The first boss fight with The Black Rabbit Brotherhood in Lies of P occurs when you face the Eldest in the Malum District. In this fight, he will summon his brothers as mini-bosses. Aside from that, it’s a fairly straightforward boss fight with the Eldest, and while it is difficult, it is not the fight that players are having trouble with. Instead, it’s the second time you face the Black Rabbit Brotherhood at the Relic of Trismegistus that is causing players problems.
The reason the second go around with The Black Rabbit Brotherhood is so challenging is because you essentially take on four bosses at once. The first Phase is a three-on-one against the Battle Maniac, Youngest, and Eccentric of the Black Rabbit Brotherhood. Once you’ve defeated them, you’ll have to take on the Eldest of the Black Rabbit Brotherhood, once again, in the second phase. This version, however, is far more powerful than the first one. As a result, this is easily one of the hardest bosses in Lies of P.
How to Easily Beat The Black Rabbit Brotherhood
Because the first phase of the second Black Rabbit Brotherhood boss fight in Lies of P is a three-on-one, you should summon a Specter to help level the playing field. However, Elbethium on YouTube outlines a plethora of other things you can do to help you in this boss fight. The first order of business is the prep work.
Prep Work
Of course, the weapon you choose will have a significant impact on the amount of damage you do in the fight. Elbethium’s recommendation is to upgrade the Two Dragons Sword as much as possible. However, if you have another preference or a weapon that has been significantly upgraded, it will also work. The key to beating this boss isn’t the weapon itself, but rather everything else that’s been stuffed in your pockets.
This is how you’ll want to arrange your pockets.
Slot | Item | Amount |
Upper Belt | Pulse Cell | 6 |
Cube (With Protection Wishstone inside) | 1 | |
Grinder | 1 | |
Lower Belt | Thermite | 6 of Each |
Throwing Cell | ||
Carcass Body Fluid Bottle | ||
Extra Bag | Shot Put | 4 of Each |
Cluster Grenade |
Phase 1 – Trio of The Black Rabbit Brotherhood
The strategy for defeating The Black Rabbit Brotherhood in phase one is to first summon your Specter. Following that, you should immediately pop the Cube with the Protection Wishstone inside. This will cause each of the Battle Maniac, Youngest, and Eccentric to lock onto the Specter.
As a result, they’re leaving themselves open for free hits and backstabs. Therefore, while the brothers are busy fighting the Specter you should be able to take out all three of the brothers before the Eldest of the Black Rabbit Brotherhood spawns. Unfortunately, your Specter is also likely to have died by then.
Phase 2 – Eldest of The Black Rabbit Brotherhood
You’ll want to use the trash bags in the middle of the room to your advantage for the second phase of the Black Rabbit Brotherhood. By standing on one side of the garbage, and the Eldest on the other side, he will still activate his attacks, but they will be out of range to hit you.
Furthermore, he will be unable to lunge at you. This gives you a safe window to hurl all of your throwables at him and inflict as much damage as possible.
A few key takeaways are that this strategy does equally not work with the Pillar in the center of the room. It has to be the Trash Bags because they keep your hitbox out of the Eldest’s range.
You can’t just mindlessly stand behind these trash bags the whole time; you’ll have to kite the Eldest of the Black Rabbit Brotherhood to avoid some of his attacks or re-align your position. Once you’ve got the method down, it will just be a matter of time before you beat the Black Rabbit Brotherhood in Lies of P.

- 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.
