How to Beat Markiona Puppeteer Of Death Boss in Lies Of P Overtune
Phase 1: Dealing with Both Enemies
At the start, both Markiona and her puppet attack together. The puppet rushes at you first, so get ready to block or dodge right away.
Keep both Markiona and the puppet in your view to avoid surprise hits. Use the Electric Coil Stick for the puppet since it is weak to electric attacks.
Hit the puppet with electric throwables or Electric Blitz Abrasive if you have them. When you see Markiona open, switch to the Acidic Crystal Spear or use fire weapons, since she takes more damage from acid and fire.
Save your strongest throwables for later, but use Thermite or acid bombs if you see a good chance to hit Markiona.
Try not to focus only on the puppet. If you take it down, Markiona will try to heal it. That’s your chance to attack her hard. Watch her moves and don’t get greedy—hit her when she is open, then get ready to block or dodge again.
Phase 2: Markiona Gets Stronger
When Markiona glows gold, the fight changes. She starts flying and her puppet does strong charge attacks. Run in one direction and roll at the last second to dodge these charges.
She begins with Golden Assault, where the puppet charges three times, each hit ending in an explosion. Dodge twice for every hit, then sidestep the last explosion to stay safe.
Now, her orb magic mixes with even more puppet attacks. Orb combos might have extra sweeps, and sometimes the puppet will jump slam right after an orb spin. If you see her use Golden Defense, do not try to attack. Use this time to heal up or put buffs on your weapon.
The puppet will also try to trick you with a slow wind-up, then suddenly slam down after a short delay. When you see this, wait a few seconds, then get ready to dodge or parry at the last moment.
If you want to stay safe, use the Pandemonium Legion Arm for ranged attacks while you wait for a good chance to move in.
With these tips, you can handle everything phase two throws at you and finish the fight strong.
