Lies of P Update 1.009 Brings Combat Adjustments, Overture DLC Access Changes

Most notable to me:

Starting from your second playthrough, you can access the Lies of P: Overture DLC from Chapter 5 at the “Path of the Pilgrim.”

Combat Balance Adjustments:

Reduced monster difficulty in repeat playthroughs.
Adjusted stats for certain field monsters in the first playthrough of Lies of P: Overture

Seems like there were more people like me who've felt that the DLC is a little overtuned on repeat playthroughs. I'll have to check again how it is now on Legendary Stalker.

I can say on ng++ I have met more resistance than anywhere in the main game. Its fine once I learn the timings but thats hard to do when any mistake removes at least one third of my health.
- For real. I'm also on NG++ and breezed through the game to chapter 9 to get going in the DLC and everything was very manageable except for Romeo, maybe. But even the basic enemies in the DLC kill me super easily. Even the very first boss fight was hard enough for me to turn the difficult down a notch - Markiona was even harder
  
  I actually had more trouble with the first boss, he just hits so hard. Took awhile but nailing the parries staggers him and gives a moment to get some hits in. For Markiona dodging more did it for me, and I focused her down the whole time while using the puppet ripper. I thought the wide swings would help stun her buddy but in the end that didnt matter. The rippers special did nice work on her while she was hopping around, and dodge slashing to her side worked well. Bit of luck dodging both of them though.
