11 Ultimate Tips to turn Frustration into Fun in Lies of P 

The main problem with the parry timing is it isn't reactive it's predictive. After the wind up the attack comes out too fast it feels like a lot of attacks simply lack frames of animation

Adding to #11, DO NOT rely on the puppet string tier 3 for any enemies / bosses that 1: move around a lot (Romeo, Nameless Puppet, Iaxaia) or 2: have overhead attacks. What will happen most of the time is you will pull towards them, go into the air then they will move away, you will miss your landing attack and get punished. Or if they have an overhead; just get knocked down mid air.

If you need to refill fable before a boss fight or just because, visit the training grounds at Hotel Krat to instantly refill your slots

Ok that shotput tip was actually game changing i grossly underestimated consumables in this game.

Something I learned on complete accident, that I haven't heard anyone talk about, the Greatsword of the Ark. If you attack and instantly do the transform fable art, it does an attack as it transforms the weapon. One more thing to add about this game being a love letter to soulsborne games.

I've heard its an exploit but it feels pretty broken. If you hold down your legion button while Aegis is equipped, you can rapidly tap the normal block button and your aegis will auto perfect guard everything. You use up a bit of legion, but even with the thing not charged you can block rapid fire hits. Try it on the robots in the exhibition, the big ones. You'll be breaking their sawblades and drills in no time and their damage drops.

Wow, that first tip about the shot put is clutch, thank you for that!

honestly the trident carried me through the whole game, i tried switching to the circle one but the trident is so much better r2 to r1 and repeat you’ll beat any boss

one thing: capacity does not have a softcap. it goes up 3 weight every time, until 100

so cool to see you aggain here for Lies of P, great tipps! Been watching you alot back when you streamed Hearthstone when it came out ;) Thx for the content, been enjoying it a lot!

Weapon weight seems to tie into how much stagger/weapon durability enemies suffer when you perfect guard, it's pretty obvious when you're guarding with a huge weapon vs a dagger and I used the wrench perfect guards to make romeo break his weapon and stun himself repeatedly

Just adding to the #3, the second skill of Ouroboros Eye greatly increases the weapon's damage by revving. This also boosts the first fable art !

Went with a "balanced" build and used the electric club, the fire knife and the acid spear. I like when weapons have an additional status effect like the frost sword from Dark Souls 3 When an enemy is electrified, burning or acidizied, they take more damage from your same weapon that caused the debuff.

Great guide very helpful thanks 😊

When fighting a boss with 2 stages separated by a CUT SCENE you can TELEPORT back to the STARGAZER and regain all heals. The boss will also stay in its 2nd form allowing a easier boss fight. Haven’t seen anyone mention this pls upvote?

Only thing I learned was the shot put tip and WOW that is going to help so much! Thanks!

You can spin right and left while attacking with the Katana. Extremely helpful

Great tips. Amazing game ❤

i recommend the mjolnir handle which can be used for motivity builds or the acidic great curved sword, as the yboth come with the handle fable art "absolute defence" Absolutely op fable art, decent window to use it, basically a free perfect block for its like, about 1.5 section duration. Only cost 1 fable bar. Boss gonna use a flurry of attacks? Absolute defence will perfect parry every attack for the next 1.5ish seconds.

With the sword of ark just tapping heavy attack does a forward stab which is great for enemies that are charging. I would sprint toward enemies, let go of sprint and tap heavy attack to quickly engage enemies and keep distance.

Thx man,very useful video.

If interested, there are several videos on scaling in souls. Check those out. Once you have that information, you know about soft and hard caps.

came across your channel through Lies of P and have been loving your videos & guides. Subscription is out and looking forward to more video. Best regards from Germany 🤘

Adding to the respec portion of this advice; please pay attention to the HANDLES of your weapons in your play through! 1. If started your play through as a technique build but want to change to a motivity build, then you will have to switch out the handles of your weapons to match; which can also be a pain since there is a limited amount of cranks to pick up through the game. 2. Although respecing is a nice feature, I would suggest that instead of respecing, I would start a fresh game just to be more safe in terms of ergo; but, if you are a balanced build, respecing shouldn’t be a problem.

Due to how attacks and guarding work, every new "elite" or boss enemy is likely to be frustrating as you have little hope of consistently guarding, let alone doing perfect guards until you know the timing of all of their attacks and even then you are unlikely to be able to perfect guard combo attacks. Since you can't cancel out of an attack animation, combat can turn into a very slow game of waiting for a known opening to get one or two hits in, then waiting again. That is part of the reason Advance elemental application is so effective, as you are still doing damage while waiting for the attack combo to end. This is also the reason it is generally a waste of time to fight any of the big enemies that respawn as they don't have unique drops, nor do they give as much Ergo (and potential item drop) as you will get killing multiple smaller easy enemies in the same amount of time. I realize you sort of covered this before, but it isn't simple at all. Two Simple Tricks to Master Lies of P Combat! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tV-HQI_Vl9o.htmlsi=KRUOsGTKeNQBW3dJ I guess you could do the same thing for the Mad Clown Puppet for comparison as that is a particularly annoying enemy to get hits in, though ironically the fury attack is relatively "easy" to perfect guard.

