Lies of P takes the best of all Soulslike games and then adds more of its own unique flair to create an experience many Souls fans will love. However, there are many fresh new mechanics in the game for which you are going to need these Lies of P beginner tips. From Ergo to the deep weapon customization, there is something you can learn here that you might not have known before.

So, let’s take a look at the top 10 most useful Lies of P beginner tips that you can use to get better at the game from the get-go and start slaying those brutally difficult bosses with ease.

Top 10 Lies of P Beginner Tips that you need to know

It is no secret that Lies of P is heavily inspired by the Soulsborne games from FromSoftware. However, despite this fact, it is not a direct copy as it features its own unique mechanics that set it apart from the games it’s inspired by. If you are a long-time fan of the genre, you will be well-versed and already used to the brutal difficulty. But there are things that might slow you down as well, so make sure you read up on all of the tips below.

Dont stress on the starting Combat Style

When you start the game, the very first thing the game will make you do is pick between three different combat styles; Path of the Cricket (Balance), Path of the Bastard (Dexterity), and Path of the Sweeper (Strength). While this may seem like you are picking a class that will define your character’s playstyle for the playthrough, it is not really all that. The truth is this only decides your starting weapon and a slight buff to a few skills. You can buy the other weapons from the other classes from the first vendor you find in the game. So, it does not matter much which one you pick for the start.

Sharpen your weapon

One of the unique new mechanics in the game is the weapon sharpening mechanic. It is one of the absolute essential Lies of P beginner tips to constantly make sure that your weapon is sharpened. The best time to do this is between combat scenarios but in case of a boss fight, you need to make sure you find a gap where you can distance yourself and sharpen your weapon as much as you can. If your weapon is not sharpened you won’t be able to chain together attacks at all. So, this mechanic is absolutely crucial.

Keep an eye on your Ergo

Similar to picking up Souls in the Dark Souls series, Lies of P features Ergo that you get from killing enemies and yes you guessed it, you lose all of it when you die. However, there are certain cues the game gives you to help you understand when you should stop risking your collected Ergo. You see Ergo is used to level up your stats like Vitality, Motivity, Vigor, etc. So, when you have collected enough Ergo to be able to level up a stat, the Ergo icon on the top right turns blue. Not only that but when you die with a lot of Ergo, you can always see the amount of lost Ergo on the top right as well which helps you decide if you want to risk trying to get it back.

Use perfect blocks against Fury attacks

As you start fighting tougher enemies, you will notice that they will do fury attacks. This is when they turn red and do an aggressive attack that does a lot of damage. The game tells you that these are attacks that cannot be blocked but this isn’t entirely true. You can actually block these attacks but only if you manage to pull off a perfect block. This requires perfect timing but once you get the timings down, this can be extremely useful in your survival, especially in boss fights.

Explore and talk to NPCs

It is one of the more self-explanatory Lies of P beginner tips that you should always explore as much as you can. And more importantly, you should take your time to talk and interact with the various NPCs you might find. These NPCs can sometimes give you important information, items, and even side quests. Whenever you complete an area and you know of an NPC in that area, make sure to return to them and interact with them again as they may now have more dialogue or even have an item to give you.

Regain health by being aggressive

Lies of P encourages the player to be more aggressive rather than defensive. This is clear because being aggressive will actually help you survive longer, of course, this is only considering you don’t end up getting hit even more. But if you manage to be aggressive and land hits on your enemy after it has hit you, you will regain some of the health you lost from your health bar. Not only that but when you run out of your Pulse Cells (Healing Flask), you will enter a Pulse discharge state that will let you regenerate a new Pulse Cell by dealing enough damage.

Armor influences NPC reaction

When it comes to your stats and skills, your armor is nothing but cosmetic and does not provide you with any sort of buff or debuff for that matter. However, there is one thing that can have an effect based on what Armor or costume you are wearing which is the reaction of certain NPCs. There are points in the game where you will come across an NPC that might treat you differently if you were in a different attire altogether so keep that in mind.

Weapon handles are Important

One of the more important Lies of P beginner tips to understand is that weapons are separated in this game by their blades and their handles. All of the stats that your weapon scales with are based on the handle of the weapon while the blade gives you certain properties on the weapon like fire damage or its potential reach. Many areas in the game will favor having a particular type of blade because the enemies there might be weaker to certain types of damage. But, you should always have the handle that scales well with your stats, and also remember that your attack patterns are determined by the handle. So, make sure you choose one that has your preferred attack pattern.

Read item descriptions

This is a no-brainer but many players gloss over the item descriptions and never discover the true nature and power of a given item. Many items in the game will give you a clearer picture of its use or abilities. Consumables especially should always be checked so that you know exactly what they can do and where you can use them. Quest items will also have descriptions that can tell you more about them.

Always lie or always say the truth

Lastly, the final one of the Lies of P beginner tips is to either always lie or always say the truth. This is crucial for beginners as you can mess this up early in the game not knowing what it actually means. This decision has to do with the ending of the game, always lying will give you a different ending compared to always saying the truth. Both of them have special unique endings while mixing and matching between lies and truth will give you a normal ending.

Those were all of the top 10 Lies of P beginner tips. If you would like to learn more about everything related to Lies of P, make sure to check out our full section of Lies of P guides and other articles here.
