Lies Of P Theory - Blog Posts

Dlc theory for lies of p ,Minor spoilers, you have been warned

Okay, so I have a small theory on when/at what point in the game we start the dlc as well as how we acess it, and It has to do with the cat - humanity to be specific...

So I'm not the only one who's noticed, but we seem to have a friendly relationship with the cat; alongside showing more physical acts of emotion in some parts of the trailer.

Now it's established in the game that we have the best relationship with the cat when our humanity is more or less maxed out by the end of the game (when we are able to get the golden lie). So it's reasonable to believe that if the dlc follows the same rules as the game, then we likely access the dlc at the end of the game before we start ng+.

Another thing, something I and many others believe is that the golden stargazer is how we access the dlc because of how it currently reacts when we interact with it. Now, going back to my original point with the golden lie, it's my belief that we are going to use it to access the stargazer and start the dlc. My main reasoning is the weapon's behaviour when starting an ng+ run with it. Unlike other weapons, it's still linked to your humanity and is consequently reverted to a duller state which you can grow back by gaining humanity.

Now, it could be a dev oversite. However, since the only time we're going to use it is in ng+ (as well as 1-2 bosses before), I feel like it was intentional. Now, if let's say a maxed out golden lie (which requires max humanity), it is needed to access the golden stargazer it ensures we're starting the dlc in a more human state. Another small detail I want to bring up is that you can get the golden lie in all 3 endings if you listen to enough record (I've done it) as choosing the non-human options don't contribute to any of the endings (only the choice to let Sophia live or to give up your heart). This means that if I'm right, you can access the dlc no matter which ending you get as long as you have that weapon. I'm probably definitely wrong buuut it's not gonna stop me from playing it plus making crackpot theories is just fun :p

He gave me bad vibes from the very beginning tbh.

Like, after killing mad donkey P seems to be in some sort of shock/conflicted state as he stares down at his bloody hands (likely because that was the first human he had to kill) and Geppetto just doesn't acknowledge this at all. He doesn't even seem to register that his puppet, someone he sees as his own son has just killed in his defence.

Which imo reads at them being slightly misaligned from the start.

P is silently processing that he just killed a person (showing the first major flicker of emotion from him) and Geppetto doesn't even bat an eye at this fact.

I could see this tiny little dissonance between them growing larger if the two are faced with similar problems in the future.

Ok i have to share toughts but Lets talk about Geppetto, in convinced that somehow that guy is gonna play the villain role AT LEAST IN A FINALE. The idea of him being a good dad its cute yes, but think about the first lop trailer.

THE LAUGH-? THE FACT THAT HE TOOK DOWN AN WHOLE AS ANGEL? And again THE EVIL LAUGH AT THE END? No no guys, he doesnt give me a good vibe at all
