Basic enemy variety

[SaltHuntress]

Im wondering if the basic enemies will get more interesting/ varied. I just beat the bishop and its still mostly the same guys that die in 2-3 hits and have very similar movesets to the earlier enemies.

Enemy variety in this game is not particularly high, no, especially when compared to something like Elden Ring.

However, they do switch between enemy types in very creative manners and utilise particularly miniboss monsters exceptionally well. For instance, later in the game you encounter a particularly gruesome puppet miniboss en route to a level boss that is hellish to beat.

That same type of miniboss then ambushes you 5+ hours later in a completely unrelated area with a different theme and it is even more horrifying the second time.

LoP is fairly low budget in its enemy variety, but gets a lot of mileage out of them due to tricks like this.

Thanks for the reply gungadin!

You're welcome, hope you keep at it. LoP is entirely linear and much shorter, but I feel that it's combat puts Elden Ring's to shame, particularly in later bossfights.

I like the enemies so far, you have puppets of all kinds to be fair, there are some nasty surprises here and there, some enemies are worse than bosses imo, bosses so far are hard to beat if you dont summon that specter, did they add that easy mode later?

[gungadin22000]

LoP doesn't really have an official easy mode, no, although some folks say that easy mode is "using tons of throwables."

Because unlike Fromsoft games, throwables here actually do very good damage and status effect buildup. Most cheese guides recommend abusing the hell out of them. There is a merchant in the Malum District who sells unlimited numbers of all throwables.

Summons have been in day 1. They will carry you through NG and then get absolutely shat on in NG+. No different than the other souls likes out there.
