The pinnacle of all living beings, Champion Victor, is a boss you must fight in Lies of P and beat by avoiding their highly damaging physical attacks.
A hulking human modified by the Alchemists, Champion Victor is a boss in Lies of P you must beat in the Grand Exhibition Conference Room to continue your adventures through Krat. This Frankenstein-inspired being has two short but brutal phases you have to overcome. Similar to the classic monster, this boss has a single weakness you can exploit to make the fight much easier.
Champion Victor shares many similarities to the Door Guardian boss in Lies of P, who happens to be another giant human who fights with strong physical attacks. You have the ability to spend a Star Fragment to summon a Specter NPC to battle Victor with you. This companion of sorts not only can deal some damage to the boss on their own, but it also serves as an excellent distraction that allows you to land more hits against Victor.
How to Defeat Champion Victor in Lies of P
Fire damage is the best way to defeat Champion Victor, especially during the boss’ second phase. Victor’s attacks in both phases are traditional punches, kicks, and slams that all utilize the augmented human’s overwhelming strength.
Champion Victor Move List | ||
|---|---|---|
Attack | Description | How to Beat |
Swinging Punch | Victor throws a normal punch from the side. | Dodge the attack or Block it. |
Leaping Stomp | After jumping into the air, Victor lands back down with a massive Stomp. | Wait for Victor to jump before using a Dodge to move out of the way of the boss landing. You can strike immediately as Victor recovers from this attack. |
Standing Stomp | Victor raises their foot before stomping it into the ground. | Move away from the raised foot or Dodge the stomp as the foot goes down. |
Double Fist Smash | Raising both fists in the air together, Victor slams both into a spot in front of him. | Dodge backward as the fists are about to strike, then attack. |
Uppercut Punch | Victor swings their fist from a low spot up toward the air with surprising speed. | As Victor pulls their fist back, Move away to avoid the fast Uppercut. |
Flurry of Blows | Advancing toward you, Victor swings their fists rapidly one after another in a devastating combo attack. If the boss glows red, this becomes a Fury Attack. | You can Perfect Guard the Fury Attack to stop Victor and land some hits. You may also Block each attack or Move away. |
Grab & Smash | Victor grabs Pinocchio before punching you over and over, finishing with an unavoidable stomp. | Victor holds out a post with their palms up right before doing this attack. Watch for this and Move away to stay out of Victor’s range for the grab. |
Jumping Punch | After jumping up, Victor swings their fist down to punch as they land back in the arena. | Dodge the punching fist as Victor lands, then land a hit or two while the boss recovers. |
Victor’s second phase has the same moves as before, only this time with much more aggression and less recovery on certain attacks. Stick to your strategy in phase 1, while watching for when the boss’ health bar turns white to indicate a stagger, which allows you to perform a Fatal Attack on Victor. Once you manage to beat Champion Victor in Lies of P, you’ll be rewarded with the Reborn Champion’s Rare Ergo.

- Summary:
- Following in the footsteps of games similar to Bloodborne, Lies of P is an action-RPG adventure game with heavy Souls-like influences. Loosely based on the tale of Pinocchio, Lies of P throws players into the shoes of the reimagined wooden boy as a puppet mechanoid as he wakes up in a city devoid of life. Pinocchio has only one clue as to what’s happening to him; a single note telling him to find Mr. Gepetto. Players will battle through the city of Krat free of humans as they struggle against other mechanical and hellish monsters that await them at every turn. To face these threats, players can craft various weapons using devices found throughout the city and gain new attachments to improve traversal. The ending can be significantly affected depending on the player’s narrative and action-based choices. Lies of P will be released on current and next-gen consoles and PC sometime in 2023.
