Lies Of P: 10 BEST Weapon Combinations [Hands-On Guide]

The weapon combination mechanic is interesting in Lies of P as it allows players to create a strong and bizarre combo of weapons.

The best weapon combination in Lies of P allows players to create the perfect combo of weapons that can trivialize a boss’s weakness. This mechanic of fusing blades with a different weapon handle is something refreshing in the Soulslike genre and allows for great weapon variety.

Key Takeaways
  • There are 25+ possible weapon combinations that you can make in Lies of P by combining different weapon blades with weapon handles.
  • The advantage of weapon combinations is that players can bring variety into movesets, scaling, and special attacks, allowing them to create an almost perfect weapon.
  • The disadvantage is that players cannot use special weapons if they depend on combinations, and special or boss weapons tend to be better than the normal weapon combos.
  • In my experience, the strength weapon combos and the acid weapons combinations tend to perform the best in Lies of P.
Important: A weapon combo consists of a different weapon blade and a handle, which creates variation in moveset in fable arts.

An exceptional combination of speed and damage is the Bone Cutting Sawblade combined with the Bramble Curved Sword Handle in Lies of P. Even though this combination might not be as powerful as the one with the Greatsword of Fate Blade, it still packs a punch. The fable art of the Bramble Curved Sword Handle is also exceptionally good.

The fable art is known as the Furious Slash, which basically allows you to kill an enemy with many slashes. If you continue to use the fable art, a finisher attack can also be initiated. While getting the faster and quicker moveset for a greatsword is the key to the combo, the amazing fable art is the cherry on top.

  • The Bone Cutting Sawblade can be found inside a chest on one of the rooftops in the Malum District.
  • You can purchase the Bramble Curved Sword from the Black Market Trader in the Malum District.

2. Big Pipe Wrench Head + Booster Glaive Handle

Losing health by blocking attacks can be recovered in Lies of P, and that mechanic can be capitalized upon by using the Big Pipe Wrench Head Blade with the Booster Glaive Handle. Not only does the Booster Glaive handle increase the swiftness of the Big Pipe Wrench Head, but it also gives it an exceptional boost to damage.

The Big Pipe Wrench Head was already a deadly blunt weapon on its own, but with this new handle, you’ll be dealing massive damage and recovering much of your health. The playstyle with the Wrench Head and Glaive Handle is to block incoming attacks and recover your health by dealing damage.

  • The Big Pipe Wrench Head can be found inside a chest near the Vengini Works area.
  • After stopping the flow of corruption, the Booster Glaive can be looted from a chest near the Workshop Union Entrance Stargazer.

3. Live Puppet’s Axe Blade + Coil Mjolnir Handle

In my opinion, if you’re looking for a pure strength weapon, then there is nothing better than this combo in Lies of P. The Coil Mjolnir Handle not only increases the range of the Live Puppet’s Axe Blade but also scales well with the blade, increasing the damage overall. The overall Motivity scaling is also really good for a strength weapon.

You need to make your hits count since you’ll need to charge your attacks for maximum damage. However, the fable arts in the following combination will help you land a few deadly hits on the bosses and enemies in Lies of P.

  • The Live Puppet’s Axe can be looted from a chest on top of a tower in the Barren Swamp area.
  • As for the Coil Mjolnir, you can find it in the chest located in the Krat Central Station Plaza.

4. Salamander Dagger Blade + Acidic Crystal Spear Handle

The Salamander Dagger is already an exceptional elemental weapon in Lies of P, but it falls short due to its low range and moveset. That problem can be easily overcome by combining it with the Acidic Crystal Spear Handle, which not only increases the range but also improves the damage on the dagger. Basically, this combo will make for a perfect elemental weapon in Lies of P.

With a longer reach and poking attacks, you can deal with enemies weak to fire from range. Additionally, you can even combine the fable attacks of the blade and the handle to initiate a powerful fire attack.

  • Workshop Union Entrance is where you’ll need to get the Salamander Dagger Blade.
  • The Acidic Crystal Spear is present in a chest located near the Stargazer of the Path of the Pilgrim area.

5. Big Pipe Wrench Head + Exploding Pickaxe Handle

This is another great combination for strength enjoyers, as it capitalizes on the Motivity stat and improves scaling for it. Keep in mind that the Big Pipe Wrench Head paired with the Exploding Pickaxe Handle will increase the blade’s overall range and damage.

However, the build will center around blocking attacks and dealing counterattacks after a block. You’ll have to play like a tank, and the build is really helpful for those who have trouble doing perfect dodges.

