Did they nerf Carian retaliation?

Yes, Carian Retaliation in Elden Ring received a significant nerf in Patch 1.04 (April 2022) that fixed its notorious "invisible sword" exploit, which allowed players to instantly kill opponents by parrying spells with hidden projectiles, though it still functions as a powerful magic parry with decent damage when used correctly. The exploit made it overpowered, leading FromSoftware to patch it, effectively "nerfing" its broken potential while retaining its intended function as a strong defensive and offensive tool against magic.

Is parrying legal in boxing?

Yes, you absolutely can parry in boxing; it's a fundamental defensive skill where you use a quick, subtle hand or forearm movement to deflect an opponent's punch, rather than blocking it head-on, creating openings for your own counterattacks by redirecting their offense. Pro fighters like Julio Cesar Chavez and Canelo Alvarez use micro-parries so fast they're hard to see, turning an opponent's attack into a chance to launch their own.

For maximum critical (riposte) damage after a successful parry, use the Misericorde dagger.

While old console versions allowed pre-Plantera drops through specific glitches or mechanics, the official path now gates it behind Plantera's defeat for most players, requiring the True Night's Edge, True Excalibur, and a Broken Hero Sword.
