A Lies of P expert with only a wrench in hand has beaten the Soulslike action-RPG without dying or using a single consumable item.
The insurmountable challenge was undertaken by streamer Parkenharbor, and the whole thing culminated in the great clip below. That’s right: they beat Lies of P without using a special Fable Art, Legion Arm, or Summon ability, while also not dying and without using up a single consumable item. The game is barely three months old, for Christ’s sake.
Parkenharbor beat Lies of P with nothing but their dodging skills, and the Big Pipe Wrench. Although, for what it’s worth, we’d be remiss not to point out that the Big Pipe Wrench has a lot of fans out there in the Lies of P community, with some onRedditclaiming the weapon can even one-shot minibosses.
Oh, and the entire thing was accomplished in just over six hours.HowLongToBeathas the critical path for Lies of P, taking just over 30 hours for the average player, if you want to know just how impressive this is. Then again, this is the streamer who can beat Sekiro: Shadows Die Twicein just over 31 minutes, so yes, they know what they’re doing when it comes to speedrunning.
I think what’s really sublime about this speedrun, aside from the whole not dying business, is the fact that Parkenharbor never uses a Legion Arm ability. It’s quite literally playing the game one-handed. Keep an eye on Parkenharbor’sYouTube channelif you’re after some very creative speedruns, including two-player Soulsborne speedruns, and two players using one controller.
