📋 About This Mod
Hellblade - Timed Block
NYFDW-1OBjw
0. 2s behavior timed block (CK timed block are 1s and scripted timed block are prone to script lag)
Removes the recoil on normal block and implements it only for timed blocks
Custom shadder and sound on successful timed block
Implemented unused 2hw recoil animation
This combat overhaul for Hellblade tightens the timed block window from 1 second to 0.2 seconds, making parries much more precise and rewarding. It also removes the standard recoil, applying it only on successful timed blocks, and reimplements an unused two-handed weapon recoil animation. For players seeking a higher skill ceiling and more satisfying combat, this mod delivers a sharper, more reactive blocking system.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 2,473 endorsements and over 158k downloads – clearly a hit.
- Tightens combat to reward skill – that 0.2s window makes every parry feel earned.
- Adds a fresh animation that was cut from the base game, giving two-handed builds more flair.
⚠️ Cons
- The 0.2-second window is brutal – casual players will get wrecked until they master the timing.
- Only affects blocking; if you wanted broader combat changes, this won't touch anything else.
- Last updated in 2021, so it might not be compatible with any future game patches (though none have come).
For Hellblade veterans who've mastered the base parry and want a real challenge. If you're a completionist aiming for flawless runs, this mod will test your reflexes. Skip it if you prefer a more forgiving combat experience or if you're new to the game – the default timing is already tough.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Practice the new timing in the game's training area – the 0.2s window is unforgiving, so get a feel for the animation cues.
- If you're on PC, make sure to back up your original game files before overwriting, just in case you want to revert.
- Pair this with a combat difficulty mod if you want a truly punishing experience – the tighter block window alone will change your playstyle.
