A Stalker enemy you can beat as an optional boss in Lies of P is the Red Fox, someone you find in an earlier encounter during your initial adventures through Krat. Also known as Claudia, she first travels close to the Workshop Union Culvert Stargazer with her sister, Black Cat. This warrior has many quick attacks with strong combos that make her an overwhelming opponent in the city of frenzied puppets.
Black Cat leads to one of the longest questlines you’ll encounter, where you meet Red Fox and her sister multiple times as the story unfolds. You can choose to help or kill Black Cat, as their involvement is revealed over time. While aiding these siblings costs special items called Gold Coin Fruits, you can always choose to kill them instead to lead to the optional boss battle against Red Fox.
How To Defeat Red Fox in Lies of P
Depending on your choices surrounding Black Cat, you will encounter Red Fox as a boss in the Arche Abbey Upper Area, where you can backstab her in the same way as many basic enemies. While you can’t summon a Specter in this boss fight, you can stagger Red Fox in Lies of P through consistent attacks. Hold your defense until her moves finish, taking advantage of the boss’ long recovery time to land a few hits.
Red Fox Move List | ||
|---|---|---|
Attack | Description | How to Beat |
Uppercut Swing | A simple attack where the boss swings her sword from the ground upward in front of her. | Dodge to the side from the attack or Block the incoming hit. |
Side Slash | The boss slashes their curved saber in front of them with a fast strike. | Avoid the attack by dodging into the boss, giving yourself a small window to land some attacks. |
Leaping Strike | The Red Fox jumps into the air before attacking you, knocking you over if their strike connects. | Be ready to Block the attack when the boss leaps into the air. |
Spinning Combo | The boss quickly spins forward with multiple Side Slash attacks in a row, spinning as they advance toward you. This move is often used as the Red Fox’s Fury Attack. | Block each strike if it isn’t the Fury Attack variation, and move away from the boss if you see them glow red. |
Overhead Swipe | Used as a follow-up attack from her other moves, the Red Fox takes a moment before swinging their blade downward. | Step back with a well-timed Dodge to avoid any follow-up combos from this attack. |
When you find and beat the Red Fox optional boss in Lies of P, you’ll receive the Red Fox Mask Accessory, which gives you an extra cosmetic piece that does not provide any additional effect.

- 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.
