Lies of P Unleashes Epic 1.3.0.0 Update: Mastering the Puppetry with New Cosmetics, Gameplay Enhancements, and Boss-Level Challenges!

Lies of P, the acclaimed Soulslike game inspired by the Pinocchio story, has rolled out its latest update, version 1.3.0.0, offering players a strategic advantage in the early stages of their journey through Krat. Garnering widespread anticipation, Lies of P has achieved impressive sales figures, surpassing a million copies in under two months. Recently nominated for Best Art Direction and Best RPG at the Game Awards, it has solidified its position as one of the top Soulslike games, not developed by FromSoftware.

In Lies of P, players step into the shoes of Geppetto's puppet, Pinocchio, navigating the Belle Epoque city of Krat, plagued by a puppet frenzy. While its atmospheric cityscapes draw parallels to FromSoftware's Bloodborne, Lies of P distinguishes itself with challenging, fast-paced gameplay reminiscent of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Combat involves a Perfect Guard mechanic, functioning as a parry, allowing players to avoid damage with precise timing and build stagger or break enemy weapons.

Approaching two months since its launch, Lies of P introduces update 1.3.0.0, designed to ease the early challenges faced by players. A significant modification is applied to the Rising Dodge ability, allowing players to evade after being knocked down, a feature previously locked behind the P-Organ system but now available from the game's outset. Furthermore, two additional Quartz, required for P-Organ upgrades, are conveniently placed in Polendina's shop at Hotel Krat during the initial stages. The update also adjusts the difficulty of field enemies, along with various refinements to weapons, Fable Arts, and status ailments, all favoring the player.

Beyond gameplay enhancements, update 1.3.0.0 treats Lies of P enthusiasts to four new free cosmetic items, including 'Alchemist’s Hat,' 'Treasure Hunter’s Mask,' 'Treasure Hunter’s Hunting Apparel,' and 'Illusory Emerald Glasses.' A new short gray hairstyle for Pinocchio is also added. Despite potential reservations from the hardcore Souls community regarding balance changes favoring an easier early game experience, Lies of P remains a lengthy adventure, with the latter half promising to maintain its intense difficulty through challenging late-game boss encounters.

The effectiveness and lasting impact of these Lies of P changes will unfold over time, raising questions about potential reversions or further adjustments. With the game's nominations at the Game Awards, fans eagerly anticipate insights into developer Neowiz's future plans, whether it involves Lies of P's DLC or an entirely new gaming experience.
