Lies of P - King of Puppets Boss Guide

[@bassistheplace246]

This boss was so easy! Only took me 8 hours and 70+ attempts!

[@jacobsnipes6244]

Woahh so easy! This boss didn’t need 2 phases, his second phase is just too fast and does so much damage

Lol. That was me with Fuoco

[@RobertoRuiz08]

Literally me

[@bassistheplace246]

@@jacobsnipes6244 fr tho, a good chunk of his second phase attacks (minus the fire flurry and sickle pull) are decently telegraphed and can be easily parried. It’s just the margin of error is so slim and his damage is way too high for how fast he is and how strict the deflect timing is in this game. I do agree Romeo would’ve served better as a halfway point than a surprise second phase (a la archbishop and Malenia)

This took me nearly 10 hours to solo. For reference, my second hardest boss was Malenia and took about 6 hours, third is Ishin that took 5 hours. Puppet King is on another level. If people saw my reaction after beating him, they would legit think I won the lottery.

[@gozololuzbacio2394]

Honestly this was on 5 tries for me. But for example on Ishin maybe I spent 7 hours. And on Midir from DS3 same or more. I did this quickly but maybe spend 3-4 hours on both the second electric boss and on the archbishop one. Those were hell

[@paulx3274]

After nearly first trying him (he managed to hit me through my charged R2 just as we were both about to die).. I've now died 5 times lol I love farming to get cells and pipes for him. But it's worth it until phase 2 when he reads all your moves lol

[@PrecariousHusk]

For anyone struggling with the 2 attacks that were not included in this video: Air pop attack in first encounter: When he starts winding up rush in and smack him a bunch of times which will stun him and stop him from completing the attack. Flame sword barrage in second encounter: Stay to his left and when he rushes you dodge towards him. He will end up going past you, flail around a couple times, and then he'll course correct back at you which you would again (being on his left) dodge towards him. Rinse and repeat. Once he does this a handful of times he will go back to his regular douchebaggery.

[@Cozychris4]

That fire attack deleted me like 6 times in a row cause i was trying to parry it. Once i decided to start dodging it i beat him first try.

[@PrecariousHusk]

Right on @@Ben-ry1py, glad it helped :)

[@mattyboi070707]

For me this game is genuinely the hardest of it’s kind. I can’t help but feel that is more because of it’s mechanics rather than the fights just being tough. Don’t get me wrong, I love it, it’s the best non fromsoft souls like out there, but a little tweak to the deflect timing window and a few tiny fixes would make it just as rewarding and challenging, but far less frustrating. Excellent guide!

[@francescostabile3560]

It's true. I feel the same. You have to already know what the enemy is about to do as attack, it is not a metter of reflex (like for Sekiro) but a metter of precisely learning patterns and timing of each single attack. They reminds me Data Battle from Kingdom Hearts series, but with a way smaller allowed failing-window for the player.

[@fraserhawkins4462]

I mean, it would make it significantly less challenging.

[@KizWhalifa.]

Sekiro was satisfying once mastered, this game just feels like I got lucky

[@slicksilver9441]

I feel the same about the parry timing. I wish it was like sekiros parry. For whatever reason some times I'll perfect parry but the next time it won't and I'm parrying at the same times....its off putting

For Romeo I had a much better time dodging to the left (into his weapon). With the right timing it should be doable. Worked for me but I’ve always been better at dodging than blocking

[@marclouisagulay7966]

Beat him too by dodging. I could parry at Sekiro. Dont know why I was having a hard time parrying Romeos attacks

Same...the thing is..I am playing using the rapier weapon. Which makes it much more punishing when I don't perfect guard. The health I lose is insane compared to what I see here in this video. Also the rapier allows me to get like 4/5 hits in per dodge. And when he staggers a little...i unleash my fable art on him as well. P.S....i just finished this boss a couple minutes ago. The adrenaline is still pumping lol..

[@wojciechburakowski4164]

@@UberNiall You didn't play Sekiro, did you?

[@ArrowheadDust]

I feel like after this fight I became a guard master cause the amount of perfects you need to break his weapon and keep stunning him was nuts. Also that flame dance is deadly, what I did was use my fable when he's applying the fire which can interupt it but after that you really have to guard like hell and pray you make it through. This video was so helpful and I'm SOOOO glad I finally beat him. Good luck to everyone and try not to give up. YA GOT THIS.

[@thatboi3605]

I can get Romeo to half health, but that fire attack is way too long Edit: I just beat him, and turns out it is easier to tap dodge the attack than to try and parry.

[@brandonowilliams]

you can easily beat him with throwables if you don’t want to memorize his move set. Just go to the vender in the lobster shack and buy a bunch of throwables heal your specter for second phase and throw stuff at him he will die easily this way.

Dude great video as always! Idk what it is about “guard guard…. Guard annnnd guard” but when I hear that in my head I start winning 😂 keep it up man, your insight is actually helpful. Unlike the other videos that always say “spam consumables and summon specters then run away throwing fire while your meat shield takes the damage” lol

[@ethsailliamswa]

Feeling pretty good about the first phase. Figuring out the parry timings for phase two should get me the dub. Ive gotten the fire attack twice. first time it murdered me, second time I actually dodged the whole thing but didnt have enough health to finish him off.

