Lies of P Update 1.2.0.0 released, adds Dualshock 4 & DualSense support, brings major boss balance tweaks

3 Comments

Round8 Studio has released a new major update for its Souls-like game, Lies of P. Update 1.2.0.0 brings Dualshock 4 and DualSense support on PC, and packs numerous balance tweaks.

For instance, this latest patch will decrease the HP of ‘Fallen Archbishop Andreus’, ‘King of Puppets’ in the first phase, and ‘Simon Manus, Arm of God’. It will also decrease the damage of ‘Simon Manus, Awakened God’. Not only that but it increases the Specter’s HP and damage.

Since I’ve played Lies of P, I can say that the life meter of King of Puppets is ridiculously high. That is of course unless you grind like crazy in order to brute force your way. That, or if you use specific weapons (which completely destroys the gaming experience IMO. I don’t want to rely on specific weapons, I want the weapon I’ve upgraded to its max to cause the appropriate damage). So yeah, it’s a good thing that Round8 has acknowledged this and re-tweaked the bosses.

As always, Steam will download this patch the next time you launch its client. Below you can also find its complete changelog.
