100% Achievementsguide | Lies of P

This is an achievementsguide that focuses more on the endings and the missables. Since this game is heavy on the missables, and also can get a little confusing on what to do, I decided to make a Guide on this. I hope it helps!

Summary
Difficulty: 8/10 (The achievements are not grindy or anything complex. The game itself is very challenging and NG+ is even more brutal)
Duration: About 30+ hrs (Depends heavily on your skills - can also take up to 60 hrs)
Missibles: Too many.
Playthrough: You will need at least 2 playthroughs
NG+: Yes

Intro
In order to get every achievement in the game, you HAVE to finish the game twice. That means first playthrough and then the NG+ playthrough. The good news is that you'll most likely get almost all achievements on your first playthrough except for 3. And the last 3 are "easy" to get. The 2 bad news are: A ton of achievements are missable and the game is also very challenging. In NG+ the game is even heavier in regards to it's difficulty regardless of your gear and level.

Thanks to @amitaicuphead for the question: What if you cant backup and reload your save because your not playing on PC?
In that case you will have to complete the game 3 times, instead of 2. You would first go the "Lie"-Run choosing "Refuse" to Gepetto at the very end while also following the guide (except you are only getting the "Rise of P" ending).
In the second run you would want to follow the same procedure as explained in the guide (truth-run, get the remaining achievements, choose "Refuse" at the end and also not giving Sophia Peace).
And the 3rd Playthrough is where you actually give Gepetto your heart in order to get the 3rd ending "Real Boy" and also to avoid fighting the Nameless Puppet at NG++.

Playthrough 1
If you follow these rules you will be fine:
  • Always lie! For the ending and for a special Weapon we always (mostly) want to lie! If you messed up and told the truth once, I think (not sure) you will still be fine, but keep lieing for the most part. On my first playthrough I didnt lie in these situations: Told Alidoro the truth about Hotel Krat; Told Simon he was creating Monsters; Told Simon what I did to Sophia;
  • Try to search every nook and cranny for Items and collectibles. The good thing here is that the game is very linear with simple or small sideways. I managed to find most to all items just on my first playthrough. The game also tells you in your Stargaze if you have additional Sidequests or if there is somehting important to get on different Locaitons like records and/or events.
  • Whenever you find a Stargaze, try to check the Teleporting section if there is something happening with the other locations. Do the NPC's want to talk in the Hotel? Is there a sidequest somewhere or an event? Everytime you defeat a boss, try to talk to everyone in the hotel, and get every possible dialogue option just to be on the safe side.
  • Whenever defeating one of the main bosses, you receive the bosses Ergos. Its a unique Item that can be traded later on in the game with Alidoro The Hound (The one with the German Shepard mask). You can choose either to get a special weapon or an amulet. If you want to get the "Special Weapon Collector" achievement on your first playthrough, you might want to save the Ergos and trade them only for weapns. But since you can get them in your second playthrough as well, it is not a must. Just a recommendation.
    Important and also Spoilers regarding Alidor: If you chose to kill him he will be replaced by Hugo the Explorer if you have talked to him near the Barren Swamp Bridge Stargazer.

Another thing to note is that you should get 2 endings in your first run, by simply backing your save before the decision and just reload it. It's also important to note that you dont want to start a NG+ run right after the credits, cause there are still some stuff left in the hotel, after the credits were shown.

Playthrough 2
Ideally you will have 3 achievements left which are "The Story of a Stranger Girl", "Golden Melody", "Free from the puppet string". That means that you can basically ignore most of the game. The only thing to note is that you are honest throughout the whole game. Dont tell any lies (Except for the "Im not a robot" captcha at the hotel door).

Important thing to note: This game is heavy on NG+.

Playthrough 1: Unmissble achievements


Fatal Blow
Deliver a successful Fatal Attack
Attack an enemy from behind or attack the enemy when he is staggered. You will see 3 red clawmarks, press attack and you will perform a fatal blow. You will get this very early on in the game by attacking an enemy from behind.


Stargazer’s Guide
Repair a Stargazer
Interact with any Stargazer (Lies of P Bonfires). You will get this very early on in the game.


First Lie
Tell a lie in front of Hotel Krat Entrance
Infront of the Hoteldoor, you will have to lie no matter what playthrough you are on. It will have no influence on the endings.


