Lies of P Overture DLC: Two-Faced Overseer Boss Guide

Though slower than Veronique and less chaotic than Markiona, the **Two-Faced Overseer** compensates with devastating damage and an enormous health bar. Underestimating his brute strength can lead to a swift defeat.

Below is a structured breakdown of strategies to overcome him, including gear recommendations and phase-specific tactics.

Essential Gear and Grindstone Choices

**The base game grindstone is your most valuable tool**—it simplifies perfect guarding and allows safe parrying of his punishing strikes.

Activate it only after his **red glow phase begins**
Avoid using other consumables early in the battle
Rely on blocking, as he lacks unblockable grabs

**Weapon Recommendation**: The Free DLC Glaive excels with its charged heavy attacks, which deal significant stagger damage. Pair it with Fable Arts for maximum impact during openings.

Phase One: Master the Basics

Focus on fundamentals during the initial phase:

Hold off on grindstone usage
Study his attack rhythms
Mitigate chip damage via guarding and Regain recovery
Only commit to light attacks when safe

**Key Signal**: His red glow marks the transition to phase two—prepare to intensify your strategy.

Phase Two: Aggressive Parrying

Once phase two begins:

Immediately deploy the Perfection Grindstone
Perfect-parry every attack in his combo chains
Counter with charged heavies to accelerate stagger buildup

**Survival Tips**:

He has **one predictable Fury Attack**
Most moves are blockable or dodgeable
Avoid getting cornered to prevent quick demise

**During Stagger Windows**:

Unleash your strongest attacks
Refresh grindstones or sharpen weapons as he recovers

Never delay weapon sharpening—execute it immediately after stagger phases or safe moments.

Pro Tips for Victory

Prioritize parrying over dodging to increase stagger rates
Reserve grindstones for phase transitions
Maintain mobility to avoid environmental traps
Deploy Fable Arts post-parry or during stagger recovery
