Thread 713265307

how is that playthrough going, anon?
do you like it?

i've just beaten Lumacchio. pretty fun fight, he was kinda easy to stagger in phase 2 which was unexpected to me, i went into the fight thinking that i would just try to memorize attack patterns, but somehow managed to perfectly parry a lot of his attacks and stagger him over and over again until i won

Frozen Feast is still my favorite weapon, even including the DLC weapons (Bow is a close second though). I feel like I'm the only Frozen Feast enjoyer. It's really good despite its slow speed. I made it work even with the final boss. Anyone else use Frozen Feast?

why the fuck did they nerf it to hell now? first two times i played i was actually dreading the dlc cos of how tough it was and just finished my third pt of the dlc and you basically one shot all normal enemies like what the fuck is that all about? the bosses have def been nerfed too, and they changed it how you can access it at chapter 5 now instead of 9, man this shit blows

>>713265307 (OP)
It was pretty enjoyable, but really frustrating at times. Apparently the latest patch reduces the difficulty somewhat, but I played before that and bosses hit like fucking trucks. Getting killed in two or three hits just wasn't fun, but I don't need to worry about that shit anymore. The final boss weapon is fucking stupid, but I'm happily using it alongside the bow.

I hate the black rabbit brotherhood fights. Fuck gank spanks

Are there any good motivity weapons in the DLC or should I just go technique or quality?

>>713267507
yeah i agree that it was frustrating me A LOT
many bosses have delayed attacks, and it drives me mad

>>713267971
gunblade and pinwheel are good.

>>713267578
They're pretty good for gank spanks. The second one is basically 1v1 if you keep moving away from the two others.

Just reached chapter 5 on NG+. Should I start the DLC now?

it got nerfed already? sad i didn't get to it yet but the shadowdrop + chapter 9 requirement killed my hype

>>713268056
Gunblade sounds awesome as I love gunlance in MonHun. I haven't even bought the DLC yet but I might today. Do you get it early?

P is going to be the antagonist in Thighs of D

>>713267578
They're incredibly easy because the other AI holds back for the majority of the time while you fight a single target and will only come in every once in awhile with very obvious, slow attacks.

>>713265307 (OP)
>watch every "soulsborne" playthrough ever
>"lol ultragreatsword weapon everytiem"

just seems homo

i started NG, got through the DLC and am about to get into NG+
what're some great amulets? the gunblade and the monad are really cool, i think ill try some Advance weapons in NG+

It got nerfed bad, theres like little point in playing it now

>>713268134
If you want. Narratively speaking it fits better for post chapter 9 as by that point you potentially have more humanity and the story makes more sense if you're more human

>>713268309
he's going to be the Tin Man

>>713268532
Swamp puppet bro will be the tin man

How do I know if I've lied enough to become a real boy? Does it say something else other than "you feel warmth"?

Feel like these threads are filled with the same posters asking questions they already know the answers to just to keep the thread alive artificially

>>713268672
you'll get "Your heart is pounding" when you have enough. You can also check with the cat.

>>713268672
Yes. "Heart is pounding". Be sure to listen to the records at the hotel as those give humanity too

Game is so boring because the basic enemies aren't interesting to fight. Most of them can be staggered to death and the one's that aren't have very obvious moves to dodge.

The game just doesn't do a good job encouraging you to push forward when so much of the content puts you to sleep. I still beat it but I was not impressed. I looked at the DLC and it seems to have the exact same issues, some of the bosses look cool but im not slogging through terrible level design and same-y boring enemies just to fight 2-3 cool bosses

I got through most of the DLC before they patched it, up to the end of the shipwreck area, and i didnt find any boss excessively difficult (Markiona was a little exacting but also her attacks are very easy to parry once you learn them, so whatever)

This last guy is a prick though. The mix of delay attacks, quick attacks and two-hitters is getting me

I don't get the people that say motivity is worse than technique. I played tech on my first playthrough and motivity is so much easier. Bosses take so much more damage, shorterning the fights, and it also has great stagger potential. It feels like easy mode. Bosses that took me like 20 tries with tech now dies in 1-2 tries

>>713267507
Patch didn't change shit other than reducing some regular enemy dmg. Bosses are untouched

>the devs patch the game
>the game can no longer be beat
many such cases

>>713269358
I want to say it's because of the meme katana that can completely trivialize fights with enough skill

>>713269165
This is the biggest problem with the game imo. There's a lot of comparison to Bloodborne because of the aesthetic but they're sort of the opposite in this regard, attacks feel more like Sekiro with less ability to fight groups and basic enemies themselves don't really have compelling or complementary movesets. Usually you run up to one, combo it to death, run up to the next, and so on...

I hope for a sequel they make this aspect more interesting. I think the fights against large enemies and bosses are great but the minor enemies feel more like they exist for the player to wail on for some basic satisfaction between actual fights

>never played with the Proof of Humanity before
this things kinda crazy strong. not as strong as the Monad Rose Sword (at least because of the Fable Arts, either of them but especially if you land all 3 attacks) but it's cool.

>>713269653
dont bother, the patch shitposters are literally just doomer retards or baitfags just posting to post

>>713268786
It is. I was gonna participate but this chatgpt bot turned me off the thread

>>713270092
Its R2s are really bad though. God awful reach and its a slow weapon too.
Compared to katana or gunblade it's pretty bad.

How the fuck are you supposed to deal with Arlecchino's opener in Phase 2?

>>713270501
how's the glaive?

>>713270656
I didn't use the pre-order weapons. Mostly tried all the technique ones.

>>713269653
That's not bad. Those arche puppets hit way harder than they had any right to.

The sequel needs to remove perfect parry. This game encourages you to perfect parry, especially against those red attacks, the fact that dodges suck and mandatory parry bosses like Arlecchino. The problem is that if you're decent at parrying, you realize theres no reason to even move in the game. Infact it's easier to parry if you just stand still and wait. Battles should be more about the area and spacing.

Parries should just be restricted to Fable Arts.

>>713268358
couldn't be me
in souls games generally i like to play with big bonk weapons, but lies of P has so many cool dex kind of weapons and you can craft new ones

I wasn't that into it starting out, but after a while I found my groove and after finishing it I'd say I enjoyed it overall. I still don't know if I'd be interested in future games from these dudes because they seem to be falling into the same pitfalls as other soulslikes devs where the only way they think to escalate the gameplay is half hour long combo strings peppered with delayed attacks.