Exploring Possibilities
Try to assemble a weapon
Once you are in the Hotel: Go to Eugénie and talk to her. She will be able to upgrade and assemble weapons for you. Simply connect a blade with a handle and you get the achievement.


The Ultimate Defense Technique
Destroy an enemy’s weapon with a perfect guard
In order to destroy the enemy's weapon, you will have to parry the attack, by blocking at the perfect timing. You can do this with every enemy. The amount of parries you will need to destroy the weapon varies from enemy to enemy. The easiest are the puppets with the big sword. You'll get this eventually.


Gold
Bear Coin Fruit
Harvest Gold Coin Fruit
After defeating the Eldest of the Black Rabbit, head to the rabbit hide out and activate the elevator. This will get you back to the hotel. A little further there will be Giango waiting for you and through the left door the gold coin tree will be ready for you to harvest. You need a few gold coins for other achievements, so make sure to harvest.
Note: You can meet Giango in the St. Frangelico Cathedral. Its not a must though. He will come to the hotel regardless. He is a merchant who sells Star Fragments (allows you to call Specter; an AI helper for bossbattles) and wishstones which strenghtens the Specter.


From Across the Rift
Kill all types of Dimensional Butterflies
In certain areas butterflies will spawn in different colors: Blue, Red, Purple, Gold. Killing one will give you an item. For this achievement you have to kill one of every color. You will meet multiple throughout the game.
Make sure to turn on Geminies lantern all the time. It makes it easier to see if a butterfly will spawn. The surrounding will turn red and a bell will ring. I found a red, purple and a golden one in the barren swamp, where the canon on a tower keeps shooting at you and 2 big Puppet of the Future wander around. Dont worry if you fail to kill a butterfly. Just interact with a Stargazer to make them respawn or try to find them somewhere else. In the last Chapter/Area there will be even more.


Legion Arm Collector
Collect all Legion Arms
After defeating the King’s Flame and rescuing Venigni, he will give you the ability to change your Legion Arrm. They should all be available at the start but you still need to unlock them. For this you will need Legion Plugs which are obtainable items in the game. Legion Arms do carry over to the NG+, so dont worry if you dont get them all in the first run.

Strongest Legion Arm
Modify a Legion Arm to its max level
You can upgrade your Legion Arm with a machine next to Venigni. In order to upgrade your arm, you will need Legion Calibers, and in order to get it to max, you'll need at least 6.


Strongest Normal Weapon
Strengthen a normal weapon to its max level
Normal weapons are the ones you can assemble. You can upgrade those by talking to Eugénie. You need Ergo and Materials for this.


Strongest Special Weapon
Strengthen a special weapon to its max level
Special weapons are the ones you trade for Boss Ergos (+ Golden Lie). They can also be upgraded by Eugénie, but they need different materials.


Extreme Potential
Activate P-Organ to Phase 5
After saving Gepetto, his office on the second floor of the Hotel will be available. Next to Gepetto's desk is a gold shimmering Chair. Interact with it and you can Upgrade your P-Organ with Quartz. Quartz can be obtained by boss / elitefights and also in the chests throughout the game. Also the broken puppet next to the Stargazer at Barren Swamps gives you Quartz as a reward for finishing his side quest.

You start with Phase 1 and once you have activated a certain amount of slots ( I think 2), the next phase will be available. Your Phases will carry over to the NG+, so you'll get the Phase-5 eventually.

Collect all normal weapons

There are 29 normal weapons in the game. Most of them are not missable except for 3. The starting weapons can only be bought from the wandering merchant in Cerasani Alley, right before the bossfight with the Parade Master. He wont be available much later in the game, make sure to buy those in order to be on the safe side. If you fail to buy those, don't worry, as your weapons will carry over and you can just buy it on your NG+ run from the very same wandering merchant.

The street which was on fire and where you fought the Clown-puppet.

PT1: Special Weapon Collector


Missable
Collect all special weapons

First of all, you need to find Alidoro the Hound. He is in St. Frangelico Cathedral Library. There is an elevator a little bit further the path opposite of a golden globus - the elevator will bring you directly to him. After riding the elevator to the top floor, Alidoro will ask for a safe space. Tell him about Hotel Krat. ( I didnt lie on this one and was fine)



If, for some reason, you did not find him, he will appear on your path a little further, after you have beaten the Boss of the area.

