Just remember that the parry window is actually quite small.
When in doubt, block earlier than later.
I find that perfect guard is the same as Bloodborne parry, as the attack is going to hit not as it's charging up
@@silverkuro4219in bloodborne you just shoot when attack after a wind up start to go your way. You dont have to wait more than that. In LoP I feel like its not always the case.
@@PTHYTQV Lies of P is a short moment before you get hit. The timing feels more clear to me, once I know the attack. Wind ups were confusing for me in blood borne. I could not get the parry to work. Im finding this game much easier, even landing them on bosses I've just met.
edit, well, easier to parry, I find the actual game harder, w bosses having a lot more HP.
It also seems that, the camera angles can really fuck you since the characters often are like 2x or more the size of you.
@@klabboy13 that def does happen, at first I just tried to perfect guard everything, then eventually I end up pushed into a corner with bad camera and if the boss is too big, I cant escape. Later I began to mix in dodge and run/ reposition, it helped that. Would be nice if we had better camera control during those odd angles.
Lies of Pie?
Pies of Lee
Leeps of eies
I can't wait for the sequel, "The Truths of Poo"
You helped me with elden ring, bg3, starfield and now with lies of pi, thank you very much
And i will continue :D!
@@scroogeydoogeedoobecause its "Pi" nocchio 😂😂. Ok ill leave
Tip: Electric Baton and Puppet Sabre Handle have Fable Arts that both give buffs, and both stack. So does the Salamander Dagger Blade. So, instead of showy moves, you can double buff for a substantial damage increase.
Its quite fantastic aint it_
how do i beat police bosses?@@P4wnyhof
@@jbeachboy100 LoL this exactly. They own me every-time and I have to just avoid them. I have never been able to parry one of them. Parry in this game is broken.
@@HazzR8 can u run past them?
@jbeachboy100 try not to get into the habit of running away from anything. You need all the practice you can get.
thank you. i am usually good with a parry but i was struggling a little with the narrow parry window. now, i'm nailing the perfect guard almost every time
It's only narrow if you spam. It shortens the window.
I had almost given up on being able to improve enough to progress until I watched this. I am so glad I am able to keep playing this incredibly cool game. Thank you sensei
Happy i could help :D!
@@P4wnyhof I want to play lies of p to experience the art style of the graphics and story, but i'm not a fan of bloodborne like difficulty. How is the difficulty with the new patch? Does it makes lies of p significantly easier or will I still be dying a lot?
@danielmoung9098 You will die. A lot. But as with all soulslike games once it finally "clicks" for you you'll feel like a god as you destroy enemies that used to kill you over and over.
It's all about getting a feel for the combat and finding a play style that works for you.
Don’t ever give up bro, we all start bad then work our way up
@@itoshisae9323 that’s what makes these games fun
The game is a masterpiece. This one of those games that idc about anyone’s reviews. Based off my expo experience so far. It’s everything I wanted it to be. Basically a tru next gen Bloodborne
For me its a simple 10/10 - Fun Engaging and Great Story that gave me feels :)
@@P4wnyhof
Absolutely agree I’m playing it and literally blown away by everything this game has to offer.
I am so glad this game came out. I haven't been able to play through bloodborne because I use xbox, and it also feels like they're never gonna make bloodborne 2 or port the first one to xbox
Facts. This is my favorite game now
This game is broken. The dodge and parry are trash. Another souls like flop.
In my opinion, in order for any enemy, you’re fighting to guard perfectly you have to get a base animation and then time it from there one Mississippi to Mississippi, and so on once you get that timing right for each individual enemy, you’ll be able to block for consistently without relying on just sight
Then doing that for every different attack for every different enemy 😓 it sucks that dodging is so bad in this game
i just started this game and stumbled onto your channel i am so glad i did. Incredible insight and helpful tips! i have gone from feeling defeated to being excited to play. Did I subscribe? i sure did.
Thanks mate! There is tons of videos about lies of p!
One gripe I have is that enemies dont get interrupted by your attacks reliably. The toughest fight ive had so far is with that survivor npc in the factory. He just keeps attacking nonstop and even if you do perfect block, your counterattack will just be a hit trade because his next attack will hit you.
