Lies of P List of Truth and Lies

Lying is one of the fundamental aspects of Lies of P. Being honest or deceitful impacts how the story evolves as you progress into the game. There are multiple instances where you will be given a choice to tell the Truth or Lie. This guide will show you where and when you will be making a tough decision.

What are the Effects of Telling a Truth or a Lie?

The Truth or Lie choices impact a lot of aspects of the game. It has the most bearing on the outcome of the story. However, other rewards exist for engaging in this interaction with appropriate responses. Here are the consequences of your choices in Lies of P:

• Multiple Endings: One of the most profound impacts of your truth and lie decisions is their influence on the game’s endings. “Lies of P” offers three distinct conclusions, each with its narrative path. While one ending is readily available by default, the other two are unlocked through your predominant choices of honesty or deception, coupled with critical decisions in the game’s climax. 

Notably, achieving a “lies only” or “truths only” playthrough is unnecessary for attaining the ‘Rise of P’ or ‘Free from a Puppet String’ endings. The objective is to lean predominantly towards either lies or truths. However, a consistent approach is advised to ensure your desired outcome. Your responses in these decisive moments trigger notifications reflecting P’s evolving perception, impacting his springs, gears, ergo, and warmth.

• The Golden Lie Secret Weapon: Among the rewards in “Lies of P” is the enigmatic “Golden Lie” secret weapon. This unique item can be acquired from the mysterious “Portrait of a Boy.” An exciting transformation occurs once you display this remarkable artifact within Hotel Krat. 

A branch laden with leaves begins to sprout and grow. However, obtaining this distinctive weapon follows specific criteria. To unlock it, you must opt to lie consistently throughout your playthrough. Furthermore, playing all the records you’ve gathered along the way is essential. This exceptional weapon becomes accessible during a post-campaign stage, distinct from the New Game Plus mode.

• Record Rewards: Your choices regarding truth and lies also impact the records you uncover in the game. Certain characters in “Lies of P” engage you in dialogues where your responses shape the course of the narrative. You’ll be rewarded with particular records based on your chosen path of honesty or deceit. These records provide valuable insights into the game’s lore, character backgrounds, and the intricate world you navigate.