The rocket lance is the greatest Soulslike weapon of all time.
All.
Time.

>>713271434
The dodge is good though. You can avoid many red attacks with spacing just by sprinting or dodging out of range. The tracking in LoP is actually not that strong. The same thing with combos from many bosses and normal enemies. Dodge around them and watch them whiff many of their swings. Dodging is safer and can create openings for attacks in exchange for losing the stagger/weapon break buildup of parries.

>>713271803
Rocket lance and boost glaive are the only reasons this game doesn't have poise for player. They'd fucking nuke everything by themselves if we did.

>>713271434
Nonsense. There should just be unblockable moves that require movement and spacing.

Why weren't hey gifted PS5 pros?

>>713270628
Run

>>713274323
That's basically what the red attacks are. You can parry them but it's a higher risk so just moving out of the way is a safer option.

Lies of P: Overture?
More like Lies of P: is over :(

>fucking skip button shows up in 99% of screenshots
worst part of this game FUCK

So which stats should I level up bros

>>713268309
i'd give Dorothy Pies of D iykwim

>>713274817
>That's basically what the red attacks are
That's the exact opposite, as perfect blocking them cause a shit ton of durability loss for the enemy's weapon most of the time, incentivizing you to learn the timing.

>>713275823
The ones that make you do more damage.

>hear that it's a really good game actually
>try it out
>literally has worse combat than fucking Stellar Blade, which is already mediocre as hell in that regard
At least everything else seems pretty solid so far.

>>713276146
The game really picks up gameplay wise post factory imo. I felt the same initially.
The lore is quite interesting too if you give a shit about that.

>>713266074
i did use it a couple of times.
it's not horrible, but the gimmick is very poorly thought out.
since it does high damage, 90% of normal enemies die by the time you reach 4 stacks, and the bosses will almost never let you hit them enough times for the increased swing speed to matter.
5s is way too short to lose all stacks, maybe if it was 5s to go down 1 level it could have been interesting

Where's her dress?

Any opinion on whether to access dlc when it's available or finish the base game first?

>>713266074
I tried it a couple times and its so fucking slow most bosses just slowly back up out of its range for a charge attack while normal enemies just stagger you because lol no hyper armor. If youve made it work youre a better unga bunga strength fag than me

>>713277019
>access dlc when it's available
that

this shit was way too long i had to resort to cheesing enemies

>>713277019
nah, get to the end of the game, but don't kill last boss and then go to the DLC

>>713276041
Yeah but it's a higher risk so you're making a decision that's risk vs reward. It's not always optimal to parry them if you're not fully confident with the timing and weapon breaking isn't a thing for all enemies.

>>713277019
>>713279018 If it's your first playthrough
>>713277161 if it's not

Reason is because playing the dlc first will trivialize the end of the base game.

Starting the base game today. What difficult should I play on to get it closer to what it was before they add difficulty option.

>>713279269
I still say to do the DLC first because if you are only going to play the game once, as most people do, you get the most unique content by doing the DLC first.

>>713279269
Ok thanks base game it is

>>713279269
>If it's your first playthrough
well yeah i assume most people try this on first playthrough

>>713265307 (OP)
>how is that playthrough going, anon?
Finished it today. I also watched some short youtube summaries and learned there are some new lines from Lea on that island you react at the end in the base game.
>do you like it?
It was good. The zoo was the highlight.
I miss the gun pistol weapon (I used the soul like a dumbass) but I used the claws which were amazing.
I like thay they kept the intrecacies in terms of level design though in terms of aesthetics some of the areas like the underground labs were pretty generic.

I also liked that they gave us a not totally depressing ending like it was shaping up to be. Koreans make some depressing af movies and the last chapter area like it was gonna be a horror show with Arlechino live torturing Romeo in front of Lea. I'm glad we didn;t get to see that directly. Wish Carlo said something to her teacher though.

im being told to remove myself from the stage a lot

>>713279652
The zoo was so good. Not that the rest was bad but it's obvious where they put the most effort in making new enemy types and new assets

> how is that playthrough going, anon?

>love lies of p

>write a review on steam

>hilarious rewards

>>713283108
what did you write
that it's too easy and fun and balanced?

>>713283161
I said stuff like the new music and weapons are great and that the zoo is a great opening level. I also said that the final boss is very hard, but is totally fair because all of his attacks are countered by the same tools you've been using since the opening of the base game.

>>713276126
Yeah sure but what about investing into the others

>>713283525
Huh, maybe i was to harsh on puppet string

>>713283525
that's what i thought
i haven't gotten to last boss yet, but DLC been pretty fucking good so far. but it feels like it's a bit short? like, i've beaten that mask guy and walked through a lot of ships and got to the lighthouse, how many more bossess is there? i heard 8 main bosses

>>713284204
You only have one boss left. I didn't feel it was that short. It took me like 10 hours on my first go. I guess the length depends on how good you are at the game. I'm not that good, but I have perseverance.

so you unlock boss rush after beating the DLC? does it inclue all bosses or just DLC bosses?

>>713285071
boss rush is unlocked right away, at least it was for me
the DLC bosses are only added after you beat them

lying in the DLC doesn't help with getting that sword out of painting in main hotel krat
sad

>>713268187
No, you get it more than halfway through the DLC, which unlocks about 80% through the main game (halfway in NG+)
But as another gunlance user, if you enjoyed flying around monsters in Sunbreak with blast dash and RBD this is the closest we'll probably ever get to that in a soulslike

>>713285201
what? how do i do boss rush? where is it?

Is there a way to reduce the fog in this game without straight up turning it off

>>713285583
Hotel stargazer

>>713285689
????????
where

>>713286060
I think you need to beat the game once for it to unlock.

>>713286060
Oh, yeah, you gotta beat the base game at least once

>>713286182
>>713286365
yeah that's what i though
but i guess im pretty close now. i really enjoy how DLC is not a slog, doesn't force you to walk through 90000 locations to get to a boss, it's so fun and enjoyable

>>713283525
>changed handle on wrench
You didnt beat it

>>713286836
I've used it since the game launched lol.
>Saturday, September 16, 2023, 11:27:23 PM

>Sawblade police baton
Is this the game's easy mode? It feels OP as fuck

I only use unique weapons because they are cooler

Is there a proper stabby-pokey spear or lance in this game

>>713287197
saw + bramble hilt for me

>>713287321
there's an acid...something spear somewhere in the base game.
it's pretty fast and stabby.

