I HATE LOVE The King of Puppets | Lies of P (8) 

So when does the game become easier? Asking for a friend...

Boss dialogue translated; 'Pity we have to meet like this, though.' 'C'mon don't be silly' 'The whole place is teaming with monsters or worse. We have to stop them.' 'You have to stop them -- lives are on the line!' 'It's all going up in flames... Bright, white flames' 'The laws of the grand covenant bind us, we're his puppets.' 'I have to kill you to stop it all, there is no other way!' 'I'm burning up!' 'I'm gonna be okay, as long as I'm at your side Carlo.' 'Who is the puppet, you or me?' 'we're ending all this petrification, the real enemy is...' 'Maybe this is what freedom feels like, thank you Carlo'

King of Puppets (fake big form) has such a cool design. He is somehow both robotic and extremely expressive. Just look at that intro cutscene! I also love his tune-arms so much!

Mati, I’m a 47 year old boomer gamer so I feel your pain man. I’ve followed your journey since Er. I’m currently playing scholar of the first sin and Lies of P. I’m gonna get ‘You Died’ on my headstone! 😂 Love ya bro, keep on keeping on 😊

I can’t be the only one who hears “Pete” every time Mati calls him P, right? XD

Mati had the same reaction as me when P just smacks the kings hand away. "tf P we could have talked it out."

This boss fight is incredible. I am so impressed with this game. Imagine what they can do in the future?

Mati really just suffering for our amusement and for that i thank him

I think the cut scene at the beginning of the fight might be my favorite of all time. I hated Romeo, but I absolutely love the King of Puppets.

Mati, check out shot put. It's a theowable item. When the enemy gets the staggerable health bar, just throw a shot put at him - immediadely staggers him.

I loved that you kept the dancing to the record in the video! The records are a vibe. I put on my most recent record to play while I did my thing at hotel krat, got some good dialogue from NPC unexpectedly and the music in the BG made it so magical next level feeling!

something we never thought we'd hear Mati say... "I'm a big fan of these spiders."

Once i started to treat the second phase of this boss as a bloodborne boss it really clicked. I really do have a love/hate relationship with these bosses. 😂

I always find it interesting which bosses are harder or easier for others. This boss with my build for some reason was a breeze, but I really struggled with others. Regardless another amazing entry into this series.

I actually loved this boss. The first phase is great for parrying and staying close to him, while the second felt really easy if you just... dodge. Some parries here and there. Don't play the game like it's sekiro. I made that mistake for a little bit. Also, wish he used that dancers saber he got last episode. I'm using it and it feels really good and is great for a technique build with some motivity. Pretty good damage

Ah man, that was awesome! GG! Romeo feels like a bit of Malenia, a bit of Friede, a bit of Genichiro and a bit of Radagon all got smushed into a blender! Not to say that the boss doesn't have tons of unique personality of it's own, Lies of P really is a fantastic game! Thanks for another banger Mati! Chillest and most entertaining vids on YT 🔥😄

I somehow completely missed Adelina and the disruption cartridge, I honestly thought she was dead because of how other characters talk about her

Dude I fucking love this game. Can't wait to see what the company does next!

Yes I was looking forward to you getting to this boss and obviously the spiders lol, im just struggling on the last chapter lol😂 played this too much, just can't put it down

It took me about 17 tries but when i finally beat Romeo I absolutely DESTROYED him. Took almost no damage. I don’t usually impress myself in games like this but i have to admit it felt pretty damn good.

A crown is warranted with strength, so now P is the king of Puppets.

I never noticed his voice until going back and watching again. Its so chilling.

Mi boss favorito de todo el juego, y la cinemática, increíble, qué originalidad. Lies of P tiene su propia esencia digna de admirar, sin ser una copia de los Souls. Pd: ánimo Mati, cada vez es más difícil el juego💀

Finally caught up to you on this game so I can watch all your videos as they come out! This boss took me FOREVER the other day. Barely beat first phase in my first attempt with zero healing left only to see that menace come out after…. Absolutely heartbreaking and amazing all at once

I cannot wait to see you fight the 2nd to last boss. Let’s get it!

I like watching Let's Plays to see how other people manage parts I've already been through to see the same or different struggles or whether I'm an idiot and _here_ (I'm in the next chapter) I need to go back, it seems, for some unfinished business!

Checking the ground at the end...me exactly.😂

I think there was a safe in the room you didnt check in the Opera house, right after you fought the 2nd bi-gender usher after the Trinity room. I missed the cryptic vessel in the Opera House, it was the last one I needed so thatnks for that.

Been quietly waiting for you to reach the spider ladies 🤣

I just reached the last boss, and its the first time in a soulslike where I think I might give up, it seems impossible

That whirldwind attack when the King of Puppets swing their hands in a tornado form. You suppose to go towards it and inside the circle not outside. Basically just hug him. That's why you got him so much by it.

