This section of the walkthrough focuses on the crucial combat mechanics of parrying and dodging in The First Berserker: Khazan. Mastering these defensive maneuvers is key to survival and overcoming challenging encounters.

Parrying involves timing a defensive action precisely as an enemy attack lands, deflecting it and often opening the enemy up for a counter-attack. Success depends on observing enemy attack patterns and reacting swiftly.

Dodging allows you to evade incoming attacks by quickly moving out of their range. Different dodge types may be available, offering varying distances and invincibility frames. Effective dodging requires understanding enemy attack trajectories and positioning yourself advantageously.

Key to both parrying and dodging is understanding enemy tells and attack wind-ups. Each enemy and boss will have unique attack animations that signal their intentions. Learning these patterns is vital for successful execution of defensive actions.
