Lies of P — Max. Level vs Boss Rematch (Difficulty 5, All Bosses)

Описание: Maximum character level (561), the maximum number of Quartz upgrades minus one, because I read that "Perfect Guard Causes Stiffness" was bad. In retrospect, with the Monad Rose Sword, I really doubt that it is!

A very messy set of fights, done in a haphazard order, identifiable by how much I use items in each :) — indeed, I found out very late that, on top of having a veritable mountain of consumables coming in, they are actually *completely free* while in this mode!

My gripe with this game's design is the way that Perfect Guard serves to give a very definite skill ceiling, especially as it keeps growing stronger with upgrades, but I see now that the toughest challenge presented by the developers simply isn't so great that one needs to put the time in to learn to deflect. Arlecchino was the hardest by far, and I still found it sensible to backstep, instead. So, hey... good risk/reward design, perhaps? Neat!

Time taken: ~35 hours for the first playthrough on Legendary Stalker. Then, ~53 hours of playing NG+1, NG+2, and NG+3 on Butterfly's Guidance to level up and collect Quartz. Then, 8 hours of Boss Rematch.

Played on a standard mouse and keyboard.
