Don't think you can parry red attacks. You can parry yellows though.
Anyone have clear understanding of exactly what character level does other than a numerical estimate of how good your gear is? Best I've found is that attacks from enemies too far above your level will always be red, or that you do less damage/take more than if you were on par with them. That's a solid incentive to prioritize gear for power level instead of useful effects if true. The article didn't cite anything though, or provide numerical values for the damage decrease/increase of the level differential.

You can parry the yellow ones, not the red. Timing is the same as other attacks; when the hit is just about to land.
Worth noting that there's a passive effect on talisman that increases the parry window to the point where it's practically impossible to fail unless you're just holding down block.

I actually use that talisman, it's invaluable when facing a shitload of enemies that swarm you.

The red ones? I've tried and have been wrecked every single time. I dodge them now.

I treated the opening part to the Valkyries like a burn phase. Opened with a free running axe R2, spam arrows, hit my 2 Axe runics, hit my stun tailsman, switch to chains and hit their 2 runics, respam arrows, spawn wolf that resets arrows respam arrows one more time and than start the fight as normal. If I connected them all it took a huge chunk of their health away and made the fight a lot more manageable.

If you are having too much trouble with one, maybe try another one and come back later. They all have varying attacks and patterns, some much easier than others. Though if you are talking about the very first one you can access in the frost giant area, that's one of the easier ones
Bit of a parry fest, just one or two attacks that are red.

This game has a lot going for it, and all that has been mentioned already.
However, I’m finding it to have some serious story pacing issues mid game. To the point where, compared to early game, I’m finding myself straight up bored. Also, aside from the first one, the boss fights have been extremely underwhelming. The kid has gotten so powerful that the combat has lost all sense of difficulty too.

Was playing on default but I just had to increase it. Feels somewhat better now.
That’s the least of my complaints though.

Spoiled for you but just gives you the rundown of what it does..
Heavy knock back, heavy damage, heavy interrupt it can flinch bosses who scoff at just about everything else, and it has 3 slots for Enhancements when fully upgraded

I was initially puzzled at the statement that there would be no DLC given the existence of the map room (even though is specifically says soandso will never be open). Then I realized they were likely gonna do the old fashioned 'sequel' rather than a DLC expansion and would be able to re-use the asset.
