Can I parry projectiles?
I can parry to block damage from bosses' melee attacks. Can I also parry as a projectile hits me to cancel its damage? If so, do I gain health like I do when parrying a melee attack, or does it only prevent damage?
Solution 1:
Yes, you can parry projectiles. A comment in the thread here explains how:
You [parry] projectiles the same way you parry regular attacks: Just hit the parry button right before it hits you.
It seems that parrying will reflect/deflect bullets, based on this short Q&A. There is no mention of health absorption.
