As the true final boss, players are going to have to rely on everything they have learned thus far to get over this fight, and this guide will provide all the key information required to do just that.

How to Beat the Nameless Puppet in Lies of P
As is the norm by now, knowing how to perfectly guard against attacks will be a skill that comes in handy during this fight. If not, just being consistent with blocking can be a lifesaving tactic in both phases of the battle. The use of a defensiveLegion Arm like the Aegiscan help, as will equipping faster weapons and better armor.
Phase 1
In essence, the Nameless Puppet is an enemy similar to any of the Stalkers or evenLaxasia the Complete, which means it moves fast and hits hard.
Be a little more defensive and look to strafe around the Nameless Puppet as much as possible, only attacking when it is taking some downtime or Staggered byconsistent blocking. Try not to get too far away from it, as it has the ability to use a Pulse Cell to regenerate its health as well.
Phase 2
Now that Geppetto is no longer in control of the Nameless Puppet, things are about to get even more dangerous than before.
Same as before, it is wise to only attack when there’s some downtime. It can be hard to block all of the fast-moving attacks, so expect to take some damage and heal up whenever possible. Aegis will be great here as well, as is thePerfect Guard Grindstone, which triggers a Perfect Guard every few seconds. Hopefully, that will cause the Nameless Puppet to be Staggered and let players execute a Fatal Attack.
Eventually, it will be brought down, rewarding players with the Nameless Puppet’s Ergo and leading to either thegood or bad endingofLies of P.