I did manage to beat him eventually but at some point I considered switching to the rapier because it has less recovery time before you can block after attacking.
The best way to beat the human like npcs is probably dodging tbh. You can just dodge all attacks, and when you see when he's done, you can give him a massive back fatal attack. The survivor in the factory is kind of hard to do this with, due to the tight spaces and a table in the freaking middle, but its the most efficient way. The best thing about perfect guarding is when you can break their weapon.
The thing to remember is that most of the time, perfect parry does not stagger the enemy. If they have an attack that hits 3 times, you need to perfect parry 3 times in order to get stagger damage. With enough perfect parries, their health bar will turn white and then you can do a charged attack and it’ll stagger then for a critical attack
I find when they do delayed attacks, if you hit them with a quick attack then guard or dodge, it makes it much easier to hit their timing. Rather than trying to guess when the attack will drop. Plus you can sneak in more damage between attacks.
In short. When you see an animation attack coming - press guard.
Actually it's better to hold guard b/c the timing is all different, and then when you see the animation coming release guard quickly and then quickly attempt to perfect guard. This gives you more leniency b/c it gives you an opportunity to block quick attacks you weren't expecting and there's more room for error when you attempt a perfect guard b/c holding guard reduces the response time of the parry so at worst it just becomes a block most of the time if you mis time the parry.
Thanks man, this is just what i was looking for.
Mf got confused between Lies of P and Life of pi in the intro alone.... lmao
Excellent guide, really helpful thanks!😊
I have very few complaints, but in such a fast paced + difficult game… I should be able to guard at any time, not be stuck in my attack animation, especially after I’ve connected already.
Technically yes I want to agree
Practically you gotta get the timings right
Not sure how much better the game would haven been with animation cancel
I honestly have to agree, personally I think that it is one of the most fundamental mechanics that distinguishes the game from sekiro parrying
Skip all dat mess and buy a ton of throwables, blade buffs, and resistance ampoules while grinding your levels & weapons. Every single boss gets owned by distracting them with your Spectre, and throwing a crap ton of type-specific throwables in between you hitting them with charged-grindstone buffed blades.
I played Strength & used that first sword throughout the entire playthrough.
Malum District Vendor has all your throwables & buffs. Cessani Vendor has cheaper Electric buffs & throwable. Elysion Vendor has all your save-ergo buffs.
Can do that if you want easy mode or enjoy perfect guessing
Yea I don’t want to play easy mode id rather play the game solo and learn how it should be played otherwise what’s the point… standing miles away and lashing throwable hardly seems like fun
Git Gud
The parry is slightly before than it feels it should be he actually has to have the block up before the hit just slightly
Exactly!
Thanks for the tips. Very useful
Thank you!!! I needed this
Happy if it helps!
Legend! Works like a charm!
Brilliant game! Thankyou for the excellent video Cheers!
My favorite content creator at it again thank you for everything
People under play how good dodging is when fully upgraded, especially later game. I used dodging exclusively to fight Romeo and did not lose any health. You do have to get perfect timing, but it is possible. I also use primarily use long-range spears and trusting weapons and long blades, so the majority of a heavy charge attack that can hit perfectly when you double dodge away and I also use the puppet string legion arm which can get you closer as well. All of my passives are focused on charge and fable attacks, and now I stager faster with charge attacks than perfect guard. I know mine is good because I have a dedicated build around it, but if you can put your mind to it, you can come up with some crazy builds that seem like they should not work.
We play identical, now I'm building prefect block on top of that because of the grindstone
yeah blocking and perfect blocking is kind of a waste of time when you can just dodge every enemy or stay out of their attack range then quickly move in to hit them. I beat Romeo on my first try and he was so easy. This is before the nerf patch btw.
Fuck this broken ass game. The dodge and parry system are trash. The gameplay and controls are clunky. It could have been so much better.
thats when its upgraded. At the start, you are forced to fight with a bad dodge for a bunch of game play hours. You're encouraged to get good with block system. Later it can be played way more like blood borne. Would be better if link dodge could be enabled at the very start, along with the dex class/ rapier starting or just more dodge s. Maybe the strength( better stagger?) and balance( more stamina and hp? ) could also have their own starting P organ skill.
