Im back. First of all: really nice video. Great ranking and great reasoning behind all placements. Personally I loved the Rosa Isabelle street in its entirety and would’ve placed it in the top 3 while removing the Arche Abbey from it because that last area disappointed me in two big ways. 1) the overall theme was awkward in comparison to the rest of the game and changed from robot stuff to ancient temple out of nowhere. But my biggest problem with that area is the aesthetic itself. At the top it looks beautiful but everywhere else it’s just dark and foggy. It looks like one of these lower budget souls where they put stone walls and fog everywhere to not having to design a proper background. From a final area I expect stunning visuals but to me it’s probably the ugliest area in the entire game before fighting Laxasia and making the weather change. 2) Then there are the enemies. I didn’t like how there weren’t any new one expept, again, for the pretty good top part. In a finale I expect sensory overload but instead got older enemies we’ve already seen a dozen of times before, making the first half rather boring. Also placing puppets from the trainstation and clown ones there didn’t really make sense to me. It’s probably because the Romeo made them attack the island but to me it didn’t feel like a war but rather randomly placed enemy types. Also not another argument but an random thought which I think would enhance the finale where if you’d somehow be able to rebuild and recruit former bosses to fight against the alchemists. I imagine a scenario where the war in front of the castle doors would be way way bigger. You fight together with first phase Fuoco against the big monster. I think this would work at least technically because his attacks were rather basic. A scenario where you would team up with the puppets by having certain story requirements would be amazing.

I think that goes against Lies of P's main design philosophy though. The level-design & world design showed that they were going for a linear experience. They didn't want players doing things out of order, and ramped up the challenge to accommodate with each new area. For the sequel, I think they have more opportunities to go with a more open-ended level design/world design given what they're potentially adapting next.

Its levels were quite linear but had a lot of winding pathways and interconnected sections of levels with shortcuts and side paths here and there. It had really cool visuals and a theme of crystallized giant thorns protruding from the earth, while you explore the deranged and destroyed remains. The story was very in-depth. The character creation system and blood code system in it were also 👌

The levels are visually stunning and the overall design is really good, but my only problems are that i didn't like a lot of the enemy placements and how a lot of the fights were in cramped spaces (I also hated the cathedral's platforming section). I don't think it ever got as bad as some of the worst enemy placements in the Fromsoft games, like the 5 Harald knights in the Ringed City or the gank sharks in Bloodborne, but it definitely did lower my enjoyment of the areas quite a bit. Still, its an amazing game, and a very solid 8.5 or 9/10 despite my gripes. By the way, for the shield enemies, you can just use the left arm of steel Legion Arm to stagger them immediately when they're guarding (if i remember correctly).

About the breakable bridges complaint and especially the one in the swamp over a death pit: There are two types of breakable bridges/floors. The first type is the type that drops you into a new or secret area, where you'll find a chest or item or something. This type of breakable floor/bridge will break under you, causing you to fall. The other type are the breakable bridges that have either a death pit or a previous area under them, meaning that falling in them will be bad for you. The thing is, this second type is programmed so it only breaks after you cross it. But there's what I can only assume is a bug: if you suspect that the bridge wil break and you jump, the bridge will break as soon as you jump, creating the illusion that the bridge would have broken under you and killed you. But that's not the case, you can test it yourself. Go to that bridge over a death pit in the swamp and just walk over it. It will not break until you have crossed it. But if you jump, it breaks immediatly, even causing you to die if you jump too early. So, that bridge was never meant to kill the player, but a bug with jumping causes it to sometimes do just that. If you don't want to test it, there's a video example in my channel of how this kind of breakable bridge works (you can skip to 0:30)

I beat this game for the 1st time yesterday and loved nearly every area I do have a question about difficulty though how did people do against bosses? because everywhere I look I see people saying this game is harder then other souls like games and I don't really understand why

I'm glad people are talking about this game's level design. It's something I find really makes or breaks these types of games. Soulslikes are not just bosses and bonfires. Luckily the areas in this game are very satisfying to traverse, and they all surprisingly correlate naturally to the world. That big moment where you get back to the Hotel from the Malum District is super satisfying, but it wasn't until my third playthrough that I spent time trying to piece out where every stage was in the world and if it made geographical sense. Turns out it did! This game's great

If I remember correctly, Relic was originally supposed to be longer but it was cut down for pacing considering how close to the end game you are.

