Lies of P Achievement Checklist

Overview
⚠ SPOILER ALERT

This guide names every boss, character fate, ending and major story reveal in Lies of P. Read on only if you're fine knowing what's ahead.

* next to a tab or a highlighted box means that trophy has a missable requirement.

43 trophies total, base game only — the Overture DLC has its own list and is not needed. Fastest route is 2 playthroughs (main run + NG+): six records are sold only in NG+, and Eugénie's two records exclude each other within one cycle. All three endings fit in the first run if you back up your save before the final choices.

Every trophy

Ticking a box here ticks it on its own tab, and vice versa. Rows that track a whole tab fill in on their own once it's complete — you can also tick them by hand. Click any name to jump there.

Trophies that unlock along the way

No setup needed — the story or the basic combat systems hand you all nine on any run that reaches the end. The only one that asks for a little effort is From Across the Rift.

First LieBronze
Stargazer's GuideBronze
Exploring PossibilitiesBronze
Fatal BlowBronze
The Ultimate Defense TechniqueBronze
The Bastards and the SweepersBronze
Bear Gold Coin FruitBronze
From Across the RiftBronze
The Story of the One Who DreamedBronze
From Across the Rift needs one kill of each of the four Dimensional Butterfly colours — red, pink, blue and yellow. They respawn when you rest at a Stargazer; the first yellow one flies around Lorenzini Arcade.
The Bastards and the Sweepers can fail to pop if the Stalker dies to a Fatal Attack. Finish it with a normal hit.
Boss trophies1 Silver · 12 Bronze

Twelve story bosses give a bronze each and cannot be skipped. The thirteenth, the Nameless Puppet, only exists if you turn Geppetto down at the very end — so it rides on the ending choice, the same way the endings do.

Unmissable — the story bosses

  1. Parade Master — Cerasani Alley Bronze
  2. Scrapped Watchman — Krat City Hall Courtyard Bronze
  3. King's Flame, Fuoco — Venigni Works Bronze
  4. Fallen Archbishop Andreus — Archbishop's Altar Bronze
  5. Eldest of the Black Rabbit Brotherhood — Malum District Town Hall Bronze
  6. Romeo, King of Puppets — Estella Opera House Stage Bronze
  7. Champion Victor — Grand Exhibition Conference Room Bronze
  8. Puppet-Devouring Green Monster — Barren Swamp Bridge Bronze
  9. Corrupted Parade Master — Krat Central Station Street Bronze
  10. Black Rabbit Brotherhood — Relic of Trismegistus Combat Field Bronze
  11. Laxasia the Complete — Arche Abbey Prayer Room Bronze
  12. Simon Manus, Awakened God — Cradle of the Gods Bronze

Optional — needs the right choice

The First Puppet — refuse GeppettoSilver
  1. Reach the Under the Abyss Stargazer after Simon Manus.
  2. When Geppetto asks for your heart, choose Refuse.
  3. Kill the Nameless Puppet that follows. Keep its Ergo — it becomes Proof of Humanity on the Special Weapon Collector tab.
Giving Geppetto the heart skips the Nameless Puppet. That ending closes the cycle without the fight. Back up your save before the choice, or take the Real Boy ending last.
Each story boss drops a boss Ergo. Never consume it and never spend it on an amulet — ten of the eleven special weapons are traded from those Ergos.
UpgradesSilver ×4

Four separate trophies for pushing one thing to its cap: a normal weapon, a special weapon, a Legion Arm and the P-Organ. None of them needs a second cycle; only the special weapon one can be lost, and only by spending boss Ergos the wrong way.

