Are you ready to lie or die? I hope so! I’m Ji Won Choi, Project Director for Lies of P which will launch on PS4 and PS5 on September 19th. We quickly gathered a large community of fans after the announcement of the title and we are SO excited they can finally taste the adventure that awaits them in Krat in the Lies of P demo is now available on the PS Store.
You may know that Lies of P is a Souls-like action game inspired by the story of everyone’s favorite liar, Pinochio, set in a dark Belle Époque world. But do you know how to “lie” through the first two chapters of the game? I’m not going to tell you a step-by-step guide and take experience, but I’ll be your “blue fairy” of sorts with pointers you won’t get anywhere else!
But before you start, here’s what you can expect from the demo:
Explore Krat
This demo gives you just a taste of what is explorable in Krat but there is a lot to discover! So be sure to explore the area as you make your way to Hotel Krat. You can simply discover secrets that help P become stronger and additional background information.
Weapon Assembly / Weapon Combination
Create unique weapons by taking hilts and blades and fusing them into something new for all new attributes and styles. After meeting Gepgetto, you can start experimenting by talking to Eugenie at Hotel Krat or finding an Astronomer.
fable arts
Each weapon has two Fable Arts – one for the blade and one for the handle. The fable arts have a wide range of uses, from boosting your defense to dealing damage in spectacular fashion
Legion Arm Loadouts
There are three available in the demo, each with a unique objective that you can customize to suit your playstyle and weapon. Go to the Venigni crafting machine in Hotel Krat to change your Legion arm.
Improve P
Increase all of your attributes in exchange for Ergo by talking to Sophia at Hotel Krat. The more your attributes increase, the higher the Ergo cost. What are you going to improve first? You will be able to upgrade P through Stargazer before meeting Sophia in this demo.
Star Gazers / Star Gazers
Using a Stargazer will replenish your health, but enemies also respawn, so only use them if you really need them.
Groggy and deadly attacks
When attacking enemies, they become Groggy (see the white outline around the health bar). After stunning a groggy enemy, use a fatal attack to punish them during this window.
Before facing the Parade Master
Buy throwing cells from the wandering merchant located just outside the boss encounter. This is a particularly effective throwable item for this boss. They deal shock damage from a distance and make the boss more susceptible to damage from melee attacks for a short time.
Be sure to upgrade Stargazer’s P outside of Hotel Krat before facing the Parade Master.
Scrapper with the Scrapped Watchman
Use a Star Fragment to summon a Specter outside the boss room to aid you in this encounter.
He will use an electric elemental attack in the second phase, so it is recommended to use parts with electric damage reduction.
Electric shock status will cause more damage to this boss. Be sure to use the Attribute Purification Bulb to prevent this from happening.
Comments, please
The developers of Lies of P have worked hard to deliver a demo they are proud of. But none of that means anything unless you, the community, feel the same way. Please share your feedback with us and we’ll post the best Lies of P experience possible this September 19th.
