13 Best Weapons In Lies of P

It is a good idea to carry around multiple weapon options. Each deals a different type of damage and uses different stats for scaling. There is even the option of respec-ing your whole character build around a new weapon. But, what works in one fight might not be suitable for every encounter.

13 Fire Axe Handle

Cut Through Enemies With A Balanced Weapon

The Fire Axe is a very balanced weapon. The head itself does a fair amount of damage for a one-handed option. But what you should look forward to is using the handle with other blades. The weapon is initially found in a chest in the Workshop Union Culvert. Part of the tunnels will burst open due to explosives, and the axe can be found within.

The handle has C scaling with both Motivity and Technique, making it a great option for many blades. Consider combining it with other similar heads like the Military Shovel Blade, Cursed Knight’s Halberd Blade, or Puppet’s Saber Blade. The handle also grants the Endure Fable Art, which can prevent suffering damage and being staggered for a short window.

12 Black Steel Cutter Blade And Handle

Advance Defensively Through Enemy Encounters

The Black Steel Cutter is a great weapon to keep together, especially if you are using an Advance build in Lies of P. This Greatsword can be found from a chest in the Hermit's Cave area, when you defeat a Carcass enemy near the Stargazer. In the wooden structure behind the creature, you can find both parts of the weapon, which you can keep as a single item or break apart into two pieces for customization.

The Fable Arts for the Black Steel Cutter are Storm Slash and Guard Parry. Storm Slash unleashes an attack that slashes an enemy in front of you multiple times, while Guard Parry gives you a new defensive maneuver. With Guard Parry, you can deflect an enemy's attack with the right timing, giving you the ability to counter enemy strikes and retaliate to gain the upper hand.

Good weapons for Advance builds are rare toward the beginning of the game, so this tool can be perfect for those focusing on this stat. Advance powers up your Legion Arms and elemental attacks, allowing you to use more consumable items effectively. Since this weapon doesn't do great damage on its own, diving into those parts of the game can help you become a more consistent threat to your enemies.

11 Seven Coil Spring Sword

Spend Ergo Early To Get This Weapon

Ergo is by far the most important resource in Lies of P, and it’s difficult, especially early on, not to spend all your ergo on levels. Relatively few players know that you can also trade Ergo with Alidoro in exchange for powerful weapons. Alidoro is an NPC that you meet in chapter four, first in the St. Frangelico Cathedral Library, and then later again at either the hotel or Venigni Works.

The Seven Coil Sword is by far the best early-game greatsword that you can run across in Lies of P. Its pure physical attack damage can quickly chunk down massive enemy health bars, even at lower levels. The greatsword has two key features that make it even more valuable.

First, it has a substantial damage reduction rate whenever guarding, more so than your average weapon. Second, the Seven Coil Sword also deals additional damage whenever you manage to parry an enemy. If you plan to be a heavy weapon user, then it’s best to save your ergo from the Parade Master to get this weapon.

10 Salamander Dagger Blade

Add Permanent Fire Damage To Your Arsenal

The Salamander Dagger is one of the most reliable means of adding fire damage to your arsenal. The full weapon is found in the Workshop Union Entrance. There will be a large hole that at first looks dangerous. Bravely, leap down and deal with the Blank Puppets inside. You can then pick up the dagger as a reward.

The full weapon is good on its own but becomes even better when paired with other elemental or Advance-scaling handles. Consider the Acidic Crystal Spear Handle for more reach, the Acidic Great Curved Great Sword Handle for pure power, or the Circular Electric Chainsaw Handle for better guarding.

9 Noblesse Oblige

Endure Damage And Strike Back Hard

One of the heaviest weapons in the game is Noblesse Oblige, a giant club you can get by trading in the Fallen One's rare Ergo to Alidoro. This special weapon only has one part, but it comes with two Fable Arts called Ergo Release and Endure. These abilities transform what would normally be a tricky weapon designed for Motivity builds to a solid choice for nearly any playthrough.

Noblesse Oblige has some of the highest single-hit damage possible in the game with Ergo Release, which consumes an amount of Ergo to bolster your damage. The more Ergo you spend, the higher the damage of the weapon when you hit something. With Endure, you can also withstand enemy attacks, reducing damage enough for you to perform Ergo Release and decimate any who stand in your way.

Obviously, the problem with this weapon comes from its greedy Ergo consumption. You need to farm Ergo a lot to use this weapon, so it is not for everyone. However, those that do build around this special tool can tear through boss health bars quickly to make challenging fights seem trivial.

8 Golden Lie

Reach For A Special Weapon At The End Of The Game

The Golden Lie is among the best weapons in the whole game. Unfortunately, it is also one of the last weapons you can earn in Lies of P. You must also plan ahead and lie at every possible instance. Choosing the truth option even once will make the weapon inaccessible. You must also give the Portrait of the Boy to Geppetto before challenging the last boss.

If done correctly, the Golden Lie will grow out of painting after the credits roll, but before choosing to enter New Game Plus mode. You can begin to use this weapon on another playthrough, as you perhaps try to go through the story while only telling the truth.

The Golden Lie itself is a relatively fast blunt mace. It scales well with Motivity and Technique, making it a good replacement for Fire Axe users. But its real gem is both of its Fable Arts: Storm Attack and Furious Golden Hits. Storm attack has Pinocchio strike with three quick hits. Furious Golden Hits attacks and defends at the same time, making you nearly invincible to most counters.

7 Etiquette

Fetch An Early Dagger

Etiquette is another weapon that you can get by providing specific Ergo to the merchant Alidoro. To acquire this useful weapon in Lies of P, you need to save and sell the Broken Hero’s Ergo to Alidoro after you meet the merchant in Chapter Four. You can acquire the Broken Hero’s Ergo by defeating the Scrapped Watchman.