Strongest Normal Weapon — +10Silver
  1. Pick any normal weapon; blade and handle count as one weapon for the upgrade.
  2. Upgrade it at Hotel Krat with Moonstones: Hidden, Crescent and Half Moonstones for +1 to +9.
  3. The last level takes a Full Moonstone. The first one is guaranteed from the Corrupted Parade Master.
Strongest Special Weapon — +5Silver
  1. Trade one boss Ergo for a special weapon at Alidoro's shop in Hotel Krat.
  2. Special weapons use Moonstones of the Covenant instead of normal Moonstones.
  3. Finish the Special Krat Supply Box request so Polendina's shop expands and stocks them, then take the weapon to +5 with Dark Moon and Full Moonstones of the Covenant.
Strongest Legion Arm — fully modifiedSilver
  1. Legion Arms unlock after the Parade Master, when Eugénie hands you the Puppet String.
  2. Modify any one arm at the Venigni Craft Machine in Hotel Krat, spending Legion Calibers — six take it all the way.
  3. Calibers already spent can be refunded at a Saintess of Mercy statue, so nothing is wasted.
Extreme Potential — P-Organ Phase 5Silver
  1. Defeat the Scrapped Watchman and bring the Core recollection to Geppetto's study at Hotel Krat to unlock the P-Organ.
  2. Spend Quartz on P-Organ abilities; each phase opens after two abilities in the one before it.
  3. Phase 5 is reachable on the first run; Phases 6 and 7 only open in NG+ and are not needed.
Normal Weapon CollectorSilver

"Collect all normal weapons." 29 weapons — everything that is not a boss or collaboration weapon, and none of the Overture DLC ones. Almost all of them sit in chests and safes along the main path; two are sold only by a merchant who leaves.

Prerequisites

  1. Buy the two starting weapons you did not pick from the Wandering Merchant in Cerasani Alley before he moves on.
  2. Hand Pulcinella at Hotel Krat a Venigni Collection box — the Incredible one sits in Estella Opera House — to unlock the Tyrant Murderer's Dagger in his shop.
  3. Hand him a second box — the Fancy one in the Barren Swamp landfill — for the Pistol Rock Drill.
  4. Kill the elite Decay enemy in Hermit's Cave for the Black Steel Cutter.
  5. Buy the Carcass Crystal Axe from Test Subject 826 after Laxasia.

  • Spear of Honor
  • Live Puppet's Axe
  • City Longspear
  • Master Chef's Knife
  • Coil Mjolnir
  • Cursed Knight's Halberd
  • Acidic Great Curved Sword
The Cerasani Alley merchant disappears. You keep whichever of Puppet's Saber, Wintry Rapier and Greatsword of Fate you chose at the start; the other two are sold only by him, for 300 Ergo each. Buy both on your first pass.
Special Weapon CollectorSilver

"Collect all special weapons." 11 weapons, all of them missable. Ten are traded for boss Ergos, one per boss; the eleventh grows out of a painting once your Humanity is maxed. The Azure Dragon Crescent Glaive from the collaboration patch and the Overture DLC weapons are not counted.

Prerequisites

  1. Never consume a boss Ergo and never trade one for an amulet. Every trade here spends the Ergo, so one Ergo is one weapon.
  2. Meet Alidoro near the St. Frangelico Cathedral Library Stargazer and send him to Hotel Krat — either answer works. He runs the Ergo exchange.
  3. If you kill Alidoro later, Explorer Hugo takes over the same shop at Hotel Krat.
  4. Refuse Geppetto and kill the Nameless Puppet for the last Ergo; trade it after the credits or in NG+.
  5. For Golden Lie: give the Portrait of a Boy from the Black Rabbit Brotherhood hideout to Geppetto, then reach Humanity 10. The earliest it can happen is Chapter XI.

All special weapons (11)

Boss Ergo trades (10)
  • Seven-Coil Spring Sword — Parade Master's Ergo *
  • Etiquette — Scrapped Watchman's Ergo *
  • Holy Sword of the Ark — King's Flame's Ergo *
  • Trident of the Covenant — Fallen Archbishop's Ergo *
  • Puppet Ripper — King of Puppets' Ergo *
  • Frozen Feast — Champion Victor's Ergo *
  • Two Dragons Sword — Green Monster's Ergo *
  • Uroboros's Eye — Laxasia's Ergo *
  • Noblesse Oblige — Simon Manus's Ergo *
  • Proof of Humanity — Nameless Puppet's Ergo *
Portrait of a Boy (1)
  • Golden Lie *
Golden Lie needs the maximum Humanity level. The nose of the Portrait of a Boy in Geppetto's study grows with Humanity and only turns into the weapon at level 10. One cycle rarely gets there: lie every time, listen to every record in full, and the NG+-only golden records usually push you over.
Legion Arm CollectorSilver

"Collect all Legion Arms." 8 arms — two are handed to you, six are crafted from Legion Plugs at the Venigni Craft Machine in Hotel Krat. The Overture DLC arms are not counted. Nothing here is missable.

