All Endings Guide for Lies of P
Three (3) unlockable endings in the game.
Lies of P has three (3) possible endings that you can unlock after beating the game’s main story. The ending you get is based on the Lying System choices you make during key events and other important actions towards the story’s late-game areas.
Note that the story ending route you take will lock you out of viewing any of the other two climax scenes as it is not possible to get multiple endings in one playthrough (without using cloud save exploits).

| Ending | Key Story Actions | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Real Boy: They All Lived Happily Ever After | Give your Heart to Geppetto at Under the Abyss after defeating Simon Manus, Arm of God and Awakened God. |

|
|

What is the Best Ending for Your First Playthrough?
Rise of P Ending (“Pure Lies”)
For your first playthrough of Lies P, it is recommended to go for the Rise of P ending (“Pure Lies” run) as this route lets you unlock the most features (trophies and weapons) out of all possible routes in the game.
Note that the Special Weapon Collector achievement (silver trophy) can only be obtained in this ending as you are able to meet both conditions for getting the Golden Lie and Proof of Humanity special weapons.
Lies of P How to Get the Best Ending
Worst Ending – Real Boy: They All Lived Happily Ever After (“Give Geppetto Your Heart”)
Despite its name, the Real Boy: They All Lived Happily Ever After is actually the worst ending in the game and is generally not recommended for your first playthrough. This is due to the route preventing you from getting several trophies as well as the Golden Lie and Proof of Humanity weapons.
The Real Boy ending is also the only story path where you do not encounter the “true” final boss which is quite unsatisfying story-wise.
You can get Rise of P and Real Boy endings through cloud save exploiting.
It is possible to get both the Rise of P and Real Boy ending in one playthrough via exploiting cloud saves (allowing you to get 100% completion in just two playthroughs instead of three). Otherwise, it is generally better to go for the Rise of P ending on your first playthrough and the Real Boy and Free from the Puppet Strings story route on NG+ and subsequent playthroughs.
Lies System Dialogue Responses
Below are all Lie System dialogue responses to for the “Pure Lies” (Rise of P route) and “Pure Truths” (Free from the Puppet String route). The Real Boy: They All Lived Happily Ever After route, meanwhile, does not require you to tell only lies or only truths as you simply need to give Geppetto your Heart to unlock the ending (regardless of your answers to all Lie System conversations).

I did none of the conditions for the Puppet String ending, yet that’s what I got, I did all the conditions (accidentally, it was my first playthrough) for the Rise of P ending but I did not get it.
When you say only lie for the Rise of P ending does it have to be 100% lies? Can I accidentally tell the truth once and lie every other time? If not screw this game having a timer on choices.
Great guide. So all lying playthrough is the best lol
