168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Lies of P wears its inspirations on its sleeves and has proved itself to be the gold standard of indie Soulslikes. The game certainly doesn't disappoint in the extremely tough boss battle department and is identical to a FromSoftware title in every way, shape, and form. Who knew all it would take to get a new outstanding 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Bloodborne-esque experience ⛎was ꦐa little inspiration from Pinocchio?
This game is a loose adaptation of Carlo Collodi's The Adventures of Pinocchio, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:set in the dysಌtopian plague-ridden city of Krat where puppets and mutated monsters have become corrupted and dangerous. While lying away as Pinocchio, you'll also be facing these seemingly impossible and daunting foes.
10 🅰 All The Mini Bosses Around ⛦Krat
Developer Neo🍨wiz did a great job with all the bosses in this game, the variety of mini ones included. Their designs and attacks always feel original, and they prove every bit as tough as the more giant main bosses when it comes to defeating them. It may even take you a couple of tries in the starting area to finally obtain the key from the heavy Police boss and exit the Krat Central Station.
Then you have the industrial mini boss types around the Venigni Works Factory, like the dual-shield slammer and the shovel-wielding furnace one. The more human Stalker ones, like The White Lady, Survivor, and of course 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the mandatory Mad Donkey to rescue Geppetto, demonstrate more intense swordplay. There's also the Mad Clown Puppet on Rosa Isabelle Street that looks like Spawn's Violator and Pennywise had a baby.
9 🐠 Scrapped Watchman
While the Scrapped Watchman may be the second giant boss you face outside Krat City Hall, he's not the hardest per se. His attacks are better for guard deflection, as you can predict the pattern of his arm swings followed up with a slam and then a red double slam to better time the parry. The movements are a tad slower than most others you'll encounter as well, though not as slow and easy as Puppet of the Future.
Where things will get a little bit more challenging is toward the middle of the fight, when the mustached puppet enters phase two and electricity comes into play. Scrapped Watchman will have the same attack patterns, but now leaves patches of electricity that can sho🐲ck you. His red Fury attack n🌟ow also creates a field of lightning, but the perimeter gives you enough room to dash away.
8 ꧑ Parade Master
Parade Master is placed ahead of Scrapped Watchman primarily because it's the first major boss fight in the game when you're still trying to master the Perfect Guard mechanic. This boss is no walk in the park due to his incredibly erratic movements in the second phase, especially if Lies of P is your first Soulslike game. And you have to get through him to get to the main hub of Hotel Krat.
Both phases at least happen under one health bar rather than splitting up into two full phases, but it's a challenge. He'll be bellyflopping, shoving, digging, and swinging his claw arm at you. Sometimes the timing of the guard can get a bit tricky, and you'll rely on dodging. The other half of the fight entails him removing his mop-head top part to use as a club, and rapidly swinging it around, in addition to heavy smash attacks.
7 King's Flame, Fuoco
King's Flame Fuoco brings on the heat in Lies of P, literally and figuratively. It's a giant mechanical doll that spews and shoots flames with a built-in furnace and fireball cannon and uses a fist to slam and take wide swings at you. There are some upsides to this fight that don't make it seem totally impossible to defeat.
One trick is to use the rusty metal pipes around the room as cover from fire attacks, be it fireballs or when the floor catches on fire from the furnace. You'll also have plenty of opportunities to attack in between its moves, especially getting a good amount of hits in from the back. But there'll be a lot more dodging than attempting to Perfect Guard its attacks.
6 Fallen Archbish🅷op Andreus
Fallen Archbishop Andreus is the first main boss who's not a doll, but a giant mutated beast fallen victim to the Petrification Disease. Located in the St. Frangelico Cathedral, Krat's Archbishop is quite a grotesque battle. The boss design is straight out of Bloodborne and Elden Ring and comes in two separate phases.
The Archbishop hides inside the shell of this beetle-tarantula-lizard-like creature, so you're dealing with guarding against its long blue tongue, claw swings, and Fury body slams. The first phase isn't too bad to deflect and get the beast staggered. It's when Andreus comes out with his winged centipede body that things get unbelievably tough, as you're fighting the front and back sides of the boss and now occasionally getting blasted by an Ergo beam.
