The WORST BOSS...was my favorite?! MAX PLAYS: Lies of P - Part 7

[@TommasoFirmini]

Lies of P and Neowiz deserve every bit of love and praise. Its an amazing game with care and soul poured into it, and i honestly cant wait to see what they do next with it, be it DLC or a sequel

[@johndodo2062]

Definitely. This game beats bloodborne for me and that was my number 1 for 7 years

Been looking forward to this. The swamp monster is pretty much where this game gets tough, and it's a gauntlet of challenging fun fights from here on out. Love Lies of P

[@cyrushalberd624]

I was under the impression Andreas was the point where many people needed to start getting serious. Then again, different fights will be more difficult for different people.

[@flissflossgaming]

@stevenluoma1268 I think I still got him within 10 or so tries, but I just felt like this was where the game started to ramp things up. I think prior to this the hardest fights were BRB and Puppet King, and neither one felt like more than a speedbump compared to swamp monster. And then the final 3 bosses are legit walls that you really need to learn the fights to get through. Just my opinion though, you may have had a different experience

[@flissflossgaming]

@cyrushalberd624 Andreas wasn't a slouch I don't think, but I feel like swamp monster is where the game goes from a light to moderate challenge. And then the last 3 bosses are legit difficult

[@Ted95On]

@stevenluoma1268I beat it in around 30 mins and it was mostly perfect parries. The moveset of the first phase isn’t that diverse and the second phase has a lot of similar moves to the 2nd boss

Is honestly incredibly that this game has the best swamp level of every souls like i ever played and is actually one of my fav areas in the game.

[@TommasoFirmini]

It's kinda funny that swamp levels have become just as Synonymous with soulslikes as the combat and healing mechanics, and level design

[@Joseph-Philip]

Agreed my friend. First time going through it I felt like I was storming the beaches of Normandy with P lol so satisfying to overcome

[@OhNoJoshEdits]

Ya know what.. I’m inclined to agree with you. Lol Blighttown (AKA 15 FPStown in vanilla) is famously rough. The Gutter is torture… The only one I can think of that doesn’t make me immediately wanna cry is maybe Faron Keep… _maybe_ 🤷🏻‍♂️ But id take this swamp over any of those lol

[@braxinIV]

@@TommasoFirminithe other one was feet, but I don’t remember seeing any in Lies of P.

[@Ghorda9]

@@OhNoJoshEdits the gutter and black gulch are two separate areas

[@VINEETSUTHAR]

The most difficult boss so far was the broken bridge jump

[@OhNoJoshEdits]

My first run, I ran thru the swamp, barely any issues. Then I went to NG+ and I was stuck on that jump for 20 min. I had no idea what I was doing wrong. I ran thru all my pulse cells before I reached the other side

[@Saixga]

@@OhNoJoshEdits You were most likely jumping. That bridge is programmed to break after you cross it (so it breaks behind you, not under you). But for some reason, if you jump, it breaks immediately, causing you to fall (most likely a bug). This is true for every single breakable bridge in the game, with the exception of breakable bridges/floors that lead to loot or are otherwise beneficial for the player to fall trough. In other words, don't jump. You can straight up just slowly walk through the bridge and you won't fall. After you cross the bridge by walking or running, it will break behind you. There's a video of me testing this in my channel, if you want quick proof of it. I think it's the exact bridge you were talking about (I recorded it because there's a lot of people confused about this, and understandably so)

[@OhNoJoshEdits]

@@SaixgaWord lol I’ll watch your vid to make sure it’s the same bridge 👍🏻 but that could be useful for future plays and avoiding embarrassment 😅

[@Massacretalitor]

@@OhNoJoshEdits What bridge are you all talking about? It's a long video to look for this, and I don't remember running into any difficult jumps anywhere in this game.

[@OhNoJoshEdits]

@@Massacretalitor There’s a bridge Max struggles to get over (so did me and a lot of ppl) I think it’s been patched tho. There might be another comment with a timestamp. Look for anything like “Max vs Bridge” 😆

[@alpha00zero]

For those struggling with this fight, here's some tips from someone who got stuck on it for a while: Phase 1: When it start to walk back and swipe its tentacles, literally run and hug its face. It will never hit you since it has disjointed hitboxes at the tip of them. (Props to Ongbal for that strat. Insane Souls/Sekiro player btw) Staying close to it is your best bet to avoid most of it's decay stuff. If it starts to vomit, back away from the side (it doesn't track you very fast) and use that time to heal, repair or just chuck shit at it and go back in. Like Max showed off, staying aggressive in this phase just cleaves it quickly. It's very much a glass cannon. Another good weapon options for those with some pts in Advance: Salamander Dagger + Acidic Staff absolutely melts this boss. Phase 2: The rush attack is the worst move it has. If you manages to distance it, keep that but P.Guarding it will stop the boss from doing the follow up charges. It's hard to pull off but its worth it. Altho be careful, the last one can randomly turn into a Fury Attack version. The stomps/bodyslams, just dodge them. They have a janky hitbox and unless you're in front of it when it lands, you won't be blocking that attack. It will crush you. You can run towards it to go under that attack quite easily. If its appendages twitch while its up on its legs, dodge forward. That's the command grab. If you have Flamberge lvl 2 (the range upgrade), the weird contortion + flail attack is the perfect time to torch this fucking thing. Keep your distance and it will eat all the fire damage w/o being able to hit you. The 1-2-3 windup from the Watchman boss is actually slightly delayed on the Fury Attack finisher. It also has a follow up with its tentacles that you can dodge if you do it towards the boss. Same deal as Phase 1, those appendages only have a hitbox at their tip not the middle. Same thing with it's freaky arm windup. It will follow-up with a tentacle attack after it lands and yes, it's more delayed then in the Watchman's fight. Don't be afraid to unload throwables on this boss whenever you can, especially Thermite and Shocking Cells as this boss gains two weaknesses for being both a carcass and a puppet in Phase 2. And always remember: Shot Puts are your best tool to get that clutch Stagger from even long range, especially if you have a long Charge Atk.
