Lies Of P: 15 Best Weapons, Ranked

Lies of P can’t quite hold a candle to the likes of Elden Ring in terms of weapon variety, but the game does offer a pretty good selection of armaments to choose from. Whether you prefer more generic daggers and swords or anime-style massive blunt weapons, there’s a little something for everybody here.

One of the things that separates Lies of P from other soulslike games is a feature that allows players to break down weapons and use the resulting components to craft new ones. However, there are also certain special weapons that cannot be disassembled. With that in mind, we decided to ignore disassembly as we put together our list of the best weapons in Lies of P. Expect only standard and special boss weapons here.

15 Electric Coil Stick

Fast Early Game Weapon That Deals Electrical Damage

The Electric Coil Stick is a fantastic early game weapon that can act as a good replacement for your starting sword. This weapon doesn’t have the best range, but what it lacks in reach it more than makes up for in speed. The Electric Coil Stick is also a relatively light weapon that gets a B scaling in Advance and a C scaling in Motivity, making it suitable for a wide variety of builds. Its biggest selling point, however, is its ability to deal electrical damage.

The Electric Coil Stick comes with a very helpful Fable Art that gives you electrical damage on demand. It’s not as fancy as other Fable Arts, but it’s certainly reliable. Meanwhile, the secondary Fable Art is a classic jump attack. Again, nothing special, but that’s to be expected from an early game weapon. You can buy the Electric Coil Stick from the Wandering Merchant found Inside the House on Elysion Boulevard for only 1,200 Ergo.

14 Circular Electric Chainsaw

Unique Buzzsaw With A Spinning Fable Art

Although classified as a blunt weapon, the Circular Electric Chainsaw is neither blunt nor a chainsaw. But details aside, this is a very unique weapon that can quickly dismember small puppets while also inflicting a significant amount of damage upon larger ones. The weapon is needlessly heavy, but it does get bonus points for being able to inflict Electric Blitz damage. The A scaling in Advance is yet another reason why the Circular Electric Chainsaw made the list.

The weapon’s primary Fable Art comes in the form of a slash attack that can be charged to deal extra damage. When fully charged, the attack can make short work of small groups of enemies. The Circular Electric Chainsaw gets Endure as its secondary Fable Art, which is a bit disappointing since you can find the same skill on a bunch of other weapons as well. The Circular Electric Chainsaw can be purchased for 3,200 Ergo from the Wandering Merchant in the Lorenzini Arcade.

13 Acidic Great Curved Sword

Well-Rounded Greatsword That Can Be Imbued With Acid Damage

The Acidic Great Curved Sword is more of a glaive than an actual sword, but that’s neither here nor there. Acid only affects human enemies, so we wouldn’t necessarily call it one of the best damage types in Lies of P in most situations. However, there are a few human bosses against whom the Acid imbuement can be highly effective indeed. Imbuement aside, this is a solid weapon with well-rounded stats that fits a variety of builds thanks to its versatile scaling.

Despite what its name might suggest, the Acidic Great Curved Sword isn’t permanently imbued with Acid. Instead, the elemental damage kicks in once the player activates the primary Fable Art, Acid Slash. The Fable Art comes in the form of a powerful slash attack that temporarily imbues the weapon with Acid upon finishing. The move costs three Charges, so you won’t have the chance to use it all that often, but expect most things you do end up using it on to die pretty much instantly. The secondary Fable Art, Absolute Defense, is just a perfect block. The Acidic Great Curved Sword can be found inside a chest close to the Abbey Outer Wall Stargazer.

12 Big Pipe Wrench

Straightforward Large Blunt Weapon That Hits Like A Truck

The Big Pipe Wrench is a ridiculously oversized blunt weapon that weighs a ton and takes ages to swing. However, this weapon also hits like a truck and can make short work of enemies provided you time your swings properly. The Big Pipe Wrench has one of the highest attack ratings in the game and gets a very respectable B scaling in Motivity, making it ideal for Strength-based builds.

The Big Pipe Wrench’s Fable Arts are pretty much exactly what you’d expect from a weapon like this. You’ve got a devastating smash attack with a long windup time along with a quicker, but faster slash attack. The Big Pipe Wrench can be found fairly early on in the game in the Venigni Works area sitting in a chest.

11 Carcass Crystal Axe

Reliable Axe Capable Of Dealing AoE Acid Damage

The Carcass Crystal Axe is a pretty unique blunt weapon that inflicts acid damage. While most of the best weapons in Lies of P are geared toward helping you take down mechanical enemies, this one is better at dealing with human opponents. The Carcass Crystal Axe is a fairly well-rounded weapon that gets a B scaling in Advance and a C scaling in Motivity. It’s a bit heavy for a hybrid weapon, but it makes up for that in other ways.

