Three pages answer most questions
If you are stuck, it is almost always one of these: the boss order, the combat basics, or the weapon you should be carrying.
Parry Timing and Sha-Chi
The three systems everything else builds on, explained without story spoilers.
Best early game weapons
What to carry before the first upgrade wall, where it comes from, and what to leave behind.

How this site works
TODOs are labelled, not hidden
Every guide is live, but unverified numbers are still marked TODO in the text. We would rather show a gap than a confident guess about a boss route or a damage number.
Why Parryline
Built for people who read first
Tested, then written
Routes and numbers come from our own runs on the current build, not from a patch-note summary.
No invented values
If we cannot confirm a location or a stat, the page shows a TODO instead of a plausible-looking number.
Corrections get tested
Send a screenshot and we re-run the section before changing the page. The update date always moves.