This can be missable in your first playthrough, if you choose not to trade any Boss Ergos for weapons. Also, the Golden Lie Special Weapon can only be obtained after:
  • Getting the Portrait of P / Portrait of a Boy: Its located in the Black Rabbit Brotherhood hideout. Talk to Gepetto to place the portrait on the wall. Depending on how many lies you have told, you'll notice that your nose grows out of the portrait.
  • Telling enough lies: You dont have to lie every single time, though there must be a certain number of lies told to unlock this weapon.
  • Since at the current time there are not enough information to confirm this I will just write what I did:
    • I lied everytime except for: Telling Alidoro about Hotel Krat; Chose "Monster" in the Gallery talking to SImon; After defeating Simon I told him that I gave Sophia Peace.
    • I did give Sophia Peace
    • I listened to at least 5 or 6 records at different times.
    • I finished all side quests and favors.
    • I did get the "Your heart is beating"
    • Picked it up BEFORE talking to Gepetto at the very end
    • And, just for testing purposes, I also was able to pick it after the credits, before starting a NG*
Additionally for the "Veteran Explorer" achievement you will need the Frozen Feast Special weapon.

Important. ALSO SPOILER: In the Barren Swamps Bridge, before the Boss battle with the Puppet-Devouring Green Monster, you can meet up with Hugo the Explorer infront of a closed gate at the right side of the bridge. Talk to him and try to get every single dialogue option as usual.

A while later after defeating the rest of the Rabbit Brotherhood beneath the Hotel, you will meet Alidoro again. The usual thing: Get every possible Dialogue option and then choose to kill him. You will get a cyper which will be important for another achievement. The important thing is that Hugo will replace Alidoro as the Special Weapons merchant after killing Alidoro. Hugo will move into the hotel and be at the very same spot Alidoro was before.

Instead going up the stairs following the bossroute, go to the room with a bunch of hanging puppets, go to the next room and drop down the stairs to find the Stalker.
Fear
Before fighting the Workshop boss (King’s Flame), talk to Venigni at Venigni Works Control Room. You can also do this after you have beaten the boss, but once Vengini is in the hotel, you wont get the gesture. He moves to the hotel once you have teleported anywhere.
Swagger
After defeating the Kings Flame, go back to the hotel and talk to Venigni in the Hotel. Try to get every single Dialogue option out of him. This is important as this can be easily missable.
Pray
You will need to find Cecile in the St. Frangelico Cathedral Library. Talk to her and accept her Sidequest. After that, get the Archbishop Holy Mark, stored in a safe in the Archbishop's office, (which is in the room right before you throw down the second firepit/blazer to clean up the ground from the black pool) and return to her afterwards before fighting the boss.
After defeating the boss of the area (Fallen Archbishop Andreus) return to the St. Frangelico Cathedral Library, where Cecile was, and find the note she left on the floor. Read it and done

Talk to him, accept his request and find his puppet wife later on in the game (She is located close to the bridge above Rosa Isabelle Street where everything is on fire). Return to him and make sure to lie.
Respect
After defeating the Champion Victor, Simon will give you a key. Go back from where you came, go down the stairs at your right side, back to the open green house, where you fought the elite enemy that dropped from the top. Find a big green door and open it to get the gesture + you will be able to respec your skills and stats. The room will be available from the start on NG+ once opened.
Beg
After defeating the Champion Victor, a bit further through the story, you will meet the Red Fox and his brother infrot of a train. They ask for a Golden Fruit and once you gave them one, you will get the Gesture. Note: If you dont give them a Fruit/Coin, you will have to fight both of them later on, so this makes life a bit easier.
Greet
Highly Missable: This is part of the "The Story of the Refined Old Lady". After defeating Champion Victor (Chapter 7) talk to Polendina to start the "The Story of the Refined Old Lady" story. Then go to Giangio and give him a golden fruit to receive the cure. Then talk to Polendina and tell him to "use the cure". Now beat the Green Swamp Monster and go straight to Antonia and talk to her. After the interaction with her you should now have the "Greet" gesture.

After fighting the Corrupted Parade Master, talk to Antonia in Gepetto's office.

Entreat
After defeating Laxasia The Complete, go through the bridge to the next area. Inside you will see. Choose "Giving her Peace".

