Hello,
I have a question about Iris' greatest fear and Olgierd as well. Without going into too much detail about the story, can someone please finally tell me wether its a bug that you are unable to parry Olgierd/his specters everytime you encounter him/them on NG+ with death march/enemy upscaling on.
I managed to fix whatever was happening when I turned off "enemy upscaling" in the regular olgierd fight (so I was able to parry his normal hits). This was not managable before. He always went through quen/parry/block. He literally oneshot you. But now that I fight his specters even the turning off of "enemy upscaling" fails to do anything. All I can do is dodge, and while this is a solution its not as secure as parrying, given the fact that the game does not always have npcs stick to its rules.
I just want to know if this is a bug or if it is intended. I combed the internet, many people have the same issue like I do. Some people claim the chort decoction is the answer, others say its the enemy upscaling that is the problem. Others have no issue at all, according to youtube videos and others, like me, find their answer in neither of the solutions mentioned above.
So what is it? Is it a bug? Is there some armor value you have to cross to be able to parry? I know for a fact that you can parry his normal hits in NG with DM on. This makes no sense.
Someone with more knowledge than me please tell me.
