Lies of P just rolled out a major patch that makes the game easier, decreasing the HP of several bosses while making Specters stronger.
While it might seem drastic, it's nothing new for Soulslike games. Even Elden Ring released updates to soften things up, but it's typically in the name of 'balance'. Sure, Radahn isn't as tough now, but the Rivers of Blood does less damage and your mimic is weaker. Here, everything has been tweaked to lessen the difficulty.

"I was stuck on this boss for like six-to-seven hours," one user wrote in the Lies of P subreddit. "Now [the] update dropped and I beat him on my first try. Sadly, I don't feel the usual accomplishment after beating a Souls boss."
