How to parry in Resident Evil Requiem

How do you parry in Resident Evil Requiem? The parry mechanic is back, but only when you're playing as Leon - Grace is too busy just trying to survive to think about fancy moves. Leon's parry is great for conserving ammo, going one-on-one with enemies, and even in boss fights.

Leon's main melee weapon is an indestructible axe, though it will need a good sharpening every now and then, so keep an eye on the durability. He can use this axe to parry enemy hits, creating counter-attack opportunities and looking cool at the same time. Here's how to parry in Resident Evil Requiem.

To parry in Resident Evil Requiem, you need to press L1/LB/SPACE BAR just before the enemy's attack connects with you. On a successful parry, Leon shoves the enemy away, blocking the attack and creating an opportunity to use the axe to deliver a deadly blow.

You must make sure your axe is kept sharp, otherwise you won't be able to attack while the enemy is down, and a missed parry can lead to the enemy taking a mean bite out of you. If you miss the parry window, you can still use the axe to get a hit in; be sure to check how sharp it is in the bottom left of the screen.

Now you know how to parry, here are all the Resident Evil Requiem rewards and challenges and all the safe codes to get extra resources if your parries aren't successful.