Mechanical Cryptic Vessel
Arche Abbey Broken Rift: After taking the ladder to the top floor where you will see a firepit and an eliteenemy with tentacles. Past him and find the chest on the second right path (not the path which leads to the lever)
Go to the Abandoned Apartment Stargazer, get out, cross the sign that functions like a bridge. Dont go through the gate, instead walk through the small path to your left. Keep going left where 4 Zombie dogs are camping. Go up the balcony stairs and equip the Frozen Feast (a Special Weapon). Talk to the merchant and obtain your reward.

PT1: End of Riddles


Missable if you fail to answer correctly
Discover all Trinity Sanctums

Important: This achievement goes together with the "The Story of the Prince" achievement.

The Riddler will call you through telephone cells over the course of the game. Pick up the call and answer the riddles correctly. After every correct answer, you receive a key, which opens the trinity doors. After answering the fifth question, you will be rewarded with a speial key. The Chosen One’s Trinity Key. The key will open the final trinity door in the Arche Abbey Outer Wall, where you will meet Arlecchino and obtain the achievement. You will need to get every door and every riddle for the achievement to unlock.

Phone locations and riddles:
  1. Starting early on in the game from the Krat City Hall Courtyard Stargazer you will push through the game until you are close to the workshop and right before a bridge with a bunch of bomb throwing puppets. Instead of crossing the bridge, go right and get the first call. The answer: Human





  2. Malum District: This one is not really missable, since you have to past this point in order to proceed. In the district is an open field and enemies are throwing decay bombs from rooftops. Go through the field, take a left turn (dont take the metal ladder), go up the wooden ladder inside a house through the alley and find the phone above. The Answer: Candle




  3. Grand Exhibition Gallery: Cant really miss that. After meeting Belle (the blond-haired women - the ladder outside of the gallery and under the electrobomb-throwing robots on steel beams) and fighting several saw-blade roboter, you'll see and hear the phone ringing. The Answer: Egg




  4. Krat Central Station Street: The phone should be where the riverstreet is. From the Stargazer go down the stairs and a little bit further when you see the river, go left. The Answer: Ergo





  5. The last one is in the Sealed Underground beneath the Hotel Krat. After battling the first Elite Enemy you will find yourself in a split path.Answer Yes





As a reward you will get The Chosen One’s Trinity Key which will open the last door in the Arche Abbey Outer Wall.


Trinity Door locations:
  1. The first one is in the Workshop Union Culvert. The very first time you meet the Red Fox and the Black Cat, instead of following the bossroute up the stairs to your right, go inside the red pipe. Follow the pipe to the end and go right into the room where 3 enemies are waiting. Kill those and walk through the stone passage as shown in the picture. Follow the path to find the first Trinity Door.




  2. The next one is in the St Frangelico Cathedral Chapel. After some annoying climbing you will find yourself trying to avoid a giant electric ball. Next to the Ball falling down is a ladder. Climb the ladder up and keep follwing the path for the next Trinity Door.




  3. This one is easy to miss but also easy to find. Before going to the Bossarea, you will see a giant lighted chandelier swinging above a hole. Drop down the hole to find the next Trinity Door.




  4. The forth one is in the altered version of the Krat Central Station Lobby Stargazer. Very hard to miss.




  5. The final trinity door is at the very bottom of a tower in Arche Abbey Outer Wall. From the Stargazer, once you have dropped down inside a vertical tower, you will encounter an eliteenemy jumping at you and where you will have to ride an elevator to the top to proceed to next area. Instead open the last trinity door and meet Arlecchino.



    He will ask you a final question. I answered Human. After that, get every possible dialogue option out of him. if you did not get the "Moon World Warrior Toy", get to Wandering Merchant at Lorenzini Arcade close to the big fountain and the bathroom. Near him is the book “Scandal! V, the Tragedy Behind the Flamboyance”. Read that and try talking to Arlecchino again. Also, you might want to talk to Venigni as well, since its part of his story.

PT1: Golden Melody: Part 1


MIssable
Collect and play all records

This is only part 1. Part 2 with the remaining records are further down. The reason is that 6 records are only available in NG+.

Thanks @Kalhoun for the information: You dont need to have every record on one single file. As long as you have listened to every record (even through multiple saves), the achievement should unlock.
  1. Feel
    From the "Inside the House on Elysion Boulevard" Stargazer a bit further on is a large area with 2 ladders going down and a Police Officer Puppet marching around. Before going down, head to the window, where the lights are on and a silhouette of a woman is shown. Talk to her and accept the Sidequest.



