Hogwarts Legacy: how to parry and counter attack easily

 The parry or counterattack is a perfect maneuver to deflect enemy attacks in Hogwarts Legacy. Here we will explain how it works and how to get the most out of this movement.

Hogwarts Legacy: how to parry and counter attack easily


Hogwarts Legacy presents us with a combat system based on the use of enchantments. There are both offensive and defensive ones, and it is one of the defensive ones, Protego, which allows you to parry, that is, completely nullify the damage and instantly counterattack the enemy that was trying to hurt you. Here we will explain how to do it easily.


How to parry and counterattack

  • To parry and counter with Desmaius, the main thing is to look for a visual cue.
  • When an enemy is about to attack you with a strike that you can block, you will see a gold circle around your character's head.
  • When you see it, you have to press the block button (see the controls of your platform).
  • If executed correctly, your character will throw a Protego shield, regardless of which direction the attack is coming from.
  • This is when you can instantly execute a counter attack.
  • If you release the button, the parry ends there.
  • If you hold the button down, your character will perform a Faint on your target.
  • The target will be stunned for a short time.
  • Keep in mind that the Dismay affects your target, even if the attack comes from a different enemy. The enemy that will attack you, even if it has not been affected by the Desmaius, will be staggered a bit.