The Carcass Crystal Axe’s Fable Arts aren’t anything to write home about, but they get the job done. The primary one is an explosion that deals acid damage in a radius while the secondary one temporarily decreases stamina consumption. You can buy the Carcass Crystal Axe from Test Subject 826 for 3,700 Ergo, which is a quite cheap price all things considered. You’ll find Test Subject 826 on Rosa Isabelle Street after you defeat Laxasia the Complete.

10 Coil Mjolnir

Large Hammer That Deals AoE Electrical Damage

Coil Mjolnir is a beefy blunt weapon inspired by Thor’s eponymous hammer. Just like the Thunder God’s signature weapon, this hammer surges with electricity, which deals bonus damage and staggers mechanical foes. Coil Mjolnir isn’t the fastest weapon, but it does get plenty of attack power and a B scaling in Motivity, so you’ll definitely want to consider it if you’re playing a Strength build.

Coil Mjolnir has a fantastic Fable Art that deals electrical damage in a radius around you while also imbuing the weapon with electricity. The second Fable Art is far less impressive as it’s essentially just a basic block. The hammer can be found in Krat Central Station, one of the first areas of the game. However, you won’t be able to acquire it during your first visit and will have to come back later for it.

9 Etiquette

Fast And Light Dagger With Defensive Capabilities

Etiquette is a spiffy-looking dagger that’s essentially just an umbrella. This is the shortest weapon on this list and its damage isn’t all that impressive either, however, Etiquette is not to be overlooked because it can be used as both an offensive and defensive implement. In fact, it’s often more useful for defense than offense. Perhaps usurping for a weapon like this, Etiquette gets an A scaling in Technique and is one of the best options for builds that rely heavily on mobility.

Etiquette’s primary Fable Art is a basic stab attack that deals a lot of damage, but is quite predictable. The secondary Fable Art, on the other hand, is a lot more interesting. The Fable Art allows Pinocchio to shrug off even the most punishing of attacks and retaliate with a powerful counterattack immediately after. Granted, the player does need to be good at perfect blocks in order to pull it off. Etiquette can be acquired by defeating the Scrapped Watchman and trading its rare Ergo to Alidoro in exchange for the weapon.

8 Live Puppet’s Axe

Massive Weapon That Deals A Massive Amount Of Damage

The Live Puppet’s Axe is one of the best weapons in Lies of P in terms of raw damage, however, it’s also one of the heaviest ones. The tradeoff is definitely worth it considering this weapon can literally one-shot a lot of enemies, though wielding the Live Puppet’s Axe effectively can be a bit of a challenge. Unless you’re going for a full Motivity build, you’ll barely be able to lift the weapon off the ground, let alone wield it. But if you do have the Strength for it, this is a fantastic weapon, especially for boss fights.

As if its base damage wasn’t already ridiculous enough, the Live Puppet’s Axe comes with a Fable Art that allows it to deal bonus damage. The buff only applies to the first swing after activation, and you’ll need to get the timing just right in order to inflict extra damage, but the effect is catastrophic if you manage to land the hit. The secondary Fable Art is good old Endure, so nothing too special there. You can find the Live Puppet’s Axe inside a chest on top of a tower in the Barren Swamp.

7 Exploding Pickaxe

Large Blunt Weapon That Deals Heavy Fire Damage

The Exploding Pickaxe is a large blunt weapon whose name tells you everything you need to know about it. In addition to hitting enemies with explosive force, the weapon also inflicts fire damage thanks to one of its Fable Arts. Like most of the best Strength-based weapons, the Exploding Pickaxe gets a solid B scaling in Motivity and has a high attack rating, but suffers in the speed and weight departments.

The Exploding Pickaxe’s primary Fable Art, Flamestrike, is where the weapon gets its name from. Flamestrike is a powerful jump attack that allows the player to deal AoE fire damage to surrounding enemies. The weapon becomes temporarily imbued with fire following the attack, allowing for equally devastating follow-ups. Meanwhile, the secondary Fable Art is just a buff that temporarily decreases stamina consumption. You can find the Exploding Pickaxe inside a safe in the Estella Opera House.

6 Frozen Feast

Beautiful Sword That Gets Progressively Faster With Each Hit

The Frozen Feast is a badass-looking crystal greatsword that’s said to possess minor time manipulation powers. While you won’t be able to freeze enemies in their tracks using this weapon, the description is more than mere flavor text. The sword is very slow at first but starts swinging faster and faster with each subsequent hit thanks to a neat passive effect that ties in with the time manipulation power described in the lore. As is common for weapons with a B Motivity scaling or higher, the Frozen Feast has high physical attack but will weigh you down substantially.

Liberate, the primary Fable Art, gives Pinocchio the ability to tap into the weapon’s hidden power instantly, without having to wait for the passive effect to trigger. Upon activation, Frozen Feast starts swinging at full speed for a few seconds before reverting to its initial form. Liberate eats up a single Fable Art Charge, so feel free to use it often. The secondary Fable Art is just a slash attack, so nothing too interesting there. You can acquire Frozen Feast by defeating Champion Victor and trading his rare Ergo to Alidoro in exchange for the weapon.

