Developer Round 8 Studio has released update 1.2.0.0 for Lies of P on PC and PlayStation (an Xbox update is on its way). The Soulslike action-RPG recently released to positive reviews, though it came with the caveat of being an exceptionally challenging game in the vein of From Software’s titles. That said, the latest patch seemingly nerfs several bosses while doing some difficulty balancing overall.
The patch notes for Lies of P‘s latest update basically nerfs some pretty hard bosses including Fallen Archbishop Andreus, King of Puppets and Simon Manus. Players have also received a bit of a buff that allows you to carry more weight for each spoint spent on Capacity, decrease the weight of Amulets and land attacks better when using fable arts that consume three or more slots. The update is tipped in the player’s favour as it lessens the challenge of some imposing boss fights.
