Godfall: How to Block

While action and taking the offensive may be a core part of Godfall‘s gameplay, knowing when to go on the defensive is just as important. Your enemies can be just as aggressive as you, and will do everything in their power to take you out before you end them. That’s why we’re here to make sure you know how to Block in Godfall.

How to Block in Godfall

Blocking in Godfall is easy to do, and whether or not it works isn’t strictly tied to your timing either.

When you see that an enemy attack is incoming, all you need to do is press and hold the L1 button on PlayStation 5 or the LB button on Xbox Series X. Doing so will raise your shield, and will block incoming damage from both melee and ranged attacks.

There’s no limit to how long you can block either, so it’s highly recommended that you block whenever possible. In particular, you should always block when approaching enemies who use ranged attacks, as they can easily pick your health apart before you reach them.

However, if your enemy starts to glow read while readying an attack, then you should instead focus on dodging. A red glow indicates a Perilous Attack, which can’t be blocked no matter how strong you are.

That’s all there is to it really. It’s far from a complicated mechanic, and while it does have its limitations, it’ll prove to be an invaluable tool in your arsenal once you get the hang of it.
