11. Markiona, Puppeteer of Death - Lies of P: Overture
The sure highlight of Lies of P's Overture expansion is Markiona, Puppeteer of Death - a hellacious boss who more than lives up to the sheer awesomeness of her name.
The best boss in Overture and one of the mightiest in Lies of P as a whole, Markiona is basically a quintessential Soulslike duos fight which requires players to focus their attention on Markiona and her puppet simultaneously.
It's quite the juggling act, ensuring that this battle serves as quite the sturdy brick wall for many players.
You'll need to attack and defend against both enemies at once, and be wary of how their attacks are changed up in the fight's second phase.
Despite being only the second boss in the Overture DLC, Markiona is one of the very toughest you'll face, yet ultimately also the most fun to topple considering the free-wheeling invention on display throughout the battle.
It's a fight which encourages experimentation as you try again and again until you finally figure out how to answer each of Markiona's attacks - ever the sign of a brilliantly designed boss battle.
