📋 About This Mod

Thanks to the wonderful mod "Elden Parry" created by Dtry. Combine with the Valhalla Combat stun system, I can finally Parry and Execute the enemy in Skyrim. It's feed back, and the slow time effect really burn up my "Dark Souls".

So I create these "bash" and "blockidle" animations for myself, inspired by Dark Souls and Elden Ring. And I decide to share them there.



Attention again, these animations are mainly serve for "Parry", Just like what you did in Dark Souls and Elden Ring. And need to combine with Dtry's mod:  "Elden Parry" and "Valhalla Combat" to gain the full experience.

But it's OK to use it without "Elden Parry" and "Valhalla Combat". What I made are just some .hkx files like other animation mods.

Install 

1. Install normally.

2. Upload all in one version. Test in vanilla,  impactful blocking ver1. 4 and impactful blocking ver1. 8. Compatible

2. There are two version: Impactful Blocking(v1. 8) version and Vanilla version.

If you are using Impactful Blocking v1. 8 (Create by ADRI), download and install the Impactful Blocking version.

I actually don't know how Impactful Blocking works but I find that the "fence_bash", "fence" and "PC_fence" animations control the character's bash. So I let my animations overwrite them by using higher DAR order, and it works!

3. The 2hm bash has extra sound effect, and the screen shake effect. But it need the newest version of Elden Rim. Because the annotations I used to create 2hm bash animation effect are from the jump attack in Elden Rim.)[/siz

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you're using Mod Organizer 2, install this mod and let it overwrite the default bash animations, then check the preview in the mod list to see the new moves.
  • Make sure Elden Parry and Valhalla Combat are installed and loaded before this mod so the animations line up correctly.
  • Test the parry timing in a low-stakes fight first, since the new animation might change your muscle memory for parrying.
