5 Hardest Bosses In Lies Of P Overture DLC, Ranked

Okay, what sadistic mind designed Madam Weeping Willow? This boss is equal parts tragic and terrifying. Between her harrowing backstory and eerie design, you almost feel for her…right up until she wipes the floor with you for the fiftieth time.

Her attacks are visually deceptive, and more often than not, they feel like they shouldn’t connect—but they do. Thanks, hitboxes, you’re the real MVP (/s). The environmental hazards in the arena only make this dance of death more chaotic.

Pro tip? Learn to love blocking instead of dodging against her unpredictable attacks. And remember to stock up on throwable items for an edge when she transforms into her phase-two monstrosity. Did we mention she gets faster?

The Clockwork Sentinel – Mechanized Mayhem

This boss has one goal in life: to grind you into puppet paste. The Clockwork Sentinel’s fight is a combination of traps, relentless speed, and devastating strikes. Timing is everything, not just in dodges but also in when you decide to strike back.

It’s also a test of resource management. You’ll likely burn through healing items like they’re candy, especially when Sentinel goes full berserker mode in the last stretch of the battle. Bring buffs to counter its physical damage. And, for the love of Geppetto, stay far away when it’s winding up that spin attack. Unless, of course, you like flying corpses…

Shadow Marionette Duo – Twice the Pain

Every Soulslike has that one boss fight designed to humble players. Enter the Marionette Duo, where you don’t just have to deal with one nimble maniac, but two equally relentless enemies at once.

Their tag-team routines feel unfair at first, but when you crack the code, it’s incredibly satisfying. Patience, crowd control, and an ungodly dose of perseverance are indispensable. A solid tactic? Separate them. Focus on one puppet, take it out of the equation, and then deal with the other. But don’t get too comfortable, because FromSoftware’s collective influence shines through loud and clear here. Expect chaos.

The Marionette King – Bow Down to the Brutality

Finally, we arrive at the king of heartbreak and controller-flinging rage. This boss doesn’t just beat you; it psychologically breaks you. From the moment the fight begins, The Marionette King reminds you who’s truly pulling your strings.

Phase one? Manageable, if you squint hard enough. But phase two takes everything you thought you knew about Lies of P and laughs in your face. His relentless area attacks and combos are so over-the-top you can almost hear the echoes of dev laughter. Victory here demands mastery of P’s toolkit.

The cherry on top? The King’s smug little smirk every time you die.

Honorable Mention

Shout-out to your own confidence for being the silent victim here. Lies of P Overture’s bosses don’t pull punches, and even the “easier” ones will probably make you question why you thought you’d signed up for a relaxing gaming night.

Concluding Thoughts – Who Needs Sanity Anyway?

The hardest bosses in Lies of P Overture aren’t just obstacles; they’re lessons in persistence, adaptability, and humility. Mastering each fight feels as rewarding as it is maddening. Whether you’re savoring the adrenaline rush of finally taking down The Puppet Overlord or screaming as the Marionette King erases you for the 12th time in a row, remember one thing: you’re not just playing; you’re surviving.

Now, go forth, brave puppeteer. But maybe keep a stress ball nearby… just in case.