Prerequisites

  1. Defeat the Parade Master so Eugénie opens her workbench and gives you the Puppet String.
  2. Rescue Venigni and defeat King's Flame, Fuoco, so the Venigni Craft Machine appears at Hotel Krat.
  3. Find six Legion Plugs — one per arm — and craft each arm at the machine.

All Legion Arms (8)

Given to you (2)
  • Left Arm of Steel
  • Puppet String
Crafted from Legion Plugs (6)
  • Flamberge
  • Fulminis
  • Aegis
  • Pandemonium
  • Falcon Eyes
  • Deus Ex Machina
Golden MelodySilver

"Collect and play all records." 16 records, and each must be played on the gramophone at Hotel Krat, not just owned. Ten are available on the first run; six only exist in NG+, and Eugénie's two records exclude each other in a single cycle. This is the trophy that forces the second playthrough.

Prerequisites

  1. Return the Broken Baby Puppet to the Weeping Woman on Elysion Boulevard and lie to her.
  2. Collect the Holy Mark and read Cecile's confession in the St. Frangelico Cathedral Library.
  3. Give Adelina a Red Apple before you kill the King of Puppets.
  4. Agree to give the Red Fox and Black Cat a Gold Coin Fruit in the Grand Exhibition Conference Room.
  5. Tell Belle at Hotel Krat that her friend died fighting — the lie, not the truth.
  6. Kill the elite shielded Decay enemy in Hermit's Cave.
  7. Cure Antonia — see Character stories — so her wheelchair holds a record after Laxasia.
  8. After Laxasia, give Sophia peace and search her room.
  9. Kill Alidoro and answer Eugénie: "a talented Stalker" on one cycle, "her older brother" on the other.
  10. In NG+, buy the golden records from the Wandering Merchants and Test Subject 826. They are expensive — bank Ergo.

All records (16)

First playthrough (10)
  • Feel *
  • Divine Service
  • Someday
  • Fascination *
  • Quixotic *
  • Why *
  • Misty E'rA
  • Far East Princess *
  • Memory of Beach *
  • Shadow Flower *
NG+ only (6)
  • Proposal, Flower, Wolf Part 1 *
  • Proposal, Flower, Wolf Part 1 (Golden) *
  • Quixotic (Golden)
  • Shadow Flower (Golden)
  • Memory of Beach (Golden)
  • Fascination (Golden)
Eugénie's answer decides which record you get. "He was just a talented Stalker" gives Far East Princess; "he was her older brother" gives Proposal, Flower, Wolf Part 1. One per cycle — take one on the first run and the other in NG+.
The golden Proposal, Flower, Wolf Part 1 is sold by the Cerasani Alley merchant in NG+. He leaves just as early as on the first run, so buy it at the start of NG+ for 6,000 Ergo.
Play every record to the end on the first run. Each full listen raises Humanity, which Rise of P and Golden Lie both need.
Learning about EmotionsSilver

"Learn all gestures." 17 gestures, two of which you start with. Most come from talking to NPCs at the right moment, so the missable ones are all tied to someone who leaves or dies. The Overture DLC gestures are not counted.

Prerequisites

  1. Talk to Antonia at Hotel Krat after every boss — she teaches three gestures at different points and dies after Laxasia.
  2. Lie to Julian during the Gentleman's side quest at Rosa Isabelle Street.
  3. Give the Red Fox and Black Cat the Gold Coin Fruit they ask for.
  4. Return the Portrait of a Boy from the Black Rabbit Brotherhood hideout to Geppetto.
  5. Talk to Test Subject 826 at Arche Abbey Outer Wall and to Sophia after Laxasia.