5 ಞ ꦜ Simon Manus, Arm Of God And Awakened God
The main antagonist and 'final boss' of Lies of P is Simon Manus, an alchemist with the makings of a Resident Evil villain who uses Ergo and the Petrification disease as a way of advancing humanity's evolution. His Ergo overdose gives him this mutated final form that looks like a more massive Rat King and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:William Birkin G♏2 boss from Resident Evil 2 put together.
Manus' boss has a giant Ergo-powered mallet that has a wide swipe path, which can be dodged or guarded, but the jump smash could be a bit harder to avoid. The second form shows there's a conjoined blue spirit that emerges from a cocoon and is touched by a set of arms from above. There are more magic elements used against you, the movements are much faster, and there's the giant hand generating debris storms by touching the ground. Believe it or not, this is still more manageable than some of the other battles.
4 All Of The Black Rabbit Brotherhood 🔯
If you barely made it out of the early game boss fight with the Eldest of the Black Rabbit Brotherhood, you're in for a longer and more intense challenge when you have to fight all three younger members at once, and then additionally the Eldest once again right after. The Battle Maniac, Youngest, and Eccentric of the Brotherhood now have full individual boss health bars on-screen and are not just background enemies.
The fight takes place in quite a close-quarters area, and each of these members are relentless and rapid-fire🀅 with their attacks, especially the speedy Battle Maniac and the Eccentric, who has a spear staff t🧜hat does heavy blows and a drill Fury attack. The Eldest is alone this time as the final part, but even more aggressive due to his Ergo corruption.
3 𒁃 Romeo, King Of Puppets
King of Puppets is the most narrative-focused boss of the game, as this character has a very important connection to Pinocchio's story. It starts with a cutscene in the Opera House putting on a marionette play of Geppetto taking P's heart and inserting it into a new puppet, a sort of foreshadowing of the ending. Then, the real struggle begins.
The puppet form is the most massive yet and has two giant bendy tubular arms with two extra supporting mechanical pairs. The flexible ones are quite scary because they ಞcan anchor and launch the boss like Doc Ock in your direction and extend the swing attacks significantly, not to mention the wind current trap from their swirls.
When Romeo exits the mech suit, it🐻 manages to get even more chaotic and unpredictable. Romeo can dash like the Flash and create fire from his scythe, and his maneuvers are just super🌼 speedy and put you in the danger zone for guarding and dodging.
2 💧 Green Monster Of The Swamp 𝕴
This boss fight may bring flashbacks 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:of the Blazing Bull fight in Sekiro, except it's a main boss and there are two phases, with the health bar being much larger than the Bull's. It's also one of the most unique boss concepts in the game, a Petrification-mutated Swamp Thing with sharp beetle-like antennae that can fuse with dolls to make a memorable and punishing second-phase fight.
The first phase attacks will include the monster body-slamming you, throwing and flailing its antennae at you, and even burrowing underground in the small space to jump out right from under you. Its Frenzy charge attack inflicts massive damage but sometimes does give you enough time to Perfect Guard, though. Its Pup𓃲pet-Devouring Green Monster form is like the Scrapped Watchman on Ergo-derived steroids and will just make you want to run.
1 ༺ Laxasia The Complete
Laxasia is Simon Manus' right hand and an even tougher boss than him. You can definitely consider her Lies of P's cross between Malenia and Knight Artorias, coming equipped with heavy knight armor and wielding a massive sword and shield. This fight comes in two phases and both are equally as grueling to get through.
The weight of the sword makes no difference to Laxasia. She's able to gracefully swing and create a frenzy of sword attacks that you want to avoid entirely. She also kicks, charges the sword with electrical current to drag a wave of electricity on the ground, and generates a bigger shockwave of it. In phase two, now out of the costume, Laxasia becomes an electrical current Eikon, teleporting, using her shield, and sticking to the air to shoot bursts of electrical shocks at you, which can be deflected.
