Collecting Special Weapons
Special Weapons are unique treasures that should never be underestimated. However, it's essential to note that all 11 of them are missable. Ten Special Weapons become unavailable if you consume the Bosses' Ergos or use them to purchase Amulets at either Alidoro's or Explorer Hugo's shops. One Special Weapon becomes missable if you're on your Truth playthrough, making it exclusively obtainable during your Lie playthrough.
Special Weapons Missability
To avoid losing access to these powerful weapons, refrain from consuming the Bosses' Ergos under any circumstances. Keep them safe for future use. Remember that one Special Weapon is exclusive to your Lie playthrough.
Finding Alidoro
Before you can acquire Special Weapons, you must first locate Alidoro. He can be found near the St. Frangelico Cathedral Library stargazer. Here's a step-by-step guide:
- When you reach the room with an elevator at one of its sides, ride it up to the rooftop.
- Speak with Alidoro.
- He will request that you send him to a safe location.
- If you're on your Lie playthrough, send him to Venigni Works; if you're on your Truth playthrough, send him to Hotel Krat.
- Regardless of your initial choice, Alidoro will eventually relocate to Hotel Krat, where he will open his Special Weapons shop.
Special Weapons List
Here's a list of all 11 Special Weapons and how to obtain them in chronological order:
- Seven-Coil Spring Sword: Acquired by turning in Parade Leader's Ergo, dropped by the Parade Master main boss.
- Etiquette: Acquired by turning in Broken Hero's Ergo, dropped by the Scrapped Watchman main boss.
- Holy Sword of the Ark: Acquired by turning in King's Flame Ergo, dropped by King's Flame, Fuoco main boss.
- Trident of the Covenant: Acquired by turning in Twisted Angel's Ergo, dropped by Fallen Archbishop Andreus main boss.
- Puppet Ripper: Acquired by turning in Burnt-White King's Ergo, dropped by King of Puppets main boss.
- Frozen Feast: Acquired by turning in Reborn Champion's Ergo, dropped by Champion Victor main boss.
- Two Dragons Sword: Acquired by turning in Puppet-Devouring Green Hunter's Ergo, dropped by Puppet-Devouring Green Monster of the Swamp main boss.
- Uroboros's Eye: Acquired by turning in Sad Zealot's Ergo, dropped by Laxasia The Complete main boss.
- Noblesse Oblige: Acquired by turning in Fallen One's Ergo, dropped by Simon Manus Awakened God main boss.
Obtaining the Last Two Special Weapons
The final two Special Weapons require specific steps to obtain them within the same playthrough and unlock the Special Weapon Collector achievement. Here's what you need to do:
-
After defeating the boss "Simon Manus Awakened God," descend the elevator to the underground and interact with the Under the Abyss stargazer. Create a backup save (on PlayStation Cloud for PlayStation or copy your save to a different folder on PC).
-
Choose "Give the Heart" when Geppetto asks for it to unlock the Real Boy ending.
-
After the end credits, refrain from starting NG+. Back at Hotel Krat, enter Geppetto's Study, pick up the letter from the desk, and read it. This action will unlock "The Story of One Father" (bronze) and "Pianist of Krat" (silver) by interacting with the piano on the ground floor.
-
Reload your save and return to Hotel Krat. You will notice that the nose on the Portrait in Geppetto's Study has elongated but cannot be interacted with, which is normal. To interact with it, play through all available Records without interruption, then interact with the Portrait to obtain the Golden Lie Special Weapon. Remember that this weapon will only materialize if you've been lying throughout the game; it won't spawn in a True run.
-
Return to Under the Abyss, but this time choose "Refuse" and confront the Nameless Puppet to unlock "The First Puppet" (silver). This decision will determine whether you achieve the "Rise of P" ending, depending on your truthfulness or deceit throughout the game.
-
After the end credits, resist the urge to start NG+. Instead, purchase the last Special Weapon from Explorer Hugo, exchangeable with the Nameless Puppet's Ergo. This action will unlock the coveted "Special Weapon Collector" (silver) achievement.
In "Lies of P," obtaining all 11 Special Weapons is a challenging yet rewarding pursuit. These powerful weapons offer significant advantages over regular weaponry, making them a valuable asset in your journey through the game. However, the missable nature of these weapons and the intricate steps required to acquire the final two Special Weapons demand careful planning and execution.
By following this guide, you'll not only collect these rare Special Weapons but also achieve the Special Weapon Collector trophy and achievement, showcasing your mastery of the game's secrets. Remember to make strategic choices throughout your playthroughs, and be cautious with the Bosses' Ergos to ensure you don't miss out on these exceptional weapons.
Now, armed with the knowledge of Special Weapons and how to obtain them, embark on your adventure in "Lies of P" with confidence and a formidable arsenal at your disposal. Enjoy the game and the power these unique weapons bring to your character's journey!
