The play is a warning to P and when the king comes down to extend his hand it’s him attempting to become Allies with P to stop Geppeto. After P smacks his hand away he sobs because the King realizes there’s no other option but to fight.
The fact that he was trying to warn you with the play as well as him extending his hand in warmth when he met you showed Romeo truly didn’t want to fight. When you swatted his hand away, his heart broke as he felt he lost his old friend to Geppetto. In his eyes, if you aren’t my friend, you’re my enemy…
For the people who don’t know the puppet king is actually trying to save you from Geppetto by showing you that he’s gonna take your hearth to revive his son, and that what actually is gonna happen at the end, at least one of the 3 endings. So in the end the king was actually a good guy, especially because the face of P is the same has his best friend when he was still alive that why he’s trying to save you. But unfortunately P didn’t know….
"I was wondering when you'd show up, you have kept me waiting!" "This whole place is teeming with monsters, of course. We have to slay them." "C'mon, don't be silly." "I have to kill you at all costs. There's no other way!" "Its all going up in flames... bright, white flames." "Maybe this is what real freedom feels like. Thanks, Carlo..."
Did anyone else start laughing when they thought the boss was going to be the puppet who got a heart implant, only for the actual boss to jump down out of nowhere?
It was a play made by the puppet king trying to show Pinocchio what gipetto would do if his plan was carried out, in one of the endings gipetto takes P's heart so he can make his son reborn, puppet king offering his hand was a way of saying "stay here" (there's a lot more but that's the gist)@@Idioticvines
@@RestartRestart-kk7ie I'm not arguing the point of the play, I was legit expecting something crazy to happen in the play for a boss to emerge, only to have this big goober come up out of nowhere.
I think this guys new game plus one as it's unreadable at first then every new game plus you do it gets more readable until you regain Ps puppet speech back
Hehe, that's the moment when you realize the Geppetto is the real villain all along and you're just doing his dirty job for him, that you are nothing more than just ....a puppet
This game's storyline is that meme of puppets puppetering other puppets. Oh you thought the King of Puppets is the villain? Suprise, it's this guy named Simon. But actually, it's Geppeto... But actually, actually, it's Parcileous. But actually, actually, actually, it's the Wizard of Oz.... BUT ACTU-
@@comicsans8278i think what he's trying to say is that foreshadowing is more subtle and since the intro literally spoils whats gonna happen later very literally outright saying "your gonna get your heart stolen by your dad" then its more like a warning rather than foreshadowing
Finally beat this tough bastard today. I got an incredibly lucky moveset order from him during the second phase, he wasn’t as punishing as in previous attempts lol
It feels like there's some level of lore significance attached to this guy considering he: - shows P a play where a puppet's heart is taken out any put in a new body - expects P to reciprocate his handshake - was friends with someone named "Carlo" - never wanted to be King of Puppets The events listed above tie in neatly with what happens later Furthermore, the character Romeo appears in the original novel (tempts Pinocchio with fun and merriment, ultimately dies as a donkey)
The cutscene has a lot of visual significance to the story. The scene being enacted on the stage is meant to reveal Geppetto’s secret to Carlo (your puppet). You know that heart Geppetto gifted to you gives you a soul that all other puppets lack. However what you did not know was what the heart was for. The heart you were given and have been empowering with Ergo was a simple conduit for Geppetto’s next creation, the Nameless Puppet. Once it has reached its prime, Geppetto intends to take it. The puppet king illustrates this with the scene unfolding on the stage, which shows a puppet Geppetto removing the heart, then placing it into the nameless puppet. All of your efforts were to bring to life Geppetto’s creation. The puppet king shows you this then offers his hand as if to say “Geppetto plans to use you, leave him and join us, so we can stop him” But your character curtly refuses, slapping the hand away. By this act he admits his faith in Geppetto and his denial of the truth he learns at the very end of the game. My assumption is that Romeo was created by and discovered Geppetto’s plans to create the nameless puppet (which if you don’t know was intended to be a weapon for humans) and became the puppet king in order to stop him. Or as Romeo would put it “the whole city is teeming with monsters… of course we have to stop it” Edit: Carlo is the name of Geppetto’s son, one that died and then had his memories implanted into you, P. Apparently Romeo was a friend of Carlo, so this fight is even more interesting. Friends now rivals. This also means that Geppetto’s intends to take your heart so that Carlo becomes the next ultimate life form as the nameless puppet.
