Like many similar souls-likes, Lies of P features weapon durability that can hinder thei proficiency, so I'm here to show you how to repair your weapons in the game so you can prevent them from breaking before you try to reach your next Stargazer.

There are plenty of bosses and enemies in Lies of P that require your weapons to be in tip-top shape if you're going to take them, so knowing how to repair your weapons is bound to come in handy.

How do you repair weapons?

To repair your weapons in Lies of P, you’re going to need to use the Grinder built into your left arm or rest at a Stargazer. Unlike most Souls titles that require you to visit a Blacksmith or a checkpoint to repair your weapons, with the Grinder, you can repair them on the move at any time.

As you fight off the hoards of puppets, dogs, and bosses that have taken over the streets of Krat, you will notice a bar in the bottom right corner of your screen gradually emptying.

This is the durability of your weapon, and you must monitor it closely. While you can generally repair your weapons any time, even during boss fights and while moving, once the bar hits zero, the weapon, as of now, cannot be repaired.

Using the Grinder can take some time as it gradually sharpens your weapon back up to scratch, so balancing it during combat encounters will be essential, especially during some of the trickier boss fights.

What are your starting weapons in Lies of P?

The weapons you can choose at the start of Lies of P and could even carry you through to the end of the game are:

  • Puppet’s Blade
  • Wintry Rapier
  • Greatsword of Fate

After launching Lies of P and waking up in a dilapidated train, you’re quickly thrust into the gothic city of Krat in search of your maker, Geppetto.

However, before you leave the train, you’ll be given the option to choose your class via a weapon that is best suited to it.

Each weapon has a different attack style, with the Wintry Rapier a Stab Weapon and the Greatsword of Fate more of a Slash Weapon.