I wish you could get the Perfect Guard Grindstone earlier! I struggled so hard with the early and mid game bosses, but the grindstone helped tremendously with the 3 tough bosses near the end

Best build if you can’t block or parry like me is the extra dodge and dodge without stamina amulet it’s genuinely overpowered if your calm n careful

A really early game farm is in venignini workshop. It’s only 250 ish ergo per run but it’s DIRECTLY next to a stargazer. Specifically the first one in his workshop. You walk up the stairs, into the left door down the hole and kill the puppets. Then you have the door for the farm and a couple items from the chest. I’ve got it up to 1500 ergo per minute using fulminis and the coil going R2 fulminis. My coil is leveled+2 and none of my stats other than capacity are more than 10.

Another thing that can break the groggy state is the final upgrades of most arms, like the explosion of the fire or thr tipple charge of the electricity

Started the game recently, this video really helped me to beat The King of Puppets. Thanks.

If you're against a boss that can be hard to stagger, or that you feel you lose to often because you can't make up for the damage they output, go for the attack link on the puppet string, using it gets you fully out of the way of their next attack and always slightly staggers them and deals a lot of stagger damage, works for basically anyone, most humans if they can't be grabbed and pulled with the normal string might dodge but when it works it pays off. Larger enemies usually won't be able to dodge it so on elite enemies and bosses like swamp monster it's very useful, even more so than any other legion arm i've found.

The weight structure of this game is ridiculous. Pick up a tissue and you're heavy.

My fav weapons are the Bone cutting sawblade with dancers blade and the live puppet greatsword with krat police handle. The krat handle is good for tight spaces as I find the dancers blade hits right to left so it gets caught on stuff

No reason to go to grand exhibition statue to respec. Can just do it at the Gold Coin Tree

The summon you can use fights with the boss weapon they can give so you can see it in action that way

Great tips. I missed that vendor somehow.

Uroboro the overall best weapon for me. Love the straight heavy atk and avoiding hitting all my surroundings haha

7:15 increasing pulse cell recovery isn’t for keeping up with the hp you’re getting since the pulse cells heal you based on the percentage of your health, so if you heal half your health bar with one, that’ll be 200hp if you have 400hp, and 300hp if you have 600hp

Thanks

have you found any solution for the rusted stargaizer " in pilgrim path" ?

There’s also a p-organ upgrade which makes the shops cheaper.

A thing i found later than i should have is if you arnt able to get to the statue room to reset level you can interact with the gold coin tree to do the same thing

For me the real fun began with ng+1 the feeling when easily parry or dodge every boss action which was a pain in the ass before thats it -:D

For easy mode use the straight sawblade with the master chef's knife handle; much less stamina consumption than the dancer handle and it attacks faster too, bit less scaling but if you are going only for technique it doesnt really matter.

I had read that, in order to unlock the next phase P-Organ nodes, I would have to unlock two nodes from the current phase. I noticed you only unlocked one phase 3 node (the Pulse Cell enhancer). So, did you reset your P-Organ, using the Saintess statue, after unlocking phase 4?

Finally done it, im sure your strategy does work, but i found if i could survive long enough to get him to 1 third health. I can then use 3 cells to fin8sh him off😊

so my character is constantly heavy. unequipping items does nothing. it literally doesnt change my weight at all even if i unequip everything?

I'm like level 200 at least and aim to max out my character. Advance seems to be a more useful stat than I first realised as it adds to resistances

It's funny how i can parry lady butterfly's multiple complex fast attacks in Sekiro, but i have a hard time dealing with this games delayed attacks that drag on before they land, and they land FAST.

I love how you say AD-VAHNSSS? 🤣🤣

I changed nothing from one death into the next restart fighting Archbishop last night and I went from 78% slightly heavy to 81% heavy. Did nothing, literally died and spawned. How ?

Bri ty 😁

Was struggling to land heavy on staggered opponent. Used the shot put balls once and beat him

Throwing stuff for the win.

Do all amulets go to +2 ? Finished my 3rd playthrough and all are still +1

OHH THATS HOW THE BALL THING WORK!

Can you do a video on how to beat nameless i didnt beat him on my 1st run and im trying to do it on my ng+

I dont know if its a glitch or something, but I could do the reset of P Organs and stuff, at the Golden tree. From the second i found it. So way before the game showed me this statue.

