Despite the wide range of unique weapon designs, Lies of P only includes 5 weapon categories: blunt weapons, swords, daggers, large blunt weapons, and greatswords.

Among these categories, greatswords appear to be the most common. Therefore, it is beneficial to review the greatswords that outshine others. While players can excel with any weapon in typical Soulslike games, here are some greatswords in Lies of P that require minimal effort to achieve significant damage output.

10 Greatsword Of Fate

To kick things off, we have the Greatsword of Fate, one of the three default weapons in Lies of P. This particular weapon stands out for its exceptional handle. Not only does it possess impressive early-game Motivity scaling, but its attack pattern also complements a wide range of blade+handle combinations. Regrettably, as you progress further, the Greatsword of Fate is overshadowed by superior greatsword blades like the Booster Glaive and even falls short in terms of damage when compared to certain Legion Arms.

9 Holy Sword Of The Ark

Moving on to the initial 'boss weapon' featured here, we have the Holy Sword of the Ark. Crafted from the Rare Ergo of Fuoco the King's Flame, one of the game's earliest 'truly difficult' bosses, this weapon is found in Venigni's Workshop. Like all boss weapons, the Holy Sword cannot be disassembled into separate handle and sword components. It is worth noting that while this weapon boasts impressive range, its attack speed is rather sluggish.

8 Live Puppet's Axe

The Live Puppets Axe in Lies of P is hailed as one of the most visually impressive weapons with a 'metal' aesthetic. Its design bears a strong resemblance to the Greataxe designs found in Souls games, but with a unique twist. Rather than being solely constructed from metal, this axe incorporates actual puppet parts and arms. In terms of combat prowess, this weapon is formidable, delivering powerful strikes with slow swings that inflict substantial damage.

Interestingly, if the blade is attached to the default Live Puppets Axe handle, it can obstruct a significant portion of the player's view. Consequently, many players who utilize this weapon suggest opting for a slightly shorter handle to alleviate this issue.

7 Booster Glaive

Moving on to the next greatsword, it's worth discussing a weapon that early-game players can acquire in Lies of P. As anticipated, most of the top-tier weapons are only available in the later stages of the game. However, there's good news as players can easily obtain the Booster Glaive by simply reaching Venigni's Workshop.

This one is yet another unusual illustration of a weapon wherein the handle and blade are primarily utilized in isolation. Players have the option to detach the greatsword blade and affix it to a swifter handle, or to remove the handle and employ it to bestow a lengthier reach to a weightier blade, enhancing the effectiveness of proximity-eliminating fire-empowered assault.

6 Dancer's Curved Sword

While many greatswords on these rankings are included for their exceptional performance in one or two specific areas, the Dancer's Curved Sword stands out as a unique option. Although it may be slightly weaker overall, it compensates by offering a well-rounded performance.

With its impressive moveset, extended reach, wide attack coverage, enjoyable user experience, strong scaling, and the addition of two valuable Fable Arts, the Dancer's Curved Sword proves to be a versatile choice.

5 Frozen Feast

The following addition in the rankings is perhaps the most divisive one. The Frozen Feast, constructed from Champion Victor's Rare Ergo, is a special or 'boss' weapon. This weapon tends to generate mixed opinions among players. One faction of the player base appreciates the immense damage it delivers with each swing, while the other half finds the lengthy waiting time for completing a single swing rather tedious.

4 Spear Of Honor

The weapon may be acknowledged for its slow nature, but that is mainly due to its design revolved around the Liberate Fable Art. This unique ability "releases" the weapon, resulting in a transformation of its appearance and a significant increase in attack speed. Moreover, the Frozen Feast wields importance as it is crucial to complete a side quest in the later stages of the game, allowing players to obtain a specific costume that is typically concealed behind specific Non-Playable Characters (NPCs) or Trinity Doors. Due to these factors, the Frozen Feast holds a high value among players.

The setting of Lies of P combines elements of alchemy, mechanical innovation, and medical diseases, resulting in visually diverse weapons. Take the Spear of Honor, for example. Despite its classification as a spear, it resembles more of a drill than a traditional spear. Additionally, it stands out among other greatswords due to its ability to inflict both Slash and Stab damage.

However, in order to compensate for its unconventional design, the standard attacks of the Spear of Honor prove challenging to master during combat. Instead, its heavy attacks and charge attacks are what truly make this weapon stand out. When executing these attacks, Pinocchio charges forward, swiftly rotating the spear and inflicting a multitude of hits on the enemy simultaneously.

3 Seven-Coil Spring Sword

Taking a closer look at the final boss weapon featured here, we have the Seven-Coil Spring Sword. In comparison to other powerful weapons obtained in the later stages of the game, the Seven-Coil Spring Sword falls slightly behind. However, its exceptional ranking can be attributed to the fact that players can obtain this sword relatively early on. Crafted from the incredibly rare Ergo dropped by the Parade Master, who is considered the true first boss of the game.

However, players will still need to find Alidoro the Treasure Hunter to trade the Rare Ergo in for the Spring Sword, so there's still a bit of waiting involved.

2 Bone-Cutting Saw

1 Black Steel Cutter

Undoubtedly, the Bone-Cutting Saw stands out as one of the most Bloodborne-like weapons throughout the entire game in terms of visual design. This formidable weapon exudes sheer power and ferocity. It may ring a bell for those familiar with the weapon, as it is the very same weapon employed by the Mad Donkey in confrontation with Pinocchio. The reason behind his choice becomes apparent once one experiences the incredible efficacy of this weapon in tearing apart adversaries. Typically, players tend to favor the blade aspect of the weapon, often coupling it with a swift or long-reaching handle. This combination, without fail, elevates the weapon's potency to an astonishing level.

The Black Steel Cutter is considered one of the most effective weapons against Carcass enemies. It is an upgraded version of the Bone Cutting Saw, boasting improved Fable Arts. With its innate fire damage, the blade is highly versatile and can be used in various combinations. Moreover, the weapon's popularity within the community is evident, as it is highly regarded for its effectiveness as an Advance weapon. Although the scaling in Motivity and Technique is limited, players can still optimize their builds by using the appropriate Cranks.