Very helpful. Appreciate it
depends on the boss, I had to retrain my brain to dodge only on the last boss as every perfect guard, block is followed by another attack, eventually u die, dodging is the only viable tactic i found as nearly every dodge is left with a nice attack window
best combat guide for beginners, thanks!
Amazing just watched this video 5 minutes ago and killed. A boss that i was struggling for days . Easy way to explain 🔥🔥
Happy it works mate!
I have held back getting this game, mainly due to the fact I have never actually known if I was any good at parrying (as when playing bloodborne I found shooting easy, and Elden Ring I used ranged builds mainly).
I never played Sekiro as I thought I may get it, and end up having to buy a new tv and ps5 remote after half an hour!
I watched this vid, and took the plunge and nabbed Lies of p. And man I am having an absolute blast!
The parrying for me took a bit of time to get right, but I just fought any and every enemy in the first zone before the Hotel, and seemed to just click eventually. Now I actively seek out every enemy just so I can hone my skills even more.
I agree with a lot of people.
This game is 10/10 for me. A true next gen Bloodborne sequal.
Happy you took the plunge and thanks for giving me a chance :D!
@@P4wnyhof welcome sir! Cheers for the very helpful video 👌
My best tip just watch their arm pit you’ll usually get it. Also use a weapon with a high block negation
I just came from Seikro so I’m trying to get the timing down 😂 the game is still a blast. Thanks!
thank you, i needed this 😺😺😺
Great video!
You pay something either w/ stam or wep durability, pick your poison. On my 1st pt I went from going w/ guard in early game to dodging mid game and back to dodging & guarding late game. The problem I have w/ the guard system is my wep was constantly breaking throughout the fight where dodging w/ the dodge ammy and stam fixed the stam issue and my wep broke far less. I'm going to try a new build to optimize the weapon durability to see if that works... The devs really force players to TIGHTLY min max to find a good balance and I have yet to find that but I've only done one play thru.
Thanks Bro !
It looks like an interesting game, I'll have to check out some gameplay. Thanks p4wny.😊😜🤙
It's fantastic to be honest deep in love!
I really love all from software games so i had zero expectations for this. But I really love this game!! NG+3 right now
I feel validated for spending my time with the boxing dummy before the 1st boss now. I have definitely gotten used to guarding and perfect guarding over defaulting to dodging. The combat in this game is just a nice soup of other combat ingredients from other games:
Charged R2 from DS3 / BB
Rally mechanic from BB
Guarding / deflecting from Sekiro
Perfect guard / parry from DS
ALL COMBINED
Yeah, the dodge roll was so bad that I figured guarding / perfect guard was going to be the best defensive part of the game. Can't say I'm a fan of it, but I appreciate the tips.
At least its better then the ghost of tsushima dodge bro this one is at least decent
Dodge roll isn’t bad at all. Direction matters for dodging. It’s a very viable option and can even become something you build for if you really aren’t into perfect guards.
I love this game. It feels super smooth and the atmosphere is wonderful. A few not so great level design choices.. looking at you cathedral... and the parrying has me throwing my controller but this is a masterpiece
Oh wow. Tysm for this video. Finally someone explains it so its not confusing to me lol. Im not horrible at perfect gaurds, but i mess them up once in awhile which is just way to much with this game 😂😂 TY TY TY!! Subscribed!
Gotta sometimes break down the basic basics to enhance everyones fun!
@P4wnyhof the fight that made me realize that maybe I wasn't as good at guarding as I thought I was, was that damn walker of illusions. Huuuge pain in the arse.
Am digging this game so far.
10/10 experience
Now i understand the mechanics 😎👌
I spent over 24 hours trying to beat Champion Victor and almost beat the living shit out of myself. I finally did it by dodging but I have to figure this perfect block out. I press the block but it's like my controller doesn't respond fast enough.
Dodging is better for Victor imo, hell you can just run circles around him sometimes. Guarding his attacks pushes you back.
@@apharys8921 Thanks, I ended up finishing the game and it was like a comment I read here on CZcams "don't bash the game, get better. : )
Nice, that weapon/strat got me through Fuoco :D
Brilliant video.
Thanks mate!"
Great video
I love you so much for this (ignore the valorant pfp) i was always having trouble parrying and i managed to get over my performance anxiety and can explore everything without getting scared 😊😊😊😊
Enjoy the Journey mate!
