I don't know if anyone's noticed and it's not as important but at the start of the game when P gets smacked or thrown he doesn't make a sound. Makes sense. But later in game when he starts to become more human he makes grunts and groaning noises when he gets hit. It's subtle and a nice touch.

If you gain even more humanity, the cat will eventually let you pick it up and hug it.

This game is so close to a FROM production it's scary and amazing at the same time.

The guy who sends you to the trap has alternative dialogue if you didntnfall for the trap, saying something along the lines of "Why didnt he fall for the trap? When people arent gullible, my pockets arent full!" Before leaving. Also, Venigni gives you an item later in the game that decodes puppet language. If you carry it into NG+, all the puppet subtitles are now clear, and one of them gets voice acting added to their boss fight.

Fun fact: You can emote at Sophia and she will emote back at you for some of them just like in Bloodborne.

Easily the best souls like I’ve ever played. Such an incredible first attempt im so excited to see what they do next. Im getting skill checked by the bosses in this game HARD

The names that the Scrapped Guardian (or "Murphy") are Zach, Sophie, Eric, and the fourth is Toma, who you can speak to at a window and then use the Whistle you got from defeating Murphy to talk to him again.

Actually the hidden item from the dead body hanging on the bridge where you fight the donkey guy can be locked on to, so its pretty easy to hit it with a throwable item this way :3

"although you're probably dying a lot in the process" 🤣 Honestly, this game has been a fantastic experience, game really justifies its own existence amongst from soft's best games

Good game! This is a love letter to FromSoft, not a rip off. Some people online just enjoy being negative. Hardest thing for me is remembering to block instead of instinctively trying to dodge everything lol

6:18 new game plus, with the "Ergo decipher" that gives you Venigni at your first playthrough, you can actually read the lines of bosses now

Has anyone else noticed the unusable stargazer at the entrance of the Path of the Pilgrim. I think it may be the entrance to a dlc if they are planning on doing one, as you can investigate it and it says it cant be used right now. And plus the lore on the grave nearby hints that it is Carlo's grave. So maybe the dlc will go into the past and explore when Carlo and Romeo were kids and maybe have the stalker character that is shown in the flashbacks on the beach before the Arche Abbey. Idk just speculation on my part.

It's safe to say that after such an incredible Demo, this is what Peak gaming is for me. Developers listening to ppl. No microtransactions, incredible optimization and a banger story. 70€ well spent.

They just released a dev note. It actually seems like they're listening to players which is rare in todays industry. They're even working on a Lies of P roadmap despite the game having been out for less than a week. Insanity.

So there’s an Easter Egg that NO ONE seems to have noticed that I HAVE TO SHARE. So here it is: If you hadn’t noticed when you lie it doesn’t affect your nose like the traditional story. But after Chapter 5 boss you find a painting of you and bring it back to the Hotel Krat. As you progress through the story and continue to lie, individuals in the hotel tell you to check the painting, because it’s changing. Upon visiting the painting you notice your portraits nose is growing the more you lie. BUT THIS ISN’T THE EASTER EGG. Upon discovering the change in the painting, if you go talk Geppetto, he says he “had the Painting commissioned by an Artist D. Gray, and that he believed a painting could capture ones soul” THIS is a direct reference to the 1890s book ‘The Picture of Dorian Gray’. A story about a man named Dorian Gray who’s likeness is perfectly captured in a full length portrait painting. So much so that it embodied his soul. And as Dorian grew older, he never aged, but the painting did instead. And without spoiling the book, much how his age affected the painting, Pinocchio’s lying affected his painting. Also eluding that Pinocchio always had a soul. Anyways, I LOVED that reference because I actually felt that was such an underrated well written book. Go read it! It’s a treat!

For the scrapped watchmen dialogue the last name is he says is "toma" and toma is the the little child in elysion boulivard that you speak to him from a window. He talks to you about murphy the policeman who is his friend. Zio you need to read this!!

Did you know the survivor fight (the guy with the mouse mask) will have different dialogue if you wear the blueblood tailcoat, he will call you Leo and goes mad attacking you, apologizing he was scared to die if you win the fight. My first playthrough he says hears the springs inside us and attacks us wanting to kill puppets in his madness. I think some npc fights have different dialogue for what you wear, i wonder if anyone knows of any other dialogue difference in whats equiped with clothing. Giving more context to story.

The hanging body on The alchemist bridge can be locked onto so it's not difficult to hit with a throwable or arranged attack

If you go the path of lies not only you can see the nose grow on the portrait but as it’s does, your own shadow in the main room of the hotel (where the stargazer is) shows the grown nose.