All gestures (17)

From the start (2)
  • Sit
  • Check Ground
Antonia (3)
  • Show Off Clothes
  • Greet *
  • Anger *
Venigni (2)
  • Fear
  • Swagger
Side quests (5)
  • Sad *
  • Beg *
  • Clap
  • Happy *
  • Entreat
Letters and events (5)
  • Remembrance
  • Pray
  • Stalker's Promise
  • Taunt
  • Respect
Antonia's gestures are time-gated. Greet comes after the Puppet-Devouring Green Monster and Anger after the Corrupted Parade Master. If you skip Hotel Krat between bosses and she dies after Laxasia, they are gone for the cycle.
Veteran ExplorerSilver

"Decipher all cryptic vessels and claim the rewards." 6 vessels. Venigni reads each one at Hotel Krat and the hint points to a hidden treasure — the trophy needs every treasure dug up, not just every vessel read.

Prerequisites

  1. Rescue Venigni near the Venigni Works Control Room and defeat King's Flame, Fuoco — he moves to Hotel Krat and deciphers vessels from then on.
  2. Talk to Rookie Explorer Hugo at the Barren Swamp Bridge until he runs out of dialogue.
  3. Finish the Special Krat Supply Box request so Polendina's shop at Hotel Krat stocks the Rusty Cryptic Vessel.
  4. Kill Alidoro at the Relic of Trismegistus Combat Field instead of sparing him.
  5. Carry Frozen Feast for the Mechanical Cryptic Vessel's treasure — the hint needs its frost to reveal it.

All cryptic vessels (6)

Cryptic vessels (6)
  • Crafted Cryptic Vessel
  • Jeweled Cryptic Vessel
  • Old Cryptic Vessel
  • Rusty Cryptic Vessel
  • Alidoro's Cryptic Vessel *
  • Mechanical Cryptic Vessel
Sparing Alidoro costs you this trophy for the cycle. His vessel only drops when he dies, after the Black Rabbit Brotherhood rematch. Killing him also moves his shop to Explorer Hugo and starts Eugénie's last story, so there is no downside.
End of RiddlesSilver

"Discover all Trinity Sanctums." 5 sanctums. The King of Riddles, Arlecchino, calls from ringing phones around Krat; a right answer earns a Trinity Key, and each key opens a sealed sanctum somewhere else. The trophy pops when you enter the fifth.

Prerequisites

  1. Krat City Hall Courtyard phone: Human.
  2. Malum District phone: Candle.
  3. Grand Exhibition Gallery phone: Egg — then turn the statue's hands to reveal the key.
  4. Krat Central Station Street phone: Ergo.
  5. Relic of Trismegistus phone, at the edge of the pit before the boss: either answer gives The Chosen One's Trinity Key.

All Trinity Sanctums (5)

Trinity Sanctums (5)
  • Workshop Union Culvert
  • St. Frangelico Cathedral Chapel
  • Estella Opera House Entrance
  • Krat Central Station Lobby
  • Arche Abbey Outer Wall *
The last sanctum closes with the story. Arche Abbey Outer Wall is reachable only before Simon Manus, and the same visit decides Venigni's story — see Character stories. Open it on your way through Chapter XI.
Character storiesBronze ×3

"Find out about the last story of X." Three questlines that end before the final boss and can be closed off by skipping one step. Geppetto's and Sophia's stories are letters read after an ending, so they live on the Endings tab; Simon Manus's is automatic.

