It is simple to overlook how helpful consumables and throwables may be in a Soulslike – the enjoyable is whacking enemies together with your hammers, slashing them with swords, and extra. However don’t sleep on these things in Lies of P. On the consumables facet, you may be compelled to make use of them as you battle enemies that may rapidly inflict Overheat, Shock, Corruption, and extra, all results you will wish to do away with ASAP. Some objects do exactly that, and a few objects make it tougher for enemies to inflict these statuses on you. Use them.
And on the throwables facet, you will choose up varied objects that inflict those self same standing results on enemies. Your Legion Arm and Grindstone can do the identical factor, however these require a little bit extra effort and time, whereas tossing the equal of an electrical grenade to inflict Electrical Shock on an enemy is fast (and you are able to do it from far-off, too).
Don’t hoard these things – you will get many and may use them.
