m8, I can't parry the most basic undead enemy with a knife and you want me to parry a giant enemy crab?

Yep, and they can also be riposted as they bring themselves up to slam their claws down, they're a pretty cool enemy.

I’ve never heard of such a thing, but I know they can be staggered from plunge attacks. Though this can only be done if they’re facing you.

When they're going for the Crab-o Grab-o you can parry and give em the good ole Crab-o Stab-o

I play a low level Shrek character and have killed these crabs in almost every way possible. 2 light attacks and a heavy with an ultra will stagger them, a plunging attack can stagger them, the act of actually just falling on them near their center of mass will stagger them, when they raise both claws to do a slam attack they can be riposted (if you position yourself right after a plunge they will almost always follow up with this attack once they recover) and they have a few attacks that can be just straight up parried.

Yes you can parry giant crabbos but I've never done it myself that I can remember

You can parry the armored tusk charge attack too

When they do the double claw slam they can be riposted

I have a vague memory of parrying a crab once but I honestly had to look it up. Turns out ‘it depends’

I only knew they could be staggered from a plunge attack. I love these games, beat em like 100 times over and still learn new things about it!

It is, although it is weird. You can parry it when it does its slam attack with both claws. It is open for a riposte for a few seconds. Also the Giant that shoots Arrows can put it in a parry like state.

I remember seeing this guy parry every parryable enemy in Dark Souls 3. the most notable to me were the giant crabs and Lorian

It's the weirdest thing but they are very parry-able and it is quite useful. FUN FACT, they can also be plunged for a fun and unique animation (dont quote me on that)

Are you going to tell me that these casuals can't parry "THE CLAW OF EXTREME PREJUDICE"

Yes, so can the giant snake guys in ArchDragon Peak. The reason people don't try to is mainly because it's a general rule that the big ass bois are unparryable so most tend to not attempt it. That and it can be a bit tricky to pull off effectively.

WITHOUT looking it up, is it possible to parry the giant crab enemies in Dark Souls 3?
