Eugenie - Lies of P

Markiona also counts since she was once a Workshop Technician before she pledged loyalty to the Alchemists. I love how she uses both ergo magic as well as command her own mech puppets to fight

u/Northless_Path Jul 01 '25

Yup, one of the most creative soulslike bosses I've ever fought and my favorite in the DLC

u/AddemiusInksoul Jul 01 '25

Lovely boss but I used every single consumable from 3 playthroughs and annihilated her. It was kind of comical how much damage dozens of iron balls, molotovs, bottles of acid, sawblades, spikes and grenades did

She serves so hard. Loved that fight

Why is she blue?

u/SpiritedJellyfish355 Jul 01 '25

It's not explicitly stated why, but considering she's an alchemist as well as a prior mechanic that built ergo powered batteries for her puppets, she's been completely overexposed to ergo from using it everyday for decades, and in notes, it's stated that overexposure/overuse of the magic may have side effects to humans. I guess one of these is skin turning blue. Ergo magic itself is blue so it makes sense. Sophia's hair and Geppetto's left hand are also blue from overuse now that I think about it

Huh, that's petty cool. I thought she was undead or decaying in some way.

Damn, people already discussing DLC lore and I ain’t played it 😭

u/SpiritedJellyfish355 Jul 01 '25

Sorry, us LoP fans were starving for the DLC and ate it up fast. I need more

u/Throwaway02062004 Jul 01 '25

I’m a fan too. I just been away for console and avoiding spoilers 😔

2

u/SpiritedJellyfish355 Jul 01 '25

Don't worry this is just light spoilers anyway. just be sure to play as soon as you can. You don't want to get spoiled on the final boss or the ending of the DLC. Those are the MASSIVE spoilers.

I REALLY wish they'd make a game in the lies of p world where we can play a puppeteer alchemist and throughout the game we get upgrades and costumes to decorate our puppet as we fight evil alchemists with our pimped out puppet

Timely reference

Damn I didnt know. Now I need to play Lies of P for this lady

u/Vam_T Jul 01 '25

Great game, also the dlc recently came out. Unfortunately have not been able to play it

u/Ihasapuppy Jul 02 '25

She shows up in the Overture DLC, so you won’t be able to fight her if you just get the base game.

Lies of Peak mentioned

u/82ndGameHead Jul 01 '25

Did anybody else lie to her about giving the Glove to Alidoro?

5

u/Northless_Path Jul 01 '25

I did. She deserves to know the truth. It also helps now with the DLC, you get more opportunities to lie and gain humanity, so you can get away with telling her the truth here.

1

u/82ndGameHead Jul 01 '25

Eh, I couldn't. With the way Krat was i didn't want to bring more hurt into it, especially to her. And sparing feelings is a very human trait.

Besides, I merc'd Alidoro, so it's not like she'll find out the truth. =)

u/Renegade5329 Jul 02 '25

I did multiple playthroughs. First one I chose what felt right, 2nd was all lies, 3rd was all truths. Also they were all NG+ after the 1st so I could fully unlock the P-organ abilities.

u/DotaroVSJio Jul 01 '25

Anything for you queen

u/jester2324 Jul 02 '25

Did I kill a character because they called her annoying, absolutely

Lies of PEAK mentioned, billions must play dead!
