The Ultimate Guide to Frame Defense: Unveiling the Top 6 P Parts for Ultimate Protection

Highlights

Lies of P strays from the classic Souls formula by offering a unique defense system that doesn't affect Pinocchio's appearance.

In Lies of P, players can equip four different defense parts that offer resistance against physical damage. Acquiring these defense parts early in the game is crucial as they significantly enhance Pinocchio's ability to survive.

Despite drawing inspiration from the Soulslike sub-genre and its intense gameplay, Lies of P diverges from the traditional Souls formula in various aspects, resulting in a fresh and unique experience. One notable departure is the defense parts, which function similarly to armor pieces in the Souls games but do not alter Pinocchio's appearance.

Unlike the requirement to don bulky chest pieces or worn-looking gauntlets for increased defense in Souls, Lies of P allows players to freely choose from a wide range of costumes. These costumes, however, do not affect Pinocchio's level of protection against enemy attacks. Instead, Lies of P offers four distinct defense parts that players can equip on Pinocchio. While the Frames may initially seem inconsequential, as they purely offer physical damage resistance, they are still valuable to obtain as Pinocchio will undoubtedly encounter numerous strikes on his journey.

The Lada F150 Frame, despite its lightness, offers a considerable level of protection, allowing Pinocchio to withstand additional damage in most combat situations. As this Frame can be obtained early in the game, it is advisable to make a detour to acquire it. Since there is a scarcity of Legion Arms and weapons parts at this stage, Pinocchio will need to utilize any tools he finds to ensure his survival.

Upon reaching the chest containing the Frame, it is beneficial to have the Puppet String at hand. Using it to separate the small groups of enemies guarding the chest can prove valuable. In particular, dealing with the Puppet Marksman can be quite troublesome, so pulling him near with the Legion Arm and finishing him off will greatly ease the journey.

The St. Frangelico Cathedral Library is a visually stunning area in the game, filled with secrets. One valuable resource that players can find here is the Workshop Union Strengthening Frame, located above the Stargazer. It is easy to overlook this Frame if players do not take the time to explore their surroundings. However, since there are no enemies guarding it, it is wise to grab it along the way.

It is important for players to note that there are a total of 17 collectible items scattered throughout the St. Frangelico Cathedral Library. These items can greatly benefit Pinocchio in his encounters with the various monsters in Krat. As long as players have enough space in their inventory, they should definitely collect these items. The library is essentially a gold mine of resources.

This particular Frame requires some effort to access, but due to the significant protection it provides, it is advisable not to disregard it. Once Pinocchio reaches the top of the staircase, he must traverse a bridge that overlooks a few flames. As he approaches the door, Puppet Baby enemies will emerge, attempting to hinder Pinocchio's progress towards the tall safe.

These adversaries possess both agility and lethality. Therefore, maintaining a safe distance and eliminating them individually is a much safer approach compared to recklessly charging in, which could result in Pinocchio being surrounded and vulnerable to stun-locking. With adequate knowledge of what to expect, obtaining this Frame is relatively straightforward and beneficial for upcoming areas.

3 Lada F250 Frame

Weight:

19

Physical Damage Reduction:

28.60

Location:

Located deep within the Lorenzini Arcade, the content can be obtained once you have acquired the 1st Floor Key. Proceed to open the gate on the left side of the Stargazer and descend to the lowest level. The Frame can be found and collected from the carcass of the Large Brawler.

Players may easily overlook the Lada F250 Frame while rushing through the intimidating Lorenzini Arcade. However, locating the Frame is just the beginning of the challenge. Once players reach the Frame's location, they will face a formidable Carcass enemy that can prove to be quite troublesome to defeat.

The confined space adds to the difficulty of the encounter, particularly for individuals wielding large greatswords. Carelessness can result in their weapons getting stuck on the walls. Those utilizing faster builds should be able to match the Carcass's speed and disrupt its attacks. On the other hand, those wielding heavier weapons should strive to dodge its slashes and attack it from behind.

2 Arch Extra Heavyweight Frame

Weight:

22.8

Physical Damage Reduction:

32.85

To locate the Frame:

To access the Frame, start at the Abandoned Apartment Stargazer and proceed to the second floor. From there, continue along the path to the right of the Wandering Merchant. Follow the path until you encounter a slanted building. Once inside that building, make your way upstairs and enter another slanted building. The Frame can be obtained from defeating the Bulging Head Carcass enemy.

Getting to this Frame becomes much easier if players have already unlocked the shortcut near the Abandoned Apartments. Otherwise, navigating to it will require Pinocchio to take a few detours and shortcuts. However, players can easily find their way by teleporting to the Stargazer in the area, as there are several prominent landmarks that indicate they are on the right path.

When players come across the Wandering Merchant, they should veer towards the right and keep an eye out for a slanted building. From there, they simply need to search through the buildings until they encounter the Bulging Head Carcass enemy. It is crucial to have upgraded weapons to defeat this enemy, but players can also opt for ranged Legion Arms like Flamberge and Falcon Eyes. Utilizing these weapons will ensure that Pinocchio avoids being overwhelmed by a flurry of attacks.

1 Lada F350 Frame

Weight:

26

Physical Damage Reduction:

37.11

Location:

To locate the content, ascend the ladder near the Arche Abbey Outer Wall Stargazer. Proceed straight ahead, passing the brazier, and then make a left turn where a Sting-Tail Carcass is located. Depart the room, turning right, and eliminate the Carcass enemies obstructing the path. Activate the bridge by utilizing the High-Level Alchemist Badge and retrieve the Frame from the chest situated on the opposite side.

The Lada F350 Frame is the most challenging to locate in the game, but it offers unparalleled protection. It resembles an obstacle course that will require several attempts to conquer. Along the path, there are numerous Carcass enemies as well as hidden traps that can easily throw off Pinocchio. It is advisable to proceed cautiously in order to avoid any unfortunate accidents. Once the gigantic Door Guardian mini-boss at Arche Abbey is defeated, players can obtain the highly sought-after High-Level Alchemist Badge. Since this boss is mandatory, players need not worry about returning to previous areas to find the badge. However, many players tend to overlook its significance, unaware that it unlocks one of the game's best defensive items.

Lies of P is available now on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