    Proceed with your journey, past the bridge with the hanging robot, past the next stargazer and the swordmen puppets and find yourself in a garden before the next boss fight area where a big eliteenemy is punching on a buch of dead bodies. You will find Broken Baby Puppet there. The Item will only appear if you have talked to the women first. Return the baby to the Women and choose the lieing option "It's a cute baby". She will reward you with the record.




  2. Divine Service
    You will get this one from Sister Cecile in the St. Frangelico Cathedral Library very close to the Stargazer. FInd her and talk to her to accept her request.



    After collecting the Archbishop's Holy Mark in the Archbishop's office, head back to Cecile and talk to her again before fighting the boss.



    Now keep playing until you have defeated the boss of the Area (Fallen Archbishop Andreus). Return to Cecile to pick up and read the letter that she left on the floor.


  3. Someday
    Purchasable from the Wandering Merchant in the Red Lobsters Inn in Malum District. When inside, dont go upstairs, instead try to find a ladder hidden behind shelfs. Get up, find the merchant and gift him any Ergo fragment. After that you are able to see his wares and also the "Someday"-Record for 3,800 Ergos.




  4. Fascination
    Before entering the big white Opera House right infront of the "Estella Opera House Entrance" Stargazer, make sure to buy a Red Apple from Polendina in Hotel Krat. You will need this for Adelina in the Opera House.
    Find Adelina upstairs - take the stais to your right and after that go up the stairs with the bloodstains. Past the Spiderlady and turn left on the balcony to find Adelina. Talk to her and give her the apple.




    Defeat the Boss in this area and return to Adelina. She will leave the record on the floor.


  5. Quixotic
    After defeating Champion Victor in the Grand Exhibition Conference Room, proceed a little further until you meet the Red Fox and the Black Cat. Give them some Gold coins and you will receive the record.


  6. Why
    For this record, you need to have met and talked to Belle in the Grand Exhibition Gallery. After defeating Champion Victor she will move in the hotel. Belle is on the 3rd floor after taking the ladder outside of the gallery where a purple butterfly spawn. Go up the roof and drop down the steel beams, on which electrothrowing-puppets and that shieldenemy are. It is very important that you talk to Belle the moment you see her and not after the fight with the boss, as she will die if you don't.



    Proceed with the story to the point where Belle will tell you about a lost friend (I think after the Barren Swamp Chapter). Accept her quest and make your way to the "altered" Krat Central Station which is on your storypath anyways. Find him in a train under a stairway and talk to him. He will give you an Item which you will have to return to Belle. Lie to her and tell her that he died fighting. She will give you the record.




  7. Misty E’rA
    This record is in the Hermit's Cave. Its part of the "Veteran Explorer" achievement, where you have to find and decipher the Rusty Cryptic Vessel. The Hermit's Cave itself is close to the Barren Swamp Bridge Stargazer, right behind the gate where you first met Hugo the explorer. Make your way through the cave till the very end and kill the Eliteenemy to obtain the record.




  8. Far East Princess
    After defeating the remaining Rabbit Brotherhood Relic on the Trismegistus Combat Field and also killing Alidoro, you will receive Alidoro's cypher. Return to the Hotel, let Venigni decypher it and read at once. Now talk to Eugénie and choose to lie: “I think he was just a talented Stalker”.


  9. Memory of Beach
    In order to get this you will need to first get a cure for Antonia and give it to Polendina while also telling him to cure her. This is also part of the "The Story of the Refined Old Lady" achievement.

    After defeating Laxasia The Complete, head back to the hotel and talk to Polendina. He will tell you that Antonia has passed away. Go upstairs to Gepetto's Office and find the record on Antonia's chair.


  10. Shadow Flower
    After you have defeated Laxasia The Complete you will meet Sophia on a chair. Choose "Give her Peace" and find the record on the same chair after she vanished.