The Story of the Prince — VenigniBronze
  1. Find Venigni near the Venigni Works Control Room and defeat King's Flame, Fuoco, so he moves to Hotel Krat.
  2. Read the book "Scandal! V, the Tragedy Behind the Flamboyance" — in the Lorenzini Arcade washroom near the Wandering Merchant.
  3. Get every Trinity Key and reach the King of Riddles in the Arche Abbey Outer Wall sanctum.
  4. Ask Arlecchino about "the truth behind the Venigni incident" to receive the Moon World Warrior Toy.
  5. Give the toy to Venigni at Hotel Krat before killing Simon Manus.
The Story of the Refined Old Lady — AntoniaBronze
  1. After Champion Victor, give Giangio a Gold Coin Fruit upstairs at Hotel Krat so he crafts the Cure for Antonia.
  2. Take the cure to Polendina; she gives it to Antonia. Reload the area and talk to Antonia by her portrait.
  3. Keep playing until Laxasia is dead, then return to Hotel Krat from the Ascension Bridge Stargazer.
  4. Antonia has passed away. Talk to Polendina, then collect what she left on the wheelchair in Geppetto's study — a record among it.
The Story of a Stranger Girl — EugénieBronze
  1. Defeat the Black Rabbit Brotherhood at the Relic of Trismegistus, continue uphill and kill Alidoro for his Cryptic Vessel.
  2. Give the vessel to Venigni at Hotel Krat and read his decryption.
  3. Talk to Eugénie and answer about Alidoro — either answer completes the story, but each gives a different record.
  4. Reload the area at a Stargazer and talk to her once more.
Venigni's toy has a hard deadline. Once Simon Manus is dead the story is over and the toy can no longer be delivered. The Arche Abbey Outer Wall sanctum is the last stop before him, so do the whole Trinity chain in advance.
The Three EndingsGold ×3SilverBronze ×2

Two choices decide the ending: what you do with Sophia after Laxasia, and whether you give Geppetto your heart after Simon Manus. Humanity decides whether refusing leads to Rise of P or to Free from the Puppet String. Three post-game trophies need you to stay in the finished world instead of starting NG+.

SAVE BACKUP: Lies of P only autosaves. After Laxasia, back up your save (cloud or USB) before entering Sophia's room. Take one ending, finish its post-game trophies, restore the backup and take the next. All three fit in one playthrough.
Real boy: They all lived happily ever afterGold
Free from the puppet stringGold
Rise of PGold

Humanity for Rise of P

  1. Lie at the Hotel Krat entrance and to Antonia when she asks about her youth.
  2. Lie to the Weeping Woman, Julian, Belle and Polendina when each gives you the choice.
  3. Lie to Venigni about the Ergo recordings and to Eugénie about Alidoro's glove.
  4. Lie to Simon Manus after Champion Victor, and again after his boss fight.
  5. Answer every one of Arlecchino's riddles correctly, and tell the King of Riddles you are human.
  6. Finish Antonia's and Eugénie's stories, and play every record to the end.
  7. Rise of P needs Humanity 8. When Sophia's hair turns white as you give her peace, you have enough.

Real boy: They all lived happily ever after

At the Under the Abyss Stargazer, give Geppetto your heart. Humanity and the Sophia choice do not matter. P becomes Geppetto's obedient puppet and there is no final boss.

Free from the puppet string

After Laxasia, choose "Let her live" for Sophia. Then refuse Geppetto and defeat the Nameless Puppet. Humanity only ever goes up, so on a high-Humanity save this choice is what forces this ending.

Rise of P

After Laxasia, choose "Give her peace" with Humanity 8 or higher. Then refuse Geppetto and defeat the Nameless Puppet.

After the credits

The Story of One Father — after Real boyBronze
  1. Take the Real boy ending.
  2. After the credits, decline NG+ and continue in the finished world.
  3. Pick up the letter from the writing desk in Geppetto's study at Hotel Krat and read it from Collectibles.
The Story of the Blue Butterfly — after Rise of PBronze
  1. Take the Rise of P ending.
  2. After the credits, decline NG+ and continue in the finished world.
  3. Pick up the letter from the writing desk in Geppetto's study at Hotel Krat and read it from Collectibles.
Pianist of Krat — after any endingSilver
  1. Finish the game with any ending.
  2. After the credits, decline NG+ and continue in the finished world.
  3. Go to the room at Hotel Krat where you first met Antonia and play the piano there.
Starting NG+ from the credits skips all three. The prompt after the credits defaults to a new cycle. Decline it — you can start NG+ later from the Hotel Krat Stargazer.
