Lies of P’s Overture DLC Patched to Rebalance and Reduce Monster Difficulty, After Complaints It Was Too Hard

Lies of P‘s DLC has been patched to reduce monster difficulty in repeat playthroughs and “adjusted stats” for some of the field monsters you encounter in your first playthrough of Overture.

Director Jiwon Choi previously said the team didn’t think Soulslike games like Lies of P should have difficulty options, and it shipped without any, but has since had a change of heart, saying: “We wanted to make sure a wider audience of players could play the game.”

Similarly, players have complained about the DLC’s “intended” difficulty, Legendary Stalker. There have been so many comments — both for and against the DLC’s difficulty spike — that the Lies of P subreddit has had to merge them all into a “megathread” to stop the community from being overwhelmed by complaints. It prompted developer Neowiz to acknowledge that some areas “did not turn out quite as intended.”
