Lies Of P gives a variety of weapons and build styles to keep coming back for playthroughs. One of the most fun builds is the Advance build. While you can read here about What is Advance In Lies Of P, the summary for now is it is a skill that specializes in building up status effects on enemies like Fire, Shock and Acid.
The game also does a great job at customizability : you can switch the blade and the handle to get what works for you best – taking a heavier handle for big, high damage swings – or taking a dagger handle for quick stabs; and combining it with a fire-based blade for doing fire damage, or a pipe wrench to stagger enemies.
Lets go through hands-down the 5 best advance weapons in Lies Of P
5. Salamander Dagger
| Type : Blade | Weight : 7.9 | Attack : Stab | Advance Scaling : B |
Fable Arts:
Blade : Ignite – Greatly Increases Fire ATK temporarily
Handle : Retreating Stab – Stab an enemy in front of you and quickly move backward.
Location: This can be obtained in the Workshop Union Entrance area. At the stargazer, you will see a locked door. This can be reached by climbing up the stairs, entering the room to your left, dropping down through the trapdoor and opening the safe. Be careful of the two puppet enemies in this room.
While you will probably not use this weapon for too long as there are better substitutes and fire-based weapons available later on, this one can be a useful early-game weapon with a fire effect option. It has limited range, but quick stabs help building up fire effect on enemies. The blade alone can be combined with a longer handle to give better reach. Low weight means that you can slot it along with another weapon and not tip over to heavy load.
4. Circular Electric Chainsaw
| Type : Blunt | Weight : 18.6 | Type : Slash | Advance Scaling : A |
Fable Arts:
Blade : Condensing Slash -Slash enemies in front of you. The number of slashes varies depending on the charged amount.
Handle : Endure – Allows you to temporarily withstand the enemy’s attack
Location :
from the merchant found near the ‘Lorenzini Arcade’ stargazer for 3200 ergo. The merchant is located in a room with music playing and a fountain nearby.
One of the few advance weapons to hit a A scaling, the only drawback to the weapon is that it is heavy for the damage that it does. Especially in Lies Of P, with no ‘poise’ that is associated with heavy damage (where you can tank through an enemy attack to land your attack), this is a problem. You can make that up by combining the blade, which is the main selling point of this weapon, with a lighter handle to land your attacks quicker and build up shock status for the enemy. Also, to say the obvious, the weapon looks incredibly cool and is as direct a reference as it can be to the Bloodborne pizza cutter
3. Electric Coil Stick
| Type : Blunt | Weight : 11.7 | Attack : Slash | Advance Scaling : B |
Fable Arts:
Blade : Generate – Greatly increases Electric Blitz ATK temporarily.
Handle : Rush Smash – Jump and powerfully strike downward at the enemy.
Location :
Purchase from the merchant next to the ‘Inside The House On Elysion Boulevard’ stargazer for 1200 Ergo
The first advance scaling weapon that you can get your hands on and one that can carry you till a substantial chunk of the game, the weapon works well against early puppet type bosses and enemies. The fable art significantly amps up electric damage and builds up stagger. This becomes potent especially when combined with P-organ upgrades like increased charge attacks, increase stagger of attacks and higher fatal attack damage.
2. Acidic Crystal Spear
| Type : Dagger | Weight : 9.0 | Attack : Stab | Advance Scaling : A |
Fable Arts:
Blade : Raditate – Greatly Increases Acid ATK temporarily
Handle : Single Stab – Gather your strength for a big forward piercing attack
Location :
Take the right fork from the path starting from ‘Path of the Pilgrim’ stargazer to a chest containing this weapon.
One of the best advance weapons in Lies Of P ,and the best weapon to inflict acid damage – has quick stab attacks, the handle is long enough to have good range, and has an A scaling with Advance. The handle fable arts has great reach and the blade fable arts help build up status effect rapidly.
1. Black Steel Cutter
| Type : Greatsword | Weight : 13.5 | Attack : Slash | Arcane Scaling : A |
Fable Arts:
Blade : Storm Slash – Slash an enemy in front of you multiple times
Handle : Guard Parry – Time the enemy’s attack correctly to deflect it and trigger a powerful attack.
Location :
Start from the ‘Hermit’s Cave’ stargazer, go down the ladder, defeat the Carcass Enemy and look for a chest from the room where the enemy came.
Hands down the best advance weapon in Lies Of P, this can easily carry you through the game. It has great range, the best fable arts on both the blade and handle, and is nicely placed on the weight front – not too heavy and slow, but doing good damage with each hit as well.