DLC has a lance which is a flamethrower on R1 and big pokes on R2

>>713287119
based
i've been using fireman axe and electric stick for 99% of the game
when i was 1/3 through the dlc i got one of the special bos weapons and tha'ts it

>>713286691
She's pure sexoo

>>713287557
Dont forget the rocket spear

>>713287708
yeah
and it shows that you don't have to move from UE4
i really hope next game is on UE4 as well

after i completed the game i cheated myself infinite upgrade materials and honestly i don't regret it one bit.

The whole story kind of takes a nosedive when you realise that the puppet frenzy, petrification disease and zombies are just isolated cases to Krat, and that the government can just send in the marines whenever they want to and stop the whole thing.

>>713288035
Anon we literally find a note in the dlc saying that that shit has spread overseas

>>713288035
Puppets practically only exist in Krat anyways, the rest of the world doesn't have such bullshit tech levels where a fucking random circus attraction can topple buildings
Also there's no way petrification can't affect others, how are they fighting against it anon

>>713287321
Holy ark sword does a lot of pokes if you only use R2/RT. They are quite fast as well.
Acid Crystal Spear, but that is an elemental weapon.
City Longspear exists, but it comes pretty late, same with the Cursed Knight's Halberd.
Trident of the Covenant you get after the, like, 4th major boss, by spending that boss soul with Alidoro.

>>713288190
>how are they fighting against it anon
They have a cure for it, the same one you can give to Antonia. PD is also greatly accelerated by hanging around ergo and other cities don't have access to it and don't sit on one huge deposit of it

the gunblade is the coolest weapon and the most fun to use

>>713289193
for me it's umbrella

how do you say "it's over" in your language?

TO KONIEC

>>713289615
That's kinda gay anon

>>713288262
>but that is an elemental weapon
What's wrong with elementals

>>713265307 (OP)
I finally gave up fighting my way through the opening area and just ran until I found the second stargazer in the museum/zoo. It's a lot more fun and easy after that part.

Is there anything worthwhile in the opening area I might have missed? Does the giant gorilla outside the museum drop anything if I fight him?

>>713291491
advance scaling just kinda sucks in the grand scheme of things and you most likely won't have put any points into advance when you get it

>>713265307 (OP)
So I'm confused.
Stalkers. Apparently there's two organizations of them.
Their purpose is to hunt down puppets, but the game talks as if they've been around awhile instead of just dealing with the puppet frenzy.
So what the hell were they doing before the puppet frenzy? Why did they even exist?

>>713265307 (OP)
I just reached the Monad Home. I liked the DLC besides the asylum level. Absolute dogshit cancer.

>>713291910
Looking for sweet loot while getting drunk out of their asses

>>713291976
kinda unrelated, but doesn't one NPC in the early game just almost quote "get out of here stalker" or something to that effect?

>>713268309
The other P will be

>>713271434
>the fact that dodges suck
They get better after you unlock certain abilities, and if you wear the Dancing One's Amulet that you can get from the ergo of the first boss.
They really should be that way from the start.

didnt play yet, does it have a harder boss than nameless puppet? is the level design simple like base game?

>>713293985
yes

>>713292710
What the heck is that anime multi-slash move you did?

>>713291910
>Their purpose is to hunt down puppets
No, that's just what they do after puppet frenzy starts since they get directly attacked by them at the start of it
>they've been around awhile
They've been here since the universe equivalent of medieval times
>What were they doing before the puppet frenzy
Whatever paid the most or helped accomplish their personal agenda. Modern day Stalkers are mostly agents for Nobles (Sweepers) or Alchemists (Bastards), so murder, kidnapping, stealing etc. Some of them were more interested in moralfagging, but most are just mercenaries

>>713294153
DLC weapon

>>713291910
>So what the hell were they doing before the puppet frenzy? Why did they even exist?
One group was bodyguards for the rich and the nobility, the other group were enforcers for the Alchemists.

>>713294209
Nu, which?

>>713287708
Do not lust after your foster mom.

>>713294308
Monad's Rose Sword
You get it for beating the DLC.

>>713294379
So you don't get it until after you defeat the guy it's being used against in that video?

>>713294428
yep

>>713289615
Shut the fuck up, Lumacchio.

>>713293985
>does it have a harder boss than nameless puppet
the base game has harder bosses than NP
the not-Darkbeast-Paarl policeman you fight 30 minutes from the start is tougher

Do we find anything more about the Mad Donkey in the DLC? Dude was right about everything.

>>713294676
>the not-Darkbeast-Paarl policeman you fight 30 minutes from the start is tougher
He's the hardest boss in the game because after him you unlock upgrades so you're stronger against subsequent bosses.

I do wish the upgrade materials were spread more evenly through the game instead of being mostly clustered in the last few levels.

>>713294938
>Do we find anything more about the Mad Donkey in the DLC? Dude was right about everything.
Nope. He probably has some very minor Ergo power like Sophia and Simon. At least that is what I would say if I were a dev.

>>713294938
yeah, they tend to do that in a lot of games, they shower you with upgrade materials in the last 20% of the game to let you bring up new weapons up to par.

if it was for me, i'd just make it so that beating certain story bosses let you upgrades weapons for no cost up +X, depending on how far in the story you are

>>713294938
He was just a schizo anon
And schizos are always right

>>713295167
Did anyone else have ergo power? I recall the (actually insane) opera singer is the only other boss who notices you come back to life repeatedly.

>>713295254
I was referring to upgrading P, not his weapon, but you're right when it comes to weapons upgrades.
It's been a while since I played, can you purchase weapon upgrade materials by endgame? I remember you can't purchase which ever material is used to upgrade P.

>>713295502
Giangio probably, considering his origins.

>>713295502
Yeah Polendina sells endless supply of upgrade materials for upgrading up to +9/+4, don't remember if the final +10/+5 are also unlimited

>>713295502
you get infinite amount of the titanite chunk equivalent, and a very finite amount of quartz and not-slabs

>>713295763
Just how many not-slabs are there? My +10 go to weapon (acidic spear) doesn't seem to be very effective against DLC enemies.

>>713296602
There is enough to get like 3-4 Fullmoon stones from the base game. So that means 3-4 +10 weapons. And most enemies resist or aren't weak to the acid spear element. Also, Carcass monsters take more damage from slashing bladed weapons, and puppets take more damage from blunt weapons.