    Please note that there are still 6 left. The rest is only available in NG+. Further down in the "Playthrough 2" section is small guide on how to get the remaining records.
"Story of..." achievements in your 1st run


The Story of the Refined Old Lady
Find out about the last story of Antonia

This achievement starts with the receptionist of the Hotel, Polendina, telling you about the condition of Antonia. This happens after you have unlocked the Gold Coin Tree. Make sure to always check the Stargazer in case Polendina wants to talk to you and also try to get every dialogue option. Once that happened:
  • Go to Giangio close to the golden tree coin and ask for the cure for Antonia.
  • Head back to Polendina and tell him to cure Antonio.
  • After that, talk to Antonia.
  • Note:
    There is a missable Gesture "Greet" during this achievement. The conditions for the Greet Gesture: Get the cure, Tell Polendina to cure Antonio, Kill the Green Swamp Boss and then talk to Antonia to get the gesture.
  • Now keep playing the game normally until you have defeated Laxasia The Complete.
  • Head back to the Hotel and talk to Polendina. Get every possible dialogue option and then go upstaris to Gepetto's office where Antionia was. You will see an empty chair and some items on it. Get those (and read it in case) and you should have the achievement.

Achievements that you should have unlocked after following the guide:


Real boy : They all lived happily ever after
[Real boy: They all lived happily ever after] Reach the ending
Only available after giving Gepetto your heart after the battle with Simon.

Pianist of Krat

This is the ending for you LIE-walkthtough. Also important to note that you have to become more "human", with listening to Records, lieing, doing sidequests and giving Sophia peace. You can also use the "Pray" gesture infront of the angel statue with one wing. Teleport to the St. Frangelico Cathedral Chapel stargazer, turn around, go across the bridge and open the door to the statue.
Once "Your heart starts beating" you are on the right track.

Special Weapon Collector
Collect all special weapons
Explained at bit further up in the guide.
Playthrough 2


The only thing to remember here is:
  • Make sure to always tell the truth.
  • Make sure to buy the records, especially the first one from the Wandering Merchant in Cerasani Alley, since he will not be available later in the game. [More on my guide]
  • Make sure to do the Eugénie side quest and tell her the truth as well by killing Alidoro, deciphing the crypt and reading it before talking to her.
  • Find and talk to Subject 826 in the Arche Abbey Outer Wall and also open the stone gate. Find him, after defeating Laxasia The Complete, on the bridge above the Rosa Isabelle Street. [More on my guide]
  • Dont give Sophia Peace after defeating Laxasia The Complete and entering her room.
  • Refuse to give Gepetto your heart.


The Story of a Stranger Girl
Find out about the last story of Eugénie

This one is quite straight foward. After Alidoro has entered the hotel, and after you have defeated Victor the Champ, Eugénie will ask you to give Alidoro a four-fingered glove. At the same time, Alidoro has wandered to the Barren Swamp, the area you are headed next.
Once you have met him on your way (he is basically unmissable - you will see him) give him the gloves and get every dialogue option out of him. Return to Eugénie and tell her the truth (because this is the truth-walkthrough) and proceed with the game.

After you have defeated the remaining Rabbit Brotherhood (your second encounter, after the Hotel invasion), you will meet Alidoro again. As usual, get every single dialogue option before killing him. He will drop a Crypic Vessel.

Make sure to FIRST ask Venigni to decipher the Vessel and THEN READ IT before talking to Eugénie in order to reveal the truth. Next, talk to Eugénie, choose the "He was Eugénie’s older brother". Re-enter the hotel, by first teleporting somewhere else and then port back to the hotel, to talk to Eugénie again. She will give you a record and the achievement should pop.


Free from the puppet string
[Free from the puppet string] Reach the ending

This is the remaining ending. The only things you have to remember are:
  • Dont tell any lies (Except for the Hotel door one)
  • Dont give Sophia peace
  • Dont give Gepetto your heart.

After you have battled and defeated the even heavier version of the nameless puppet, you will notice a change in the dialogue. Before that the cutscene is the same as in "Rise of P", so dont freak out like I did. You will notice the difference, once... Gepetto is dying in your arms and says: "I... knew it... You're just a useless... Puppet" The achievement should pop then.


Golden Melody
Collect and play all records

This is Part 2, which only contains the remaining 6 records that you can only get in your second playthroug.
Part 1 and the other records that you should get on your first playthrough are further up.

Thanks @Kalhoun for the information: You dont need to have every record on one single file. As long as you have listened to every record (even through multiple saves), the achievement should unlock.

