Lies of P - Fallen Archbishop Andreus Boss Fight (No Damage)

[@thephoenix8892]

First phase of this fight ended and I was thinking this boss was pretty easy for a mainline boss. Second phase humbled me real quick

[@XOXOcel]

Right xD

[@scylla8270]

I was suspicious after beating the first phase and was thinking this is too easy there’s no way that was it lol

The second phase has really bad tracking issues when this thing starts going nuts so does the camera I can't block what I can't see

[@XOXOcel]

@@lizardpeople Yeah it was annoying, it either tracked the front or back of the boss, usually I went for the back with less chance of it flipping and tossing me over...

Despite the reviews, I think the combat system is actually really nice.

[@menaceiwill1]

​@@repstylegaming9730wait reviews said the combat was a let down? If so that's crazy with the assemble weapon system, you can create and make a weapon that is unique.

[@lehiergendwo8291]

@@menaceiwill1 A lot of people love using heavy weapons, and the lack of poise in this game can make it quite unsatisfying to use them. On top of that, without the recovery roll, you can get 100-0ed really easy by some enemies, and lack of control about what is happening to you feels really bad and clunky. But those are the only real critique points I have about the game's combat, aside from that it's really fun and good.

[@menaceiwill1]

@@lehiergendwo8291 arr I see. Yeah I get that, but I am using a strength build, but focusing on parry timing as it does alot of stagger damage. There is a handle that gives you poise, but can't remember what's it called. Anyways totally understandable, I've got a very heavy stagger and fatal damage build. It is mad fun.

[@santiagofigueroa5340]

Am I the only one that would’ve liked for them to widen the parry window? Especially because this game gives you many ways to evade/take dmg, usually games stick to one of these, but it almost feels better to just dodge instead of parrying, even tho the parry can interrupt/break the enemy’s weapons. It just doesn’t feel good imo

[@Not_Harvard]

Perfect parry allows you to crit faster. Game gives you options, I think they wanted to keep it a small window for players that want to test themselves. There's easier ways to play if you don't want to struggle as much.

[@divinefemale]

It’s all people have been talking ab so u are DEFINITELY not the only one… lol

[@samtomen926]

The crit window in this guy in particular’s attacks are like fucking ludicrously small I get wrecked by just about everything

[@maxton-_-4243]

Don’t know what you’re talking about, dodging sucks and is completely useless with how slow it is and how slow stamina recharges and feels like the i frames on the dodge are even slimmer than the parry window

[@DavidFregoli]

I don't mind the parry window but I wish it was more useful to parry, most of the time after parrying you get pushed out of range and you can't deal damage

[@eligreg99]

This is one of those fights where I was thankful there was a summon. There’s literally way too much going on in the second phase. This boss becomes ultra aggressive especially it’s back side

[@Spongeboobie]

I feel like once you get a grasp on the main idea, and movesets/windups it all boils down to aggressiveness. I think a lot of people screw up by being either too aggressive or not aggressive enough. IMO these bosses aren't at all like souls bosses where sometimes shit you couldn't account for just happens. These are a lot less complicated, yet challenging. One thing that helped me a shit-load was spending a lot of time during the demo mastering that perfect guard, obviously each enemy is different but having a confident feel for it certainly helps I believe.

[@davewindburn]

The second phase becomes much easier once you get used to its move set in the first phase. It’s pointless to fight archbishop himself, he’s very hard to be hit and his moves are nasty. Just fight his butt instead.

[@N0PH0B14]

Ironically, this was the first boss I decided to challenge myself and try to beat without a Specter. And I still got through it faster than Fueco...

This boss is truly a nightmare. I hate it when video games try to make something too scary but this did it perfectly. It was unexpected and something brewed straight from hell.

[@StretchDude]

On my second playthrough, I realized the reason his first phase's head is upside down is so it can gaze up at the "angel" head, symbolizing Andreus's arrogance and messiah complex. Hell of a design.

[@koz.b1741]

I respect that. great play indeed. as a rookie on souls games, these camera angels makes it imposible to guard on time..

[@richards3237]

Been fighting this boss for about an hr or so, ive gotten to point where im perfect guarding every attack all the way up until hes about 1/3 health left of the 2nd phase. He keeps one shotting me with that dumb charge up ability and then if i go under to avoid the charge beam the centipede part will slam the ground and one shot me even tho ive tried rolling,dodging,blocking, and guarding so i wanted to see how other people avoide and i gotta say i didnt even think you could run the side of him like that to avoid both attacks, so im definitely trying that

Then upgrade fable attack in p organ, equip fire grindstone use the fable attack for the handle then hold the fable art until the boss comes at you, u can remove half his health easily. also use flamberge and overheat him u wont even struggle to kill him no matter how bad you are. commenting everywhere to help people

[@ROXcursed]

I don't understand how you avoided the blue laser attack at the 50% hp mark in phase 2. The only way I found to reliably mitigate it is to sprint as far away as possible. If I didn't have full stamina when he started to charge it, it's guaranteed death.

[@Esoterickk]

Just need to strafe to the left and away from the boss a little bit, avoids it every time

[@ScrodumHat]

you can sit under him to avoid the laser, and then run to that side to avoid the slam down

[@RyptCripper]

I was just going in and praying for a stagger when it did that because I also couldn't find the safe spot. Thankfully it worked, that's how I finally killed him

[@Davsand14]

Now I can see why I struggled so much with every boss, I'm fighting 100% parry, no dash, no elemental damage 😅

[@dylandempsey2858]

No dash are you special?

[@10devongard]

​@@dylandempsey2858I was told this game was parry heavy and that dash had no I frames so I just started using parry. Big mistake apparently

[@RyptCripper]

Seems like a nice mix is the best option, though I still end up dodging over parrying 90% of the time. Not quite souls, not quite sekiro. I think the block/health regen system makes a nice safety net for parrying though

Stats dont matter that much, its because boss is weak to fire

[@Stophocles]

I feel I would be enjoying this game so much more either if the perfect guard window was bigger, or if it didnt feel like every attack had a deliberatelu unintuitive rhythm. The two together, along with weak dodging and no cancel attack makes for a mostlybaggravating experience.

Its not about upgrading your dodge i noticed that dodge is kinda like a perfect parry where in you need to dodge at the perfect moment in order to not take damage unless you dodge far out of an enemies range you need to time the dodge perfectly and you’ll never get hit even if the enemy is right on you

@@Opaali yeah it will scale with your motivity and the final upgrade gives it a huge dmg boost. Dagger blade is viable through to the end, just need the right handle for the job.
