NEOWIZ and Round8 Studio have released a new update for Lies of P, their recent Souls-like action RPG, easing the difficulty in certain aspects. Certain field monsters have had their HP reduced while the chance of breaking the stance of some monsters has increased (in addition to the stagger frequency).
If you found it annoying trying to destroy Dimensional Butterflies, then good news – the HP for all three types has been reduced. The drop rate for Ergo items, Moonstone type items and Ergo rewards from certain monsters popping up after Lorenzini Arcade has also increased. Perhaps the biggest change is that several bosses, like Simon Manus, Arm of God and the King of Puppets, have seen nerfs.
Those looking for different ways to respec their character can now visit the Gold Coin Tree, which allows for resetting their level, P-Organ and Legion Arms. The amount of gold coins required for the same has also seen adjustments. Check out the full patch notes below.
Lies of P is available for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5 and PC. Check out our review.
