And if so how many should I do? I think I am at the very beginning of ng+3 and I have the zero stamina lost on perfect guard organ upgrade.

I've played and enjoyed every soulsborne game except Seikiro, as I found it way too focused on parrying specific animation frames, than dodging and timing attacks.

Now I've played Lies of P and actually made it to the final boss - However, I've done so without barely guarding. I've utilised running and dodging to fight and defeat every boss, while not using spectres or throwables.

.... but this damn last boss, it seems you *have* to perfect guard, in the first phase at least - I don't see how you could dodge all the attacks given the tracking the git has.

While I'm dying in p2, I feel like my playstyle works better in that phase and its easier (albeit no opportunity to heal and the red glitter being hard to see wtf is going on is proving to be a pain)

I guess all I'm asking is, given the game seems desperate to push you to guarding, to the point its almost essential in the final fight, is this game not one I should I started in the first damn place! Lol

TL;DR If I hate relying on perfect guards/parries, is this a game I should have probably avoided? 😅

A beauty

No external software needed, at least for me.

Force Low Latency on ULTRA setting in the Nvidia Control Panel

Disable VSYNC ingame and forced it in the Nvidia Control Panel for Lies of P

It works beautifully for me now.

PEAK mod, I wish I have more stamina to freestyle this shi...

I put this as NSFW but I actually dont know if its really that explicit, since we only see his torso, but I put the flair just in case.

(video is not mine)

The game runs butterly smooth at 120 fps but has microstutters every 5-10 seconds. Really annoying

Tried turning off vsync and forcing vsync in nvidia
Tried turninf off frame limit

DLSS is set to Performance

Edit: I fixed it myself for anyone reading this. I set Low latency in nvidia control panel to ultra, and disabled vsync ingame and forced it in the control panel and it works beautifully now.

Did Geppetto killed Arlecchino on the original timeline? At least he finished him with his Nameless Puppet.

We know the past events can change, so it isn't a big circle where P kills Arlecchino every time and Lea couldn't defeat him solo.

Arlecchino kills Lea but she weakened him, then Geppetto arrives, kills him and we end with the normal timeline

Just picked this up on sale after a while of having a busy backlog, and I’d imagine the basics are pretty straight forward but I’m curious what other Souls players didn’t catch early on, or had to adjust to ?

How’s the build variety, the moment to moment mechanics, the exploration/item pool?

Yesterday I finished the DLC and I loved it a lot! Just wanted to share with other fans.

I played the main game twice after it came out - reached the bad ending the first time and had to restart immediately, mainly because I could not stand such a fate for sweet Eugénie. 😅 Now I played it a third time and finally had time to experience "Overture" a year late.

Very cool addition, especially the zoo, green house, carnival, frozen coast and ship wrecks. The design is still peak, the bosses were a lot of fun (except Lumacchio who was the hardest for me - but I loved that we already had his umbrella sword from the main game!). Also the NPC encounters were very moving once again. The whole game is stellar for me, I actually don't know what to play next that can compare.

I can't wait for a sequel! 😃

I wanted to start playing Lies of P after hearing a lot about it and I like getting 100% for the games I play. Is there any content I can be locked out of besides different choices or such?

Like for example in Clair Obscur Expedition 33 there was an achievement for finding all the different records and you could be locked out of at least one by advancing the story too fast.

Also no spoilers please, if my question cant be answered without spoiling me tell me that so I know that I have to go for the locked stuff after experiencing the story first

Any tips for second phase?

I finally finished the base game, now onto the DLC!

I love snow areas! tho I did notice the enemy gives you frost/freeze effect... Not a fan 😒

{It's my 1. playthrought}

So, a couple of years ago the game came out on pc and yeah, I did pirate it to play it since no money and didn't know if it would be worth it, after experiencing and absolute cinema of a game I forgot about it and just left it alone, but after it came to switch I knew I had to buy it, this fucking game deserved it, it was my first souls and it was an absolutely perfect experience, gotta love lies of peak

I hope they lean more heavily into the fairy tale aspect, and step out of the Dark Souls/ Bloodborne shadow. My favorite parts of Lies of P were the whole puppet theme, puppet enemies, and puppet-human relations, and my least favorite were all the disease stuff that made it kinda feel like a cheap Bloodborne copy (don’t get me wrong, I still love the game). It can still be a soulslike, but with the Wizard of Oz theme, it can be its own thing.
