Everything Lies of P Patch 1.2.0 Fixes and Changes

The biggest change is the slight nerfing of three bosses, Fallen Archbishop Andreus, the King of Puppets and another one that’s kind of spoilery. They’re still capable of punting P’s mechanical head into orbit but they’ve all had their health points reduced. Also, the Specter, your AI help, does more damage and has more health, which should also help with tricky bosses. That said, the patch reduces the chance of Star Fragments being dropped, which is what you use to actually summon the Specter.

Raising your Capacity stat now allows you to carry even more. Why is this important? Because being even ‘slightly heavy’ means your stamina refills a little slower. And given that stamina is also used when you block, that can really count in a boss fight. Ergo items, such as Radiant Ergo and so on now drop more often. That means you should be able to level up more quickly.