The handle does change the move-set of the blade EXCEPT for the execution. That always goes by what blade you have, not the handle
I’ve been struggling so bad with this game. This is my first souls game and I’m trying my hardest and I’m still in the beginning
I'm the same, it feels good to see other people who are similar hh
same here
My first souls game whereby I am actually hyped to go into ng and ng+
All 3 endings are 100% worth it! High recommendation
How to 'charge' your weapon?
I can use that blue bar once and its gone for a long time.
And after guard.. L1... do you press R1 to hit back?
Ah yes, Lies of Pie. My favorite food-like game
i love lies of pie
Having played Elden Ring, Wo Long, Nioh and Sekiro, and not Bloodborne, I feel like Sekiro is the game that comes closest to this for combat. It’s all in the timing and you can’t hesitate.Thanks for the vid. Very informative.
Despite Sekiro being similar is still vastly different - Give BloodBorne a try and you notice what i mean :D!
@@P4wnyhof I would love to but it’s a PS exclusive and I’m a PC gamer :(
Pies can’t lie my man
This is like sekiro 2 for me but I’m struggling a long time on almost every boss. But for some reason I don’t care. I just enjoy it and then feel so satisfied when I finally win
Im really enjoying the game im up to where your tracking down the alchemists but I keep clicking my guard in the perfect window of before the attack lands but just to late to get the guard up and i take full damage. theres a touch of delay with guarding that has made it difficult to master for myself.
This is a game that you just feel it's a masterpiece. Doesn't even matter who says what you just love it.
100%!
Whats a chatge attack? If i hold r2 it just does an r2 attack iver and over. What am i missing?
How did you get 5 pulse charges before this boss?
When I started this, I always TAPPED the guard button. Then one of the comments in your video said you HOLD the button. I screamed once, and now I'm managing the game. I've never played a soul game before, and this game is super challenging for me. Thanks for all your videos. I'm going for tech build, but I saw your adv build, so I'm leaning toward that build for now. Does advance build slow your ATK?
I played all of them, and its still challenging.
Omg so cool to see you making videos for Lies of P. I won't be able to play it at launch because of Cyberpunk DLC and MK1 tho, can't buy all of them at once lol. I'll definitely get next month or so! Had a blast playing the demo.
Cyberpunk will also get build videos :D - Not sure what but something for sure!
@@P4wnyhof Awesome!!!
That's what gamepass is for
@@Muffinpurplegurk That's for people that has gamepass for Xbox or a good PC. I have PS5.
Haven’t played yet but thinking of holding guard and letting go last min
I always see people talk about "always parry/guard," and I feel they haven't tried to dodge. I'm almost completely through the game and haven't parried at all, and it has been easy.
Im have more trouble getting parries in this than i did in sekiro. And that took me a while haha
This boss took me 1 hour 30 min 😅 perfect guarding is the only way to go for me
You beat him thats all that matters :D
Thanks for the guide! really helpful. I am having an issue with the perfect parry. On some enemies especially the police baton puppet i noticed that the block stays stuck after i block him. So when the red attack comes i usually get finished with that because P is already in blocked stance even if i reliese the button. Do enemies when their hits are heavy stagger my weapon? What is going on here? I never had this on Sekiro which I mastered deflecting.. Does anyone else have this issue?I play on PC with keyboard and mouse.
The parrying time seems very odd in this game. Most of the time I parry while thinking I totally missed the timing window.
Im loving this game and got to the fruit tree so far without too much difficulty ( and some tipa from youtube)
Im expecting it to ramp up later game though.
I usually dont like action gamss with too many RPG mechanics but the ones in Lies of P are a joy.
That is already quite the accomplishment! Good luck on wrapping up the game
Beware the nameless puppet you can not break his weapon so don't try to go for that.
As you reach the nameless puppet yous hould have "mastered" the game
Is there ANY way in this game to get the non existent perfect guard window to improve? I'm not wasting my money until their is. Maybe not even then.
