The Ultimate P-Organ Upgrade Guide: Unveiling the Truth Behind the Lies
Explore the extensive world of P-Organ Upgrades in Lies of P, with 7 distinct Phases to conquer Uncover powerful abilities across Attack, Survival, Ability, and Item types, some exclusively available in NG+ and beyond Get ready for an upgrade like no other!
The P-Organ system in Lies of P is unique and captivating. It introduces an intriguing concept that elevates the value of each Quartz unit players contribute to it. Enhancing Pinocchio in a noticeable way, not only do players unlock significant new abilities upon filling all slots in an Upgrade, but each filled slot also grants an additional ability that enhances Pinocchio in some manner.
In the base game, the P-Organ consists of 5 distinct 'Phases' that act as Tiers. As players progressively fill and fully unlock more Upgrades, additional Phases become accessible to them. Moreover, with the unlocking of each new Phase, players can equip a new tier of abilities into the corresponding Upgrades. Let's now explore all the extraordinary Upgrades and abilities that players can experiment with in Lies of P.
This guide does not provide information on Tier 6 and 7 Abilities, but it does include details about Phase 6 and Phase 7 Upgrades. We will update this guide with descriptions of Tier 6 and 7 abilities once we reach NG++.

All Abilities That Slot Into P-Organ Upgrade Slots
Quartz consumption in the P-Organ menu is utilized to allocate abilities into vacant slots within the preferred Upgrade. Once all these slots have been occupied by Quartz-based abilities, the Upgrade becomes fully activated and operational.
At maximum, each P-Organ Upgrade can accommodate one ability of each 'type' (Attack, Survival, Ability, Item).
However, it is important for players to carefully consider their choices as some of these abilities are equally or even more advantageous than the complete Upgrades.
Attack-Type Abilities

First up are the Attack-type abilities, which predominantly enhance the sheer strength of an entity or augment the extent of stagger damage that can be imposed by a particular weapon or tool wielded by Pinocchio.

For instance, investing Quartz into this category of abilities allows players to earn more Ergo for each enemy defeated.