  1. Proposal, Flower, Wolf Part 1 (Golden)
    Cerasani Allery Stargazer: Wandering Merchant for 6,000 Ergo



  2. Quixotic (Golden)
    Inside the House on Elysion Boulevard Stargazer: Wandering Merchant for 10,000

    Ergos

  3. Shadow Flower (Golden)
    Lorenzini Arcade: Wandering Merchant for 10,000 Ergo



  4. Memory of Beach (Golden)
    Abandoned Apartment Stargazer: Wandering Merchant for 10,000 Ergos



  5. Proposal, Flower, Wolf Part 1
    Reward for finishing "The Story of a Stranger Girl" achievement.

  6. Fascination (Golden)
    You get this one from Subject 826, who is located at the Arche Abbey Outer Wall. A bit further from the Stargaze is a vertical place where you'll have to go down to the bottom of the room. You will see the last trinity door and a muscle-packed dude trying to fight you. From where this monster jumped out is a corridor with 2 traps and a elevator, which will bring you to Subject 826. Talk to him and make sure to open the gate. If you miss opening the door, he will not go anywhere for some reason.



    After defeating Laxasia the Complete, Subject 826 will move to the bridge above Rosa Isabelle Street. To get there the fastest, teleport to Estella Opera House Entrance, go back downstairs where you fought the Clown mini-boss. Go down the path and you will see a bridge, on which Subject 826 should be waiting for you. Talk to him and buy the last record.

Last thing to do is to play the records. All of them. However, you dont really have to play every single one to the end. Just click through the records, and make sure to wait for the "Save"-Icon at the top-right corner.

Finish


You should now have every achievement. I hope the guide helped. Not everything here is set in stone, though. There are still some things that I'm not 100% sure about. If you have noticed any content errors, feel free to comment. Thanks.

Free from the puppet string does require to always tell the truh you just need to not let free sophia and do not give your heart.
if your humanity is very low you can free sophia and still get Free from the puppet string ending.

Alright thanks, I have updated the "Gesture" and the "The Story of the Refined Lady" sections. Sorry about missing the achievement.
ควย 19 Jul @ 4:40am 
It's a missable that should have more details instead of "just talk to Antonia" because a mistake on my part was rushing through NG+ and forgetting to talk to NPCs.

As per other FAQS - "The gesture is obtained by by speaking to Antonia after defeating the Green Monster Of The Swamp in Barren Swamp Nest. The gesture will only be rewarded if the player had Polendina administer the cure to her" -> Under your The Story of the Refined Old Lady section, it's important to mention that there's a gesture later on that's missable if you don't talk to her again after the swamp boss.

Basically - talk to her and play the piano for her and get the gesture - MAKE SURE. Very important to mention that doing this sidequest give 2 rewards and it's missable.

@ุЧе за хуйня
Hey thanks for the feedback. Can you tell me exactly which one you mean? I havent played the game for a year so a little bit more explanation would be nice. Was the part you mentioned not detailed enough, was there something missing or wasnt it clear that the part you mentioned was missable?
ควย 18 Jul @ 12:05pm 
Your guide is great for the most part but you should update the guide about the gesture for Antonia part, that's the only part I followed without much instructions then realized there's a whole set of things that's missable, and I missed it.
With the "Exploring Possibilities" achievement, you can do assembling. Mainly switching blades and handles (I found that out by accident). But the serious stuff, you really need to talk to her).

I’ve read that you can actually hard lock yourself from being able to give Gepetto your heart. This would happen if you have too low humanity. Not sure where the break point is but I guess if you tell all truth and don’t even do the riddles, this could happen.

Several other forum posts mention this.
Furudo 15 Jan @ 1:20am 
Just a warning I had no idea about Sister Cecile until I was about at the Swamp area. When I went to look for her, she had become a monster and I couldn't do her quest. So it seems you can lose her questline just like Belle if you beat the boss before talking to her.

FYI for the Lie playthrough:

Don't follow the IGN guide. It has at least three mistakes on it.

I was still able to get the Golden Lie but a lot of people got screwed over by every gaming site copying the article and there are several comments saying it is wrong. The most accurate one is the FextraLife wiki.

https://liesofp.wiki.fextralife.com/Lie+System

Bringing it up to help with an otherwise great guide.

For "Free from the puppet string" - I lied a few times and I gave Sophia peace, but I still got the achievement. It's my first time completing the game blind, not using any guides. So there must be some other criteria for lying that triggers this ending as opposed to "Rise of P".
