Lies of P Trophy Guide and Platinum Walkthrough

Always choose to lie when the game offers the option. Stay consistent for the whole run, this drives Humanity points, Rise of P and a very missable special weapon.

Follow a collectible guide with the missables flagged so you do not lose records, weapons or the NPC side stories.

Back up a save before the finale so you can reload for the other endings instead of replaying the whole game.

Reload your backed-up save to take the remaining endings. This is what turns a three-run platinum into two.

Start New Game Plus for what can only be done there, including the final records. Buy any normal weapons you missed from the shop at the start of NG+.

Clean up the remaining collection trophies and the platinum unlocks. The Overture DLC is a separate list, and needs NG+ for full completion.

Collect records when their quests and shops make them available, then return for the Pianist interaction before its story window closes. The final records still require New Game Plus, so keep the first-cycle checklist separate from the complete collection total.

Normal weapons missed in the first cycle can be bought near the beginning of New Game Plus. Special weapons are tied to Boss Ergo decisions. Never consume or trade an Ergo until its weapon has been secured.

Lie consistently on run one to protect Humanity, Rise of P, and the related choice rewards. Keep the finale backup until every ending supported by that save has registered on the profile.

Return to active NPCs after major bosses and exhaust their dialogue before advancing a chapter. Their trophies can become unavailable when the story moves past the quest location.

Treat the first playthrough as the save that protects every choice-dependent requirement. Lie whenever the game presents a choice, complete NPC conversations before advancing the story, and check each chapter against the missable list before moving into the next major area. Humanity affects the Rise of P route and several rewards, so changing direction halfway through a run can cost an ending, an item, and the special weapon tied to the same decision path.

Create the finale backup before making the last ending decisions. Finish one ending, allow the trophy to sync, restore the backup, and take the alternate branch supported by that save. This is the difference between a planned two-run platinum and an unnecessary third full playthrough. Keep the backup untouched until both reload-based ending trophies have registered on the profile.

Do not treat the 16 missables as one flat collectible list. Records and the Pianist trophy depend on interactions, normal and special weapons depend on purchases and Boss Ergo decisions, and NPC trophies depend on finishing quest steps before their story cutoff. Mark each group separately so a recovered normal weapon in New Game Plus is not confused with a permanently missed special weapon from the first cycle.

Never consume or exchange Boss Ergo until the associated special weapon has been secured. Normal weapons are more forgiving because missed shop stock can be bought near the beginning of New Game Plus. NPC questlines are less forgiving, so return to their locations after major bosses and exhaust dialogue before triggering the next chapter transition.

Awakened Puppet and Butterfly's Guidance reduce the combat pressure introduced by the original difficulty balance. They do not disable trophies, and the setting can be changed when a boss becomes a roadblock. Specters are also valid for trophy progression, so use them when repeating an encounter would add time without protecting a missable requirement.

New Game Plus should be a targeted completion run rather than another blind playthrough. Buy the missing normal weapons early, collect the final records, finish the remaining ending path, and keep the Overture requirements separate from the base platinum. Overture has its own list, its Gold Records require New Game Plus, and the two DLC Boss Ergos must remain available for their weapon requirement.

Before moving fully into Overture, confirm the three ending trophies, the complete weapon requirements, every first-cycle NPC story, and the final New Game Plus records. Keep the base-game save until the platinum has synced. Overture uses a separate list and one ending, so its progress does not repair a missing base trophy. Patch 1.09 places DLC access in Chapter 5 during New Game Plus, and the Gold Records still require that cycle.

The base game and Overture share a save but not a trophy list. Mark base records, weapons, endings, and NPC stories complete before using the DLC list as the next objective. This prevents a Gold Record or DLC weapon step from being mistaken for the missing requirement that is still blocking the base platinum.
