Refuse to give Geppetto your heart at the end of the game to unlock The Nameless Puppet optional boss. Similar to the last few bosses, the first phase is slower than the second. If you upgraded the P-Organ to increase special grindstone uses, the second application helps.
Gear Setup
What gear you bring to the fight is entirely up to you and should match the attributes you have leveled up. Here is the setup that was used in making this guide:
- Weapon: Bone-Cutting Sawblade +10 & Big Pipe Wrench Handle
- Legion Arm: Falcon Eyes
- Amulets: Patience, Iron Wall, & Blue Guardianship
- Frame: F350
- Converter: Old Generation (starter)
- Cartridge: Belford Disruption
- Liner: LADA Fiber-Reinforced
Equip the Electric Grindstone. Additionally, bring Saw Blades and Throwing Cells, but don’t use them unless the Nameless Puppet has less than 30% health in phase 2 and you have sufficient life/healing to survive.
Phase 1
At the start of phase 1, buff your weapon then quickly move to the right to avoid Caro’s opening attack. Block most of the incoming attacks and try get get perfect guards to stagger him later in the fight. When the First Puppet is stunned, hit him with a charged attack. Otherwise, limit your attacks to 1-2 hits between combos if you don’t need to heal, repair, or rest. Unlike other bosses in Lies of P, the Nameless Puppet will heal if you are too far away from him.
- Swing/Uppercut/Jab: Block or perfect guard the Nameless Puppet’s core attacks.
- Double Swing: When the boss swings his sword in a circle over his head counter-clockwise, block 2 consecutive hits coming from his right.
- Leap Attack: If the Nameless Puppet jumps toward you either block or dodge to the side.
Phase 2
In phase 2, the Nameless Puppet is faster, more aggressive, and has 2 buffed swords. Once you lower his life to 30%, toss all your Throwing Cells at him in succession. Then, switch to the Saw Blades and throw them after the previous one completes its attack. Use the Urgent Repair Tool when you’re durability is low. The Nameless Puppet adds the following attacks to this phase:
- Dash Attack: If you see the Nameless Puppet squat with both swords over his shoulder, block or move to the side.
- Charged Dash Attack: When the Nameless Puppet squats with both swords out to the side, run to the side to avoid a dash attack that will knock you down.
- Leap & AoE Attack: The First Puppet will jump high in the air just before slamming his sword down creating a 3 red lines on the ground that deal AoE damage and will explode. When you see him jump, either steps slightly to the side to end up between the lines or move far the the side/away from the target.
- Corkscrew Attack: If the Nameless Puppet spins as he jumps up, run to the side and avoid his corkscrew attack.
- Extended Slam: When the boss raised a glowing sword high above his head, run/dodge to the side and avoid the extra long slam that follows.
- Dash, Thrust, & Lift: If the boss squats with 1 sword pointed at you, move far away. He will follow by lunging toward you, impaling you with his sword, and lifting you up.
