Lies of P players torn after Patch 1.2 made it easier

Olivia Richman Published 28/09/2023

Lies of P is known for being wicked hard but the latest patch is hoping to make the game a bit more manageable.

Lies of P is a souls-like game that has a dark and eerie vibe and extremely difficult bosses, similar to Dark Souls and the like. While a lot of gamers like to have a challenge, Lies of P was proving too much for the average player.

In response to ongoing concerns from the gaming community, developer Neowiz has made some changes in Patch 1.2.

Lies of P Patch 1.2 makes boss fights easier

Did you previously give up on Lies of P? The last update may have you going back to give it another try.

According to the latest patch notes, several bigger baddies have had their health reduced, including Simon Manus, Arm of God, Fallen Archbishop Andreus, and King of Puppets.

Another big change is that some bosses deal less damage to you when hit. You also have an increased chance of breaking some enemies’ stances and causing them to stagger.

The changes have been met with overall applause from the gaming community, who enjoy having buffed capacity and better chances at dropping baddies. But others feel frustrated that they didn’t finish the game before the patch notes dropped, claiming they didn’t need the game to be easier.
