that look like they came straight out of bloodborne require a parry to defeat.😅😅😅😅😅 bloodborne forced you to learn how to parry to get past certain enemies
If they don’t respawn does that mean I have to get a lucky drop for the talisman? Or will I get it from one either way? I’ve killed the ones I found and they’re gone 😢
Same bro. I killed 3 and now I don’t see the four one spawning at all. Sometimes this game…. Grrr Edit: ok, search for a map ok google the one you need to take down. It will lead you right to the one you need to find. Finally done!!! Thanks to this video and that map!
I died a lot before a figured out the timing. Push your parry button (I’m on PS5 so L2 for me) when those mfs begin their animation, don’t wait for the last minute. As soon as they raise their stick push L2. To be honest the parry timing is way off.
I’ve been trying to do this for like an hour to take out just one and I cannot get the party timing, just swear the guy in my game is hitting faster then in this video?? What am I missing
This whole area and bosses is very underwhelming and underutilized imo. Winter lantern should be 1 massive lingering horror that stalk you constantly and cannot be killed. They can make it more menacing with giving it a sound cue when nearby. And it's empty as hell there. At least give more cave, enemy, building and more depth to Midra Manse.
It's terrible design to force you to have to parry enemies or you die. Game is a 10/10, but this is genuinely one of the worst things they've put in a game.
@@THamm-xt8jm Doing what wrong? I parried and killed them fine. It's still bad design to have enemies like that. The whole area is a bit of a chore without a horse also. I get the reason behind the no horse, but it gets old real quick imo
@@coreykuehl8519 I think it’s meant to make those enemies more scary and intimidating. U can’t run away from them with the horse and there’s only one way to kill them. Since u can only parry them u either succeed or basically die if u miss it. The whole thing is nerve wracking, which I assume is the point. It is a slog to get around though, but I think the trade off of ditching the horse is worth it. If u try getting on the horse in that forest u get a message saying it’s too scared to come to u. Everything comes together to make u feel scared. I guess it doesn’t work for everyone though
No words to describe how good it felt when I accidentally parried one of these MFers and realized they weren't so invincible afterall. I enjoyed my revenge very very much.
I mean, you could read the messages on the ground if there, but it seems everyone is making the videos it's good that people spread the word is what really matters
_I dont think dagger parry works ~ is that True guys ? i tried 20 times but will try shield parry and update but please lemme know if dagger parry works i've sold many shield for smithing stones lol i don't think i've parry ash or war too_ My Questions Answered Dagger parry worked i had "Skill issue" lol
Are these living versions of the statues that point out cave/dungeon areas in the original game? They have that same hunched back and everything just a full glowy head lol
I just posted below... but.... not necessarily. I don't know what it actually scales with but at least on new game with most blessings it deals about 2000 damage, which is survivable if you switch your talismans around.
Today I learnt I’m absolutely useless at parrying
parry the hand, not the weapon.
No worries, you are not the only one.......😢
Damn I saw all the try parrying messages and just assumed they were trolling.
I thought you needed to parry every time but turns out i just needed to parry once then just beat the thing up like a bully.
Omg thank you for this
Lol so i was prepared to bully, but with my blessing at 15 and the meteor GS i killed it with parry follow up
i suck at paryying
Blocking before parrying is a good tip, thank you.
Yeah it is weird how it makes all the difference? The hell.
Wonder if that is a tip for parrying any enemy.
400 trys finally did it and got a swollen grape not even the right one, such an elden ring moment
The one you get it from is the first one after the abandoned church
you failed to parry 400 fucking times?
@@Valskyr it took me 2 times and I don't even parry in souls games, except bloodborne and sekiro ofc😤
@@AnimeFan-zz9fs🤓👆
@Valskyr sarcasm of course not 400 pry 250

I cannot get the parry to save my life
Completely random whether it works or not. Dogshit game.
@@ExpensiveGun cope lol
When they attack you will see them raise then lower their wand/cane thing. You wanna parry when they lower it. Once i figured that out it's been easy

Thank you so much!
Only problem is one drops a talisman
After an hour of trying to parry, the hold block trick worked on the first try. Thank you!
THAT TIP!!!!! Hold block and then parry, BOOM!!!! LVL 1 could do it now, I can't believe I died so many times trying different timing. THANK YOU!!!!
It worked like a charm.
It took me a couple tries to hold block and then timing the parry when the enemy tried to use a grab attack.
Thank you

Thanks for the explain man! I was definitely going on the wrong info - just need that bloodborne timing
You are a savior,
Make sure you utilize that parry the moment they start their wand animation, using the buckler shield parry for this makes this a perfectly timed parry.
that having your shield up tip saved me