This boss is located in the Courtyard of Kray City Hall and acts as one of the first actual bosses in Lies of P, making Etiquette a very attainable early-game weapon and an immediate upgrade from your starting equipment. If you favor a lighter, Technique-focused build, then Etiquette is perfectly suited for you.

The Etiquette, fashioned like an umbrella, is a fast weapon that manages to maintain relatively high physical attack damage. The Fable Art is a useful piercing lung attack that can help players maintain a range advantage, despite being a dagger-type weapon. In terms of scaling, it lacks severely in Motivity, but is incredibly high in Technique for specific builds centered around that stat.

6 Two Dragons Sword

Greatly Increase Your Dodge Chance

The Two Dragons Sword is one of the unique weapons made from rare boss Ergo. In this case, you must first defeat the Puppet Devouring Green Monster in the Barren Swamp. Bring the Ergo to Alidoro in Saint Frangelico Cathedral Library. After making any initial weapon, they will then move to Hotel Kart for the remainder of the game.

As a unique weapon, the Two Dragons Sword cannot be dissembled and must be wielded whole. It has two great Fable Arts: Link Emergence Dodge, which makes Pinocchio dodge effortlessly; and Wind of Swords, which deals area of effect damage in a short cone.

5 Holy Sword of the Ark

Cut Your Opponent's Health In Half

The Holy Sword of the Ark is another unique weapon. This time you must defeat The King’s Flame, Fucoco at Venigni Works Control Room. Give the Ergo to Alidoro and he will forge the new weapon. While the Holy Sword of the Ark starts as a greatsword, one of its Fable Arts reduces its size.

Normally, the weapon’s main Fable Art is Patient Smash, which deals a single devastating attack. But, the second art called Alter shrinks the handle and reduces the weapon's overall stamina consumption. Additionally, during Alter’s duration, Patient Smash also transforms into a multi-hit attack that can strike up to five times in quick succession.

4 Uroboro’s Eye

Adopt A Unique Playstyle For The Endgame

The Uroboro’s Eye is a special weapon in Lies of P that you can wield after you give the Sad Zealot’s Ergo to Alidoro. The Sad Zealot’s Ergo is dropped from the boss Laxasia. This boss comes near the tail end of the game after the optional Black Rabbit Brotherhood boss fights but before the final two bosses: the Awakened God and Nameless Puppet.

Given that this special weapon comes in so late, the Uroboro’s Eye is an end-game weapon that is well worth the wait. Once you have defeated the two-phase boss Laxasia, you can return to the Hotel to meet with Alidoro and exchange the boss’s ergo to obtain this visually distinctive weapon.

As you may be able to tell by the weapon’s unorthodox design, the Uroboro’s Eye encourages a very unique playstyle. Although labeled as a sword, it certainly is not comparable to any other sword in Lies of P. The weapon’s physical attack rivals that of a greatsword, while boasting two Fable Arts: Wandering Moon and Storm Novice, which both provide sweeping, AoE type attacks.

The Uroboro’s Eye also has one of the best range advantages out of any weapon in the game. You’ll need to find some weapon to sustain yourself for most of the game, but this is one of the better endgame weapon options that you can find in Lies of P.

3 Proof Of Humanity

Land Critical Hits Often

True balance is not normal on most Lies of P weapons, but the Proof of Humanity manages to create a perfectly even split between Motivity and Technique. This makes it adjustable for the two major build types of the game. However, this weapon is something you can only really use on New Game+, as it is received for trading the Nameless Puppet's rare Ergo with Alidoro.

Proof of Humanity has the Fable Arts Link Slash and Grind. Link Slash performs a basic, but effective slashing attack that you can perform again and again by spending up to three additional Fable slots. Grind increases your Critical Hit Chance, boosting the opportunity to deal high damage to targets with bulkier health, especially some of the tougher bosses you encounter.

2 Electric Coil Stick Head and Handle

Combine Both Pieces For A Reliable Tool

The Electric Coil Stick is one of the best stand-alone weapons. While other options are great for mixing and matching, this one is at its best when using both the head and handle in their default state. The full Electric Coil Stick is purchased for 1,200 Ergo from the Wandering Merchant in the House on Elysian Boulevard.

The weapon is great for its B rank in Advance scaling. Though its base damage is physical, it can be amped up with Electric damage with the Fable Art Generate. Its handle-based Fable Art is Rush Smash, which causes you to jump and strike downward quickly. Like the Salamander Dagger, if you do choose to reassemble the parts, always pair them with other Advance-based weapons.

1 Puppet Ripper

Devastate Enemies With Proper Technique

The Puppet Ripper might be the most destructive fully Technique-based weapon in Lies of P. Like all other special weapons, you must first defeat a certain boss and bring its Ergo to Alidoro. In this case, the target is the Puppet King of the Estella Opera House. This is around halfway through the game, allowing you to use it for quite a while.

The Puppet Ripper is a fearsome scythe-like weapon. It is both strong and relatively fast, allowing a devastating barrage of blows. Even better both of its Fable Arts: Quick Upward Slash, which hits in an upward arc; and Storm Spinning Slash, which attacks in a spinning motion. This makes the weapon not only good for large bosses, but also for taking on groups of smaller foes.

With enough Technique upgraded as your adventure continues, this weapon provides not only great damage but also fantastic range on all your attacks. This versatile nature easily makes The Puppet Ripper one of the best weapons in Lie of P to use, even if its special status prevents you from combining it with another Blade or Handle.
