Bullshit game, fake difficulty, sadistic devs, pls nerf

I agree, though I didn’t end up using those features in retrospect I should have. And I think Lies of P is the best soulslike I’ve ever played. (Apparently it’s also easier if you play anything other than the build I chose, oops).
Another Crab’s Treasure does it well too with a lot of different accessibility settings! It also is more linear so you can get really really roadblocked with nowhere else to go and nothing to do except best your head against the wall. I did resort to the Glock accessibility setting in Another Crab’s Treasure for one boss.
Let me guess - you did a strength build on that little guy
Some of the bosses seem like a huge pain in the ass if you have a slower weapon
I struggled with the final boss of the expansion enough to
the difficulty button. There were a handful of the bosses I found annoying enough in NG+ that I did it too lol.
I still need to check out Another Crab’s Treasure - it looks super cute.
Dex build actually, because I thought a strength build on the little guy would just look too silly. I loved the moveset of the starting rapier so much I stuck with it for the entire game, occasionally swapping to the tyrant slayer’s dagger for boss fights or really big and tough enemies because I liked the drip of taking down bosses with a weapon named that.
I also didn’t bother with swapping weapon handles because it would mess with the moveset and therefore the aesthetics, and this game is heavy on aesthetics and style. I kind of Fashion Souls’d myself out of a core mechanic of the game. I tried, mind you, like when I was struggling with one boss in particular I looked for advice on how to fight her and “longspear handle + acid spear tip” was the consistent answer. I tried, but the moveset was not aesthetic, so I went back to ol’ (un)reliable
I gifted a friend the game, he went with an arcane build because he likes magic stuff, and he breezed through it. I felt a little bad for him that he found it so easy actually. Part of the joy of these games is the struggle.
You missed out on combining the Wintry Rapier blade with the Tyrant Murder’s Dagger handle lol. I think the lack of weapon experimentation is where you got the added difficulty. I had a handful of weapon combos for a Dex build (lots of the Booster Glaive handle), and ended up using the katana
in the end of the game, but didn’t struggle too much.
