The dark and atmospheric world of Lies of P is filled with intricate secrets that reward curious players who explore every corner of Krat. Among these mysteries is a peculiar portrait found during your journey that seems to change dynamically based on your gameplay choices. Unraveling the secrets behind this painting reveals unique narrative elements and grants access to a powerful hidden weapon.
Finding the Portrait of a Boy
To begin this questline, you must first navigate through the Malum District and defeat the Black Rabbit Brotherhood. After the battle, explore their hideout to discover a portrait depicting a young boy with a noticeably long shadow. Returning this artwork to Geppetto in Hotel Krat places it safely on the office wall, setting the stage for further developments.
As you progress through the main story, you must actively tell lies during key dialogue encounters to accumulate humanity points. Each time you behave more like a human rather than a rigid puppet, the nose of the boy in the painting will physically grow longer. Observing this strange transformation serves as a direct visual indicator of your character's growing emotional depth.
Reaching Maximum Humanity and the Solution
The ultimate culmination of this mystery requires you to reach the final stages of the game with an exceptionally high level of humanity. After defeating Simon Manus and making crucial choices regarding your heart, return to the portrait in Geppetto's office one final time. If you have successfully lied enough throughout your journey, the nose on the canvas will be fully elongated and glowing with a brilliant light.
Interacting with the fully transformed artwork triggers a unique animation where your character detaches the glowing appendage from the frame. This action completes the puzzle and officially rewards you with the Golden Lie, a highly specialized special weapon. Managing your dialogue choices carefully ensures you do not miss this missable opportunity before the credits roll.
Utilizing the Golden Lie Special Weapon
The Golden Lie stands out as one of the most distinctive weapons available due to its unique scaling and dynamic properties. It features a versatile moveset that combines swift blunt attacks with impressive reach, making it excellent for controlling groups of aggressive carcasses. Experimenting with its fable arts allows players to maintain pressure on staggering bosses during intense endgame encounters.
Furthermore, upgrading this weapon requires rare materials found only by conquering major threats throughout the city. Utilizing its unique traits effectively can dramatically change your tactical approach during subsequent New Game Plus runs. This rewarding combat tool stands as a testament to your puppet's intricate journey toward becoming truly human.
