The Hidden Powers of Gold Coin Fruit: A Superstitious Secret for Black Cats

In Lies of P, players will encounter a variety of characters who can either aid or hinder their progress. Depending on the choices made by the players, friendships can turn into enmities and vice versa. One particular decision that presents a dilemma involves the Black Cat, a recurring non-playable character (NPC). Throughout the players' quest to uncover the truth behind the puppet frenzy, they will meet the Black Cat and his sister, Red Cat, for the first time at Venigni Works. The siblings will then relocate to the Malum District, where they will propose a partnership to defeat the Black Rabbit Brotherhood, a prominent boss in Lies of P. The players have the option to accept or decline this offer, though it will not significantly impact the gameplay. Subsequently, at the Grand Exhibition Gallery, the Black Cat and Red Cat will request a Gold Coin Fruit. Upon providing them with this item, players will receive the Quixotic record. The last encounter with the Black Cat occurs at Arche Abbey.

During the final interaction, the Black Cat will once again ask players for the Gold Coin Fruit. It will be revealed that the Black Cat is suffering from a deteriorating eyesight and needs the item to cure himself. Once again, players will be presented with two options: Give the Black Cat the Gold Coin Fruit or do not give it to him. Opting to give the Black Cat the Gold Coin Fruit will result in players receiving the Black Cat Mask.

Alternatively, the option to withhold the Gold Coin Fruit from the Black Cat may result in a conflict. While the Black Cat poses a considerable challenge, strategic planning can lead to his defeat. Equipped with a spear that grants him a decent range, players can effectively counter this powerful human adversary by utilizing the following items:

The Amulet of the Murderer Puppet

Acid Grindstone

Aegis Legion Arm

With the help of these items, defeating the Black Cat becomes much easier. Players can choose to wield a greatsword with Aegis to vanquish the enemy, considering their own physique. Alternatively, they can rely on their swiftness to evade the attacks and then counter them. Substantially increasing the damage inflicted, players should enhance their weapon with the Acid Grindstone, making it an essential tool. Once the Black Cat is defeated, players can expect to obtain the highly sought-after Black Cat Mask.