One more thing, in second phase when starts using the weaponized back-scratcher, he mentions that he needs to kill you to stop it all, as opposed to his first phase where he’s still trying to convince you to join his side.
Apparently, Romeo was human and a friend of Carlo. He was forcibly turned into a puppet (like that one ending) and given orders to start the Puppet Frenzy. His death therefore lines up with the book (Lampwick/Romeo is transformed into a lesser entity and dies of overwork/exhaustion). Note that NPCs make a distinction between P and Carlo. While P is never explicitly named at any point in game, the hotel residents recognize his purpose; Antonia Cerasani later signs off a letter with the epithet "to the young gentleman who resembles Carlo". Otherwise, P is always addressed as "Puppet of Geppetto". That at least explains the death quote ("Maybe this is what real freedom feels like...thanks, carlo... "), but it does not explain the purpose of the Puppet Frenzy
This guy single-handedly made Lies of P (for me at least) look fun to play. Edit: Serious Question for the people who see (or saw) this comment, should I try playing Lies of P again? (I never finished it) Edit 2: I should provide an update on this. I decided to play the game again soon after the first edit. Although, I’ve been playing other games recently. I’ll get back to Lies of P whenever I’m done.
after nameless puppet and laxasia. Romeo is the third boss I like in this game. I like that in his first form. he's kinda funny and friendly. and then turns into terrifying real fast after pinocchio rejected his friendship. and then turn into a cool guys with badass scythe-sword after you defeated him once. such a many moods in one boss. if you like to fight with monster type boss or something bigger than you. you got him. but if you like to fight with humanoid enemy with badass melee weapon and flashy moves. you also got him. for lorewise. he almost as good as the final boss. the someone we know..... a man who became a king without his willingness. a man who tried to warns us. but unfortunately that he can't talk the normal language. so he have no choice but stop us with violence.... and then we killed him without know what he try to say or what he's felt.... without doubt. he's definitely one of the most tragic boss in this game. the only drawback that make him only third rank for me is, his moves isn't fancy enough. sure it's awesome, fast and powerful. but it's quite a simple swing. not flashy as much as laxasia or nameless puppet.
If they were to fix his moveset and design he would’ve been more impactful and fun. They could have given him a dodge or made him stagger less because as funny as it is to see him get staggered, he gets staggered way to often. In addition they could renovate his arena. Leave remnants of his suit (or prison) lying around the arena, making them destructible props and had patch’s of fire scattered on the floor (maybe lighting up the carpets). Besides that, the story points and animations in the fight were all magnificent. He deserved a bit more.
I dont know when things like handstand flips that lead into a stomp with 1000 tons of force or throwing your sickle and using rocket propelled legs to scrape against the ground in a burst of flame to catch it and sweep the players leg became "simple slashes" but alr
@@conniefan123 It's kinda lack of special effect. Like laxasia in phase two that most of her sword swing covered with electrical. or nameless puppet phase two that most of his sword attacks full of red aura. plus, laxasia can shoot lightning bolt from her sword. dash in high speed like the flash. so does nameless puppet. who could dash in high speed with dual sword, shoot sword beam or blood beam from his sword like a rifle. compared to Romeo. he can't do most of that. most of his attack are regular slash and that yoga kick. he can't unleashed any range attack. so he have to throw his weapon instead. the only move of him that could compete with those two are the flaming dash, and the flaming scythe Combo. that's why I put him on the 3nd rank.
I had a little thought geppetto was evil at first Then, I saw the kings play and was completely convinced To bad you couldn't join him in some way as a way to get an alternate ending
I think it would have been a neat dynamic to have the King of Puppets fight defensively for a duration of the first phase, only attacking when P attempts to attack, then having him go into a more offensive stance once you get him to 33% or 50% of health. It would be a neat way to show that he really doesn't want to fight you, but you, the player in particular, end up forcing him to.
