Players can encounter a variety of enemies in "Lies of P," including challenging bosses that will test your skills and mastery of the game's mechanics.
One of the bosses in this soulslike game is the Door Guardian, which is fought in an area that is devoid of light and joy. What makes this boss battle noteworthy is that unlike other bosses, who are fast-paced and fun, the Door Guardian battle is a test of patience.
Despite this, the fight itself is not really all that difficult compared to other bosses in "Lies of P" and is mostly just a test of how long you're willing to spend. This guide offers a general guideline of what you need to keep in mind to defeat the Door Guardian boss.
Where To Find the Door Guardian
First things first, this particular boss in "Lies of P" can be found at the entrance to the Arche Abbey, which is the final area in the game. It covers the path from the Black Seaside to the Ascension Bridge, according to Dual Shockers.
This means that players will have to pass the Black Seaside before they can get to the Abbey and will be forced to face off against a variety of creatures.
Approaching the Arche Abbey, you should go up the stairs at the outer walls to get to the chamber with the Door Guardian boss.
It is recommended to clear this area of other enemies first so that you can focus on the boss himself. This is also useful because these lesser creatures will not respawn if you die to the boss and go back for another run.
How To Defeat the Door Guardian
This particular boss' attacks are relatively easy to handle as there are not many that can catch you off-guard.
However, some of the boss' attacks deal devastating damage and add Shock build-up, which reduces your Stamina regen and defensive options, according to The Gamer.
The main thing you need to remember is to learn the Door Guardian's attack pattern and combos to dodge appropriately. While the majority of the boss's combos are consistent, there are some that can include extended attacks.
You should keep an eye out for four attacks in particular, as they give you a large opening to counterattack. These are the Power Slam attack, the Fury Guardian combo, the Jumping Hammer attack, and the Stomp combo.
Recommended Weapons and Items
Due to the fact that the Door Guardian boss is one of the hardest-hitting enemies in "Lies of P," you need to have powerful equipment to survive his attacks and deal significant damage. One option for a tool to use in this fight is the Bone-Cutting Saw.
This is a Motivity weapon that has a longer reach than most players expect when using it. This is good because the Door Guardian boss has mostly melee attacks, which means you can keep yourself at a distance to avoid getting decimated.
On the other hand, the best Legion Arms to use in the fight are the Puppet String or Aegis to provide you with greater mobility or higher defense.
The former is good for hit-and-run tactics, while the Aegis gives players a shield that reduces damage taken, according to Screen Rant.