You can't just pet Spring. Once he warms up more, P can lift him up and jsut jiggle jim, looks funny as heck, but when you get even closer, he lifts him up and cuddles him

This game is awesome, especially being a Bloodborne/Dark Souls/Elden Ring fan. They really put a lot of thought into the characters and story, as well as the gameplay.❤

Yessssss been waiting for lore videos on this game

When I got the cryptic vessl for the slum's chest, I actually walked through the shack as close to the right wall as I could out of suspicion and...it worked ! I fell through the floor on my way out of the schack though xD

My game of the year by a lot. It is shocking how much From Software energy is in this game. It’s so common for developers to try and copy a formula without understanding what makes it good, but the guys at Neowiz did their homework and hot damn do I love this game

I don't know how i didn't think to use the free fable charges like that. I spend quite a bit in the training room and it never occurred to me to do that... Wow thanks man

I am amazed that you used as background music the theme of Phendrana Drifts. Cool vid ❤

I needed that quartz badly. Thanks buddy, subscribed.

A couple of gestures I like are bowing to Sophia using "Respect", she will bow back to you the same way she does when she is leveling you up, and if you clap in front of Venigni, he has some additional dialogue.

I cannot fathom how good this game really is. The only problem I had with it is simon manus being tanky. All of the bosses are unique and amazing with bosses like the king of puppets the true final boss champion victor and laxasia being amongst my favorites. Thw weapon system is awesome and if upgrading was not so punishing it would be as good as bloodborne's. Finally the story is compeling and the atmosphere is top tier with plot twists i didnt expect. Truly as good as some of the best from soft game and ive platinumed them all.

When you get to new game plus, when you do the slum resident again, go around the trap. I think you’ll enjoy how the dynamics change

2 things. The puppet on the bridge you are able to lock on to and throw consumables at it after you decipher the cyrptic cypher. and second the language of the puppets becomes readable on NG+ once you complete the ergo wavelength decoder. Awsome video. Awsome game

Brilliant video, sir! 🤖 I'm still making my way through the game as well. I'm only just now paying attention to attack types when assembling weapons. 😅

I accidentally avoided the trap with the Patches cameo, then I fell through to try and make him feel better, and get more loot, and was disappointed when he disappeared.

The in-combat dialogue from the Scrapped Watchman is actually heart-wrenching, and I'm surprised I haven't seen a Vaati Vidya video about the history of the Watchman and his friends yet.

7:20 little did he know that you can Lock On the body

Did you also know about the boy painting being given or done by a D.Gray? Dorian Gray the immortal fictional character who's life force was tied to his painting

Just finished this game... this is so close to perfect, I loved it sm!!! I can't wait to unlock the other endings!

Wow I didn't know about the Sherlock Holmes one!! That's awesome

Pre-ordered this ame immediately aftwr beating he demo. No regrets. Such a great experience so far

I can’t wait to discover ALL of these !

I did not know about the fable charge in the sparring area, so that's really cool. Considering there's always a bonfire or stargazer, before the boss battle, you can always recharge your fable

Yo the twist at the hub threw me for a loop last night. Felt violated. Gonna get revenge for sure though

How come youtube didnt show me this! I love the vid

On the 3rd boss in the factory level to find Vingini. This game is so much fun. Definitely a child of Bloodborne can't wait to see what else this game has in store and hoping for dlc

The last name that the scrapped watchman says is toma. He is a kid that you can speak to through a window on the street of elysion boulevard. If you speak to him the first time he will talk about Murphy, after you kill the watchman and use the whistle near the windows toma will think it's the watchman he used to play with and say "I miss Zach, Sophie and Eric"

While hitting the body on the bridge, once you have the picture of the "treasure" it'll actually allow you to lock on to the body instead of having to free aim

Another great video thumbnail ❤

The police puppet boss’ last word you think is “town” is actually “Toma”. Toma is the name of a sick npc / boy you find in the city at a lit window inside a house, before you get to this boss. Toma and the other kids (the names the boss speaks) were friends with the puppet police boss and miss his police whistle or something. Toma then tasks you with finding it. The police boss references this as it dies. He misses his friends, the kids.

The outfits you get from the pre-order also reference other iterations of Pinocchio in different media. It's great lol All that said, it feels so much like a souls game that I haven't died to any boss too many times. yet. I don't think I'm halfway through so my outlook may change yet lol

Later in the game your getting a item that makes you understand the puppet language which can be taken to the ng+ and understand what every boss says

Loved this

7:21 If you have the Falcon Eyes legion arm, you can hold down the legion button and it will give you an aiming reticle. Makes hitting this thing way easier.

That first cryptic vessel quest is weird. It starts deep inside an old cathedral, inside a hidden dungeon that is submerged in corrosive liquid where there is a shiny chest, containing a vessel with an encrypted message... which just tells you to go to a local street and throw rocks at a hanging body, that hopefully is still there. This quest is in reverse. It should end in a hidden dungeon, not start there.

I love that on the photo of the cryptic vessel it even has the symbol for guesture on it... it's in plain sight, yet still hard to figure out.

Just beat it today loved it besides the second phase of THAT boss if you know what I mean. Hoping for DLC or more from these developers they nailed it.

