Mastering Krat: A Step-by-Step Trophy Guide
This Lies of P trophy guide breaks down the platinum journey into manageable steps, optimizing your playthrough for trophy efficiency.
Step 1: Humanity Focused Playthrough – Endings, Character Stories, and Special Weapons (30+ Hours)
Your initial playthrough should prioritize achieving maximum Humanity. This is crucial for unlocking the ‘Rise of P’ ending and acquiring the powerful Golden Lie weapon, both tied to significant trophies. Humanity in Lies of P is influenced by your dialogue choices, specifically lying, completing character-specific questlines, and listening to Records.
Consult a dedicated Lies of P All Endings Guide to meticulously track dialogue choices that maximize your Humanity. Simultaneously, follow a comprehensive Lies of P Collectibles Guide to gather all essential items and prevent missable trophies. Collectibles, including Records, largely carry over to New Game+, but ensuring acquisition during your first run minimizes backtracking.
One Playthrough for Three Endings: Save Backup Strategy
Maximize efficiency by obtaining all three endings within your first playthrough using strategic save backups:
- Pre-Sophia Save Point: After defeating the formidable boss “Laxasia The Complete“, halt your progression before entering Sophia’s room. Confirm the completion of all character storylines (Antonia, Eugénie, Venigni) and the collection of available Records to maximize Humanity. The “Your heart is pounding” prompt signifies nearing maximum Humanity. Create a backup save at this point using cloud storage or a USB drive.
- “Free from the Puppet String” Ending: Enter Sophia’s room and choose “Let her live”. Continue through the final area and defeat “Simon Manus Awakened God“. Proceed down the elevator and select “Refuse” when prompted by Geppetto. Triumph over the challenging Nameless Puppet to unlock Free From the Puppet String ending.
- “Real Boy” Ending: Reload your backup save. This time, enter Sophia’s room and choose “Give her peace”. Verify your high Humanity level – white hair after this choice confirms you are on track for the best ending.
- Pre-Geppetto Heart Choice Save: Defeat “Simon Manus Awakened God“ again and descend the elevator. Rest at the Under the Abyss Stargazer. Create a new backup save here.
- “Real Boy” Ending Acquisition: Choose “Give the Heart” when Geppetto requests it to unlock the ‘Real Boy’ Ending and the Real boy: They all lived happily ever after trophy.
- Post-Ending Cleanup (Real Boy): After the credits, remain in Hotel Krat and do NOT start NG+. Locate and read “The Story of One Father” letter in Geppetto’s Study to unlock Pianist of Krat.
- “Rise of P” Ending: Reload your second backup save (from Under the Abyss Stargazer). Select “Refuse” when speaking to Geppetto and defeat the Nameless Puppet once more. Your high Humanity and “Give Sophia peace” choice will trigger the ‘Rise of P’ ending, unlocking Rise of P.
- Post-Ending Cleanup (Rise of P): Again, do NOT proceed to NG+ after the credits. Return to Hotel Krat. Purchase the final Special Weapon, Proof of Humanity, from Explorer Hugo (using Nameless Puppet’s Ergo). Collect and read “The Story of the Blue Butterfly” letter from Geppetto’s Study for The Story of the Blue Butterfly.
- Golden Lie Weapon: Examine the Portrait in Geppetto’s Study. If you have maximized Humanity by listening to all Records, you can interact with the portrait’s nose to obtain the Golden Lie Special Weapon and Special Weapon Collector trophy. If it’s not interactable, ensure all Records have been fully listened to.
Exploring Hotel Krat is essential for story progression and uncovering secrets in Lies of P.
Ergo Management and Character Build
Crucially, do NOT consume Boss Ergos. These are vital for trading with Alidoro or Explorer Hugo for unique Special Weapons needed for the “Special Weapon Collector” trophy. Focus your character build on four core attributes: Vitality, Vigor, Capacity, and either Motivity (strength-based weapons) or Technique (dexterity-based weapons), depending on your preferred playstyle. Capacity is paramount, as it dictates your equip load, enabling you to utilize heavier, more powerful weapons, defensive parts, and amulets effectively.
Step 2: New Game+ and Remaining Records (20+ Hours)
Initiate New Game+ from the Stargazer in Hotel Krat when prepared. NG+ retains your character progression, inventory, and upgrades. Records are also carried over, though they can be re-collected in NG+ (not necessary for trophies). Be aware that NG+ increases difficulty, especially from mid-game bosses onwards. Enemies are significantly more powerful, demanding strategic combat and optimized builds.
During your NG+ playthrough, focus on acquiring any remaining Records needed for the “Golden Melody” trophy. Purchase golden Records from Wandering Merchants, who offer new inventory in NG+. For the third ending, you can choose dialogue options freely, but maintain a minimum Humanity level by choosing lies to ensure you can refuse Geppetto’s request at the end. For the final ending, when you reach Sophia’s room choose “Let her live” and then “Refuse” to give Geppetto the heart.
Step 3: Clean Up and Remaining Trophies
After completing your endings and record collection, focus on any remaining trophies. This might include:
- Legion Arm Collector: If you missed any Legion Arms, revisit Lies of P All Legion Plug Locations to collect all 6 Legion Plugs and craft all arms.
- Normal Weapon Collector: Consult Lies of P All Normal Weapon Locations to locate any missing normal weapons from chests or merchants.
- Gesture Collection: Use the Lies of P All Gestures guide to find and learn all 17 gestures from story progression, side quests, and letters.
- Cryptic Vessels and Trinity Sanctums: Ensure you have completed all Cryptic Vessel quests and solved all riddles for Trinity Keys. Refer to Lies of P All Cryptic Vessel Locations and Solutions and Lies of P All Trinity Key and Sanctum Locations guides.
- Weapon and Legion Arm Upgrades: If you haven’t already, fully upgrade a Normal Weapon, Special Weapon, and Legion Arm for their respective trophies. Guides for upgrade materials are linked in the trophy descriptions below.
