Enthusiasts continue to deliver diverse content for The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt. Recently, CD Projekt RED’s game was transformed into a project reminiscent of Dark Souls.
The modification received a “telling” name: “Sekiro Gervant - Parry-Counter REDUX - NEXT-GEN”, which places emphasis on parrying / counterattacking mechanics and styles them after Souls / Sekiro.
Geralt will be able to deflect arrows without having the corresponding skill and parry heavy attacks from human enemies.
At the same time, counterattacks during dodges are no longer available; mod author Priler is a fan of playing on a gamepad, so he enhanced the feedback for parries and counterattacks on controllers.
The timing window is adjusted to make parrying “a bit harder to perform....[from 0.4 sec.] to 0.3 sec. (18 frames in the context of 60 FPS)”.
Modder Priler commented on this change as follows:
“The goal I am aiming for is a Sekiro/Souls-style parry/counterattack, so that you feel rewarded after pulling off every counterattack! Can’t counter? Skill issue. GG, bro:3 ”
Nevertheless, he is understanding towards those who cannot counterattack properly — to such players, he suggests additionally installing the mod “Easy Counterattack - Next Gen (Legendary Counter Parry Combat Attacks)” or “Increased Counter Window - Next Gen”, which increases the timing window for parrying.
All mods are distributed free of charge via Nexus Mods.
