Lies of P is a narrative-driven game that places a significant emphasis on its combat systems. However, it’s not just about combat; the decisions you make throughout the game can lead to different outcomes and endings. While many players aim for the best possible ending, there’s also a “bad” ending in Lies of P, and achieving it involves specific requirements. If you’re curious about how to obtain this alternative ending, this guide will walk you through the steps.

How to Get the Bad Ending in Lies of P
The bad ending in Lies of P is somewhat ironic; it results in the main protagonist becoming a “real boy” under Geppetto’s care. This ending, named “The Real Boy: They All Lived Happily After,” might sound like a happy conclusion, but it’s far from a fairytale ending once you delve into the game’s narrative.
To reach this ending, your choices regarding telling the truth or lying during the game’s decisions don’t matter as much. Instead, it all comes down to one crucial decision near the end of the game. When you confront Geppetto in the final room after the “Under the Abyss Stargazer,” choose to give in to his pleas and present the heart to the creator.

By making this choice, you’ll bypass the usual final battle against the Nameless Puppet. Instead, the screen fades to black, and Geppetto reemerges on the streets of Krat, accompanied by the now-revived Carlo. Carlo takes the place of the protagonist who had been working tirelessly to save the city.
As the screen fades, you’ll see Sophia’s fading words questioning whether this is the future you truly desired, leaving you with a profound sense of the consequences of your actions and decisions throughout the game.
All Endings in Lies of P
The bad ending is just one of the three possible conclusions in Lies of P. To unlock the other two endings, “Rise of P” and “Free from the Puppet String,” the key factor is whether you’ve chosen to tell the truth or lie more frequently during your playthrough. Regardless of the ending you achieve, completing the game will also earn you the corresponding trophy or achievement related to the ending you reach.
