You can perfect block or guard an attack by pressing the L1/LB button on your PlayStation or Xbox controller, respectively, right before an attack reaches you. If you're using a keyboard, then you must press the Space button to guard attacks. As always, the game lets you customize these controls according to your preference by navigating to the settings menu.

As mentioned earlier, parrying in Lies of P requires precise timing, as the window to block or dodge attack is very narrow. If the player successfully parries, they are always positioned to counter-attack, and doing it enough times leads to a chunky high-damage critical attack.

On top of that, it leaves the opponent in a vulnerable state, which can then be followed up with massive damage. Finally, Perfect Guards do not consume stamina if executed correctly, but it requires a high skill ceiling to master the timings, especially for beginners.