I had absolutely no idea you could lock on to the puppet hanging from the Alchemist Bridge after getting the first cryptic vessel. I've spent like 4 playthroughs Kobe-ing gears at it.

Top 5 for me 5.lorenzi arcade and grand exhibition 4.Venigi works 3.Krat central station 2.Rosa Isabelle street 1.Arche abbey And I always found chapter 10 to be a demo for chapter 11 If that makes sense It’s basically the shortest area in the game and is just used to finish up some plot points like the reveal with geppetto and Alidoro and finishing off the black rabbit brotherhood

I'm just watching these videos because I finished the game 4 times now and have no reason to play again anymore, but I'm not ready to let it go. Can't wait for the DLC! P.S. they really changed a bunch of things with patches. I hadn't encountered breakable bridges in the scrapyard and could hide mid-slide from the rolling balls in the cathedral, f.e.

Just a correction... - There are 4 types of enemies in the game, not just 3. Puppets, Carcasses, Humans *and* Monsters.

My favorite area is the opera house. The way the very cool enemies fit the theme of the level along with the dueling male and female opera singers in the background. Mwwwwaaahh!!!

Could always be DLC of some kind? The Isle of the Alchemists was on an Island so maybe they had it covered there? My Pinocchio knowledge is actually not that great, so I have no idea lol

I gave up on Sekiro before getting very far because I just couldn't get a handle on the parrying system. But with Lies of P I've become fairly decent at perfect blocks. May have to try Sekiro again and see if the skills transfer over.

You put my least favourite area of the game at number 1 haha. I beat this game 3 times for the platinum and dreaded the final area every time. Just annoying level design from a gameplay perspective and annoying enemy combinations. Visually it's cool though, and it has the final bosses of the game which are excellent.

I personally liked Elysion Boulevard as one of my favourite areas, perhaps 4th after The Grand Exhibition, Krat Central Station (both incarnations) and Rosa Isabelle Street. I love Arche Abbey for its size but the overall design feels dull when compared with the intricate nature of Krat city and any area that I returned to Krat was a warm welcome (apart from the murderous puppets).

16:27 Well, I'll be darned. Thought I did pretty much everything in the game, but I never met Belle in my playthrough of the game. Never knew that was a thing. Wonder if I missed anything else? 24:36 Funnily enough, I found that location and thought it looked important but couldn't figure it out. I guess since I never found Belle, it was empty. Now I know why.

Thanks for this video. I’ve just platinumed the game but didn’t pick up on half the lore you talk about. The balls rolling down doesn’t require pixel perfect timing. All you have to do is stand on the right side and it won’t hit you.

I do wish the alcove to avoid the balls was more pronounced though. To me, it just looked like another part of the track where the hitbox would get you.

Arche Abbey has its moments but its mostly a huge slog through a generic and somewhat random stone castle at the end of the game that feels very separate from the other areas of Krat. Its a good thing combat and bosses are engaging because the level itself doesn't do anything appealing until you get past the second area boss and things pick up on the story end a bit.
@BillySYT
11 ай бұрын
I guess it's fully dependant on what people enjoy. I think the stone castle setting makes a ton of sense, when you think about the history of Alchemists in the medieval ages & beyond. They've always been very stone fortresses & ancient places. I just don't see how the level could have done more to make itself appealing. It has interesting setups, varied objective design in the different indoor rooms.

Ill be honest, i was personally hoping that alchemist isle was going to be based on pleasure island and be this sprawling evil lab built under an abandoned theme park. Getting there only to see a generic ancient tower was kind of a dissapointement.