I love Lies Of Pie

Easy mode would be using summons (specters) I know you can’t for every boss but the majority you can. I was on ng+++ and figured I’d finally use one bc why not.

I love the dragons sword but your stamina takes heavy depletion after 2-3 attacks

Im on my first play through and just beat the champion dude by the respec statue. I got his ergo but the guy you give it to for a weapon is gone now? So where do you have to bring it?

Game is kind of easy so far with a Motivity build, I ran through Bosses on my second playthrough, whereas in Sekiro I could only get past Owl after a week of attempts. Big Wrench head and Police Baton Handle with charged heavy attacks can carry you through the entire game.

You can reset level at the money tree too.

Where do you get the perfect party guard?

does changing my handles scaling to max advance allow me to use any handle with an elemental tip??

Beating the game with only 9 motility and 9 technique is crazy

Arm of God Amulet goes insane on a fast weapon. Booster Glaive + Police Baton handle has carried me through the game.

You can also respec directly at the gold tree. Just give it a moment at no coins and if there’s a coin, collect, wait a moment then the menu will pop up. Reset p-organ stats all that jazz

You could also do that at the golden coin fruit tree

Where do you get the perfection grindstone??? Im at the final boss and havent found it.

This Vendor is making a fortune on my Ergo, till the moment i found this Vendor i was like: Random Bullshit go XD

You can respec at the golden coin tree

Does the game get harder after NG+?

57 shotput? Fantastic

NG6 and 4 characters approved 👍

Yo I just found out you can jump while running, this game is wild

This all good but I stuck on first boss😢 Funny thing I beat Bloodborne and dlc but somehow this game is harder for me or I just got older 😂

I don't have Lowers Fury Damage on my Survival Types

This is my first time playing a game like this I never had the confidence to play dark souls or any of the games like it because I'm a casual story mode kind of gamer and for some reason this game has me really excited and I was the idiot who thought this game wouldn't be anything like dark souls or those games I don't know why I just thought it'd be like a borderlands or far cry style game don't ask why I had that thought just what I was thinking so of course I had to get it.... And just as I feared I am terrible at it I made a tracker for each boss and 8 times for the first boss 23 times for mad donkey and 5 times for scrapped watchmen and I couldn't keep count to how many times I died to just regular enemies and I'm on the first part of phase 3 haven't even fought the first boss yet... But I'm so mad at this game because it's impossible for me, I highly recommend playing it because deep down I am having fun and I think people will love this game but I just can't play these games im just terrible at it

Wait, the archbishop has a laser beam attack? I just platinumed the game and never saw that attack from him

I'm doing so much wrong lol, stuck at the act 4 boss, giving up for now xD.

You can respec at the tree. No reason to travel all the way to the statue

How can I find perfection grind stone ?

That’s cool but why did you get the bad ending?

And farm Argo. I just got to chapter V and I’m level 93. Get that hp up to 35 asap

My issue is the summon on the archaeologist boss he just walks away and stands there doing nothing the amount of times I’ve died because he’s useless one more hit but just doesn’t do anything 🤦🏻🤣😂

Games still f..ked can't get past green monster phase 2 its insanity. Pretty sure before the update I had 94 star fragments now I have half of that?

I have now died of laxasia over 100 times after 3 days (mostly in the 2nd phase) I don't have the strongest weapon (starting weapon +10) on strength. And I'm not even remotely broken. I know it's my fault if I get too greedy or something else happens. After all this shit, I'm even more motivated to beat her ass today.

Why do people keep recommending the Saintess statue when you can actually respec your points way before that at the gold coin tree right after the black rabbit brotherhood boss fight

Like the video cant believe you called a chakram a lil stupid weapon doe they are real

Im really bad at these types od games and the puppet ripper carried me hard. The last boss was a cake walk.

Just learn parry from two dragon sword, i did all achivements with this

Games like this need a tutorial like feature where you can go in and practice your perfect guard until your confident enough to start the game. I wanna play this game so bad but I’m honestly a shitty player.

The Malum District Vendor is the best merchant in the game. Beat the shit out of Nameless Puppet thanks for Shot Put and Carcass Pots

The soft cap for Advanced is 50

Why not just respec at the tree? It's where you get the items for respec and you don't have to fast travel anywhere. I still don't understand why the statue even exists when the tree has better ease of use

I'm starting to believe people don't know they can use the golden tree to re-spec WAY earlier than getting to the statue. Just talk twice to the tree.

I'm on NG+++ now and lv 250, regarding the softcaps, yeah they give less still on that level I need to go higher. I made all important stats 60. no idea if a waste, but what else to put them in then?

Can I change the arm while I am in combat?
