All the Lies of P Endings – How to Unlock the Bad, Good and True Endings

There are only 14 decisive moments in the game. In each of them you will have to make a choice: tell the truth or lie. Surprisingly, it’s the truthful answers that will lead you to the worst ending (which is weird). However, such decisions are far from the only factor. Closer to the finale, you will have to decide whether to give your heart to Geppetto, and what to do with Sofia.

There is an opinion on the Internet that it is better to lie during the first playthrough, because the maximum level of this indicator will unlock all secret weapons. Plus, you can still get the fuller ending. There is no definitive good or bad ending in Lies of P, but there is one that will give you the most information.

Below we list all the places where you have to make a choice. As in Bloodborne, side quests are given by unknown characters hidden behind the windows of houses. Look around carefully so as not to miss a new window of light.

You move across the rooftops. Before you jump to the ground, inspect the right side of the house with the lighted window via the scaffolding. Inside is an upset woman who will ask you to save her child.

Continue forward along the level until you reach a hallway. On the right is a large doll digging through a mountain of corpses. This is the area before the boss fight. Defeat the doll and grab the baby doll among the bodies. After grabbing the item, return to the crying woman and give it to the “daughter”. Choose what you want to tell her:

After clearing the Venigni factory, head to the Cathedral of St. Frangelico. Soon you reach an iron elevator, which is protected by a huntress in a dog mask. She will ask if Pi is a guard:

When you finally reach the cathedral library, clear the area. As a result, you will find yourself on a balcony from which two paths lead. One up the stairs, the other into the elevator – you go there.

Take the elevator and you will immediately see Alidoro, a hunter with the head of a dog:

From the astrologer, go to the right and talk to the man with the top hat. This is a gentleman, Julian, who asks for his deceased wife’s belongings to be returned. Follow the pipes until you reach the city. At some point you’ll end up in an area with chimney sweep dolls. Go up the stairs, cross the bridge and then go down. There will be a corpse of a woman dressed in a black dress lying against the wall. Once you’re close enough, Gemeni will point it out to you.

Grab your things and return to Julian via the shortcut. Then choose what you want to say:

After defeating the Puppet King, talk to Antonia:

After talking to Antonia, talk to Polendino at the fountain outside:

After defeating Champion Victor and speaking to Simon Manus:

Evgenia wants to know what Alidoro’s gloves are like.

During the passage you will find NPC Belle, who will later move to the hotel. Defeat the Corrupted Parade Master and after receiving information from Antonia about the secret passage behind the portrait, talk to Belle. She wants you to find her partner. Travel to Krat Central Station. Go right, down the stairs, turn around and enter the carriage. There is an infected person standing there, but he will not attack.

Talk to the NPC to receive the letter. Return to Belle:

After defeating the Black Rabbit Brotherhood in the Trisimegistus Relic arena, return to the Krat Hotel and talk to Venigni:

After Venigni deciphers Alidoro’s mysterious ship, read it and talk to Eugenia:

After opening the last Trinity Sanctuary, find the astrologer, follow into the room with two beams and talk to Arlecchino:

Talk to Sofia after defeating Laxasia:

After finding Geppetto in the prison cell:

After defeating Simon Manus, inform him of Sophia’s fate:

The simplest and most uninformative ending, which does not depend at all on the amount of lies or truth. Defeat Simon Manus and then take the elevator to the Stargazer Below the Abyss. Talk to Geppetto and agree to his request to give your heart. After all the cutscenes, do not start New Game+, but return to the hotel and visit Geppetto’s office. There is a letter on the table that you can read to get the achievement “A Father’s Story.” Also interact with the piano to get another ‘Pianist Crate’ reward.

This ending requires a few extra steps. First, you will have to choose to tell only the truth in all cases. Also answer ‘stay alive’ in the dialogue with Sofia on the Ascension Bridge and tell Simon about it: ‘I freed her from the Abbey of Arche.’ In the final dialogue with Geppetto, refuse to give up your heart.

If you’ve done everything right, the real final boss will open: another doll. After winning, you can get several achievements: “Freedom from Puppet Strings”, “First Puppet”. You will also receive the Proof of Humanity secret weapon when you trade the Ergo from the first doll with Hugo. This is required for the ‘Special Weapon Collector’ achievement. As in the previous ending, you can interact with the piano to receive the ‘Pianist Crate’ reward.

The ending that will require the most effort from you. But you will see the most screensavers and get the most definitive information.

In all dialogues you must lie (this is a requirement). When talking to Sofia on the Voznesensky Bridge, select “Give her peace.” As with all other options: defeat Simon Manus.

Before you talk to Geppetto about the heart, go to the hotel. Listen to all the music records one by one and then go to the inventor’s office. There should already be a portrait hanging there with that same nose growing on it. If you do it right, the nose will become a secret weapon of the Golden Lie.

Now you can return to Geppetto and refuse to give up your heart. Defeat the real final boss: the Nameless Puppet.

After the credits, go to the inventor’s office in the hotel and read the letter to receive the achievement “The Story of a Blue Butterfly”. You can also pick up all previously announced achievements except Geppetto’s letter.

Officially, you have to replay the game three times to see all three endings. In reality, though, you can make your life easier and save it to the cloud before talking to Geppetto. Since choices don’t matter in the Real Boy ending, you get to see at least two endings anyway.