got it first try after this video thank you so much 👍
Thank you so much those freaking enemies made it hard for me to make it through the game
0:50 listen close thats the key trust me HOLD BLOCK FIRST
Block/parry tip worked perfectly, ty.
I tried 1000 times an soon as I saw this I got it next try lol thanks!!
best video on youtube about these enemies, thanks
Thank you brother that helped so much
Amazing tip. Just curious how do you get that light above your head? I really want it it seems to be brighter then any torch and well you don’t need to carry it
It is the starlight spell, it can be bought in the base game from the NPC at the very start of Liurnia region church 👍🏻
@@GamerGuruOfficial oh awesome thanks so much I can’t believe I didn’t see it 😅 iv played through the game so many times wow 😅 cheers heaps though
You’re a fuckin lifesaver bro. Had to subscribe just for this tip
Edit
Golden parry does work 💪
Oh it does. That's been my main way to parry them
@@robertetchingham7337 fixxed it 😂
Thanks for the tip. I was nearly in tears because I couldn’t do it. Are there 3 of them in this location? I can’t find more
Use the PARRYING DAGGER! Its so easy with it. The parry window feels twice as long
well, after 50 tries I'll have to give up: I don't even understand its attack pattern, it always ends up grabbing me.
Thanks a ton, that was a head scratcher
It worked!!! So weird that holding the block button then pressing parry worked 2nd try
Concealing veil and Crepus's vial talismans. Crouch through to the end.
thanks for this vid bro. The parry is a lil tricky put the payoff is cool.💯💯💯
I personally prefer playing this section like a horror game lol
I love-hate the fact that fromsoftware teaches you that you can parry the Aging Untouchable AFTER you reached Midra’s Manse, that is, assuming you read the notes in the first room to the left after you got there 😂
...Is that a goddamn Summer Lantern?
Blocking before parrying got me in forst try , thanks
For me its just irony that the enemies that look like they came straight out of bloodborne require a parry to defeat.😅😅😅😅😅 bloodborne forced you to learn how to parry to get past certain enemies
As a guy who sucks at parrying, these enemies are the worst. But I'll keep throwing myself at them in order to kill them permanently
If they don’t respawn does that mean I have to get a lucky drop for the talisman? Or will I get it from one either way? I’ve killed the ones I found and they’re gone 😢
It is a 100% drop rate from this specific one shown in the video, follow the path and you will find it 👍🏻
Same bro. I killed 3 and now I don’t see the four one spawning at all. Sometimes this game…. Grrr
Edit: ok, search for a map ok google the one you need to take down. It will lead you right to the one you need to find. Finally done!!! Thanks to this video and that map!
I finally killed one! Took me a hot minute to get it right.
Killed 5 this way so far. No idea if thats all of them though.
Are there 5 of them in total?
There is one in the fog
There are 2 in the same area near a statue of Marika
And I found a 4th one.
!!! The L1 before L2 trick worked on my first try! Thank you!!
I died a lot before a figured out the timing. Push your parry button (I’m on PS5 so L2 for me) when those mfs begin their animation, don’t wait for the last minute. As soon as they raise their stick push L2. To be honest the parry timing is way off.
Never parried really and got all of them first try, guessing they have an easier parry window as it’s the only way of killing them.
I just ignored those guys and used stealth lol
As soon as you see then raise their stick parry.
I’ve been trying to do this for like an hour to take out just one and I cannot get the party timing, just swear the guy in my game is hitting faster then in this video?? What am I missing
the git gud factor probably
Hands down the worst enemy design in souls history . Unfair and maddening
I've only managed to kill one so far the next parts keep screwing me over since there are two of those jerks that'll attack at the same time... 😢
Got to ask, I have hit three of these, how many are there total?
This whole area and bosses is very underwhelming and underutilized imo.
Winter lantern should be 1 massive lingering horror that stalk you constantly and cannot be killed. They can make it more menacing with giving it a sound cue when nearby.
And it's empty as hell there. At least give more cave, enemy, building and more depth to Midra Manse.
I just need to figure out how to avoid the bs teleport+knock down combo. Thats the hard part.
okay, if you ring one of the bells in the bushes they will run over rather than do the teleport. That makes it so much easier.
parry timing on this guys is HORSESHIT
your parry timing is HORSESHIT*
You meant "Torrentshit"?
What's the blue light on the tarnished called?
Why they even bothered to name it differently? That’s a Winter Lantern right there.
No parrying ever.
Ah yes, we made Bloodborne winter lanterns even more annoying somehow. Brilliant.
Thank you!!!!!!!
You sir, get a like and a follow.
bro!! THANK YOU!
Funny how I managed to kill the first 2 but the third one gives me a hard time
What weapon is that??
Use the Parry dagger.
It's terrible design to force you to have to parry enemies or you die. Game is a 10/10, but this is genuinely one of the worst things they've put in a game.
I agree 100 procent i do not fight is i crouch past them with my ninja greaves i hope i do not have to fight them further a long 🤣
Hmm...it reminds me something , you just described Sekiro (🤮)
It’s pretty straightforward. Just because ur doing something wrong doesn’t mean the game is in the wrong

First try using your advice back to back parries 😂❤
Good to know they don’t respawn
Thank god because I suck at parrying but I killed all of them.
Is there any way to get their head as a helmet?
Did you figure this out on your own or did you get this from someone elses video that was posted yesterday?
I mean, you could read the messages on the ground if there, but it seems everyone is making the videos it's good that people spread the word is what really matters

What if they’re not showing health bars? I get crits on them easy and they don’t die
is it not working or I'm that bad at parrying ?
They ARE straight out of Bloodborne
What is that light over his head
Gotta hold down L1 first then L2, that’s the only way it works
Wish they sang like in bloodborne :(
What's that weapon please
I skip the entire area, its too much of a pain in the ass
Are these living versions of the statues that point out cave/dungeon areas in the original game? They have that same hunched back and everything just a full glowy head lol
I've never been good at parrying in any fromsoft game. Time to get gud I guess
Damn he was at 1% after parrying :(
double parry for the win !
You don't have to double parry. After you parry you can just attack
They really went back to one of the easy way to kill the winter lantern in bloodborne 😂😂😂… thank god the design isnt as gross as the one in bb
What Armour was he using when talking to gostoc
Fire knight chest and death knight helmet can't see the rest though
Can they drop their head piece??
No
Son of a b… is a one hit kill attack

golden parry 3th try, without i tried 20 times xD
How does one tell whether a shield has the parry skill or not?
Go to any thing and see the Skill tab it'll say No skill Tongues Of Fire
Or in this case Parry something
Am I dumb I can’t parry
Me neither man
Dogshit game. It's completely random.
@@ExpensiveGun I don't think it random I just suck
@@spedfard2501 They have like 3 different grabs they do that have different speeds and parry windows. It's dumb.
