There are many different ways to level up and gain an advantage during battle in Lies Of P. Players can upgrade their weapon, the Legion Arm, and even use abilities such as Wishstones and Grindstones for status effects. But, perhaps the most lasting effect that can level Pinocchio up is his P-Organ.
These are abilities that permanently give Pinocchio some help. The great thing about the P-Organ is it can be reset, so players can tailor their upgrades based on not just their current play style but also any boss they are facing. Here’s a list of the best P-Organ upgrades in the game.

10 Light Weight
Weight might be one of the most important aspects of Lies Of P, but it also may be one of the most overlooked. Players often focus too much on leveling up their health and attack power that they may not pay much attention to their weight and capacity limits. But, these are extremely important because they are what allows Pinocchio to equip strong weapons and defensive parts.
This P-Organ upgrade can provide a boost so that players that have been falling behind in the weight limit department can catch up. However, players won’t need this upgrade if they’ve been keeping track of that stat, which prevents it from ranking any higher.
- Added boost to neglected stat
- Quick stat catch-up
9 Enhance Fatal Attack ATK
The fatal attack is one of the key moments in a battle in Lies Of P. It’s a lot more than just an opportunity to do a lot of damage with great weapons. It’s also a time that allows the player to rest for at least a second or two. Having said that, being able to deal a lot of damage is definitely a plus.
It’s also kind of a given, like a free throw in basketball. The enemy is just sitting there and waiting to be attacked, so players are going to want to make the most of it. That’s where this P-Organ upgrade comes in. Skilled players will be able to deal great damage regardless, though, so it may not be as needed for seasoned gamers.
- Increase in free damage
- Key against bosses
- Stackable
8 Enhance Pulse Cells Recovery
Players will learn very early on in Lies Of P just how important a Pulse Cell is. It has several passive bonuses to it, but its main function is to heal Pinocchio. Since the combat in the game is so difficult, players will have to utilize them often. And, they are going to want to get the most out of each Pulse Cell used.
This upgrade will come in handy when players have a lot of health points. When their health gauge is close to zero, having this upgrade will help bring it back to maximum. Of course, there are other ways to heal, too, so it’s more of a support upgrade than a very important one.
- Boost in healing
- Most important healing item
7 Increase Staggerable Window
It’s already been stated how important a fatal attack is. The rest and break in the battle was noted as a good time for a player to take a breather. But, what’s better than a short rest? A longer one. That’s what this upgrade grants the player. It increases the time the player has to get in position to deliver a fatal attack.
This is extremely helpful, especially when it comes to bigger bosses that may take longer to maneuver around to get into position. Of course, some players may not want to rest. In that case, the upgrade would be irrelevant, as they would strike immediately.
- Useful against bosses
- Break in action
6 Link Dodge
One of the most difficult parts of Lies Of P’s combat system is just how much damage is taken during an attack. Blocking helps, but doing a perfect block is very difficult, and a standard block still deals damage. So, dodging might be another primary way of evading attacks.
This upgrade allows players to link their dodges so that they can dodge more easily without Pinocchio having to recover. Of course, dodging doesn’t deal any damage, nor does it heal Pinocchio, so there are more upgrades that are better. But, having increased dodging options can be a valuable part of any player’s repertoire, so it’s a solid middle of the road upgrade.
- Limits animation
- Aids in movement
5 Quick Wishstone Use
One of the most frustrating aspects to Lies Of P is how long many of Pinocchio’s animations take. A lot of actions, such as using a Pulse Cell, take Pinocchio a second to go through, leaving him vulnerable to attack in the process.
Using the Wishstone is one of the most egregious examples, as it seems like it takes forever to activate. This upgrade cuts down that time significantly. And, considering that Wishstones are such an important part of combat, especially in regard to having a specter during boss fights, players are going to want to use it often.
- Limits animation
- Useful against bosses
- Tailor to play style
4 Add Amulet Slots
The value of Amulets can’t be overstated in Lies Of P. They provide a significant boost in many areas of the game such as Pulse Cells, stamina, attributes, and many more. When it comes to Amulets, the more the merrier, so players are going to want to focus on P-Organ upgrades that allow them to equip more amulets.
Of course, there is a slight downside to this. Amulets do have a weight to them, and the better ones tend to weigh more, so it can have a negative effect on Pinocchio if the player isn’t keeping a close eye on their capacity limits. This detail prevents this upgrade from ranking at the top.
- Diverse uses
- Stackable
- Tailor to play style
3 Rising Dodge
As stated earlier, animations can be a huge problem in Lies Of P. This can be especially frustrating after Pinocchio takes a big hit that knocks him down. Players don’t want to wait to get back up again. They want to rise quickly and get back into the fight. That’s where this upgrade comes in.
It doesn’t help with stats or strength, but it’s very versatile in the way it assists combat by allowing the player to be more mobile. It’s not going to be a huge change that’s a turning factor in a fight the way the top two upgrades are, but it is still extremely important.
- Aids in movement
- Useful against bosses
2 Increase Cube Uses
One of the most frustrating aspects to Lies Of P is just how many uses a lot of the game’s power up items are allowed. When Pinocchio is first granted the Wishstone, he’s only allowed to use it one time, which isn’t that great. Players may not even want to equip it at that point.
But, if players focus on using the P-Organ to upgrade its uses, the Wishstone can be incredibly important at turning the tide of any boss fight, especially when using the specter to both deal damage and be a distraction, allowing Pinocchio to operate unencumbered.
- Stackable
- Useful against bosses
- Tailor to play style
1 Increase Pulse Cells
The number one rule of gaming is don’t die. It doesn’t matter what type of game a player is invested in; health points are by far the most important attribute. Without them, it’s game over. Lies Of P is no different. There are many ways to gain health, but Pulse Cells are by far the strongest.
No other consumable grants HP. When the game first starts, there aren’t that many Pulse Cells available, so players are going to want to increase their number. P-Organ upgrades are their best bet. That’s what makes this the best upgrade there is — because without it, players are going to be in for one difficult ride.
- Most important healing item
- Useful against bosses
- Stackable
