There are many powerful weapons in Lies of P. One of the main features of the game is combining different blades or heads with handles. This allows for a lot of customization, though it is also possible to make a poor combination. But, there are also unique weapons that can’t be dissembled but are still strong.
It is a good idea to carry around multiple weapon options. Each deals a different type of damage and uses different stats for scaling. There is even the option of respecing your whole character build around a new weapon. But, what works in one fight might not be suitable for every encounter.
7 Fire Axe Handle
The Fire Axe is a very balanced weapon. The head itself does a fair amount of damage for a one-handed option. But what you should look forward to is using the handle with other blades. The weapon is initially found in a chest in the Workshop Union Culvert. Part of the tunnels will burst open due to explosives, and the axe can be found within.
The handle has C scaling with both Motivity and Technique, making it a great option for many blades. Consider combining it with other similar heads like the Military Shovel Blade, Cursed Knight’s Halberd Blade, or Puppet’s Saber Blade. The handle also grants the Endure Fable Art, which can prevent suffering damage and being staggered for a short window.
6 Salamander Dagger Blade
The Salamander Dagger is one of the most reliable means of adding fire damage to your arsenal. The full weapon is found in the Workshop Union Entrance. There will be a large hole that at first looks dangerous. Bravely, leap down and deal with the Blank Puppets inside. You can then pick up the dagger as a reward.
The full weapon is good on its own but becomes even better when paired with other elemental or Advance scaled handles. Consider Acidic Crystal Spear Handle for more reach, Acidic Great Curved Great Sword Handle for pure power, or the Circular Electric Chainsaw Handle for better guarding. The Salamander Dagger Blade itself has the Ignite Fable Art. This will deal additional fire-based damage, but not physical output.
5 Golden Lie
The Golden Lie is among the best weapons in the whole game. Unfortunately, it is also one of the last weapons you can earn in Lies of P. You must also plan ahead and lie at every possible instance. Choosing the truth option even once will make the weapon inaccessible. You must also give the Portrait of the Boy to Geppetto before challenging the last boss. If done correctly, the Golden Lie will grow out of painting after the credits roll, but before choosing to enter New Game Plus mode.
The Golden Lie itself is a relatively fast blunt mace. It scales well with Motivity and Technique, making it a good replacement for Fire Axe users. But its real gem is both of its Fable Arts: Storm Attack and Furious Golden Hits. Storm attack has Pinocchio strike with three quick hits. Furious Golden Hits attacks and defends at the same time, making you nearly invincible to most counters.
4 Two Dragons Sword
The Two Dragons Sword is one of the unique weapons made from rare boss Ergo. In this case, you must first defeat the Puppet Devouring Green Monster in the Barren Swamp. Bring the Ergo to Alidoro in Saint Frangelico Cathedral Library. After making any initial weapon they will then move to Hotel Kart for the remainder of the game.
As a unique weapon, the Two Dragons Sword cannot be dissembled and must be wielded whole. It has two great Fable Arts: Link Emergence Dodge, which makes Pinocchio dodge effortlessly; and Wind of Swords, which deals area of effect damage in a short cone. Additionally, using basic attacks allows you to move slightly forward, making it very easy to evade incoming attacks.
3 Holy Sword of the Ark
The Holy Sword of the Ark is another unique weapon. This time you must defeat The King’s Flame, Fucoco at Venigni Works Control Room. Give the Ergo to Alidoro and he will forge the new weapon. While the Holy Sword of the Ark starts as a greatsword, one of its Fable Arts reduces its size.
Normally, the weapon’s main Fable Art is Patient Smash which deals a single devastating attack. But, its second art of Alter shrinks the handle and reduces stamina consumption. Additionally, during Alter’s duration, Patient Smash also transforms into a multi-hit attack that can strike up to five times in quick succession.
2 Electric Coil Stick Head and Handle
The Electric Coil Stick is one of the best stand-alone weapons. While other options are great for mixing and matching, this one is at its best when using both the head and handle in their default state. The full Electric Coil Stick is purchased for 1,200 Ergo from the Wandering Merchant in the House on Elysian Boulevard.
The weapon is great for its B rank in Advance scaling. Though its base damage is physical, it can be amped up with Electric damage with the Fable Art Generate. Its handle-based Fable Art is Rush Smash, which causes you to jump and strike downward quickly. Like the Salamander Dagger, if you do choose to reassemble the parts, always pair them with other Advance-based weapons.
1 Puppet Ripper
The Puppet Ripper might be the most devastating fully Technique-based weapon in Lies of P. Like all other special weapons, you must first defeat a certain boss and bring its Ergo to Alidoro. In this case, the target is the Puppet King of the Estella Opera House. This is around halfway through the game, allowing you to use it for quite a while.
The Puppet Ripper is a fearsome scythe-like weapon. It is both strong and relatively fast, allowing a devastating barrage of blows. Even better both of its Fable Arts: Quick Upward Slash, which hits in an upward arc; and Storm Spinning Slash, which attacks in a spinning motion. This makes the weapon not only good for large bosses, but also for taking on groups of smaller foes.
