Revolutionizing the Boss Battle Experience in Future FromSoftware Souls Games
FromSoftware's Soulslike games are known for their challenging boss battles, but retrieving currency can be a frustrating distraction The Lies of P demo offers a solution by allowing players to focus solely on the fight, making for a more satisfying experience
Players no longer have to deal with camera issues during boss battles, thanks to the improved camera system in Lies of P. This allows for a more immersive and enjoyable experience, as players can focus on combat mechanics and strategy without feeling hindered by technical difficulties. The bosses themselves are also unique in design and behavior, adding to the game's overall sense of originality.
Retrieving Currency Has Always Been A Problem In FromSoftware Boss Fights
FromSoftware is notoriously known for its challenging boss fights that push players to their limits. From Ornstein and Smough in Dark Souls to Gehrman, the First Hunter in Bloodborne, these enemies require a combination of skill and patience to defeat. However, the road to victory is paved with multiple deaths and defeats, making the catharsis of finally overcoming them all the more satisfying.
In these Soulslike games, dying means losing all the accumulated Souls, Blood Echoes, Runes, or Sen, depending on the game. Players are given one chance to retrieve their lost currency, but failing to do so before dying again results in permanent loss. It's a harsh system that adds to the already high stakes of the game.
Retrieving currency after a boss fight can pose a challenge for players, especially when faced with a bloodthirsty enemy on the way. Whether it's a formidable giant like Yhorm The Giant from Dark Souls 3 or a nimble opponent such as Elden Ring's Malenia, Blade of Miquella, players must remain vigilant and aware of their surroundings to safely retrieve their progress. Boss fights in FromSoftware's Soulslike games are often complex, featuring multiple foes or arena environments that change throughout the battle. The fight against Rom The Vacuous Spider in Bloodborne is a prime example of this, requiring players to navigate the treacherous Moonside Lake while fending off Rom's spider minions at various intervals.

By removing this age-old FromSoftware problem, players can fully immerse themselves in the game and take advantage of every opportunity to succeed, especially when facing the challenging bosses that Lies of P has to offer.
