The Ultimate Must-Have: Unveiling the 7 Game-Changing Lower Belt Accessories

Highlights

In Lies of P, players should give top priority to keeping the Grinder on their lower belt. This is because weapon durability becomes more and more crucial, and the Grinder offers the ability to apply temporary effects to weapons.

Venigni's Urgent Repair Tools are indispensable for rapidly repairing weapon durability in critical situations, rendering them indispensable on the lower belt. Ensuring a diverse selection of Abrasives readily available on the lower belt is imperative for imbuing weapons with elemental damage, given its crucial role in battles depending on the enemy type.

In Lies of P, players have various options to effectively use items during combat. They can organize their usable items into distinct categories using their upper belt, lower belt, and quick access bag. The purpose of these organizational tools is to enable players to quickly identify and utilize their items.

However, unlike in other Soulslike games, players have limited slots for items in each belt or bag. Therefore, strategically choosing which items to allocate to each slot becomes crucial. With that in mind, let's explore the top tools and items that players can equip specifically on their lower belt in Lies of P.

7 Weapon Durability Grinder

The first item we have is the Grinder, which is initially located on the Lower Belt and should be kept there throughout the game. As the game progresses, the importance of the Grinder only increases. Eventually, players can unlock Grindstones that allow them to temporarily add elemental or additional effects to their weapon. Additionally, enemies become more demanding on weapon durability as Pinocchio proceeds further in their adventure. While players could technically use Venigni's Repair Tools as a substitute, these items are quite rare and should not be used as a replacement.

6 Venigni's Urgent Repair Tool

Venigni's Urgent Repair Tools are highly valuable compared to other consumables in Lies of P. It is unfortunate that they appear less frequently. However, players should prioritize equipping these tools on their lower belt whenever they are found, as they can be used as a replacement for the Grinder when necessary.

For instance, during the second part of the King of Puppets fight, players will encounter a situation where their weapon durability needs repairing. However, the enemy in question allows only a brief moment to catch their breath. In such cases, Venigni's Urgent Repair Tool can literally determine whether one survives or succumbs to death.

5 Gemini's Emergency Protection & Iron Protection

Lies of P draws inspiration from Bloodborne and other Soulslike games while also introducing innovative elements to the subgenre. One notable addition is the ability for players to replenish their healing items, known as Pulse Cells, by dealing sufficient damage. This creative feature adds a forgiving aspect to the game.

Moreover, unique items like Gemini's Emergency Protection and Gemini's Iron Protection offer temporary protection against losing Ergo when players die. Initially, it may seem absurd to expect players to utilize an item to prepare for their impending death during combat. However, encounters with formidable enemies in the latter half of the game or the common scenario of running out of Pulse Cells during a boss fight can leave players vulnerable. In such situations, activating either of these items allows players to retain their precious Ergo.

4 Legion Magazine

Initially, Pinocchio's Legion Arm may not appear to be valuable. When players first start playing Lies of P, they only have a basic 'punch' available with the Legion Arm. However, as players progress, unlock new Hotel Krat non-playable characters, and construct new Legion Arms, they will discover that the Legion Arm is extremely powerful if used correctly. The Aegis Arm can make certain bosses much easier to defeat compared to using Perfect Guards.

The final upgrade of the Puppet String allows players with slower weapons to effectively punish enemies in a Staggerable state. Additionally, the Fulminis is an excellent damage tool that players can easily utilize during the brief moments between enemy attacks. For players who prefer using their preferred Legion Arm, incorporating Legion Magazines on the bottom belt can significantly facilitate travel between Stargazers or make previously impossible boss battles much more manageable.

3 All Types Of Abrasives (Fire, Electric Blitz, & Acid)

Abrasives in Lies of P function similar to Elemental Greases in Elden Ring, serving as a temporary way for players to enhance their weapons with specific Elemental Damage. In the game, Elemental Damage holds significant importance, depending on the type of enemy Pinocchio is facing. Therefore, it is advantageous for players to have a few Abrasives of different elements readily available on their lower belt, ensuring preparedness for any situation. However, it is worth noting that the Abrasives' icon may resemble the Grinder's icon, but the color variations between each Abrasive and the Grinder should sufficiently prevent any confusion.

2 Attribute Purification & Special Purification Ampoules

As players progress through Krat and its surrounding area, they will encounter an increasing number of Environmental Hazards. These hazards, such as rivers of Corruption, lakes of Decay, Bear Traps, Disruption crystals, and crumbling floors, pose serious dangers and should not be underestimated.

However, players can greatly enhance their safety by carrying Attribute Purification Ampoules on their lower belt. With these items readily accessible, players can confidently navigate through areas contaminated by Corruption without the need to remove the harmful fluid. It is important to note that Attribute Purification Ampoules are effective against Shock, Decay, Corruption, and Overheat. On the other hand, Special Purification Ampoules are specifically designed to combat Shock, Break, and Disruption.

1 Wishtone Cube

The Wishtone Cube, also known as the Wishing Cube, is obtained by players after encountering an NPC named Giangio near the winged angel statue along the Path of Misery. This Cube serves as a usable item with the ability to grant various temporary effects, depending on the type of Wishstone inserted into it.

From providing continuous healing to summoning healing specters or granting elemental buffs to both the player and their specter, Wishstones offer a wide range of abilities. Although the process of recharging the Wishstone at Giangio through cultivating the Gold Coin Tree and returning to him may seem inconvenient and unnecessary, the Cube proves to be a helpful item overall. Players who choose to incorporate the Cube into their gameplay should equip it on their lower belt and consider investing in the Increase Cube Uses P-Organ upgrade and the Decrease Cube Activation Time P-Organ ability.

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