Lumacchio, a late-game boss in the Lies of P: Overture DLC, ironically condemns violence while unleashing devastating attacks. His key weaknesses include:
- Fire damage
- Backstab vulnerabilities
- Stagger opportunities
Phase One Tactics:Exploit Openings
- Fast weapon builds like the Acid Crystal Spear dominate here. Strike during his post-attack pauses for guaranteed backstabs.
- Parry his red charge attack, then punish with another backstab.
- When he raises his umbrella, immediately flank him for a counter.
Range Advantage
- Throw Shot Puts when his health bar glows white to safely stagger him.
Phase Two: Burn Through Defenses
- Swap to fire-infused weapons like the Salamander Dagger or equip the Flamethrower Legion Arm.
- Counter decay buildup with Purification Ampules.
- Use Puppet String for aggressive combos or Aegis to block stronger attacks.
- Stock Repair Tools to maintain weapon durability.
