List of Contents - How to Parry - Best Parrying Tips - Is Using the Infinite Seal Worth It? - Related Guides ## How to Parry in Mortal Shell 2 - Equip the Infinite Seal - Parry Before an Attack Lands ### 1. Equip the Infinite Seal The Infinite Seal is an equippable item that allows you to parry enemy attacks . It is different from the Untarnished Seal , which blocks attacks and executes perfect guards instead. Compared to the Untarnished Seal, the Infinite Seal encourages a high risk, high reward playstyle. The Infinite Seal is obtained as a reward for completing Sester Genessa's tutorial on using the Untarnished Seal in the Marrow Keep. How to Get Infinite Seal and Abilities ### 2. Parry Before an Attack Lands Equip the Infinite Seal to make use of its parry ability. When confronting enemies, press L1 / LB (on PS5 or Xbox) or Q (on PC) to parry their attacks before they hit you . The wind-up animation has you perform a sweeping motion to parry the attack, which can easily miss if mistimed . #### Timed Parries Build Up Enemy's Break Meter Enemies have a break meter just below their health bar. With the Infinite Seal, parrying their attacks causes the meter to build up, which culminates in an opportunity to perform a riposte , a special move that deals more damage than a regular attack. When the break meter is full, enemies will be stunned for a while, indicated by a red dot . ## Best Parrying Tips Parry Wind-Up Should Meet Enemy Strike Do Not Panic Parry When Enemy Moves Do Not Parry Red Glint Attacks Practice Parrying on Regular Enemies ### Parry Wind-Up Should Meet Enemy Strike It is important to note that a successful parry requires the Infinite Seal to meet the enemy's attack halfway , instead of parrying when the enemy moves to attack or waiting for the strike to hit you. Watch the movement of the enemy's attack to gauge the point at which your parry will meet it at the middle. The Infinite Seal's wind-up animation may take a while to get used to, and you may mistime your parries the first time around. ### Do Not Panic Parry When Enemy Moves It is better to anticipate an enemy strike than to rely on reaction time to deflect it. If you mistime the enemy strike, you will leave yourself susceptible to the enemy's attacks. Observe the enemy first instead of parrying blindly. This is to make sure that even after mistiming a parry, you will not be hit by follow-up attacks, especially unblockable ones. ### Do Not Parry Red Glint Attacks Not all attacks can be parried. Enemy attacks that glow with a red circle indicate that they cannot be blocked or parried . In combat, especially against bosses, watch out for the glinted attacks and prepare to parry or dodge out of the way. Choosing to risk a parry or evade safely can make the difference between winning or losing a battle. ### Practice Parrying on Regular Enemies Practice mastering your parries with regular enemies to get used to the mechanic and the Infinite Seal's wind-up animation, as opposed to practicing against difficult enemies, like bosses. At the Marrow Keep, you can practice using the Infinite Seal with Sester Genessa . ## Is Using the Infinite Seal Worth It? ### Only For a Challenging Experience The Infinite Seal is worth using if you are looking for a more challenging way to deflect enemy attacks and the accomplishment that comes with the risk. Generally, the Untarnished Seal is the better Seal as you can block and perform perfect guards to deplete your enemy's break meter. As opposed to the Infinity Seal, the Untarnished Seal is much safer . ## Mortal Shell 2 Related Guides ![Recommended Guides](../media/1247d55899_1.webp) Mortal Shell II Guides ### Meta Guides Best Seal Tier List | Best Shells Tier List | Best Weapon Tier List Best Sidearms Tier List | Best Tarstones | Best Active and Passive Items ### Beginner Guides Beginner's Guide and Best Starting Tips | How to Get All Demo Achievements | All Endings Guide How Long to Beat Mortal Shell 2 | Can You Retrieve Harros? | How to Save NG+ Rewards and What Carries Over | Difficulty Explained | Resolve Explained How to Heal and Increase HP | Best Settings | How to Return to the Starting Area List of All Missables and Points of No Return | Night Mode Explained | Should You Summon Shell Companions?
