Simon imprisoned Geppetto during the climax of the story, his second phase design includes what looks like a human arm desperately reaching out of a sharp-toothed maw, and his middle name is "Pistris" (a word for "sea monster"). For those wondering where the Monstro-themed boss fight is, there's your answer.
He also duped desperate people to serve him by promising their heart’s desires, only to spirit them away to an island where they lose their humanity and made into beings that exist only to serve the Alchemist’s ends. He’s one part Monstro, one part Coachman.
I think the Submarine is Monstro, because the sub got grounded like Monstro grounded himself in the Disney film, while Simon represents the shark from the original telling. I say this because just as the Submarine brought Pinocchio to his destination, Disney tries to be as kid friendly as possible nowadays. I say this because we meet characters in the game that weren't in the Disney movie.
It’s kinda interesting to me that Coachman + Monstro (two most iconic villains from Pinocchio after the fox and the cat) get sorta smashed together instead of some sorta unique fight.
So Simon MANUS has one obscenely large arm? I feel like I’ve seen this somewhere… He is also intertwined with a deity-like hand entity. Almost like the hand of god hovering above
That's the only comment that's actually fair in this comment section. That red attack that unlocks the cam is more of a problem than the high health and damage of a FINAL BOSS
He’s only the final boss of one out of 3 endings so I’d consider Nameless Puppet the “true” final boss. And in my opinion, NP is a far better fight than this one. More challenging and fun to learn.
@@t-real9054 I had a way harder time on NP, but I think how different people consider different bosses harder is part of what makes these kind of games so interesting
This is the third best boss fight in the game! I loved it so much. Neowiz did an amazing job on a game. I'd go as far to say that this game is perfect. It's my favorite game of all time 10/10. I've been recommending this to everyone.
05:01 I think this is the best way I've seen The Creation of Adam referenced. Everything the game is trying to say can be summed up in this one frame: creating in one's own image, and the drive to recreate oneself to achieve self-determination
_And now do you understand what the Little Man's profession was?_ _This horrid little being, whose face shone with kindness, went about the world looking for boys. Lazy boys, boys who hated books, boys who wanted to run away from home, boys who were tired of school--all these were his joy and his fortune._ _He took them with him to the Land of Toys and let them enjoy themselves to their heart's content. When, after months of all play and no work, they became little donkeys, he sold them on the market place. In a few years, he had become a millionaire._
Tbh the movesets are fine but damn these late game bosses have SO MUCH HEALTH. Even with S skilling weapons it’s gonna take like 50 hits or more to finish a boss like this.
I plan on doing all endings anyway. Plus you have to give geppetto your heart if you want the acheivment for playing a perfect tune on the piano as being turned human is the only way to do it. However I always try to get all the achievements in games, but that’s just me.
I was the opposite I was ecstatic I finally beat him, but I was hesitant to do the final boss fight because it was so tiring. I ended up doing it anyways and you’ll be happy to know for me anyways it was much easier than Simon only took me 6 or so tries.
@@nathanway1550 Wait, really? I spend 2 hours on the Knight Lady, beat this guy on my 2nd try (just dodge well) and then spent a good hour on the true final boss.
Unpopular opinion: this boss was easy. I played through most of the bosses with the spirt summon because I was trash at parrying, but everytime I started a boss I went in without one. I didn't need a summon for Simon, I beat him in two tries only because I got unlucky the first time. Anyone who says this boss is hard is suffering from serious skill issues.
I honestly don't get where all of the salt is coming from. This boss was the most manageable of the bunch, including the one after it. I dread having to fight the thunder lady or Romeo again in NG+, but maybe it'll be easier this time around.
Simon seemed convinced that harnessing ergo would allow him to manifest as god but all he really possessed was the life essence, memories and time of everyone in Krat.
2nd Phase took you that long? I just finished my first playthrough and went strictly advanced. Used the acidic spear handle with the acidic tip. Took this guy out fast af. Just parried and charged my weapon for attacks.
Loved the game up to the point where you fight the green swamp monster. Everything after that felt cheap to me for boss fights excluding the boss previous to simon. If they balanced the game id rate it higher, but the balancing with bosses and even other things they should have worked out before release has me mixed on wither the game is good or not. Definitely enjoyed most of it compared to the endgame stuff though.
I think that this is one of the best souls-like games aside from the Nioh games, and I have to agree with you somewhat. The difficulty increases for this game are insane and random. You’ll go form a boss 2-3 shorting you to the next one having an 8 attack chain that also one shots you 😅😅
You’re complaining because a boss is hard? So what that’s the point of these games some bosses you get stuck on some you don’t. The swamp boss took me 10ish tries and Simon took me 15-20 they were hard and it was rewarding to finally beat them. This has been the formula for many from software games.
Nope, although the Alchemists and other beasts are more behind the story’s Veil Simon Manus is the Whale Monstro’s beast role of being the wall between P and Geppetto
@kitelanford Submarine has Monstro the Shark on it. The submarine that takes you to alchemists island. The way to Gepetto. Monstro was a shark in the original story of Pinocchio which Lies of P is situated around. Disney's was a whale.
I’m so tired of people complaining that Souls-Like games are too hard. “GIT GUD” or go play something else. These games aren’t for the faint of heart or casual gamers so instead of trying to change them, go elsewhere
These devs don’t realize making a final boss that’s just completely unrelenting, massive damage and range with almost zero windows of attacking is not difficult, it’s just fucking annoying.
git gud? ive finished the game and this boss was extremely fun and has plenty of openings to deal damage even in this video he exploited them, like sorry the boss doesn't just stand there staring at you for 5 to 10 seconds watching you hit them like every braindead bossfight in most games
Tired of ppl saying git gud its not a skill issue its the balancing of the enemys and bosses no reason to get stun locked cause of stupid hitboxs and bs attacks
@fortunefiderikumo9129 Beating this boss wasn't particularly hard, it was as this person said annoying. Besides ripping of from (elden beast) they tried to hard in this design. So *getting good.....is irrelevant to it being annoying.
Why is the thumbnail pic n description a complete spoiler 🙄 Those 2 elements could of been handled differently on ur part to respect ppl that don’t have an instant gratification mindset n are actively playing such as myself. Not watching, gets a thumbs down.
I’ve killed most Sekiro bosses within 5 tries. This game has two bosses that I’ve had 20+ attempts. Laxasia and this one. Bullshit spongy bosses. No skill.

