By pressing a hotkey (default N) you can now parry with certain weapons. Specifics depend on the item, but most have a short "warmup" after the press before an actual parry can occur, a "perfect parry" period which has increased effectiveness and special effects, and a "parry window" during which the effect is active. Failing a parry will deal stamina damage and stagger you, in most cases. There is a sound and a visual effect to alert your enemies to this.
While parry is active, you will rotate towards your cursor as to assist you with directional parries (certain items require you to be looking at your attacker). Successful parries lower or completely negate the damage, based on your timing, and convert a portion of it into stamina. Perfect parries (also usually) deal less stamina to the user.
