Lies of P doesn’t hand out second chances easily. Like any true Souls-like, every level and upgrade feels like a lifelong commitment. But once you reach a certain point, the game opens the door to experimentation. You’ll finally be able to respec your character — reset your stats, P-Organ choices, and Legion Arm upgrades — to rebuild your puppet from the ground up.
If you’re looking to fix early mistakes or just try a completely new build, here’s how the respec system works and how to make the most of it.
Unlocking the Respec Feature
The respec option doesn’t appear until you’ve pushed deep into the main storyline. You’ll first need to complete Chapter VII and defeat the boss in the Grand Exhibition. This battle rewards you with a key that opens a hidden garden behind the Exhibition. Inside that garden stands the Saintess of Mercy Statue, the central point for all respecs in Lies of P.
Once you discover the statue, you’ll gain access to a menu where you can reset your Ergo stats, P-Organ upgrades, and Legion Arm modifications. Until then, every point you’ve spent is locked in, so you’ll need to live with your early choices for quite a while.
What You Need to Respec
You can’t respec for free — the process uses a special currency called Gold Coin Fruits. These fruits grow on a magical Gold Coin Fruit Tree in Hotel Krat, which becomes available after you finish the Malum District in Chapter V.
The fruits grow slowly over time, so make sure to check back regularly. You’ll need several of them for each reset, and the price goes up every time you respec. Here’s the general process:
- Find the Gold Coin Fruit Tree in Hotel Krat’s courtyard.
- Wait for fruits to grow naturally over time.
- Harvest the fruits before you visit the Saintess of Mercy Statue.
- Use the fruits at the statue to reallocate your stats, P-Organ upgrades, or Legion Arm setup.
Because the cost increases, respecs are meant to be rare — tools for major build changes, not casual tinkering.
What You Can Reset
The respec feature allows you to adjust several parts of your character’s progression:
- Ergo Levels: Reassign your core stat points (like Motivity, Technique, or Capacity) to try new weapon builds.
- P-Organ Upgrades: Reconfigure your puppet’s passive bonuses for fresh combat perks.
- Legion Arm: Swap or rebuild your arm attachments for entirely new abilities.
If you’re experimenting with weapon scaling or new P-Organ combinations, a respec can breathe new life into your build — especially before end-game bosses that require fine-tuned setups.
Tips for Efficient Respecs
Because of the time-based Gold Coin Fruit system, smart management is key.
- Check the tree often: Even if you’re not ready to respec, it’s worth gathering fruits regularly.
- Don’t use fruits early: Save them until you unlock the statue — they’ll stack up naturally.
- Experiment strategically: Use your first respec to explore playstyles and refine your favorite setup.
The more patient you are, the easier it’ll be to afford respecs when you truly need them — especially if you plan to pivot your build for tougher late-game encounters.
Why Respeccing Matters
Respeccing in Lies of P represents more than just a do-over; it’s a reward for perseverance. It allows players to experiment without restarting their journey and encourages creativity in combat. Whether you want to shift from a heavy Motivity powerhouse to a precise Technique duelist or completely overhaul your P-Organ setup, the system gives you the flexibility to evolve your puppet’s identity as you grow stronger.
