Lies of P patch notes 1.2 are here, and the main focus is making the game just a little bit easier, nerfing some of its toughest boss fights and buffing your carry weight and parries. If you’ve been playing the ‘Pinocchio does Bloodborne’ fairytale soulslike, and finding some of its encounters to be a bit too challenging, this Lies of P update should make your life a little more bearable.
Lies of P patch 1.2.0.0 decreases the health of some monsters out in the wild, as well as that of the Dimensional Butterflies and three of the most notorious Lies of P bosses. It also lowers the damage dealt by one of them, and increases the chance to break the stance of several monsters in the RPG game as well as the window of time they can be staggered for.
Drop rates have also been adjusted for several items, meaning it will now be harder to farm Lies of P Star Fragments, but easier to get Moonstones and Ergo items. You’ll also get increased carry weight per point you invest into Capacity, and the ‘guard parry’ fable art has been improved – successfully landing it will now break the opposing monster’s stance.
Developer Neowiz has also made it easier to respec in Lies of P, with adjustments to the required gold coins and the ability to reset your level, P-Organ, and Legion Arms at the gold coin tree. There’s also improved support for Sony’s PlayStation controllers, the DualShock 4 and DualSense, which includes the ability for the touchpad to be used to open the menu.
