How to complete Lies of P Krat Central Station Plaza
Upon entering Krat Central Station, you’ll immediately spot a peculiar blue light ahead. Head straight for it, disregarding your surroundings. Interact with the light to awaken the first Stargazer in the game (unlocks the Stargazer’s Guide trophy/achievement). This also grants you the ability to level up using your ergo. Rest at the Stargazer to replenish your health and Pulse Cell charges.
In Krat Central Station Plaza, to the left of the Stargazer, you’ll encounter six enemies. Move cautiously, keeping your guard up to survive this ambush. After defeating all foes, including mechanical canines, interact with the glowing object to acquire Krat Times Issue 183, which is atop a crate in the northwest corner of the plaza. Head to the right part of the plaza, where you’ll encounter five more enemies and discover a Dim Ergo Fragment.
Upon climbing the stairs to the right, you’ll find three additional enemies, but the door here is locked. You can choose to skip this area or gather valuable ergo. Double back and use the stairs on the right (directly opposite the Stargazer) to access the next area.
In this area, eliminate four puppets before proceeding. Be vigilant for an ambush from the left, past the alley, where a mechanical dog awaits.
Keep going straight until you appear in an open area. Turn left to collect the next item from the top of the blocked stairs. Keep going straight until you come across another strong enemy. This enemy uses strong attacks (with red glow) that are impossible to evade or block. The only way to survive this attack is by blocking right before the attack connects (parry).
Cerasani Alley walkthrough
Make a right turn to enter another alley within the Central Station Plaza area of Lies of P. Here, you’ll encounter three enemies and a Thermite. Before proceeding straight, take a right and ascend the stairs to reach the upper ledge. Interact with the glowing object to acquire the Dim Ergo Fragment.
Descend from the ledge and continue straight to confront another mechanical dog and two puppets. Proceed forward and make a right turn to locate Venigni’s Urgent Repair Tool, situated right next to a locked door.
Double back and veer right to access a new open area featuring two diverging paths, one leading upward and the other descending. Engage and defeat the mechanical puppets, including the headless one, as you proceed downhill.
Combat the dog and acquire the Fable Catalyst, but remain vigilant for potential ambushes in this vicinity. Once you’ve completed your tasks here, ascend the stairs leading to the upper section of Cerasani Alley in Lies of P. To your right, open a shortcut by interacting with the red glowing button on the gate.
Retrieve the Vivid Ergo Fragment located in front of a practice dummy. Proceed to restore the Stargazer of Cerasani Alley and engage in a conversation with the Wandering Merchant positioned to its left. The merchant offers the following items for sale in the game.
- Fable Catalyst
- Throwing Cell
- Electric Blitz Abrasive
- Puppet Saber Blade/Handle
- Greatsword of Fate Blade/Handle
- Wintry Rapier’s Blade/Handle
From Cerasani Alley Stargazer, go upstairs to the right to come across your first main boss in Lies of P.
How to defeat Parade Master boss in Lies of P
The Parade Master initiates the battle with a charging attack, using its claw-like arms for slamming and slashing at the players. Be prepared to block as soon as its attack animations commence. The slam attacks can inflict significant stamina damage, so try to dodge them whenever possible.
Midway through the battle, the Parade Master detaches its head and wields it as a weapon. This presents an opportunity to stagger it and execute a critical attack. While continuously blocking and evading its assaults, chip away at its health. This battle tests your endurance and patience, so be sure to replenish your health regularly and maintain your weapon’s sharpness. For defeating it, you’ll receive Parade Leader’s Ergo and Quartz as rewards.
With the Parade Master defeated, proceed to cross the bridge and enter Hotel Krat. Prior to opening the door, carefully inspect both the right and left sides of the entrance. Here, you’ll discover a Hidden Moonstone and other valuable loot.
