Parrying the Winter Lantern in Elden Ring is a crucial technique to master in order to defeat this challenging enemy. The Winter Lantern is a large, spectral foe that emits a chilling aura and can inflict Frostbite on players. Parrying its attacks not only staggers it but also creates an opening for a critical strike.
To parry the Winter Lantern, players must time their block precisely as the enemy’s fist or lantern strikes them. A successful parry will deflect the attack and leave the Winter Lantern vulnerable for a moment. It is important to note that the Winter Lantern’s attacks are relatively slow and telegraphed, making them easier to parry than some other enemies in the game. Additionally, parrying the Winter Lantern’s attacks can help to mitigate the Frostbite buildup, as blocking alone will not prevent the status effect from being inflicted.