I guess its also an interesting allusion to Moby Dick and how the whale itself is seen as "God", in a sense.
He also duped desperate people to serve him by promising their heart’s desires, only to spirit them away to an island where they lose their humanity and made into beings that exist only to serve the Alchemist’s ends.
He’s one part Monstro, one part Coachman.
i thought the whale was supposed to be the submarine

He may have the power of a god, but his downfall was that he skipped leg day.
Lol
Nah he got the arms of God. Should of got the legs of God.
His fury attacks tell a different story lmaoo
🤣😂🤣😂
Nah nah go take a look at his human form’s gallery model and get back to me XD
This guy’s second phase cutscene was SO EPIC. Haven’t felt this hype for a second phase in a while.
actin like beast clergyman to maliketh isnt the coldest transition of all time
Man really became Mahito in that phase transition
Literally pulled out the Self-Embodiment of Perfection 😂
4:35 Mahito's Domain Expansion
Ryoiki Tenkai: Jihei Endonka! *( Domain Expansion: Self-Embodiment Of Perfection )*
lol
So Simon MANUS has one obscenely large arm? I feel like I’ve seen this somewhere…
He is also intertwined with a deity-like hand entity. Almost like the hand of god hovering above
Manus means hand clearly inspired from dark souls
He's clearly inspired by Glenn quagmire when he discovered orange UA-cam
You're all wrong its a smash brothers reference.
Jk lmao
The hardest part from the second phase is the camera angles
Is a dark souls reference
That's the only comment that's actually fair in this comment section.
That red attack that unlocks the cam is more of a problem than the high health and damage of a FINAL BOSS
I think I'm detecting some sort of subtle hand motif here.
Simon has the designs of a one piece character 😂
I have a feeling that most of people here never played a souls like before and now cant handle a final boss like this one
He’s only the final boss of one out of 3 endings so I’d consider Nameless Puppet the “true” final boss. And in my opinion, NP is a far better fight than this one. More challenging and fun to learn.

@@user-bg1ls5cd1hI give it 10/10 as well. Game was executed perfectly
They drooped the balls pretty hard with these final bosses
These final bosses sucks so much ass
Even if he has the power of god, he is still mortal
Simon Manus is Godrick’s OG.
You got that backwards
@@Sizzllllnn nope, he’s much harder than Godrick. But I get your point
What would happen if Godrick had The Left Arm Of God? Awakening of his hidden powers or something different? (In a crossover that is.)

A lot of people here that have to git gud.
Yes they do
You can READ the skill issues in here
This boss was super refreshing for me after Laxasia, spent hours fighting her but downed this guy in a few tries
great game and final boss
This is a good fight, but THIS is the power of a God...?
No, this is the power of delusion.
Simon seemed convinced that harnessing ergo would allow him to manifest as god but all he really possessed was the life essence, memories and time of everyone in Krat.
Sounds like you can be in front of him in real life doing something useful 😂

the transformation to the second form of him is a clear reference to the end of Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)/ Fullmetal Brotherhood

Agreed 100%. It’s pure fucking trash. They should be embarrassed. I would have given the game a 9/10 but the boss fights bring it to a 6/10.

Parry

you do realize that you don't have to watch a video to see its thumbnail right?@@armapillow7341
So is there a reason you’re not using your legion arm? Kind of a core mechanic of fluid gameplay.. this is kinda lame without it, lmao.

They need to nerf a lot of these damn bosses Way too bullshit And also make your specters stronger They we’re an absolute joke Horrible glitch ai too
Specters? You are a weak bastard
if you're using a spectre you FAIL
"Make specters stronger" 💀💀💀 killed me
Worst boss in the game
Music is also similar to FROMSOFTWARE games. Is not a bad game, but lack completly of almost something original.
Parry mechanic and double boss health bars, already refunded
Sounds like a skill issue
Just say you’re bad at the game lol.
