Hi Y’all!

So first of this is my fourth attempt at getting into a souls like. Previously have given a go at Elden Ring, Sekiro and Demon Souls, but always bailed or rage quit.

But I just got my hands on Lies of P and recently reached the rabbit siblings and have been dying, replaying and dying, but also progressing.

So I am confused, because I read people say Lies of P is like super punishing and difficult. So does it ramp up at some point or is people just overselling it?

    I suck at soulslike, even though I love them. There’s a cheese if you want and if it hasn’t been patched yet, throwables are quite powerful. I did finish the game overall though, not always cheesing it 😁

      Yeah I read that :p but I don’t like throwables, because it makes me rely on a super limited resource to deal damage. So I just never use them :p

          lol okay, that is really cheesy. Just tried it out on the white lady and the few throwables I had on me took the quarter of health I needed to take her out. In the last couple of attempts I managed to get her down to 25% before dying.

          Cool trick, but I don’t think I will be using it. It does seem like real cheese.

            Depends on the skill level. For me it’s often necessary 😂 But yeah, I agree. However since there aren’t human summons, I needed this for some bosses.
