Counter Heavy Attacks - Remastered

Counter heavy attacks, with the vanilla counter logic.

In the base game you can only parry and counter some attacks: heavy attacks (heavy axes, halberds, drowner claws...) make Geralt stagger and still hurt him.

With this mod:

• []Holding block parries heavy attacks too, without staggering or taking damage.[/]

  []Blocking at the right time counters them, exactly like the vanilla counter (no automatic counter while holding block).[/]

  Option for big enemies (new in 1. 1)

  Options > Mods > Heavy Attacks From Big Enemies:

  • []Parry and counter (default): heavy attacks from big enemies can be parried and countered too.[/]

    []Parry only: you can parry them, but not counter them.[/]

    []Vanilla: their heavy attacks stay unblockable, like in the base game.[/]

  Big enemies are the ones the game itself treats as big: taller than about 2 m or very wide (bears, werewolves, trolls, griffins...), plus bosses. Smaller enemies like drowners or humans are not affected.

  Option for two-handed weapons (new in 1. 2)

  Options > Mods > Heavy Attacks From Two-Handed Weapons:

  • []Parry only (default): heavy attacks from humans with a two-handed weapon (axes, hammers, halberds, staffs) can be parried but not countered, the game has no proper counter animation for those.[/]

    []Parry and counter: same as before.[/]

    Option for holding block (new in 1. 3)

    Options > Mods > Hold Block Parries Heavy Attacks:

    • []Yes (default): holding block parries heavy attacks, a timed block counters them, as before.[/]

      []No (timed counter only): heavy attacks can only be countered with a timed block. Holding block against them works like vanilla (Geralt staggers and takes the hit).[/]

      Notes

      • []Do not use it together with my Hold Block To Counter mod: that mod already includes the heavy attack part, plus automatic counters while holding block. Pick the one you prefer.[/]
