Scale Mount Yotei Shrine for the vital Parry Charm. You'll need expert timing for shrine puzzles, mastery of climb routes, and have to make tough exploration choices for maximum reward. Collecting this charm is essential for players focusing on parry-based combat and survivability.

Parry Charm location and reaching the summit

Mount Yotei Shrine is in the eastern Yotei Grasslands region. To begin, head to the marked shrine trailhead. The shrine is well-known for its sequence of climbing puzzles, vertical cliffs, and grapple hook sections. Completing this will yield both Mother's and Father's Charms—but for parry bonuses, you specifically want Father's Charm.

How to get Parry Charm step-by-step

Head into the shrine area with preparation, as you’ll deal with both parkour and combat. The process is as follows:

Step 1

Travel to the Yotei Grasslands, a vast open area surrounding Mount Yotei. Search for the trailhead at the mountain’s base—it serves as your starting point for the climb, marked by wooden signs and climbing gear stations.

Step 2

Begin your ascent up Mount Yotei, using climbing holds and grapple points to scale steep cliffs. Stay alert for shifting rocks, falling debris, and sudden weather changes, which can create dangerous environmental hazards along your route.

Step 3

Midway through the climb, you’ll experience memory echoes involving Atsu’s parents. Interact with these spectral moments to uncover fragments of family history, emotional backstory, and subtle hints that guide your path upward.

Step 4

Keep ascending the mountain by carefully solving each climbing, jumping, and grappling puzzle. Use patience and timing to navigate unstable surfaces and long gaps—this stage tests endurance, precision, and your mastery of traversal mechanics.

Step 5

Upon reaching the summit shrine, perform the ritual to obtain both Mother’s and Father’s Charms. With Father’s Charm, you gain the ability to heal upon perfect parries, enhancing your combat survivability in future battles.

Tips for exploration and best use

  • Do not immediately use the shortcut rope from the peak; explore further for a potential Altar of Reflection and other secrets.
  • Father’s Charm stacks healing with other parry-related charms if equipped together, offering powerful sustain for defensive playstyles.
  • If struggling with perfect parry timing, consider also seeking out the Charm of Futsunushi at the Faithful Leap Shrine in Tokachi Range, which widens the parry window.

Yotei Grasslands offers worthwhile rewards for explorers

Multiple shrines and side puzzles in the Yotei Grasslands provide unique combat benefits—from ranged advantages to special parry and dodge windows. For a complete defensive build, collect the Father’s Charm with the companion defensive and healing charms of the region.

Unlocking and using the Parry (Father’s) Charm isn’t just about getting a rare item—it transforms defensive play. If you love the parry-dodge combat loop, climb Mount Yotei Shrine early to master the game’s toughest fights with confidence.