Always just the right timing. 🎉 This is gonna be a fun episode... like every one of them, but this one has kind of your favourite animals in it. 😅

Love the vids man!❤️ I enjoy watching in between school and work, makes my week a little less hectic. Also, that boss threw me for a loop😭

ah this game is so good! cant believe you figured out the check ground thing i had to google it was driving me crazy. Also the move that kept knocking you up into the air in the first phase you have to stand right next to him and the wind doesnt get you xD you said "dont stand close!" but thats exactly what you had to do haha

My favorite boss in the game,also a pro tip, If the bosses health barturns white you can stagger it using a shot put, I didn't know this until my third playthrough.

Watching you mald is SO funny dude you have no idea lmao. Keep up the great content man, loving the game! ✌

New Mati! Bro this boss was so tough! Finally got him on the 40th try.

Yoooo he's back with Lies of P!!, man i needed this today after a shit ton of college assignments, thanks Mati!

49:20 The calmest place of the hurricane? Center. When he began to do this hurricane thing vertically up, you just need to be close to boss:).

ñ-comentario salvaje aparece! 😆 En términos de progreso voy solo un poco por delante de ti en este video, y hasta ahora este se ha convertido en mi boss favorito. Irónicamente, tengo la sensación de que este es el boss más "souls" del juego hasta ahora, al menos porque es el primero con el que noto que rodar es lo más efectivo en lugar de bloquear (tu ultimo intento fue básicamente esto). Es muy interesante como el enfoque cambia para cada pelea. Es un diseño de combates brillante, honestamente. En fin, gran trabajo con esa pelea, Mati! 🔥 En otros asuntos, aprovecho para felicitarte y agradecerte por tu gran trabajo con los videos. No solo te mantienes siempre constante, sino que la calidad de tu trabajo siempre está mejorando (la edición, especialmente de tus últimos videos, me parece excelente! 👌). Muchas gracias por todo tu contenido. Gran trabajo, de verdad! :)

Damn that intro cutscene is a rollercoaster of fakeouts 💀

Great job on defeating the King. I know that felt good. If you think that was hard.....😫

Got past this guy recently. Could really wreck the first form but second phase was crazy. The speed, damage, and constant attack really wasn’t expected. But like any Souls game, you just get that one fight where everything clicks and what was a roadblock gets beat easier than you thought. Enjoy watching you slog through this. We are at about the same spot in the game. Looking forward to what is next! EDIT: Despite how brutal this fight was, this is my favorite boss so far. Second phase reminds me of Orphan of Kos, which my favorite from Bloodborne.

I did love the music for this boss fight...by far my favorite score ❤

I’ll never play Lies of P but watching you soldier on is a crapload o’ fun. Thanx, Mati!

definitely my favorite boss in the whole game

I love it when you fight in the old tradition way without using summon or cheese the boss with throwables. Congrat on your victory!

47:57 - in case anyone is struggling with this, you have to get close to the boss in order to avoid getting hit. The other AOE is immediately around him and has a short range, the tornado has a huge range but a safe zone immediately around the boss. Took me way too long to figure that out, but it's counterable once you know how it works. In fact, the first time Mati encountered that move in this video, he avoided it by being close.

I just realised how much more damage these bosses do in Ng+ this boss made me sick😅

This channel has been like crack, I can’t stop watching

Once you have the item that translates their language, the dialogue becomes a LOT sadder

1:30 those puppet girls reminded me of Vagrant Story. There you can see the same enemies.

Hands down my favorite boss in the game, for story and combat reasons! In my ng+ run, killing him made me sad lol. Kinda wish they gave you the option not to in ng+, but your character doesn’t know the truth yet again, so I get why you can’t. Great job, enjoying watching your playthrough!

Nice job on this boss! One of the best bosses in the game imo. Although it's pretty unintuitive, to dodge that tornado attack you kept getting caught by, you need to stand right next to him, not run away

king of the puppets is a crazy boss, personally I liked it a lot!

"I was wondering when you'd show up. you sure kept me waiting!" "Pity we have to meet like this, though." "C'mon, don't be silly." "you're wrong, listen up!" "the whole place is teeming with monsters, of course we have to stop them." "you have to stop them -- lives are on the line!" "I'm glad you came Back, Buddy." "I have to kill you to stop it all. there's no other way!" "It's all going up in flames . . . Bright, white flames." "the laws of the grand covenant bind us. we're his puppets" "I'm burning up!" "Who's the puppet? you or me?" "It's gonna be okay, as long as I'm at your side, carlo." "maybe this is what real freedom feels like. thanks, carlo . . ." Romeo seems to have some history with P here. He talks pretty casually at first, and calls you "Buddy" and stuff. That little performance before the boss suggests that Geppetto made you by taking a heart out of a real kid and placing it into a puppet body, which would explain why you're so special, why Geppetto had such a strong reaction to the picture of that kid, and why he seems so enamored with you in particular. In addition, Romeo's necklace has the initial C., and he referenced someone named Carlo in his dialogue, seemingly talking to P. Geppetto also inexplicably appeared after the boss fight for no apparent reason. In addition, we have some references that what they're doing is in accordance with the Grand Covenant and beneficial to humans. All in all, Geppetto is looking real sus in my eyes. Also also, I like the "burnt-white king" name cuz it sounds like DS2's Burnt Ivory King.