Does any game other than Bully have an equally kino carnival area? My favorite area of the DLC by far.

>>713297339
I fuckin' love the carnival. It's just a fun little section. It's not even overly combat-focused. It's just a place to have some fun, as a carnival should be.

>>713296602
I just beat Laxasia and I'm done with DLC, from my inventory and weapons there's 9 full moonstones for regular and boss weapons each

>>713296964
I thought Carcass monsters were weak to acid. The spear is neither slashing nor blunt; who is weak to piercing/poking attacks?

>>713297924
>I thought Carcass monsters were weak to acid
Nope, fire
>who is weak to piercing/poking attacks
I think no one is weak, but no one resists.
IF anyone is weak to pierce, it's humans. Humans are also weak to acid.

>>713297658
I legitimately enjoyed getting to throw saw gears at targets to get prizes. So fucking soulful.

>>713298074
I thought puppets were weak to fire.
Please give me the rundown on weaknesses.

>>713298307
puppets resist fire
puppets are weak to electric
puppets take normal acid damage (the dot may make acid better than electric for bosses where you don't get as many hits in)
puppets take more damage from blunt weapons

carcasses resist acid
carcasses are weak to fire
i'm not sure if they resist or are neutral to electric
carcasses take more damage from bladed slashing weapons

humans are weak to acid
i don't know if they resist any element or not
i don't know if they are weak or resist any weapon type

>>713298864
Thanks Anon!
>the dot may make acid better
What dot?

>>713298864
What about infested puppets?

>>713299440
hit them enough times quickly, and they will be "poisoned" with acid and take damage over time
>>713299518
I'm pretty sure it's electric.

>>713298864
What's the actual difference between the effects of elemental statuses (electrified, on fire and decaying). They all seemed like different flavors of DoT but I barely interacted with the advance weapons

>>713300165
Enemies suffering from burn take damage over time, and more damage from weapons dealing fire damage.
Enemies suffering from acid take damage over time, take even more damage from weapons dealing acid damage, and acid breaks weapons. If an enemy is attacking you, and you are blocking with a weapon coated in acid, their weapon takes acid damage.
Enemies suffering from electric blitz take more damage, even if your weapon isn't coated in electricity.

>>713299746
I have the acid spear on the rock drill so it hits constantly and I haven't managed to acid poison any of the early DLC enemies. I can light them on fire with the Black Steel Cutter with two hits tho.

>>713268134
How did you get those ears?

>>713265307 (OP)
I tried but after Elden Ring I can't play hallway rollslop anymore.

>>713278238
>he picked icarus
lel cataclysm can hit them for like 60% of health

>>713300879
Exactly. Those enemies resist acid, and you are more likely to kill them before inflicting a dot.

>>713301046
You're supposed to parry

>>713300590
Also my Salamander Dagger disappeared. I didn't know you could lose weapons. Where could it have gone? I'm sure I had it when I played the base game. I had stuck it on some spear handle.

>>713283525
people give clown awards just because they can, they have no other ways to insult you on steam

>>713287708
She's your mom bro

>>713301179
You still have it somewhere. Check your bags, and tab over to blades and handles. It should be there if it's not attached to a hilt. You may have also put it in storage. Maybe you are just glossing over it because of the handle it is currently attached to, if you can find it in either of those locations. It is also possible to destroy(delete) items, and maybe you did that somehow.

>>713301179
Maybe you used the spear handle for something else. When you mix and match weapons the other part of whatever you matched gets dumped into your inventory. For example Mixing AB and CD into AD will leave B and C in your bag. Or maybe it's in the stargazer storage

>>713289193
TRVTHNVKE
Fighting Arlecchino while LARPing as Squall was almost as kino as Consort Radahn.
Also the R1 into Charged R2 and the fact that the Charged R2 Lunge can be chained into after Fables and Fatals is so fucking SEX.

>>713297658
>>713297339
do the dance emote in front of those little colored jester guys

>>713300879
Also, I forgot to mention, it isn't just speed, but overall damage. A weapon that deals more damage per hit will apply more elemental buildup per hit. The speed factor is that the build-up drops when you aren't hitting them. If you only hit one time every 10 seconds, you will never fill up their elemental meter.

This expansion was my favorite thing to come out this year, new monhun was barebones $70 that looks like shit and fromsoft stabbed me in the back with rogue like coop

Who gives a shit. Rematch level 5 is the true Arlecchino and you can't summon for that anyway.

>base game is difficult but challenging and fair
>people whine and complain still
>devs fold and add different difficulties which was a massive mistake
>people STILL bitch about difficulty
>devs tone down the difficulty again
I'm so fucking sick and tired of bad players getting coddled like this. If you can't beat a game or if it's too hard for you, then you need to accept that maybe you're not good enough. I sincerely hope the devs don't add difficulties for the sequel but I know they'll be forced to since they've already caved in to the complainers.

>>713302834
I like using very easy in NG+ as a victory lap.

>>713301576
>best gunblade weapon in any game ever
>only get like 4 hours of fresh new content to enjoy it in past where you first get it
it's pain

Singleplayer games that won't allow you to pause have got to be one of the dumbest things in existence, man.

>>713302834
I mean, the DLC is a sudden jump in difficultly while I haven't played the game in months.

Is there a difference in which ergo to give? In the last playthrough, I only had 3 options, even though the bag had all sorts of different pieces

Despair but also an erection

>>713301991
Yes

>>713303815
I don't know, but I always give her my biggest non-boss soul Ergo.

gayyyy

>>713304232
They didn't nerf bosses though, right?

>>713304623
nope

>>713303882
this guy is an absolute prick

multiple targets in the judgment cut plus decay actually fucks your sharpness up, i never had a weapon break mid combat before
it's diff 5, at diff 4 the three lads still get oneshot with one move lol

>>713304734
He's such a fun prick though

>>713304623
they absolutely did, at least for NG+

>>713304623
they did

Oh well I guess I'm staying on v1.8.0.0

>>713297339
Near A Tomato

Is this the origin of that zombie cancer stuff?

>>713307658
Not exactly
It's the arm of god that blessed humanity with "immortality" in the form of turning them into ergo. Carcasses are, as far as I know, results of Alchemists experimenting with ergo and not directly caused by the god

>>713307658
That's where the Arm of God was.

