Chapter II

Overview

Elysion Boulevard, an avenue full of boutiques and gleaming streetlights, was a prominent district where Krat's magnificent tram once crossed above.

Ironically enough, the wealthy citizens drawn to this trendy and modern area were the very reason why it quickly became one of the most ruined places in the city.

Find a way through the puppets that hinder the path forward and follow the dim lights of the dark alleys. The puppet hanging over the Alchemist Bridge may be a foe that needs to be hunted... or just a reflection of yourself.

New characters you encounter at the bridge will lead you on a path deeper into the world of Lies of P.

The early sketch of the Scrapped Watchman indicates that the concept of this boss was inspried by the gorilla judge from the original fairy tale The Adventures of Pinocchio. Also, his impressive joints are somewhat reminiscent of an insect that moves in a rapid yet balanced manner. But above all, the most interesting element of this terrifying watchman, Murphy (now a forgotten name),, was that he once was a kindhearted friend to the city's children.

Those who visit the boulevard are treated to rich emotional moments, with every aspect of the objects, environment, bosses, and characters portraying a world of chaotic beauty that transcends the limit of written words.

Talk to Sophia:

Sophia

You saved Geppetto! Wonderful!

He is on the second floor.

He can hardly wait to see you!

Talk to Antonia:

Antonia

That sounds very dangerous.

Geppetto usually isn't so reckless...

The pain of his grief may be clouding his judgment.

Oh dear, I shouldn't have said that.

You and Geppetto are always welcome at this hotel.

Geppetto's room is on the second floor.

You can stop by whenever you like.

Approaching Eugénie will prompt her to say:

Eugénie

Wow cool part you got there!

C'mere for a sec, would you?

Talk to Eugénie:

Eugénie

I picked up traces of high-powered energy, originating far away.

That's one mystery solved!

Why don't you make a Legion Arm with it?

Mister Venigni is the master when it comes to Legion Arms,

but I'm pretty sure I can make one.

The puppets get fried pretty easily by electricity.

If you use an electric Legion Arm, it'll make your life easier.

You will receive exchange Overcharged Storage Battery for the Legion Arm Fulminis.

Go upstairs to the now unlocked room to Talk to Geppetto:

Geppetto

You've returned!

Forgive a sentimental father for worrying about his son.

Always remember that you're precious to me.

Even when I ask you to do something dangerous.

Speaking of which...There's a factory just beyond Elysion Boulevard.

It's packed with countless puppets.

My friend, the inventor Venigni, went to stop them, but he never came back.

Please go save him and shut down the factory.

This will take Core and trigger the P-Organ tutorial.

Use the Geppetto's Tools chair to Activate P-Organ and utilize Quartz for upgrades.

Be careful who you tell about this place.

Especially if they're Stalkers or Alchemists.

Be wary of dangerous people and always be a good boy to me.

You will receive Krat City Hall Courtyard Key.

Upon Subsequent Talk:

Geppetto

The City of Krat...it's probably not how you remember it, eh?

Ask me any questions, and I'll fill in the gaps.

>About Venigni Works

Geppetto

Venigni Works is the puppets' main base.

It's a factory where they manufacture more of themselves.

Venigni himself went to stop them, but I'm worried.

He's an industrialist, not a fighter.

Rescue Venigni and shut down his factory.

That will deny the puppets their reinforcements.

>About St. Frangelico Cathedral

Geppetto

The cathedral is famous for its wise and kind archbishop, Andreus.

He offers sanctuary to countless refugees there.

The thing is, I've lost touch with them.

Perhaps "no news is good news", but I'm a suspicious sort...

And if the puppets push toward to the cathedral, it could be devastating.

Go save the archbishop and the refugees before it's too late.

>About Malum District

Geppetto

I don't know what's happening in the Malum District.

The Black Rabbit Brotherhood seized the neighborhood -- that's all I know.

It was always a run-down neighborhood, but it's descended into anarchy -- or worse.

I'm hearing rumors of monsters rampaging through the district.

Those poor people... they need your help, son.

>About Rosa Isabelle Street

Geppetto

Rosa Isabelle Street is a stronghold of the puppets.

It's a hunting ground where the most dangerous puppets roam.

I believe it's the epicenter of the Puppet Frenzy.

After all, I detected the strongest wave of Ergo there.

Especially for someone as precious as you, it's a perilous place.

And when you walk a dangerous path, my son, it's best to take it one step at a time.

Talk to Eugénie:

Eugénie

You're going to the factory to save Mister Vegnini, right?

He's the richest man in Krat.

A little eccentric, maybe, but a good person.

I heard he went to shut the factory down. I hope he's safe.

I wouldn't want to lose my best customer.

>About Venigni

Mister Vegnini is the richest man in Krat.

His company manufactures most of Krat's exports.

He's... peculiar, but a good-hearted man.

Even though he's rich, he treats every employee with respect.

I heard he went to shut the factory down. I hope he's safe.

I wouldn't want to lose my best customer.
