Yeah, but you're gonna need some practice to get the timing right. Trolls telegraph their swings, so you're likely going to parry too early and get slammed. However, once you've got the timing down, even a bronze buckler and bronze spear can make quick work of blue boys.

Wait, timing? I've been doing it wrong this whole time? I would just block and get knocked back. I could never get into melee range fast enough to counter. I just get knocked back over and over.. but if I time it, something different happens? Where does the game explain this?

Does this work on golems, too? They seemed impossible to melee. They have better range, better speed, and knock back with every strike. I thought kiting them was the only way. Same as trolls..
