It’s funny I’ve been hearing about this sound indicator a lot but never managed to hear it myself.
I’m around 100h in the endgame, level 99 with all pictos, weapons and stuff but never managed that sound indicator.
I parry using visual references. Sometimes having to look a bit at the larger scene, having the action in my peripheral vision for some bosses. It worked perfectly until now but one day I shall try to hear that sound indicator…
It's not always the same sound. I'll admit, it'd been a month or two since I've played but it's often something like a metallic "ping" right before the hit. On some of the harder bosses I literally found it easier to close my eyes and go by sound for the parrying. But whatever works for you
