How to Start Lies of P Overture DLC

To access *Lies of P: Overture*, ensure you’ve completed the main story and restored the **Hotel Stargazer** in Chapter 9. This unlocks the **Forgotten Time**—a new area housing all DLC content like boss gauntlets, difficulty settings, and fresh narrative arcs.

Accessing the Overture DLC

  • Complete the Base Game: Progress to Chapter 9 and fix the Hotel Stargazer. Without this, the DLC remains inaccessible.
  • Enter the Forgotten Time: After repairing the Stargazer, the new area becomes available from the hotel.
  • Purchase Required: The DLC isn’t free—make sure you’ve bought it separately.

Key DLC Features

Boss Rematches

  • Death March: Endure a brutal, multi-boss sequence with restricted healing and health.

To trigger these rematches, finish the main story and use the Hotel Stargazer post-credits.
