Survivors Share Many Common Traits

Certainly! Here’s a raw, stream-of-consciousness version of your article:

So, here’s the deal. Spoilers galore in this one about the bosses in “Lies of P: Overture.” Just a heads up.

“Lies of P” really shakes things up in the whole Soulslike world, thanks to some rather intense, creative bosses. And then there’s the “Overture” DLC—they really went all in. A couple of these bosses, like Markiona, Puppeteer of Death, or the artsy Arlecchino, seriously stand out. They’re different, you know? But then, hmm… some of the bosses feel like they’re just twin siblings of the base game’s baddies.

There’s this Anguished Guardian of the Ruins. Looks a ton like the Fallen Archbishop Andreus. Both just two flavors of the same spooky dish. And man, the Premetamorphic Green Hunter? It’s literally a remastered version of the OG Green Monster of the Swamp from the main game. Copy-paste much? I won’t lie, kind of funny how they recycle, but hey.

Ah, speaking of which, the Green Monster of the Swamp, aka ‘Shrek’—no lie, that’s what folks call it—can be a real pain to take down. Especially when it evolves and nicks moves from the Scrapped Watchman. Fun times.

Tiny tip: if you’ve got the Carcass Butcher’s Amulet and a Flame Grindstone, plus some Thermite, you can roast that swampy beast pretty quick.

Now, this Premat Green Hunter is like this mystery… except not really since it’s just a mini version of a boss you’ve already beaten. It pulls this annoying move where it heals itself during battles by grabbing you. And then poof! Runs away before you can finish it—because, ta-da, it’s gotta grow up into a full monster later. Intriguing, in a full-circle kind of way, don’t you think?

Switching gears… Star Wars Jedi references! Remember taking on Oggdo Bogdo in “Fallen Order”? That wild optional boss on Bogano? Yeah, a nostalgic terror. Fast forward five years in “Jedi: Survivor,” and bam, they introduce the Spawn of Oggdo. It’s like an “Oggdo’s Greatest Hits” collection to reel players back in.

Essentially, you get to fight this new spawn, which is more nostalgia bait than anything. Another boss from the past just popping up. Déjà vu all over again.

Fun fact: You even get to face both Oggdo Bogdo and the Spawn together in this crazy space-time bending fight. Let’s just say, for nostalgia freaks, that’s a dream—or maybe a nightmare, can’t decide.

I suppose some might argue it stretches the whole callback thing a tad too far, but hey, who’s counting? Not me. I’m just here for the ride.
