Surprise Soulslike hit Lies of P is getting new DLC and a sequel

Developer Neowiz confirmed that DLC and a sequel to Lies of P, a Soulsike game starring Pinocchio, are in the works around a month and a half after its successful launch.

This was all revealed in a new video hosted by Jiwon Choi, Lies of P’s Game Director. After confirming that the game sold 1 million copies since it launched on September 19, Choi says that Neowiz’s “highest priority” projects are DLC and a sequel to Lies of P.

“The dev team is putting in significant effort, brainstorming and exploring different aspects of the project,” Choi says. He then went on to confirm that the game’s soundtrack will get a standalone release and highlight some impending balance changes, the fact that Rising Dodge will become a default skill and more that will be part of a patch that comes out later this month.

When it comes to the Lies of P sequel, the video doesn’t feature any more detailed information on it. We can only assume it will follow up on the character featured in the game’s post-credit scene at this time. That said, Choi concludes the video by showing some concept art from the DLC that establishes a nautical theme. Choi says that this concept art “scratches merely the tip of an iceberg,” though, so there’s clearly a lot more for Neowiz to reveal about Lies of P’s DLC.

Lies of P is available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X. You can play it via Xbox Game Pass if you’re subscribed to that service.

The best Ergo farm locations in Lies of P

There are many mechanics that can make a game a soulslike, including stamina, tough enemies and bosses, and secrets, but almost all combine XP and currencies into one resource. In Lies of P, that resource is called Ergo, which you use to buy items, improve weapons, and, most importantly, level up. Ergo is earned either through beating enemies and bosses, selling items, or using consumable Ergo Fragments to get a quick boost. That said, you'll always be wanting for more. Whether it be a tough boss you just need a bit more attack to beat, or you found a weapon you want to upgrade, Ergo always seems to be in short supply. Thankfully there are a couple of great spots you can go to farm plenty of Ergo fast in Lies of P.
Best Ergo farming routes

Krat Central Station
The first farming spot is available very early in the game, making it great to help you get over any early areas or bosses giving you trouble. From Krat Central Station Plaza, you can quickly fight your way through the map straight to the Cerasani Alley stargazer, rest to respawn the enemy, and then run the route in reverse. The enemies are basic here, so it will take a few runs to get a meaningful amount of Ergo, but it is easy, safe, and worth it for the early game. Once you start needing a lot more Ergo, however, you'll want to use a later route.
St. Frangelico Cathedral bridge
For a more mid-game-appropriate Ergo farm, the bridge outside the St. Frangelico Cathedral is one of the easiest ways to scoop up Ergo. For one, this bridge is unusually dense with enemies. Normally that would make this a poor choice since getting swarmed will usually end with your death, but the variety of enemies means that they will aggro and fight amongst themselves. This allows you the option to slowly move through and pick off stragglers, or simply stand just out of range and let the enemies do all the work while the Ergo flows into your pockets. Again, the stargazer being so close means you can reset and loop this process very quickly.
Barren Swamp Entrance
Late-game Ergo farming gets much tougher since the only enemies that will drop a meaningful amount are going to be much tougher. However, the Barren Swamp does have a decently safe loop you can run that can give you that final boost of XP to finish off the game. This is a literal loop this time, beginning and ending at the Barren Swamp Entrance stargazer. As long as you've already cleared this area once and opened the shortcut, take the path backward through the destroyed wall to come behind the snipers rather than dodge their attacks going the normal way. If you're careful, you can make it a decent way through the loop without even alerting enemies at all. Once you make it back around, reset at the stargazer and run it again.

How to beat the Green Monster of the Swamp in Lies of P
The green monster of the swamp in a swamp.

People are drawn to challenging games like Lies of P for a variety of reasons. Some enjoy the atmosphere, the storytelling, the exploration, and more, but for many, it is the bosses that make or break the experience. Without a doubt, Lies of P delivers on providing the kinds of challenging bosses fans of other soulslike games are after, but some may push things a bit too far. By the time you've reached the Barren Swamp, the game fully expects you to have mastered all the mechanics, weapons, Legion Arms, and more. At this point, you will be faced with the Green Monster of the Swamp. This boss's patterns are incredibly hard to read, plus it can inflict you with Decay if you're not careful. If this creature from the swamp is giving you grief, here's how to best this foul beast in Lies of P.
Green Monster of the Swamp strategy

The Green Monster of the Swamp fight will have two phases, the first of which it will bear the normal name. To most easily counter this form, you will want a Legion Arm or weapon that can deal fire damage, which is its elemental weakness. For yourself, equip something like the Defense Parts that buff your resistances, as well as Attribute Resistant Ampoules and Purification Ampoules to counter any Decay.

All gestures in Lies of P and how to get them
Pinocchio with a blue electric arm.

Even though there's no multiplayer component in Lies of P, there are still plenty of ways you can express your version of Pinocchio. Most people will be interested in getting all the outfits, but there are also plenty of different gestures to unlock that let you perform different little actions around the world for some fun. Being a puppet, it kind of makes sense that you need to learn how to do these poses, but even so, you can't learn them all in a single playthrough. Many are tied to just going through the main story, but most are locked behind sidequests, letters, and how you answer certain questions. Here's the truth behind getting every gesture in Lies of P.
