In the world of Lies of P, the "King's Flame Fuoco" boss is considered one of the toughest opponents players face during their first playthrough of the game. Unlike previous foes, this boss combines attacks to confuse and disorient players before sending them back to the nearest Stargazer. While not an impossible battle, it's definitely a challenging one.
To defeat "King's Flame Fuoco" in Lies of P, it will take several attempts and a well-thought-out strategy to emerge victorious from this boss fight. This article provides a brief guide outlining the key aspects of battling Fuoco, along with some tips to make this encounter a bit more manageable.
Prepare for the Fight
Before entering the battle, players will need a weapon at level +3. To achieve this, gather a sufficient number of Hidden Moonstones at the factory and visit Eugene at the "Krat" hotel. Any weapon will suffice as long as you feel comfortable using it.
Additionally, don't forget to acquire the standard radiation converter "Union Workshop" from the Stargazer in the boss room. This item increases your resistance to Fuoco's fire attacks and will prove highly beneficial.
Battle Tactics
Fuoco employs several basic attacks using his fiery hammer hand, which can be parried or blocked. However, he frequently changes the direction of his attacks, sometimes transitioning to a quick strike unexpectedly. Be prepared to block, as the health lost from blocking can be restored by counterattacking Fuoco.
When Fuoco's health reaches approximately halfway, he will begin spewing flames over a large area. During this phase, retreat as far away from the boss as possible and take cover behind one of the pipes to avoid being engulfed in flames. Then, resume the battle in the usual manner, but be cautious of his new attacks.
Fuoco will also use his unblockable attack more frequently, so be prepared to either anticipate it or parry the strike to avoid taking damage.
Utilize Specter
If the situation becomes too complex, don't hesitate to summon Specter to assist in the battle. This NPC will draw Fuoco's attention and allow you to attack more aggressively. However, keep in mind that Specter is likely to have a limited presence in the second phase of the battle due to Fuoco's AoE attacks.
Additional Tips
- Fuoco's long-range attacks can be blocked.
- After blocking an attack, you'll have an opportunity for a counterattack, so use charged heavy attacks.
- Get close to Fuoco to reduce the chance of his long-range attacks hitting you.
- The Booster Glaive handle is excellent for closing the distance and attacking Fuoco.
- Throwing cells and canisters with electrical blitz are effective against Fuoco.
By following these tips and developing a solid strategy, players can successfully overcome the "King's Flame Fuoco" boss in Lies of P. Remember to train your character and experiment with different combat styles to find the best approach to this thrilling showdown. Good luck!
