Lies of P is a game that places a significant emphasis on combat within its gameplay. While it offers exploration and puzzle mechanics, combat is the core experience, and there are various ways to deal damage to your foes. Whether you prefer wielding massive swords, harnessing electricity, throwing bombs, or utilizing your mechanical arm attachments, Lies of P provides a range of options. In this guide, we will delve into Legion Arms, explaining what they are and how to obtain each one in the game.
What Are Legion Arms?
Legion Arms are special tools at your disposal in Lies of P. These tools serve an essential purpose, although their implementation can feel somewhat clunky. They don’t consume Stamina, but they have their own resource bar with a finite number of uses. To continue using the Legion Arm after depleting its meter, you’ll need to rest at a Stargazer or use items like Legion Magazines.
At the beginning of the game, you start with a basic prosthetic arm. However, as the story progresses, you’ll unlock several more Legion Arms.
Every Legion Arm & Where to Find Them
Initially, you have access to only two Legion Arms, and progression might seem unclear. However, unlocking new Legion Arms is straightforward—simply follow the story, and you’ll gain access to these powerful tools.
1. Puppet String
- Description: The Puppet String fires a wire at your enemy and pulls them towards you. For larger foes, you’ll be pulled towards them instead.
- Upgrade Details: Upgrades allow you to trace enemies, dodge after hitting them, and trigger an attack when moving towards them.
- How to Unlock: The base Legion Arm is unlocked when you reach Hotel Krat.
2. Fulminis

5. Pandemonium

7. Falcon Eyes

- Upgrade Details: Upgrades provide a larger explosion, double shot capability, and the ability to use the cannon while dodging.
- How to Unlock: Craftable using the Venigni Craft Machine, requiring one Legion Plug.
What Are Legion Plugs?
Legion Plugs are crafting materials necessary to create new Legion Arms. While they can’t be used to upgrade Legion Arms (for which you’ll need Legion Calibers), Legion Plugs are essential for crafting new arm attachments for your puppet friend.
You can find your first Legion Plug in the St. Frangelico Cathedral Chapel, hidden just before the first Miniboss encounter. Look for it by dropping onto the second ledge from the Pulley Platform mechanism, allowing you to bypass the enemies in the main hall.
In Lies of P, Legion Arms add depth to the combat experience, offering diverse tools to engage enemies creatively. Unlocking and upgrading these arms enhances your puppet’s capabilities and provides more strategic combat options. So, venture forth on your journey through Krat and harness the power of Legion Arms to overcome the challenges that await.
