Lies of P: King’s Flame Fuoco Boss Guide
First, players will want a +3 weapon. Gather enough Hidden Moonstones from the factory and visit Eugenie at Hotel Krat. Any weapon will do here so long as players are comfortable using it.
Next, make sure to grab theWorkshop Union Standard Radiation Converternear the Stargazer outside the boss room. The shovel-wielding robot in the middle of the large room carries it. Destroy the robot to claim the item. The Radiation Converter increases the player’s Heat resistance, and it’ll come in handy against Fuoco’s flame-based attacks.
As for the boss itself, it has a few basic moves with its hammer arm that arerelatively easy to parry. The kicker here is that it often changes the direction it swings from, and sometimes, Fuoco faints its arm swing into a quick kick that can catch a lot of people off-guard. Don’t be afraid toblock, as any lost health while blocking can still berecovered by landing hits.
At around half HP, Fuoco will pause and start belching out flames over a wide area. When it does this, run as far away from the boss as possible and hide behind one of the pipes to prevent Overheat from filling up. Then, resume the fight as normal, but beware of a few new attacks.
Fuoco will start using its flame-blasting left arm, and it will occasionally do its AoE fire attack again. The boss will also use its unblockable attack more often, so players will either have to outrun it or parry the hit perfectly to avoid damage.
If things get too frustrating, don’t be afraid to summon a Specter to help with the battle. The NPC will steal the boss' attention away, letting playersattack a bit more recklessly. Don’t expect the Specter to last long in the second phase, however, as Fuoco’s AoE attacks will likely do a number on it.