It doesn't take that long to get to chapter 9. You could always just play on easy and then change the difficulty to Legendary Stalker for the DLC.

For one they nerfed ng+ difficulty with the most recent patch, and also it was always pretty manageable anyway

>>713309484
>Lea
Did not beat the 1st phase

>>713311268
I had a backup save. I did it once with the NPC and once without. Always gotta get a clear with the story summon.

>>713311268
>not fighting alongside your mentor
Did not become a real boy

what fools we were

>>713312412
when theoryfagging goes too far...

Should I be saving my upgrade mats, just started. Also is this a game where even the starting weapons are good or does your gear keep getting one upped as you progress

>>713313268
You only need to save the final mats. The rest can be bought or farmed.
There are better weapons than the starting weapons, but anything can be used to beat the game.

>>713301046
It was the opposite for me. After Elden Ring's needlessly bloated empty world, I was longing for a more linear experience.

>>713313268
the starting weapons themselves fall off but there are plenty of early weapons that can easily take you through the entire game

I like that the main menu changes as you progress.

>>713314124
aurora borealis? at this time of day, in this part of krat...

>>713314124
Yeah, that shit is always cool.

Ended up using Lea for the final boss. I wouldn't mind repeatedly dying to the second phase boss on its own, but having to sit through the first phase every time just to get two shot by a long freak out combo is too much. The high point was Markiona and exploring the carnival. The Rose Estate felt kinda unfinished.

If their next game is more like this it could be perfect if they didn't make it completely fucking linear.

>>713314250
Yes!

damn difficulty 5 got hands, it feels like fighting the bosses on release again before the 6 nerfs

>>713269653
It nerfed ng+ in general so if you were playing on it then it was a nerf. I would wager there are a fair number of people this applies too.

>>713265307 (OP)
Im on ng+5 but I really haven't leveled my character much after ng+

Do I do the dlc with the ability to weild any weapon(i dont care about min maxing)? Or start a new game and choose a build

>>713315273
depends on the weapon you want to usean when it becomes available

>>713315273
I did it on NG and NG+ and I liked it better on NG.

Does the game actually ask you to go to NG+ after the last boss or do you just get kicked to it after killing it

>>713315796
Asks.

>>713315796
It prompts you. You have to do a button hold to choose it, so it’s borderline impossible to do it by accident.

>>713316775
>that damage

From me or the boss?

What were they thinking when created this

>>713317949
Wait till you get to the second pack!

I got to the museum and the villianess started speaking to me, but the gorilla came up and killed me, and I missed most of it.
What did she say?

Does going into ng+ affect the boss rematch mode at all?

>>713319883
no
>>713319771
just like "you dare enter my domain, i kill you"

>>713317203
Lmao both, honestly. You vaporized half its bar in two hits and then immediately got folded like a lawn chair by that combo canceling flurry—it’s beautiful. Peak bullshit on both ends.

>>713319771
>Welcome to kraft zoo
>You have some big balls to come in while i, [evil woman], is here
>uoooooo twink sexooooooo

I finished it yesterday, games still really good and the dlc is great too, the base game is a real refreshing change of pace with slower paced bosses you can actually strafe attacks on and that don't zoom all over the arena after how crazy Nightreign and SOTE get (I love them both too to be clear, I just appreciate slower paced action too) difficulty curve is good, most dlc bosses took me 5-15 deaths, I ran an Advance build which is fun and fairly strong but ultimately pretty limited in options


But the final dlc boss took me 112 tries, 7 hours it was legitimately the hardest fight I've done in one of these games since Malenia, I dunno if I'm just dumb or bad or what but he was just out of this world difficult for me. I'm sure if I used Lea it would've been easier but damn

>>713320228
Final dlc boss took me 4 hours solo and that was after beating him once with Lea. Fucker is hard.

>>713319923
So the boss rematch mode is standalone? That's good because I missed something early on that I wanna go get once I finish the DLC

about to try this https://youtu.be/rtqjF_5pvdY?si=o8zkYwQxNEdnrtxg

i dont like the animal masks, too furry adjacent

>>713320404
Yep. All difficulty options for boss rematch have nothing to do with NG, NG+, or your selected difficulty. Level 5 on Legendary Stalker is just as hard as Level 5 on Butterfly's Guidance.

Lies of P was shorter than I expected, I thought it would go farther with the collapsing Krat setting and that we would get more corrupted versions of early game bosses. It would have been disappointing but the DLC really makes up for that imo. I'm actually glad I waited this long to play the game after Overture launched as I feel I'm getting a more complete experience.

It seemed to me that there should have been more story and plot in the game, but due to the narrative style adopted in soulslikes, they can't present the plot properly, and in the end, all the characters seem to be developed, but somehow alienated from the game world.

When the credits roll, you can see how the characters spend time, have fun, and interact, but in the game, they are just statues that come to the hub and stand in their spots until the end of the game.

>Game tells you you're supposed to kill the butterflies AFTER the first one disappears
FUCK YOU

>>713323676
You would know to kill it if you've played dark souls

>>713323729
I expected the glowing butterfly to be something you have to follow not murder :(

>>713323676
You can still kill it after reloading the area.

What do you mean you can sharpen a baton or a wrench

I dont even remember where I got these glasses but I love them

>>713316775

>>713325795
>>713325392
You may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like

I'm guessing that I'm not supposed to go down there and beat this thing into pulp

Is the DLC much much harder than the normal game? Isee people in NG+4 saying it's really hjard, but what about normal NG?

>>713326712
You are supposed to go down there and beat that thing into pulp.
You can also drain the poison swamp to make the fight easier.

>>713326815
It's harder. You'll prolly be in the 70s when you unlock it on a fresh NG, but you should be levels 80-90. I was getting two shot on NG by some enemies, but that fixed itself as I leveled and got the DLC defense parts. They recently nerfed NG+ because people found it too hard.

>>713326815
It's harder but unreasonably so. As long as you save it for last then you shouldn't get totally destroyed compared to if you did it as soon as it become available.

>713327056
*NOT unreasonably so, shit
proofreading my posts appears to be the unreasonably hard thing

>>713269165
I think the biggest fault for me in Lies of P isn't its enemies but how the levels are designed. I don't mind if it's linear, I want them to be visually interesting, and the base game just doesn't have that. Chapter 10 is easily the biggest offender, as its length came across as needless padding. It feels like the devs are finally finding their stride in the level design during the DLC because the first two (Zoo & Carnival) are easily the best levels in the game for me.