[@cindygrape]

I absolutely loved this fight!! It might be my favorite fromsoft type fight since Maria! Even though it took me quite many tries (I wish there was an in game death counter for bosses), it's so satisfying to finally figure him out and beat him after a beautiful dance

[@darrenthedude7283]

Also in the first phase he can do that wind attack from above which is impossible to avoid if he starts doing the animation when you are close, this fight is brutal!!!

[@BorisByk]

I believe that one, wind from above, can be canceled if you attack him many times during the wind-up

[@thboywndr]

Super late but that wind attack can be completely avoided if you just run under his legs. You can get a couple swings in too.

[@ETY20]

For me, the toughest thing about this game in general is that it seems like every enemy attack knocks you back, so you're constantly out of range. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but it feels like 90% of the difficulty is that I'm never close enough to to attack after guarding.

[@andreeam.1888]

Somehow whenever I played Lies of P, Romeo did that bullshit fire charge attack frenzy at least two times 🥲

[@varshard0]

FYI, his 1st phase red attack has a safe spot behind him. His arms won't reach you and you are free to beat his ass, however reaching his rear isn't easy.

[@kajutokirrito358]

This is the only boss fight I don't mind using star fragment for. The first and second boss are perfect. But as separate bosses. I literally don't see why they put these two amazing bosses together making the experience such a devastating one. It'd been so incredibly fun to fight them as two separate individuals aghh. And that's only my one criticism about lies of p. And a pretty big one actually. They know how to make incredible bosses. But they mesh them together acting as a second phase. And it literally happens in ALMOST ALL THE BOSSES. AGHHH Mastered the first phase. Just used one of my 30 fragments and beat the boss first try. It's such a shame how i wasn't able to properly experience the second phase because of the meaty meaty first phase. But i killed them so who tf cares

[@Pratik.C.Ray88]

This is awesome. I kept getting caught with the move at 7:46 where he knocks you into the air. I keep getting him to 25% but couldn't figure out a counter to that move or when to hit the perfect guard. I'm just dodging to the left when I see his staff hit the ground.

[@Chaloop688]

This dude makes everything look easy im ass at this game!

[@kyletrout3828]

My main complaint is how fast the 2nd phase is and how hard he hits. Dude idk how many attempts ended in the first 30 secs of the 2nd phase because im trying to learn parry timings. I really hope this boss was kind of a mulligan and they tighten up for later ones.

[@DSJWIX]

Absolutely love the music in this boss fight.

[@Lusius8879]

as a dex player; first face has SO many spots to add in a quick extra smack with quick-hitting weapons. I personally use the dancer's curved sword for it. most of the attacks in the first half of the first phase can allow you to get a quick light attack in, with the 2nd spin allowing the charged attack. Also his AI seems to be baitable for the spin. He sometimes does a 2nd spin and sometimes does a twirl backwards. whichever he chooses, seems to be based on your positioning compared to him. stay at a small distance straight in front of him after the first spin, to guarantee a 2nd spin attack. The small distance is the key here. Also for dex players specifically: the gun arm works wonders in this first phase. I've got this first phase down to a point where, unless I get dicked by my own greed or the AI going sudden hyper-active-offense mode, I can do it basically hitless. unfortunately, the reason I came here... never happend (the buff state in 2nd half of 2nd phase).

[@cradleoffilth691]

If you are having trouble perfect guarding dash to his left he almost always misses you just don't double dash cause your out of range when he has an opening after his chain of swings kind a tough to train yourself not to double dash especially when you panic dash

I'm really upset that he didn't do the fire sword dancing moves with you. That part kills me EVERY time, and it would've been great to see how you handle the fire sword dance attack. I also cannot successfully do the second phase perfect gaurds to break his weapon. I've been trying to kill this boss SOLO for 3 days. I guess I need to wait for the Xbox patch to drop that nerfs him and try again. I've beaten Sekiro, Bloodborne, Elden Ring, Demon's Souls and Dark Souls 1,2,3 and I cannot understand why the King of Puppets is so hard for me. 😫 And yes, I already know I need to git gud, LOL!

He dashed at me to attack while I had one heal left. Just barely missed me, which would've killed me. And i was able to charge an R2 with bone cutting saw blade and stagger him. Then finish him with a crit 🤙🏽

I strongly recommend using blitz for this fight.The damage difference is astronomical.İf you apply blitz it takes less than a minute to finish the first phase. Also dont really recommend trying to parry all attacks in the second phase like this guy does cause if you fuck the timing which you will till you get used to his moveset, just play like bloodborne dodge hit once or twice much easier and quicker this way.

Im struggling so much with this boss phase one no problem phase two DYING but il get him so close! But no pulse cells left at that point and one hit is fatal. Doing motivity build as well and i just want my weapons to be FASTER hes so fast its ridiculous

[@ryancollinsvideo]

Cant believe they swapped solid snake with raiden

[@TheAirforce200]

Felt like the lighting effect is easy to apply in first phase maybe try that

[@McFadyxn]

How do you have 7 heals at this point?

[@xxflaxxdread]

Same thing I said, I only have five

[@-Cybin]

Why would you put fire on against puppets? They're vulnerable against electro damage. Fire is good against humans like stalker

[@olimphus26]

you had amazing RNG for the second phase

[@pimp_floyd5024]

You sir are a legend. Literally the first attempt after watching this video I destroyed this boss like he was nothing. Pro tip: when that massive combo comes in phase two, throw a shot put at him as he’s putting fire on the blade, it full staggers him out of it completely.

I find it hard to read when enemies are going to strike, that’s one thing fromsoft did well
