Mad Donkey is the second boss encountered in Lies of P, with a somewhatdifferent attack pattern compared to the previous boss. In this guide, we'lloutline how to beat this boss and, notably, how to create a shortcut leading tothe encounter.
In Lies of P, the recent RPG action-adventure in the Souls-like genre by Neowiz Games, the real challenge often lies not in defeating the boss but in reaching it. You'll encounter numerous enemies determined to obstruct your progress on the path to the boss fight.
Hence, Lies of P incorporates shortcut mechanics to directly link you to the boss and the closest stargazer. However, these shortcuts must be activated in advance.
In the instance of the Mad Donkey boss, there's a shortcut featuring an elevator, clearly visible near the Elysion Boulevard stargazer located Inside the House. Unfortunately, this elevator is obstructed by an electric barrier. Within this guide, we'll explain the steps to unlock this elevator and provide strategies for defeating the Mad Donkey boss, so let's get started.
How to unlock shortcut elevator near the "Inside the House on Elysion Boulevard" stargazer
Once you've unlocked the stargazer within the House on Elysion Boulevard, upon entering the room, you'll notice a vendor to the left offering additional weapons at a cost of only 1200 Ergos. To the right of this vendor, you'll find an elevator that will serve as your shortcut to the boss once you've activated it.
As you leave the room, be prepared to face two puppets on your immediate right: one armed with a gun and another lurking around the corner wielding a mace. Dispose of them, then proceed across the rooftops to confront another Mace Puppet. Exercise caution when dealing with the puppet positioned atop the roof, as it tosses electrobombs. You can avoid detection by hugging the wall when approaching.
Proceed along the path, and you'll encounter the butterfly character for the first time. Follow the butterfly's lead, disregarding the ladder that descends to ground level; you'll revisit that area later. Eliminate the butterfly to retrieve the Hidden Moonstone. Keep moving through the building and descend the ladder into a slightly more spacious area. Here, you'll encounter a highly formidable mini-boss that it's advisable to bypass unless you're prepared for a challenging fight.

To steer clear of this mini-boss, ascend the ladder on your right and proceed along the catwalk. Timing is crucial; wait for the mini-boss to move towards the centre of the room and then descend into the arena. Quickly make your escape through the tunnel that the mini-boss traverses. While he may become aware of your presence, he won't be able to reach or harm you.
Proceed down the street with the mini-boss in pursuit, and you'll encounter new sword-wielding enemies. Don't engage them; instead, veer into the left alley and swiftly open the door. This door serves as your initial shortcut in the event of death. Engage the enemy, and if you emerge victorious, that's excellent. However, if you're defeated, upon respawning at the stargazer, opt to descend the ladder on the left instead of crossing the bridge where you confronted the butterfly. The door will be wide open, allowing you to bypass a particularly challenging mini-boss encounter.
Once you've passed through the recently opened door, confront the adversaries within the alley, consisting of two sword-wielding enemies and a mechanical dog. Take note of the passageway to the left, directly across from where the mechanical dog was stationed. Enter the building and make your way to the elevator; unlock it and ascend to the floor above. Upon exiting the elevator, the shortcut will be activated, allowing you to easily descend the elevator and confront the boss directly.

Mad Donkey boss hints and strategy
Defeating Mad Donkey is relatively straightforward, as he wields an exceptionally large sword and his attack patterns are entirely predictable.
Maintain a safe distance and be patient, allowing him to initiate his attack. Dodge his strikes and be prepared for his attack to land on the ground. At this moment, swiftly manoeuvre behind his back, and you'll receive a prompt for the Fatal Blow attack. Executing this manoeuvre will inflict substantial damage on him.
Repeat this strategy several times, and Mad Donkey will soon become a thing of the past, allowing you to reunite with someone very dear to you after he's been dealt with.