>>713327008
>>713327056
Alright cool. I'm thinking about doing everything up to and including Simon before I take it on. I'm 81 right now and I'm on the alchemist isle.

>>713327128
IMO if you can beat Luxasia then you can definitely beat Markionia.

>>713327207
this anon is correct

>>713327116
Chapter 11* But yeah, I'm excited for the sequel because the level design in the DLC is a huge improvement over the base game. (I can't remember a single level in the base game that wasn't the slog that was 11)

>>713268652
would be so fucking kino

What are good vitality and vigor guidelines for someone who's not an MLG pro at these games? I'm thinking 30?

>>713320228
Nice job, anon. I didn't keep track of attempts, but the final boss took me 9 hours. I'd say he's one of the hardest soulslike bosses (I've fought much harder non-soulslike bosses though)

>>713327792
You only need like 20-25 vigor before it drops off hard. I beat the game with this.

>>713300590
>breaks weapons
I thought that was unique to those puppets with claymores. does it work on bosses?

>>713327991
Yep. Pretty much every enemy weapon can break, but there is probably an exception or two I'm not aware of. You don't even need acid, just perfect guard a bunch, and it will eventually happen.

I fucking hate the prison or whatever it is on the alchemist isle. It's such a terrible section where you don't see shit.

>>713328109
Forgot this, but acid makes weapons break faster/take more damage. And by a lot, too.

>>713316775
his design would be literally perfect if not for the goofy fucking sawblade wings

>>713326815
dlc difficulty is well adjusted IMO, it's definitely harder but its not like such a huge step up that its unreasonable

its definitely a bit more cinematic and crazy if that kind of thing bothers you but in terms of raw difficulty it doesnt seem too wild

>>713327834
Is he hard in a fun way or in a "Promised Consort Radahn" way?

>>713327960
show gear

>>713328406
I liked promise consort radahn even before the nerf so I'm not really sure

I will say that the fight has an NPC you're really supposed to use who is very powerful and it was clearly balanced around that, with her its more like a 10 attempt fight like the rest of the dlc rather than an insane shitstorm

>>713328406
Fun for me. He is a fair fight, and you can deal with all of his moves with the tools you've had since the beginning of the game.

If you beat the DLC before beating Romeo any new dialogue?

I hate how lazy the camera can be in these games sometimes

>>713328452
It's just all the best defense parts that you can get in the base game and the holy arc sword
my amulets were: Arm of God, Blue Guardianship, Iron Wall, Patience

>>713328481
>I liked promise consort radahn even before the nerf so I'm not really sure
I just didn't like the excessive visual effects that blind your view, the terrible hitboxes, and how it's also the lamest boss lore wise too.

>>713301076
By that point you have both though.

Did the budget for the level design team run out at alchemist isle?

>>713328683
Ah, a fellow Ring of Favor and Protection enjoyer, nice

>>713328714
you'd probably be not too bothered by it then, Its not as crazy with particles

hes simply not as large

>meet alidoro
>here, you can this to summon me wherever you are
>me 2 seconds later

>>713328832
Yeah, it's actually a bit of a trap, tho. There are far better amulets, and you could easily grind out levels for match what the LoP FaP ring gives.

>>713327116
At least oz should lend itself to more interesting and fantastical locations

>>713328951
For me, most of my playthrough was using the Hunter's amulet for max ergo gains the whole ass game. Once I could I also mained the Conqueror's most of the time.

God I hate the jump function of this game so much
You don't have to do everything DS did, some of those were just really fucking gay

>>713327116
thankfully, wizard of oz gives a lot more creative enviornments to work with than pinocchio does.
>blogpost spergout below<
although, something that bothered me about the ending was that dorothy was IN Krat, implying the next game would take place IN Krat, which would be extremely fucking lame and a massive waste of potential. BUT, dorothy is clearly very young in the glimpse we got, id say around 9 or 10, and unless theyre gunning for the onirism audience i doubt we would play as her in that state, so her game will likely follow a timeskip after shes gotten older, and thus is more likely to have moved somewhere else. i personally hope the next game has little to nothing to do with krat or puppets outside of like a character cameo or a secret bossfight. tbdesu

I fucking hate the very basic spear puppets
I fucking hate the furnace niggas
I fucking hate every enemy in this stupid game
AAAAAAAAa

>>713329827
just block lmao, it's okay

Motivity crank this, technique crank that
Where mah souljaboy crank

This game tries to be cheeky often but I played Nioh 2, this is nothing
I know to expect a fuck you behind every single damn door and on every possible ceiling

Still stuck on the crocnog.

Which legion arm did you find the most useful, anons?

>>713332286
Even after the dlc it's still the puppet string

>>713332318
Fuck off Scorpion, your games SUCK

>>713332286
>>713332318
pupper string was the only arm that ever felt useful as advance build

to its credit, its wildly useful in many scenarios, even with full advance build the elemental arms are just pointless, i feel like for str build the mines are probably useful though

>>713332201
Murders me in 3 hits. Managed to get its health haflway down a few times but I'm just too shit.
Do I not have enough vitality or what?

>>713327116
The level design is terrible but boring enemy design is a part of that. I haven't played the DLC but watched some people play and it's not any different.

The game does a bad job of helping you figure out which path moves forward and which is a side path.
Most side paths are complete dead ends, so you just turn around and run all the way back, with the items gain typically being nothing of value.
The game rarely has neat shortcuts or ones that serve any use besides maybe backtracking if you missed something
Again the majority of the game are just enemies in a hallway with nothing else going on besides either enemies shooting projectiles at you or enemies waiting to gank you. Very few times they do something different and when they do, it's usually some gimmick we've already seen before like a shitty poison swamp, an enemy from a tower shooting a really big projectile at you, fucking rolling boulders, etc and again the majority of the enemies are really basic ones that can just be staggered. The game does not really trust the player to deal with tougher enemies most of the time, if they do it's an enemy either isolated or puts the easy enemies in front giving you plenty of time to kill them before dealing with the slightly tougher guys and then those tougher guys die really easy to dodging basic combos into backstab or big punish damage.

