The Ultimate Arsenal: 10 Essential Weapons to Maximize Your Power

Highlights

Lies of P features a Weapon Assembly system that allows players to try hundreds of different combinations of handles and blades, adding variety to the Soulslike subgenre.

Certain blades in Lies of P have a greater impact when upgraded, making them more formidable choices for players to invest their hard-earned Moonstones into.

The game features Boss Weapons that possess immense power, capable of effortlessly guiding players through the game when upgraded. One such weapon is the Uroboross Eye, which is unlocked in the later stages of the game. This weapon boasts rapid attacks, substantial damage, and an overwhelmingly dominant ranged Fable Art.

In Lies of P, players have access to approximately 40 weapons that they can discover and experiment with. This game introduces a Weapon Assembly system to the Soulslike subgenre, allowing players to explore countless combinations of handles and blades.

However, it is important to note that only the blades can be enhanced in Lies of P. Not all blades offer the same significant impact when upgraded. Now, let's explore the top-notch blades and overall weapons that Pinocchio should consider investing their hard-earned Moonstone in.

10 All 'Boss Soul' Rare Ergo Weapons

To begin, let's address the Boss Weapons. Once players encounter Alidoro the Treasure Hunter and succeed in convincing him to return to Hotel Krat, they will gain access to the Boss Weapons shop. Here's the deal: trading a specific Rare Ergo with Alidoro will grant players the option to choose between an exceedingly potent amulet or an exceptionally mighty weapon. This particular dilemma serves as an incentive for players to venture into NG+ after completing their initial playthrough.

These weapons, although unable to be disassembled and combined with others, possess exceptional power. Actually, players can confidently select any of them and rely on it to effortlessly progress through the game as long as they continuously upgrade it. Take, for instance, the Uroboross Eye. While this weapon is only unlocked in the later stages of the game, once players acquire it, they will gain access to an extraordinary technique weapon featuring swift attacks, immense damage, and even an overwhelmingly potent ranged Fable Art.

9 Electric Coil Stick

Coming up next is the Electric Coil Stick, a weapon that players will come across early on in Lies of P. Elemental Damage plays a crucial role in this game, mainly derived from the Advance stat, making weapons with innate elemental abilities highly coveted.

The Electric Coil Stick is an exceptional discovery because it is obtained in an area completely overrun by Puppets, who are particularly vulnerable to Electric Blitz damage.

8 Acidic Crystal Spear

In line with the concept of the Electric Coil Stick, the Acidic Crystal Spear proves to be a superior choice for enhancing elemental impact. This formidable weapon inflicts a considerable amount of Acid damage, making it particularly effective against both humanoid adversaries and other opponent types.

But, what sets the Acidic Crystal Spear apart from the Electric Coil Stick is its remarkable reach during attacks. Moreover, its Single Stab Fable Art is a game-changer for players in boss fights, allowing them to utilize it with confidence and without facing instant repercussions.

7 Black Steel Cutter

Players may notice a recurring theme in the items featured on this list, with many of them being Fire, Electric Blitz, or Acid-based. The Black Steel Cutter, however, stands out as a weapon that can only be obtained in the final stages of Lies of P. Once players uncover it, they will surely desire to upgrade the blade, if nothing else.

Although the moveset of the Black Steel Cutter Handle is not particularly outstanding, the Blade itself is exceptional and even includes the Sword Slash Fable Art. When combined with a weapon that already has some level of reach, the Black Steel Cutter Blade immediately extends its reach by twofold.

6 Booster Glaive

An early game item that players can experiment with is the Booster Glaive. It can be discovered in Venigni's Workshop, located near the Workshop Union Culvert Stargazer. Inside a chest positioned just behind a towering Puppet of the Future, players will stumble upon this beloved item that holds great significance within the Lies of P player community.

One, the handle's Charge Attack offers players a visually stunning 'flame-boost swing' that is highly effective for closing the gap. Two, the Glaive's Greatsword Blade is a significant improvement over the initial Greatsword of Fate. And three, the Handle and Blade of the Fable Arts provide excellent performance. In fact, one of the most powerful weapon combinations in the game combines the Booster Glaive's Blade with the Krat Police Baton's Handle, indicating the immense potential of this weapon.

5 Coil Mjolnir

In Lies of P, players will unfortunately have to wait until the final part of the story to receive the Coil Mjolnir Head, another powerful weapon. This enormous hammer, named after Thor's iconic weapon, is incredibly heavy. It boasts a Fable Art that summons lightning.

The Fable Art is integrated into the blade itself, allowing players to attach this hammerhead to any handle. It becomes a weapon exclusively for those deemed "worthy", providing them with the ability to constantly infuse the hammer with Electric Blitz damage. However, caution is advised as the weight of this weapon requires players to manage their Capacity or consider using a lighter Legion Arm as a backup option.

4 Exploding Pickaxe

Surprisingly, despite the apparent superiority of Technique weapons over Motivity ones in Lies of P, there is a significant presence of Motivity-based (also known as Strength) blades on this list. Interestingly, equipping these weighty weapon blades onto handles designed for quick attacks often results in the creation of something remarkably overpowering, perhaps providing a plausible explanation for this phenomenon.

The Exploding Pickaxe is not only an illustration of this concept but also exemplifies a weapon where both the Handle and Blade hold significant value. The Blade inflicts substantial damage and is accompanied by one of the superior Fable Arts in the game, Flamestrike, while the Handle is one of the exceptional handles that scales with Motivity and maintains a relatively rapid attack pattern.

3 Big Pipe Wrench

Finally, we have reached the point where we can discuss the giant wrench weapon in Lies of P. The oversized Wrench in this dark and atmospheric game not only provides amusement but also proves to be an astonishing weapon. However, it is worth noting that the Big Pipe Wrench Handle is one of the slowest handle options available and should be avoided whenever possible.

On the other hand, if players choose to attach the Big Pipe Wrench Head to a handle like the Krat Police Baton Handle, they will witness an incredible increase in damage output from their creation. Although the Pipe Wrench may sacrifice attack speed, it compensates by delivering a substantial amount of damage with each hit.

2 Circular Electric Chainsaw

In Lies of P, there are two circular-shaped chainsaw-type weapons, which deviate from the more commonly known elongated rounded shape. Unlike the other chainsaw choices, the Circular Electric Chainsaw Blade in this game does not necessitate the acquisition of a Rare Ergo.

However, players will not come across

1 Bramble Curved Sword

1 Bramble Curved Sword

Next up is the Bramble Curved Sword, another one of the elusive Technique-focused blades featured here. Lies of P appears to prioritize Technique handles for optimal performance, while Motivity blades deliver the highest damage output. However, the Bramble Curved Sword surpasses expectations by offering respectable scaling in both Motivity and Technique, making it a truly versatile weapon.

In addition to its remarkable versatility, this blade boasts the extraordinary Fable Art Storm Slash and a remarkable overall reach. Meanwhile, the handle is equipped with Furious Slash, delivering powerful wide-sweeping attacks that excel regardless of the blade used in conjunction with it.

Lies of P is available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
