Neowiz is making Lies of P even more accessible—and replayable—with the addition of two new difficulty options and a boss rush mode, all launching in a free update accompanying the upcoming Overture DLC. These enhancements aim to broaden the appeal of the Soulslike hit while rewarding veterans with even more content to conquer.
🎮 New Difficulty Options for All Skill Levels
The update introduces two new difficulty settings:
-
Butterfly’s Guidance – a more accessible experience for those new to Soulslike games.
-
Awakened Puppet – a middle-ground challenge between easy and standard.
The default game difficulty will now be labeled as “Legendary Stalker”, reflecting the punishing nature that long-time fans are familiar with. These options offer much-needed flexibility for players who want to tailor their journey through the city of Krat.
⚔️ Battle Memories: A Boss Rush Mode
As reported by Video Games Chronicle, Alongside difficulty tweaks, Lies of P is also getting Battle Memories, a boss rush mode that lets players re-challenge bosses from both the base game and the upcoming Overture DLC. This mode is designed for combat mastery, featuring back-to-back encounters that put your skills to the test. Whether you’re a completionist or a thrill-seeker, Battle Memories gives you a new reason to sharpen your weapon and dive back in.
