All difficulty options explained in Lies of P Overture DLC
Image via NEOWIZ Lies of P: Overture is a fresh challenge, and now, for the first time, it's your choice how brutal that challenge should be. With the new Overture DLC, developer Neowiz finally adds long-requested difficulty settings, letting players tailor their experience based on how much pain (or mercy) they want from this twisted, Pinocchio-inspired soulslike. Whether you're a hardcore dodger or someone just here for the eerie narrative, this guide breaks down all the difficulty modes and how to switch between them. Every Difficulty Mode in Lies of P: Overture With the DLC update, Lies of P now offers three difficulty settings, impacting both the base game and the new Overture content. Each one changes how enemies behave, how much damage you deal and receive, and how demanding the combat feels. Lies of P - Select Difficulty (Explanation) Butterfly's Guidance, Awakened Puppet, Legendary Stalker 1. Butterfly's Guidance (Very Easy) Ideal for players more interested in the story than the struggle. Combat is toned down heavily here. It is like "cinematic mode" for soulslike skeptics. You'll breeze through battles with minimal effort, perfect for first-timers or those just soaking up the atmosphere. For you if: You want to watch the story unfold, not wrestle with every enemy encounter. 2. Awakened Puppet (Easy) This mode hits a nice middle ground. Combat still matters, but enemies are more forgiving, and parry windows are a bit more generous. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like เทรด CFDs ด้วยเทคโนโลยีเทรดสุดล้ำ และ รวดเร็วกว่า IC Markets สมัคร Undo You'll die less, rage less, and still get that classic Lies of P feel, just without the blood pressure spike. For you if: You want to fight, but not fight for your life every 30 seconds. 3. Legendary Stalker (Standard) This is the original difficulty from the base game—no hand-holding, no mercy. Perfect blocks, brutal bosses, and high tension define this setting. It's where the game was meant to be played, and the mode most soulslike veterans will likely stick to. For you if: You live for the grind and the glory. Lies of P | How To Change Difficulty How to Change Difficulty in Lies of P? You can choose your difficulty when you start a new game, but the real win here is flexibility. Jump into the Gameplay settings at any time to switch modes. No restarts. No loss of progress. Just instant adjustment based on your mood or frustration level. Boss Rush Difficulty – A Different Beast The Boss Rush mode, introduced in the Overture DLC, has its own twist: it uses levels 1–5 instead of the named difficulties. Levels 1–3 match up with Butterfly's Guidance through Legendary Stalker. Levels 4–5 are locked at first but offer extreme, unforgiving challenges for the brave (or reckless). Beat Level 3 to unlock the rest. What's the Best Difficulty for You? If you're new to Lies of P , don't let pride ruin your playthrough. Start with Awakened Puppet or Butterfly's Guidance to learn the ropes, then move up when you're ready. The core experience remains intact - creepy world, tight combat, and haunting boss battles, but just at your pace.

List of all boss fights in the New Lies of P Overture DLC
Image via NEOWIZ The Lies of P: Overture DLC has dropped, and it's brutal, beautiful, and absolutely unrelenting. From twisted puppeteers to monstrous beasts in glass enclosures, Neowiz takes you on a nightmarish detour through the Krat City Zoo in a version of the past that's just as bleak as the future. Whether you're chasing Ergo or just trying to survive, here's a rundown of the new boss fights in the Overture DLC and what makes each of them unforgettable. 1. Tyrannical Predator Your first real taste of the DLC's chaos comes in the form of a mutated crocodile-like beast lurking in the Savanna Experience Center. It's massive, it's angry, and it'll punish anything less than perfect dodging. Think fast or be food. Drop: Full Moonstone. Lies of P Overture - Markiona, Puppeteer of Death Boss Fight (No Damage / Dodging Only) 2. Markiona, Puppeteer of Death Markiona doesn't come alone. This eerie puppeteer attacks alongside her doll, each with its own health bar and erratic patterns. It's a dance of death, with you caught in the middle. The reward? Macabre Puppeteer's Ergo and Markiona's Key. 3. Veronique, Leader of the Sweepers Next up is Veronique, who is part sheep, part berserker, all terror. Armed with a colossal hammer and relentless aggression, she's here to crush your timing and your spirit. Beat her to earn Veronique's Will and a crucial coolant console key.

Two-Faced Overseer This haunting mechanical doll switches phases mid-fight between red and yellow, each bringing a new set of attacks and strategies. Precision is everything here. Conquer it, and you'll claim a Full Moonstone of the Covenant and a Bloody Cipher Machine. 5. Premetamorphic Green Hunter (Optional) Missable but terrifying, this hidden boss is all tongue, limbs, and horror-movie jumpscares. It burrows, leaps, and slaps you around like you're nothing. It's fast, it's erratic, and it drops a valuable Quartz if you can track it down. 6. Anguished Guardian of the Ruins One of the most cinematic boss entrances in the DLC, this massive chimera bursts from its egg just as you think you're safe. With four limbs and a deadly tail whip, it's a test of patience and pattern recognition. Reward: Tortured Guardian's Ergo. 7. Lumacchio, Leader of the Bastards A direct follower of Simon Manus, Lumacchio is all flair and fury. His second phase turns him into something grotesque: faster, less predictable, and devastatingly strong. You'll walk away with the Golden Snail's Mask and Tailcoat if you survive. Lies of P Overture DLC - Final Boss No Damage Fight (Legendary Stalker, NG+5) 8. Arlecchino, the Blood Artist The final boss of Overture is also the most theatrical. Arlecchino's first form is deadly enough, but it's the second act, aided by your companion Lea, is the one that brings the real challenge. He drops some of the best loot in the game, including the Monad's Rose Sword and the Leader's set. From start to finish, the Lies of P: Overture DLC throws everything at you — twisted creatures, multi-phase bosses, and relentless difficulty. But for those who dare to face it head-on, it's a bloody good time.