No there is no way :) You need to get gud in this case - Game is also on game pass no need to "waste money"
After I get a stagger, I have a hard time getting that big flurry attack to actually hit. I see the indicator, and walk up and tap the light attack, and it only works about half the time. Is there some trick to this the community needs to know? Because I've been watching people like fightincowboy play this game, and he's having the same issue, and he's much better at these games than I'll ever be, so it seems like there's an issue with this.
After a stagger and the enemy bar turns white-not a back stab-you R2, then get those red slashes toy see when back stabbing, then R1
Ha! I've been playing the game for a few hours, I'm not good at parry but something I xan get used to. After few hours I've notice that my perfect guard works when I press the button a bit faster than what would feel like a perfect guard. Still getting used to it😅
how do you do multiple perfect guards when an enemy is throwing multiple attacks quickly?
I suggest to learn the rythm if your eyes cannot follow through it. Some early enemies with "spears" teach it by storming at you. Each hit can be parried. It's like a 1-1-1-1-1 rythm, and this rythm will reappear in different skins and shapes. I can't see it fully , but I can learn the countdown.
Mostly rythm - But it is better to simply block the one attacks and dodge the multiple attacks!
I just used the sekiro tactic, useful when panicking.
Fact’s. As soon as I figured out it’s more of a “Sekiro like”, it became so fun.
Crazy that this masterpiece is free on Xbox Game Pass…such a deal! 😎
i like this guy
This game is in extreme difficulty mode. I couldn’t beat this guy alone. I had to get the helper
There is no shame in that mate :)!
The specter is a specific mechanic given by the game, is not a cheat. Is a mechanic that devs allow you to use if you want, and there is nothing wrong with that 😉
Maybe some purist will not use them, but the game doesn't reward you more if you complete it with or without so, why don't use it?
@@P4wnyhof i didn’t know that i would find it hard to play certain games. At the beginning i wasn’t enjoying thus game at all . Thankfully i started playing after they enhanced the specter and balanced some bosses
@@steste2074 yeah thankfully i started playing after they enhanced the specter
Dude, There is someone behind you!.
ITS MYSELF WATCH OUT!
This is the first game that got my interest. Ive tried dark souls and nior but didnt like those. This one seems better for me.
TLDR: block during the attack animation meaning the animation which is meant to damage you.
The frame by frame is helpful, but holy crap my block timing is bad
Lies of pie??? 😭
I learn with time the best defence with bosses fight is max agressive posture. Because perfect parrying with ceatures for example with "6 arms" and 18 animation attacks with its windows to pary can be .... Frustrating :D
Best lies of p youtuber
Thanks mate :D!
Now, why are we calling this "Lies of Pie"?
named after the famous puppet baker Pienocchio
@@IsaacBD 🤣🤣🤣
@@IsaacBD she's married to the muffin man!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Boi really just said Lies of Pie
It is PIE or PEE
Mmmm. Lies of Pie. You've made me hungry now 🤤🤤
The way he says "baton".... where are you from?
What is this Lies of Pie game you speak of?
I was yesterday years old when my dumbass realized you could block the red attacks 😂
Please make nameless puppet phase 2 guard timing video
I quite like that it stands out from dark souls with this nerfed dodge and guard system. Definitely a very aggressive game.
I wish the deflect system would be more like Sekiro.
@@PTHYTQV Would have been nice, feels like Lies of P tried to take the best things from souls game and def took inspiration from Sekiro parry. I wonder why Elden ring jump didnt make it.
stuck at the start of the game and after i opened this door theres a big more powerful enemy and i cant get past him..
I'm sorry...did you say "pity timer"? What is that?
I selected to stay away from all attacks till i can react to the attaks, slowly gettin in, and only parry or guard those attaks that leaves huge openings for punishing.. all boses became really easy after that really. laxasia, Fuoco, last boss, and green beast are the only ones that became tricky. WHile Manus and the archbishop became an utter Joke =/... but thats just me...
What's lies of pie?
Dodging is lower risk and good vs big slow enemies because you can roll to their side or back and they can't do much about it. It's also useful if there's an aoe involved or for grab attacks.
Plain guarding against a boss can get you killed, how fast depends on your build and weapon, I wouldn't recommend doing that unless you're built for it, it's generally better to try perfect guarding a little on the early side so if your timing is off you at least get a normal guard.
Perfect guarding does cause you to lose stamina, you said it doesn't.