Once you know the full context behind who the Puppet King actually is and his relationship with the person our character is based on, this fight gets a lot more tragic. He wasn't trying to trick or deceive you. He was genuinely convinced that his dear friend had come back from the dead and was simply trying to save you from being Geppeto's slave...but there's no way our character/Pinocchio could've known that. Up till now almost every puppet we've met has tried to kill us (and those few who could communicate we couldn't understand them) so couple that with all the talk about the King up till now and it kinda makes sense why Geppeto's Puppet would reject any offers of friendship. As far as he's concerned, it's just a trick...except it's really not. Makes me stop and wonder how different things could've turned out if Pinocchio, for whatever reason, actually accepted the offer. Could've maybe worked together to rally the other puppets and strike back against the real enemy. Probably could've made things a lot easier.
lol ZERO chance that was his first try, he was just save scamming to look cool on the video. Plus he got no achvment from the fight, which means he killed it before.
you can literally see how disheartened he was when p didn’t take his hand did nobody notice how he seemed like the only character that didn’t want to fight even before they revealed he was actually good
*slaps hand away* Everyone: BRO WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU DO THAT OMG *megalovinia starts playing in the backround* Everyone: you know what we deserve it at this point
I remember watching that opening cutscene for the first time and being so weirded out by whatever ritual I was witnessing. Then I became slightly amused by the dead silence as the puppet posed and the Geppetto puppet clapped ecstatically for him. Then I started laughing hysterically when the real boss came crash-landing down on the scene. And now? Now I’m just sad, because I’m a lore junkie and Romeo can’t have nice things (,:
i don't know if someone noticed. but if the king defeats you in the first phase, he takes off his crown and puts it on his chest as a signal of lamenting while lowering his head.
I haven't played this game or know anything of it, but I like this king guy. Also, maybe he didn't fucking parry the king's hanshake, he could gave helped fight the boss at the end of whatever greater evil.
On my 2nd playthrough. This whole fight is sad. SPOILERS He was trying to warn us. And that offering of hand was probably his way of seeing if P remembered him. Then thinking we are just a tool of Geppito. I am curious though did he order the puppets to kill to slow Simon's goal or was it a hail mary way to get rid of the plague?
he tried to protect humans ordering the puppets killing the carcasses, but the puppets were bind to the covenant so they had no choice but to also keep killing humans due to the Zero Law implanted by Geppetto.
such a great fight. Very difficult but it's very fair and well balanced. Felt so good to learn his moves and finally beat him. My favorite boss from the game
I'm just gonna drop my experience with this here cuz it was really fun beating this boss and i don't want to forget it. so i didn't really play the game to get to fight the boss but my cousin did and i just decided to try out this boss when i saw him lose to him for a while (i finished almost all the souls games so i thought this is gonna be a piece of cake, my cousin did too just for clarification) but boi oh boi this guy made me sweat the first phase took me like 5 try's to beat and 10 to perfectly beat it with no dmg but the second phase i cant even begin to explain the amount of ptsd i got fighting this guy with his raiden from mgrr looking ahh fit and melenia move set and i couldn't even beat him in the end i got him to a hair hp before i lost and my cousin finally won against him on his turn, i loved every second of this fight 10/10 would recommend.
After finishing the game the starting scene makes sense the king of puppets was trying to give us hint about the bad ending he was trying to warn us to not give heart to gpetto
I never noticed how the "puppet speak" is just barely legible. it's garbled but you can make out what they say if you look hard enough. makes them seem that much more human.
i understand people think that blocking/parrying is the way to go, but i swear this boss was so easy once u know what to dodge and what to parry, first phase basically is all dodge and go behind with heavy attacks, 2nd phase is same thing except for 2 attacks u have to parry
All that was required of Romeo was to defiantly throw the scythe aside after being freed from the exoskeleton, and say a few words (no matter what, they still don't understand him). Yes, he can't speak clearly, but no one has canceled nonverbal communication. It would show that he really wants peace. Otherwise, from P's side, it looks like Romeo, at best, sees no other way out but to continue the fight, and at worst, he even wants him dead. The drama of misunderstanding between those who could become allies is strong, but far-fetched.
He look like Toy Maker’s Puppet Master in Casltevania: Lord of Shadow 2. Because is a man inside puppet. And they look like puppet on the outside, but a real human in the inside. in real life.
The play is a warning to P and when the king comes down to extend his hand it’s him attempting to become Allies with P to stop Geppeto. After P smacks his hand away he sobs because the King realizes there’s no other option but to fight.