It's just not good, it's not fun and it's just a shame. I think the weapon assembly system is REALLY cool but when I thought about doing NG+, I just thought about how no matter what cool stuff I put together it's not really gonna feel any different because i'll just very easily mash through the majority of the content and just not have many opportunities to try my weapons out against enemies that can kind of put up a fight.

>>713332740
Drop motivity down to 35-40 and put it in vitality. Dodge and run instead of parrying.

>>713332740
going to 30 is probably worth it

are you using the highest defense frame? using a liner? i recommend the iron wall amulet too, its 8% across the board and since you get in the 40s just from armor it increases EHP a ton

i only had 30 vit and never felt like I needed much more. I also recommend switching to a weapon with a physical blade, the black steel cutter is elemental and relies on advance scaling from your handle for half its damage, your attack is much weaker than it would otherwise be

>>713265307 (OP)
lies of who?

>>713332878
>>713332904
OK will do. Thanks anons.

Just finished it yesterday. Absolute kino, loved every second of it
I'm in NG+ and beat it on the middle difficulty for babies, felt just about right

>>713332286
Puppet String and Cataclysm

>>713331339
Main game did the same thing. I'd estimate about 80% of pickups are traps

Does Alidoro have a secret stagger attack animation if you summon him for the Overseer boss in the DLC? Was fucking kino seeing you tagteam Arlecchino with Lea if you managed to stagger him in phase 2.

>>713333302
No unfortunately.

>>713333302
No, unfortunately not

I feel like they got better at making levels. In the main game it just feels like you're going down arbitrarily placed paths because videogame. In the DLC all the areas felt like a real place that makes sense
Except the lab, the lab is pretty boring

>>713267507
Getting two tapped by literally any enemy was a pain honestly

>>713333540
Why didn't you just turn the difficulty down if it was a frustrating and unfun experience?

>>713333540
It's overtuned as hell. I played on a max leveled save standard difficulty to fuck around and the DLC enemies were chunking my HP bar even at that level. I can't imagine how retarded it gets on a normal build.

>>713333623
Sometime will have to explain the lore to me of the thing having more attacks than the main game version

Personal DLC boss ranking. Do I have shit taste?
Arlecchino > Lumacchio > Guardian > Overseer > Veronique > Markiona > Croc > Green Monster

>>713333625
To be fair, HP starts softcapping hard after 40 points so max level hardly matters

>>713332878
>>713332904
I switched to bone cutting saw blade but I feel I do far less damage now. Advance really doesn't have much of an effect on elemental damage and fire is really strong against these undead niggas.

>>713303815
There isn’t

NG+ in this game is fucked up
Between level 80 and 180 or so, the ergo costs per level only went up from 16k to 18k. You basically instantly start drowning in levels

Got the game the other day
P has no business being this cute

>>713334125
It's fine because that's about when the softcaps hit, so you need way more levels for the stats to make a difference

>>713334209
Yeah I ended the DLC with like a 60/20/40/40/40/40 stat spread kek

>>713334039
Do you have the extreme modification amulet? There's little point in pushing motivity past 40.

>>713332286
Fulminis to just kill any nonboss puppet enemy. Several big enemies even just get knocked on their ass at the third charge and you can just loop it

>>713333932
To each their own
>Arlecchino
>Overseer
>Veronique
>Markiona
>Guardian
>Lumacchio
>Croc
>Green Monster

Overseer and Veronique were definitely more fun and engaging. Her hammer falling apart and his hypermode going back to babbymode gives you more advantage to press attacks.
Markiona can be annoying but her strands have fair tells.
I placed Lummachio low because it's unreal how incredibly easy he is to backstab. I used braindead DaS1 pvp tactics and didn't feel tension once.
The big bosses definitely are a downer when it comes to camerawork and positioning. I use shorter weapons so it was hard to hit shit or see what was happening.

>>713334318
I have motivity at 35 now with an amulet pushing it to 39. The rest I put in vitality (30) and capacity (24)

What the fuck is the Guardian anyway, it was stated to not be human but it looked kinda human

>>713333540
Oh come on, enemies don't hurt you that much and you have regain so you'll get a chunk of it back. At least on NG with 35 stamina and the best defensive items equipped I wasn't getting hit too hard

I'm not saying it isn't tough at times but it doesn't feel at all excessive to me. I've played harder

>>713303882
If this was another type of game, he would be your typical tumblr sexyman

>>713334656
He's literally me

>>713334523
>I placed Lummachio low because it's unreal how incredibly easy he is to backstab. I used braindead DaS1 pvp tactics and didn't feel tension once.
Ah yeah, that would explain it. I learned all of his perfect guard timings and dodged when I needed to. I didn't even realize you could backstab him. I think he's pretty fun to fight if you engage with him head on

>>713334672
>and you have regain so you'll get a chunk of it back
These people are mindbroken by OMG IT'S LE PARRY GAME or OMG IT'S LE DODGE GAME
It never even occurred to them to just block, because they're incapable of playing anything but Fromshit

Lumacchio is the best boss because he uses the kino umbrella, the best base game weapon

>auto perfect parry grindstone
the duration is short but it seems kinda OP vs bosses, especially since you can unlock 2 grindstone uses + the new DLC consumable that recharges them

>>713334902
man i forgot grindstones existed and didnt know thats what this one did, it wouldve cut at least like 20 deaths off my arlecchino grind cause of how brutal the phase transition attack is

>>713335056
I dunno whether I hate or love the fact that the big attack can be parried by spamming the button as fast as possible

>>713335091
The rest of his moveset is deadly enough. It's fine to have one that's for spectacle.

>>713333932
I liked the guardian, Markiona, Lumacchio, Arlecchino and Veronique but I don't feel like ranking them
They did good work with the fights against normal human style bosses, though they could probably have removed backstabs – I think we'd understand not being able to backstab a named boss.

None of the bosses are bad exactly but the Overseer was way too easy, i beat it first time and i barely even remember the fight, it felt pretty standard. The croc was cute & cool but i just dumped on him and won without really learning it. And i missed the optional green monster boss so i guess I'll go do him next

post your dlc death counts

2 gator
16 puppeteer
10 Veronique
6 two facer
0 metaphasic
9 ancient guardian
2 lumacchio
111 arlecchino

>>713335342
Don't have a death count, but time spent was:

Croc: 20-30 minutes
Markiona: 2 hours
Veronique: 40 minutes
Overseer: 20-30 minutes
Green Monster: 30 minutes
Guardian: 2 hours 10 minutes
Lumacchio: 1 hour 40 minutes
Arlecchino: 9 hours

I summoned Alidoro for Overseeer, so that might have taken me a lot longer if I didn't. I did Alrecchino completely solo, no Lea, so that also might explain the 9 hours.

