Resonance Parry System — Yellow, Red, Untouchable
How parry actually works after launch: yellow ripostes, red dodges, Deflect mastery, and the six-parry trophy.
The shipped telegraph
Yellow: tap L1 / LB / Q at impact. The attacker stuns; you get a free string or a crit. Hold the same button to block. Red: dodge (Circle / B / Space) unless Aegean Deflect mastery 1 is bought — that mastery is why Deflect is first on every serious tree.
Feints exist. Wait for the committed frame. DualSense resistance on PS5 is flavour; the window is visual. PC is the same timing at a locked 60; unlocked 200 FPS with frame gen makes parries feel late for some players.
Untouchable
Six successful parries in a row. It is flaky on low difficulties. Nightmare + Invincible Mode + Rusty Sword, Chapter X bridge, first army fight. Blocking non-glowing hits is allowed; taking a hit is not. A chime confirms a real parry.
Bindings: controls hub. Spend order: best skills.

Use Nightmare, invincibility, Rusty Sword, and a long clean string on the Chapter X bridge.