5 Holy Sword Of The Ark

Unique Boss Weapon Capable Of Altering Its Size

The Holy Sword of the Ark is a boss weapon that looks like a pretty typical greatsword. However, this weapon has a lot more going on for it than first meets the eye. Among other things, it can change its length and has a hidden five-hit combo moveset. In addition, the Holy Sword of the Ark deals a ton of damage and gets a B scaling in Motivity along with a C scaling in Technique. The only thing dragging this weapon down a couple of notches is its weight.

The Holy Sword of the Ark comes with a unique Weapon Art known as Alter that lengthens the weapon while also reducing its stamina consumption. Using the primary Fable Art without first altering the weapon results in a generic smash attack, however, this changes to a fancy five-hit combo slash when used while the weapon is transformed. You can acquire the Holy Sword of the Ark by defeating King’s Flame, Fuoco and trading its rare Ergo to Alidoro in exchange for the blade.

4 Trident Of The Covenant

Powerful Trident With High Critical Strike Rating

The Trident of the Covenant is a boss weapon that comes with good range, above-average damage, and increased durability. The damage doesn’t look particularly impressive compared to some of the other weapons on this list, however, the Trident of the Covenant has a special passive that increases its critical strike rating. In other words, the Trident of the Covenant actually does more damage than other weapons, not less. Provided the RNG gods are on your side, of course. The Trident of the Covenant gets a B scaling in Technique and a C scaling in Motivity.

The trident’s primary Fable Art, Link Rush Stab, can be a bit tricky to pull off at first, but you’ll be able to deal a massive amount of damage with it once you manage to master it. The secondary Fable Art is a counter that requires you to first time a perfect parry before riposting with an attack of your own. Again, not very easy to master, but this weapon is meant for Dexterity-based builds and demands a lot of finesse. The Trident of the Covenant can be acquired by defeating Fallen Archbishop Andreus and trading its rare Ergo to Alidoro in exchange for the weapon.

3 Noblesse Oblige

Your Go-To Blunt Weapon For One-Shotting Puppets

The Noblesse Oblige may look like an ordinary club, but this is secretly one of the best weapons in Lies of P. Granted, it’s also one of the heaviest weapons in the game and isn’t as durable as other weapons. Despite that, you don’t want to overlook the Noblesse Oblige because one swing from this puppy can one-shot most regular-sized enemies. Not just that but this boss weapon gets an A scaling in Motivity and can be used both offensively and defensively.

The Noblesse Oblige’s primary Fable Art is a straightforward smash attack that obliterates anything caught in its path. It’s certainly not subtle, but it’s very effective. Meanwhile, the secondary Fable Art is a buff that makes you able to tank enemy attacks for a short time. You can acquire the Noblesse Oblige by defeating Simon Manus, Awakened God and trading its rare Ergo to Alidoro in exchange for the weapon.

2 Puppet Ripper

Devastating Scythe Capable Of Cleaving Through Groups Of Enemies

Despite being classified as a sword, the Puppet Ripper looks more like a scythe than anything else and gets massive style points. But this is not just a fantastic-looking weapon, it’s also a very powerful one. The Puppet Ripper has excellent range, good damage, and gets a B scaling in Technique along with a C scaling in Motivity. If you’re going for a Dexterity build, this is one of the best choices.

The Puppet Ripper’s Storm Spinning Slash Fable Art is truly something to behold. When timed properly, it can be used to make short work of multiple opponents at once. The other Fable Art, Quick Upward Slash is just as effective, however, it’s aimed more towards single targets. You can acquire the Puppet Ripper by defeating the King of Puppets and trading its rare Ergo to Alidoro in exchange for the scythe.

1 Two Dragons Sword

Lightning-Fast Sword With Amazing Damage Potential

The Two Dragons Sword is a beautiful katana that lets you cosplay as a puppet samurai, minus the Kabuto helmet. As you might expect from a weapon like this, the Two Dragons Sword is very fast, light, has good reach, and allows the player to remain highly mobile while delivering punishing blows. The blade’s damage is only average, but keep in mind that the DPS will be very high precisely because this is such a fast weapon. The Two Dragons Sword gets an A scaling in Technique, making it the go-to weapon for Dexterity builds.

Unsurprisingly, the Two Dragons Sword’s primary Fable Art relies on mobility. Upon use, the player dashes forward and quickly unleashes a couple of powerful attacks. The other Fable Art is even more impressive as it allows you to blow a wind of swords in a cone in front of you that damages everything in a wide radius. The Two Dragons Sword can be acquired by defeating the Puppet-Devouring Green Monster and trading its rare Ergo to Alidoro in exchange for the weapon.