King of puppets gave him that guardian ape treatment

27:32 Yes, he got nerfed. They reduced his health quite a bit in the first face. I fought him before, but I reaally love this fight

Is this the ep where Mati finally loses it lol or is he just dancing out of joy. We shall see!

25 death, my men, amazing, just amazing. congrats! GG

Finding that cliff treasure took me forever!!! 😅

You come out with this episode the very next morning after I beat this guy? Perfect timing! Can’t wait to watch!

And i had horrible time with this boss, but Tyrant murderer's dagger was the weapon for me. Tech updated handle and "dex" almost 40 😊

Perfect timing. Just got to the area before this boss and decided to take a quick break. Looked at my phone to see a notification you uploaded this 3 hrs ago. Lol

This boss is awesome, up there with laxasia and swamp monster on the difficulty. Simon and nameless puppet is ridiculously easy tho. However for ng+ the last 3 bosses got buffed pretty hard. Last 3 bosses was pretty challenging on ng+.

IMHO, the reason this game is harder is bc bosses are 'human sized'. I always struggled with human sized bosses, which this game has more than its share

That puppet kig fight looked insane! GG!

This game is so badass Unfortunately these boss's ain't no joke I believe I'm going to set the record for deaths in this game I've died well over 100 times now lol.

The pain is real with the King of Puppets!!! I wanted to reach into the screen and decommission his ice-skating ass with my own hand.🙄 I think the DS way works better in this fight - dodge, slash, dodge, slash and dodge, slash.

The outfit is fire reminds me of bloodborne 🥰 Keep up the good work ❤

it was so sad when we understand what Romeo's dialogue are. He just happy to see P (Carlo), and try to ask for a help fighting against Manus and his zombies.

the king of puppets and the archbishop got nerfed. archbishop after you fought him, king of puppets before. the only nerf to the king was a decrease in first phase hp though

Idk if it’s my build but I found this boss pretty easy though I absolutely loved the fight in general, both phases feel incredible!

Well it’s evident he looked up the cheese strategy of always dodging to the left after taking the break lol.

I have been so excited for this episode and it did not disappoint. 👏👏👏👏 That electric mace is actually one of the weapons I tend to favor.

I struggled with this one but not because I found it hard. It was because pre-nerf phase 1 had more health and with my build it took forever to kill, which ended in me getting bored of repeting it every time, and going all in to get it done faster, losing more Cells on the process, thus having less healing for practice phase 2 😅😂

Didnt find the red lady, went back there now after progressibg the next area and she was allready dead :/ And i have an apple an all.. damn

I swear im gonna watch these at some point I just wanna play it first

I have to say, watching til now, playing at heavy (even slightly) load REALLY makes the fights more difficult, because of the slow stamina recover. He did beat the game already, I know, but could've been a little "easier" at some parts. Anyways, great gameplay, as always ^^

you can dodge the giant turbine attack by just going close to him you had it once but never did it again 33:59

King of puppets looks like the terminator and Adam Driver's love child

Dude you handled his fire scythe flurry combo like a pro your first time seeing it, well done!

Love your videos keep up the good work most people wouldn’t even show the struggle

bru posts the best vids

With Romeo if you permanently dodge left he’s so easy. Try it out if you’re reading this

Mati on the move when he spins in the first phase you need to stay underneath him! :D :D :D and also, create the shield arm, is the best for bosses!!!

I’ve been waiting for this one! So pumped. Kick some ass, Mati!

I can't help but grin and clap for you everytime you win against a boss haha

Hey Mati just my take, but anyone watching over an hour long episodes of a let’s play, really isn’t in any particular rush. no need to worry about playing the ‘new’ game to keep up with trends. Means nothing if the current way is how you enjoy playing, but I personally enjoyed your videos more when you played one series at a time rather than hopping between each video. Whilst I was keen for your AC and your lies of p playthrough, I can’t help but feel a lot of problems arose from putting down lies of p and picking up armoured core and vice versa. Plus I can’t imagine the mental agony inflicted from fighting sea spider and king of puppets back to back, you did well to keep calm haha.

Let's go another Lies of P episode!!!!!!

Wouldn't it be cool if you had the "option" of not attacking any puppets in the whole chapter and when you reach romeo, you can actually befriend him? That would a nice detail not gonna lie just like djura from Bloddborne

I have easier time fighting Romeo than many bosses because he telegraph his moves very well. His fake form has harder visual cue than himself.

love the little dance break :D

Dancin' Mati!!! :D

When the chandelier hit you I laughed 😭😭😭

@matiasgago I think you should try those new weapons 😊 Those spider robots died in 2 or 3 hits for me. Maybe update stuff? 😉

Have a good day guys

You are great!!

i died like 40 times with this boss man, even with the spectre it was hard

Throwables in this game are your friend btw...i killed most bosses like this n ecspeially for the big elite eneimes...excuse my awful spelling😂