About the puppet language, if you play NG+ the words will be more visible since you already heard it before.. it's a nice touch :)

Every time i get a little more human i try petting the cat and play yhe piano, I love all the little touches in the game

All you guys are all most thru the game and I'm still stuck on 1st Boss man I suck.. I've played all dark souls games and plat most of Souls games but dam this 1st boss always gets me in 2nd phase love the game and your videos

This game is incredibly well done. This is the most soulslike game I’ve ever played. It hit a perfect balance for me in difficulty but I didn’t use spectres or throwables so maybe others experiences are different

8:49 also there is a skill in P-Organ which u can charge a little fable after using pulse cell, just spam it then go to stargazer.. might not be faster but you dont have to go to hotel Krat

When the owner of the hotel gives you the schoolboy outfit, it comes with a gesture for showing off your clothes. Do it in front of her wearing the outfit and she will give you more dialogue and some ergo.

U. An lock onto the puppet on the bridge after you read the hint. Also approach it from the back side.

By the way the puppet language is translated when playing through new game plus.

The fable charge tip👌

Love the patches reference, but if he's not a great merchant after the betrayal he's getting got lol

If you Play the flute whilst fighting the watchman, he gets staggered! Just like gherman in BB.

Its cool that i knew all of these. Goat game.

I just started this after getting my Elden plat. I wasn't expecting this game to feek like bloodborne 2. I love this game so far

4:26 , if you jump to the right , OVER the trap floor , you get another secret dialog

The last word of the scrapper dialogue when he's saying the name is Toma.

I loved when the cat finally let me pet it

Love how he had metroid music playing 😅

getting it today. hope it's actually good!

you can read bosses (puppet) language properly if you play on NG+ all text is lear in NG+ :)

Game is so fun and I'm glad I bought it although I have ran into a few sections/bosses that were frustrating and not fun at all

Really enjoying this one. Definitely my favorite soulsborne style game other than Fromsofts games.

The house is hard to find when you’re tired. Came back the next day and found it immediately 😂

5:00 if you go around the trapped floor , the slum dude got an other voice cause you didn't get caught

Oh damn so that Puppet boss was Toma’s cop friend all along

Funny thing is if you don’t activate the trap in the thief room “patches” will start talking to someone about you not tripping the trap and sounds like they start arguing.

6:54 The last word is "Toma" ! Its an NPC. its one of the children that used to play with the Scrapped Watchman back before the frenzy. He has a side quest as he suffer from the petrification disease and tell P about a policeman puppet named Murphy that was his friend (he then say the same names as the boss: Zach, Sophie and Eric who were also his friends but humans who were all a group of children, friends with the Scrapped Watchman) (spoil) to complete his side quest: you need to have spoken to Toma before the boss fight, he is in a window in the "Homomachina" building just after the "inside the House of Elysion boulevard" stargazer, then after the boss fight against the Scrapped Watchman, one of the bench in the arena is lightne by candles and "friends" is written on the ground. You can gain the Faded Whistle (that won't appear if you got the quest after defeating the boss). The Faded Whistle will be in your inventory in "memory", use it in front of Toma's window to remind him of his long friend and finish the quest.

7:22 you can lock on to the puppet body instead of free aiming

I'm so shocked to hear audio this clear from a channel of this size

For the robber at the shack if you walk around the trap he gets upset and has special dialogue.

I already killed the policeman boss, but is it possible to get to him with the whistle in inventory and blow it during the fight? Like the music box in Bloodborne's Gascoigne fight?

These are all hard to miss honestly. To knock down the puppet body hanging on Elysium Avenue is very easy...you can simply target it with the little cogs used as distractions. 1 throw, 1 hit, puppet knocked down.

If you open the chest, without falling in the trap of 'patches' he rumbles stuff like 'why the trap didn't work? I won't gonna be paid...'

Tbh ive already started a challenge run on this game. Doing a legion/throwable object damage only run

It took me a moment but that Slum Resident looks like Patches but has actual hair on his head and not bald lol

i was questioning if i was hearing metroid prime music in the background of this video then i saw the outro and instantly confirmed it lol. makes me wanna go listen to ost now. anyways idk personally i feel like 6 of these arent really easter eggs/secrets just more like stuff you find out playing the game/tips though the puppet language while i didnt know what it was am glad i watched this video for that part alone didnt realize thats what it was.

There is at least one more level with the cat where you pick him up. I only found this once in my post game file minutes before starting my NG+ 1, so it could be post game only, will be testing later

For hitting the puppet on the bridge you can actually lock onto it

I absolutely love this game

Throwable at the body in the bridge is easy. It locks right on to the body

you could lock onto the body on the bridge but only after getting the vessel

6:54 I think that last word is Toma. The boy in the window. The same one who keeps coughing, thinking of happier times and missing playing with his friends - Zach, Sophie, Eric and... Murphy. The same Murphy Watchman who we are fighting as the boss, who used to play with children and who whistled to announce his presence. We can find this whistle, actually, the one who both the kid and the Watchman were missing. It appears on a bench altar in the courtyard, once you defeat Murphy - the boss - and return to this stargazer. And that's not the last step of the story - but I'll leave this last step spoiler free for anyone who wants to witness it on their own.

you can lock on to the body on the bridge btw

For the "puppet language" if u get to ng+ it won't be staticy anymore

About the Cryptic Vessel to hit the dummy, you can just lock on to it and throw something, not hard at all

Spring alone made me buy the game!
