How to beat Parade Master
To beat the Parade Master in Lies of P, you’re going to have to be quick on your feet and time your dodges carefully.
The Parade Master has a great many attacks that can easily flatten you. However, it can be quite slow as it prepares to unleash them. These are your windows to make your move.
If you’ve opted for the more power-heavy Path of the Sweeper, your attacks will deal significantly more damage, but you’ll have to be sure to back away more often as it prepares to attack.
If you’ve opted for the more stamina-heavy Path of the Bastard, you’ll be able to pepper it with attacks. But just be careful of its attacks with a bigger range, as they will hit harder owing to your lower defence.
After dealing enough damage, the Parade Master enters its second phase. It will become so enraged that it will tear off its head and use it as a weapon to try and beat you down.

Don’t let this display of brutality intimidate you, however. Continue to time your dodges carefully and guard when necessary, and the Parade Master will be defeated in no time.
