Lies of P contains 11 Special Weapons Locations. Collecting all Special Weapons unlocks the Special Weapon Collector trophy & achievement. Special Weapons are far better than Normal Weapons and some can scale up to an S rank for certain attributes with the right Handle Altering Materials.
All 11 Special Weapons are missable: 10 become missable if you consume the Bosses’ Ergos or use them to buy Amulets at either Alidoro’s or Explorer Hugo’s shops. As such, do NOT ever consume them. 1 Special Weapon is missable if you’re on your Truth playthrough and therefore can only be acquired in your Lie playthrough.
Before being able to obtain Special Weapons, you must find Alidoro. He can be found near the St. Frangelico Cathedral Library stargazer. When you reach the room with an elevator at one of its sides, ride it up to the rooftop and speak with Alidoro. He will ask you to send him to a safe place. If you’re on your Lie playthrough, send him to Venigni Works, if you’re on your Truth playthrough, send him to Hotel Krat. Regardless of where you send him first, he will eventually move to Hotel Krat where he opens his Special Weapons shop. All Special Weapons but one are bought by turning in the Ergo dropped by the game’s main bosses. Do NOT ever consume these Ergos or the Special Weapons will become missable. Later on, the game will give you the opportunity to kill Alidoro. You must do so to obtain a Cryptic Vessel. His shop will temporarily be unavailable but Explorer Hugo will reopen it later on at Hotel Krat.
Below is a list of all Special Weapons and how to obtain them in chronological order.
- Seven-Coil Spring Sword: can be bought from Alidoro or Explorer Hugo immediately after finding him for the Parade Leader’s Ergo dropped by Parade Master main boss.
- Etiquette: can be bought from Alidoroor Explorer Hugo immediately after finding him for the Broken Hero’s Ergo dropped by Scrapped Watchman main boss.
- Holy Sword of the Ark: can be bought from Alidoro or Explorer Hugo immediately after finding him for the King’s Flame Ergo dropped by King’s Flame, Fuoco main boss.
- Trident of the Covenant: can be bought from Alidoro or Explorer Hugo at Hotel Krat for the Twisted Angel’s Ergo dropped by Fallen Archbishop Andreus main boss.
- Puppet Ripper: can be bought from Alidoro or Explorer Hugo at Hotel Krat for the Burnt-White King’s Ergo dropped by King of Puppets main boss.

How to obtain the last 2 Special Weapons
The last two Special Weapons require you to take specific steps in order to obtain them within the same playthrough and unlock 
Special Weapon Collector. Here’s what you need to do:
- After defeating the boss “Simon Manus Awakened God“, ride the elevator down to the underground and interact with the Under the Abyss stargazer and make a back-up save (in PlayStation Cloud if you are on PlayStation, or if you are on PC copy your save to a different folder).
- Choose “Give the Heart” when Geppetto asks for it to unlock the Real Boy ending.
- After the end credits, do NOT start NG+. When back at Hotel Krat, head into Geppetto’s Study, pick up the letter from the desk and read it. This will unlock
The Story of One Father. Unlock Pianist of Krat as well by interacting with the piano on the ground floor. - Reload your save and head back to Hotel Krat. You should notice that the nose on the Portrait in Geppetto’s Study is quite long, but may not be able to be interacted with. If you cannot, play through all available Records without stopping to obtain Humanity, then interact with the Portrait to obtain the Golden Lie Special Weapon. The nose on the painting will only grow and turn into a weapon if you’ve been gaining Humanity throughout the game.
- Go back to Under the Abyss, but this time choose “Refuse” and fight the Nameless Puppet to unlock The First Puppet. This will unlock either the “Rise of P” ending depending on your Humanity level and choices throughout the game.
- After the end credits, do NOT start NG+. Back at Hotel Krat, buy the last Special Weapon from Explorer Hugo that you can exchange with the Nameless Puppet’s Ergo. This will unlock Special Weapon Collector.
These are all the Special Weapons in Lies of P. For all other Collectibles refer to Lies of P Collectible Guide.
There is some leeway with the Golden Lie weapon, I told a few truths and was still able to get it.
Good, thanks for reporting.
Do you know any other humanity points to get the lie sword? I got the Rise of P ending, everything mentioned here, but it still isn’t usable.
There are no other way to restore Humanity in the game.
@ FranciRoosters
That is objectively false. You can also do things like specific emotes, such as pray in front of a statue, and get humanity. I just had hopes you might save me the hassle of trying to figure them out.
I’m confused. What is false exactly? That you can only get Humanity from listening to Records? If so, it’s not wrong. It’s true. You’ve just offered a second way to restore Humanity. ?
Hello, I followed the guide to the letter, the golden stick comes out fine but impossible to recover it. I have to play each song in full?
Yes
Wanted to ask…if I didn’t know about these bosses ergos and exchanged the Puppet Master’s one but will get the others. Will it be enough to only get the first boss’s in my NG+? Will the other transfer? Can I only keep the Puppet Master in my second playthrough and sell the others I got in my first playthrough? Or do I have to get all those special weapons in on playthrough?
Yes, you can do that.
Hi,
I have followed the guide, one mistake being that I think I told the truth to Simon (chose monsters instead of a way for the cure), after finishing the game and listening to all the records I still cannot pull the weapon from the portrait, so it might be that there is some points system and lie/truth after bosses award more? I don’t think there is a way for me to get it now (apart from new play trough ;/ )
The weapon cannot be obtained in a Truth run as far as I’m aware.
Im in lie in the end if u remember I asked u i say truth to bella I believe the npc and didn’t have “ way” record and now I can’t pull the golden lie i listen all records too so because of this lil mistake can’t get the wep ?
Golden Lie is confirmed to spawn only in a Lie playthrough.
Just an FYI about Golden Lie. I told mostly lies (maybe 1 or 2 truths), gave Sophia peace, went back to the hotel and listened to her song, and then it was available. I didn’t even have to progress beyond Laxasia. Just make sure your “Heart is Pounding” and listen to Sophia’s song. I also made sure that any time the jukebox was flashing throughout the playthrough I listened to the song it wanted me to play.
The golden lie part is false, its obtainable before this point.
Just get the “Your heart is pounding” text 3 times, and the weapon becomes glowing and obtainable. I unlocked this before facing Simon, but told some truths early on in game, so it’s probably obtainable before this. I also missed a few records and was still obtainable after meeting true Sophia.
It’s not false. It’s as true as what you’ve found out to unlock it.
I’ve accidentally purchased special amulets instead of weapons (1or2) can I still achieve the trophy by getting the missed eeapons in NG+?