  • The Big Pipe Wrench Head is inside a chest near the Vengini Works area in Lies of P.
  • As for the Exploding Pickaxe, that weapon can be found in the Estella Opera House.

6. Acidic Crystal Spear Blade + Big Pipe Wrench Handle

Most of the endgame bosses are extremely weak to the acid damage, making the Acidic Crystal Spear Blade a good choice for late game. Pair this blade with the Big Pipe Wrench Handle, which, in my experience, increased the range and made the weapon more versatile.

You’d become a menace for these end-game bosses with the acid damage at your disposal, even from a longer range. The fable arts you get in the combination are also really good, further empowering these acid-damage attacks.

  • The Acidic Crystal Spear can be found in a chest near the Stargazer of the Path of the Pilgrim area.
  • The Big Pipe Wrench Head is inside a chest near the Vengini Works area in Lies of P.

7. Acidic Great Curved Sword Blade + Dancer Curved Sword Handle

Another great acid weapon that can basically trivialize endgame is the Acidic Great Curved Sword. Aside from the acid damage, there is not much that the weapon itself offers on its own. The same can be said for the Dancer Curved Sword, and it doesn’t even offer acidic attacks. But combining the two weapons results in one of the best weapon combos, which makes endgame easier in Lies of P.

The fable arts of each are also not that good on their own, but in combination, these become pretty useful to inflict acid damage and increase your overall attack power.

  • You can find the Acidic Great Curved Sword in a chest located near the Arche Abbey Outer Wall Stargazer.
  • The Dancer Curved Sword is also present inside a chest near the Rosa Isabelle Street Entrance Stargazer in Lies of P.

8. Greatsword Of Fate Blade + Salamander Dagger Handle

This is probably another great combination of fast but heavy-hitting attacks, giving a greatsword a fast and efficient moveset. Light attacks will turn into thrusting pokes, which are extremely useful when paired with the range you get using the greatsword blade. Additionally, your heavy attacks will turn into quick slashes instead of time taking great sword attacks.

When given the moveset of a dagger, a greatsword can become really deadly. And when one of the best great swords is paired with a compatible and powerful handle like the Salamandder Dagger Handle, you’ll have a much easier time in Lies of P.

  • Greatsword of Fate can be chosen as a starting strength weapon, or you can also purchase it later from the Wandering Merchant.
  • The Salamander Dagger is located in the Workshop Union Entrance area in Lies of P.

9. Electric Coil Stick Head + Krat Police Baton Handle

Most Puppet enemies are weak to electrical damage, and there is no better weapon than the Electrical Coil Stick for just that purpose. It is also obtained quite early; the same can be said for the Krat Police Baton. Now combine the Electric Coil Stick Head with the Police Baton Handle, and you’ll have a Puppet destroying machine at your disposal.

The fable art that you get with the Police Baton Handle in Lies of P will also empower your electric attacks, which is a welcome bonus. Aside from the fable arts, the new moveset you get with this handle is much more useful than the default attacks of the Electric Coil Stick.

  • You can purchase the Electric Coil Stick from the Wandering Merchant when you arrive at the Stargazer inside a house on Elysion Boulevard.
  • The Krat Police Baton can be obtained by killing a Krat Police Puppet enemy near the location mentioned above.

10. Puppet’s Saber Blade + Fire Axe Handle

This combination is probably one of the best ones during the early game of Lies of P, as the combo gives the player an overall balanced weapon. The Fire Axe Handle will increase the sword’s range and make its moveset more versatile than its boring default attacks. The fable arts are also really good in combination, as they allow you to tank boss attacks and initiate a quick counterattack in Lies of P.

  • You can actually get the Saber Balde as your starting weapon, but it can also be purchased from the Wandering Merchant later.
  • The Fire Axe can be found inside a chest located in the tunnels of the Workshop Union Culvert.

My Thoughts

In my experience, the weapons combinations which are optimized for strength builds can be used to defeat bosses easily. You can tank hits by blocking attacks and deal a massive chunk of damage by counterattacking, all the while getting your health back. Aside from these strength weapons, the acidic weapon combinations also helped me defeat some endgame bosses that were weak to acid. The Electric Coil Stick combo made the early game a breeze, mostly of Puppets.

  • I would like to add that the boss or special weapons are superior to these weapon combinations.
  • These special cannot be combined with other weapons, but the stats, scaling, and fable arts on these weapons are much superior to the normal weapon combos.
  • So, I would suggest switching to special weapons when you get the chance.