Romeo is like Raiden but a Steampunk version of it
I'm just gonna drop my experience with this here cuz it was really fun beating this boss and i don't want to forget it.
so i didn't really play the game to get to fight the boss but my cousin did and i just decided to try out this boss when i saw him lose to him for a while (i finished almost all the souls games so i thought this is gonna be a piece of cake, my cousin did too just for clarification) but boi oh boi this guy made me sweat the first phase took me like 5 try's to beat and 10 to perfectly beat it with no dmg but the second phase i cant even begin to explain the amount of ptsd i got fighting this guy with his raiden from mgrr looking ahh fit and melenia move set and i couldn't even beat him in the end i got him to a hair hp before i lost and my cousin finally won against him on his turn, i loved every second of this fight 10/10 would recommend.
The Kings design is terrifying, man. Job well done.
1:23 the funny part
The second phase fight and soundtrack are sooooooooo good 😮💨🔥 the adrenaline
This reminds me alot of the opera boss in Nier Automata
I've watched this boss-apperance scene lots of time and still not feel bored.
After finishing the game the starting scene makes sense the king of puppets was trying to give us hint about the bad ending he was trying to warn us to not give heart to gpetto
great boss music and fight!
I love the pipe organ theme that is played when the king enters the auditorium!
I never noticed how the "puppet speak" is just barely legible. it's garbled but you can make out what they say if you look hard enough. makes them seem that much more human.
i really enjoyed playing with the bone cutter saw and krat baton handle
I love the way he slaps the king's hand
The king at start didn’t want to fight
My first reaction
1:19
Hes too peaceful to be the
1:23
Nevermind
Clap your freaking hand 1:22
The initial cutscene takes on such a different meaning after the ending...
In a Russian version of pinnocio this guy is a main villain, now I understand why
I have no idea what’s going on but the music makes me feel like this is supposed to be a tragic fight kinda like the fight with Zuko and Azula
i still wonder what the song is called
@@dick-diddling-bandit Coppélia Act 3 Nr 1 but I can't find the Version that is used in the Game💔😭
The pupper king looks really cool
this Boss has so much character, I just love it
The protagonist is natural
B. I. T. C. H.
The healing animation was so cool
I wish we had the option to accept, poor Romeo was just trying to warn us😢
Great relatable fight
4:29 How sad, you/Pinnochio killed that freak!
King of puppets my new favorite boss battle villain ❤️💯
I literally thought the small puppet was the enemy lmao
Freemason compass 0:22
Romeo😢
so sad because his soul absorbed by Simon's device after defeated here.
4:37 I see the puppet is destroyed, and surly this must be the puppeteer.
I now feel like an idiot because I just cheesed with spectre and cube and just hit him from the back
5:07
Hey look, it's Aaron Eckhart.
Good idea to anger the metal behemoth!
More like sadden. He's not mad, just upset you don't wanna join him on his adventures to stop Geppetto :(
i understand people think that blocking/parrying is the way to go, but i swear this boss was so easy once u know what to dodge and what to parry, first phase basically is all dodge and go behind with heavy attacks, 2nd phase is same thing except for 2 attacks u have to parry
All that was required of Romeo was to defiantly throw the scythe aside after being freed from the exoskeleton, and say a few words (no matter what, they still don't understand him). Yes, he can't speak clearly, but no one has canceled nonverbal communication. It would show that he really wants peace. Otherwise, from P's side, it looks like Romeo, at best, sees no other way out but to continue the fight, and at worst, he even wants him dead. The drama of misunderstanding between those who could become allies is strong, but far-fetched.
This just looks like an elden ring remake lol
But seriously the game itself is epic how have i not seen this before
Poor king he was trying to help you
And there are people who think Lords of the Fallen can top this.
Such a cold entrance
It's the fact that King was a good guy
THE KING ON ITS FLESH!!!
I wish there was an option to shake hands with the king of puppets or smack the hand
Hid entrance was fire
The second boss looks like a terminator.
Clockwork terminator that would be the abridged version
He look like Toy Maker’s Puppet Master in Casltevania: Lord of Shadow 2. Because is a man inside puppet. And they look like puppet on the outside, but a real human in the inside. in real life.
This game was basically a mix between dark souls and final fantasy
brooo increiblee
It almost would have been cooler if that white puppet was the boss and he was just a crazy powerful brawler
El haber jugando este juego y darle la vuelta fue lo mejor
maneater mildred is pleased
all bro wanted was a handshake, why he gotta do him like that?
bros basically sasori
I feel like a lot of trouble could have been avoided had they just not slapped the hand away