>>713335342
>>713335569
jesus christ, that arlecchino rampup, i'm kinda scared.
also, holy fuck that's a lot of bosses. i thought i was near the end of the DLC but i just fought Veronique.

i had a lot of trouble with the croc, i want to say 45-60 minutes, but i kinda crushed markiona and veronique, only took a couple of tries each

I cannot beat Arlecchino at lv2 boss rematch. I'm going to assume the NG version is easier than this.

>>713334318
>>713334039
>>713332201
I FINALLY DID IT BROS
Ended up going back to the Black Steel Cutter Blade.

>>713335821
I feel like level 2 is slightly harder than NG, level 3 slightly easier than NG+

>>713334687
There's no denying he's sexy.

>>713335342
>>713335569
Jesus Christ. If I struggled this much on the croc, how fucked am I for the rest of the DLC?
>>713335845

>>713335342
Croc 8
Markiona 6
Veronique 7
Overseer 1
Green Monster 3
Ancient Guardian 4
Lumacchio 12
Arlecchino 1

Arlecchino would not ignore Lea on my second attempt and the perfect parry grindstone made his flurry a non issue.

it lives and dies from the final mod

You can get stuck on his tiny feet while trying to dodge in his 1st phase, and that makes me hate his ass

>>713337436
Dodging Stalkers always seemed like a fool's errand cause they keep attacking with infinite stamina, I usually try to parry them

>>713326528
Thanks for the tip, anon. That wrench allowed me to blow the fuck out of every boss I've come across so far.

>>713266074
It’s utter dogshit and is outclassed by literally everything. It would only be worth using if there was any poise in this game.

>big pipe wrench head on fire axe handle
now we're gaming

>>713334656
a guardian of the ancient civvie? its not a hard concept
other then the alchemist have also been messing with him

For me? It's live puppet axe head on dancer handle

Venigni is such a Chad

>>713328116
Alchemist Isle is the worst level by far, the only part I like is being able to look back on the beach and see how high you progressed, but most of those views are on the final stretch to simon within 10 minutes of each other rather than spread out
DLC Lab is pretty shit too but it's far shorter

here is your dlc saar

kino

Arlecchino was ridiculous. Not quite as oppressive as Consort Radahn but up there with Ludwig the Accursed.
And yes, I used the auto parry grindstone for his Malenia LARP in Phase 2 and I'm not sorry about it.

>>713336079
>Arlecchino 1
Impressi--

>Lea
Nevermind.

LoP bros......

>>713343001
It's like comparing Jankiro vs Jank Souls 2

Soulsloppers should I play lies of p or khazan? I have both of them on family share and I'm getting an urge to play one after nightreign

>>713343092
Lies of P is fantastic, especially with DLC. Haven't played Khazan but I heard it's more of a Niohlike

>>713343092
Lies of P is more fun. I still don't know what the fuck they were thinking with Khazan but the gameplay is swell if it finally hits you.

>>713343001
Are there really people who care about environmental storytelling in Soulslikes?
>whoa there is a dead body here that means he must have been KILLED :O

>>713266074
I did for my 3rd playthrough, shit's ridiculously underrated desu.
High dmg, high block rate, ridiculously high stagger potential, and really good fable art generation.
I didn't bother with the dlc yet though.

>>713343753
Actually nevermind, it's a retard filter.

>>713283525
>that weapon combo
absolute NPC behaviour
also you didnt even use the handle fable art, you nigger brain faggot

>>713343228
Yeah I like it. LoP is pretty dissapointing in that no matter where you go every corpse just has ergo or random literal trash like pipes or saw blades
It's still one of my favourites in the genre, but this is an obvious area for improvement that I expect in Oz's game now that they have experience
The LotF shill is still retarded

bros can Lea return as a puppet... I can't take this WHY COULDN'T WE SAVE HER FUCK

>>713316775
okay, now try actually beating the game

>>713344048
>random closeup of a hot woman staring into your soul out of nowhere
That cutscene basically summarized Korean games

>>713334039
how the fuck you only have two amulet slots??

>>713335845
cool. now post it on reddit you fucking faggot

>>713344048
because she wanted to die at that point after all shes been through that she beats herself over, fully satisfied that she at least got to see one of her apprentices grow in to her equal/better

>>713344285
Why is Lea so much cooler hotter etc than her sister... we're stuck with this blue haired chick instead of our supercute teacher big sis..

>>713344323
because you have a tomboy fetish

>>713344048
this is what you get when you have talented artists, not the shitty lazy as fuck Kojima face scan faggotry

Man I actually got a bit emotional about the DLC's story. Super impressed they actually got me to give a shit.

>>713344471
Yeah, all of the character models in this game are so good. Same thing with the animations. That big ass guardians animations were so absurdly good. The entire game is super well optimized too and runs great even on my shitbox. What fucking korean voodoo dark magic did they get their hands on

>>713344551
UE4 is an extremely mature engine at this point. Also Korea is top tier when it comes to combat animations. The director of Expedition 33 talks about it where he said that he went out of his way to message 200 different Korean animators for his game because no one in Europe does that sort of combat animations.

>>713336898
I only realized on NG+ that the final upgrade also works on pulling (light) enemies.

>>713344728
Ah I see. Well I sure hope more games use UE4 then if they can manage to make it look this good and run this well. So many cool details in the game too, like being able to uncover snow by walking over it which can reveal more petals in the forest area.

>>713343001
is lords of the fallen the game from that one webm where the players combo moves them halfway across the room?

>>713344826
i was shocked to see the snow on my hair when i entered the Rose Estate

>>713344829
yes, but too be fair LoP also has weapons like this, the worst offender being the snake club

>>713344826
Unlikely unfortunately. UE5 just offers so much more visual fidelity that no one is gonna stay in UE4 in the future.

this is fucked up

>>713345680
Absolutely amazing setpiece
The fight leading up to the estate, the fucked-up reveal, the somber trek through the estate after
K I N O

>>713345825
>>713345680
All while the musics playing. They really outdid themselves narratively when it comes to this DLC.

>>713345680
yeah, your drip really is horriblr
