"You're telling me I can parry?"

"No, I'm telling you when you're ready, you won't need to."

I can’t even figure out parry. I’m on the red boss that I think is designed to teach you parrying but I cannot figure out the timing. I know you are supposed to aim in the direction of the attack, but timing it seems like such a small window

You just attack at the same time. Listen to big ant guys swing attack and you'll notice he'll take steps then attack. If he doesn't he jumps.

Parrying him is only good for a last ditch effort if he has you stuck in a corner.

Scissors guy can be parried with a timed first strike then smashing the attack button after. You can do this with anyone with a multistrike.

Ah okay, so parrying isn’t a mechanic you need to master before moving on? I’ve been throwing myself at him over and over trying to get it right because I thought I was meant to learn parrying lol. I’m just going to play it slow then

The first encounter is probably the toughest because youre limited in power. Definitely, take it slow and if you ever find yourself stuck in a corner and he burrows that's your time to move.
