Sekiro: 18 Tips & Tricks The Game Doesn't Tell You

1. You CAN Parry The "Unblockable" Moves

This requires pixel-precise action, but though the game tells you there are a slew of "unblockable" moves that you need to leap over or dodge away from, you can still parry them using L1/LB, providing you tap the button EXACTLY when the blow would connect.

Essentially it's the parry system of old Dark Souls; the harder technique of timing being the crux of everything, rather than Sekiro's standard system where you're opening up a "window" of counter-ability, then letting the attack connect.

Either way, grabs are the only thing you'll HAVE to stay away from, as everything else can be met steel-for-steel, providing your timing is perfect.
