Free from the puppet string achievement in Lies of P

39 5 43

This achievement is tied to 1 of the 3 possible endings.

To get this ending you only have to do 2 things:

1.

It’s also worth noting that in order to be able to do #2 you must have acquired enough humanity in order to get the refuse response to show up. The exact amount needed is unknown, but I know it doesn’t require much. As long as you listen to records all the way through and lie a few times you should be set.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

I HAVE ACHIEVED THIS BY TAKING THE WAY OF LIE AND LETTING SOPHIA LIVE.
I IMAGINE THAT THE TRIGGER THAT ACTIVATES THIS ENDING IS
THE CHOICE BETWEEN "GIVE PEACE"(Final Rise of P) and "LET HER LIVE"(Final Free from the puppet string).

I think a lot of people have verified already that it's not just about that decision. It's just that giving her peace gives you a load of humanity points, so is likely to tip you into the Rise of P ending, especially if you've been picking a lot of other humanity points along the way.

This decision literally directly determines the ending. There might be some edge case where you’d have enough Humanity to refuse the heart, but there’s also some minimum Humanity requirement to be able to get Rise of P, but as long as you let her live you get locked into this ending. It’s absolutely not as simple as having lots of Humanity = Rise of P though. And as far as I know no one has experimented with finding a Humanity threshold for being able to get Rise of P.

I don’t know why my guy said in all caps the same thing as the solution, but they’re just repeating what the solution says. If there’s any evidence or theory that any other choice matters then feel free to present it.

I mean I don't have direct evidence because I've not watched any playthroughs, people in this thread talk about giving Sophia peace but still getting the free from the puppet strings ending: https://old.reddit.com/r/LiesOfP/comments/172izwn/lies_of_p_...

Do you need to defeat the Nameless Puppet to get this achievement?

Yes

I got this normally on my first blind run, i even grant peace to sophia. So this is the normal ending if you don't have enough Humanity or Give the hearth.

Got a littl econfussion because i have a secret Achievement pending, but is the one to give hearth, so made a NG+ 3 run for nothing... 6 hours wasted... GG.

What exactly happens with this ending?

Posted by Mike Langlois on 08 Jan at 23:08

In Rise of P, Geppetto calls you son, you mourn his death, and you end up giving Sophia a second life by putting her soul in a puppet. In this ending, Geppetto says that you’re just a puppet and you don’t revive Sophia.
