Lies of P

To upgrade your P-Organ, you need Quartz which can be found throughout the game, and can be used by going to the chair in Geppetto's office to obtain skills. You'll need to unlock a certain number of large nodes before the next phase unlocks. There is a finite amount you can obtain, but you can obtain them again in New Game+, and also unlock an additional phase 6, and phase 7 in NG++.

None are missable, except the Quart from the Broken Puppet NPC who is next to the Barren Swamp Stargazer, if you don't have the Gestures, Clap, Sad, Anger, and Happy. Here's my other guide on where to find them! (You can come back after obtaining them)



The list was created by PowerPyx, but I have corrected some errors and included the missing Quartz from the original guide.

You can teleport to the listed nearest Stargazer to quickly find the Quartz. A few of them will need to be bought from Polendina’s shop at Hotel Krat after finding a Sturdy Krat Supply Box. Give them to Polendina and he will have new items to buy which include a Quart. (1 Quart for each box)

11/14/23 - Version 1.3.0.0 - In this new update, you can now obtain 3 more quartz! Increasing the number of Quartz you can obtain in a playthrough from 28 to 31!

"2 more Quartz can be purchased during the early stages of the game.
After expanding the shop for the 1st time, 1 additional 'Quartz' can be purchased. (Yes, 1 more Quartz.)"


There is a total of 31 Quartz that can be found! Make sure to obtain them again in New Game+!

Cerasani Alley

1. Dropped by the Parade Master boss. (Main Boss)

Krat City Hall

2. Dropped by the Scrapped Watchman. (Main Boss)

Workshop Union Entrance

3. Dropped by Puppet of the Future boss. At the stargazer, there is a path on the left side. In the end, you can drop down using the ladder. (Optional Boss)

Workshop Union Culvert

4. From the Stargazer, go through the tunnel with the rolling ball of fire and you will eventually come across the Red Fox and the Black Cat. Continue past them and head right when you come to the split with the big red pipe. You’ll eventually find a green door on your right you can unlock using the Trinity Key you can acquire by solving the King of Riddles’ riddle found shortly after Krat City Hall Courtyard. Enter the room and rip the safe open.

St. Frangelico Cathedral Chapel

5. After dropping the brazier that dispels the Decay at the bottom of the tower, continue on to find a cell doll you can open. Defeat the Elite enemy that drops into the room.

Inside the House on Elysion Boulevard

6. When you reach the top of the wooden tower at St. Frangelico Cathedral Chapel, kick down the brazier to dispel the Decay pool on the ground floor. Then, access the underground chamber and pick up the Crafted Cryptic Vessel. Head back to Hotel Krat and talk to Venigni to have him decrypt the Cryptic Vessel.

The first decryption leads to an assignment: you need to strike the puppet that hangs from the Alchemist Bridge on Elysion Boulevard. To do so, fast travel to Krat City Hall stargazer and walk back. Throw a sawtoothed wheel at the puppet to drop the second clue.

The second clue is Letter with the Refuge’s Address with a photo of the location you need to find. Head back to the Krat City Hall stargazer and teleport to Inside the House on Elysion Boulevard stargazer. Now leave the house and cross the beam. The correct door is on your immediate right before the puppets. Open the door and rip the safe open to obtain the Quartz.

Malum District

7. You’ll eventually reach a square with many enemies (has a large Elite enemy patrolling in a circle), with some Decay-throwing ones on the upper ledges. This Quartz is found in the chest inside the open building in the middle with the destructible crates blocking the way (you can also drop down from the hole in the roof).

Drop back down into the sewers and now at the fork take the pipe leading up and out.

10. Dropped by the Elite Mad Clown boss that is on the staircase to Estella Opera House. For an easier fight, run-pass all enemies on the way and the clown and activate the stargazer up the stairs just past the clown. Then you can aggro and only fight the boss. (Optional Boss)

To access it you need the Trinity Key obtained by solving the riddle that the King of Riddles’ riddle gives you at the Grand Exhibition Gallery gives you. Return here when you have it. The answer is Candle.

The Special Krat Supply Box can be found after near two fire-spitting puppets. After going through the house with the swordsmen and reaching the rooftop, continue down where a second fire-spitting puppet is. Continue past him to find the Supply Box in a chest.

Barren Swamp Bridge – Hermit’s Cave

19. Talk to Hugo by the gate behind the Stargazer. He will talk to you about how bad he wants to go through the gate. When he’s done talking, exhaust his dialogs to get the two items. You can now take the Cryptic Vessel back to Venigni at Hotel Krat. Once you’ve obtained the Special Krat Supply Box at Collapsed Workshop Tower later in the game (see below), hand it in at Polendina’s shop and buy Rusty Cryptic Vessel. Then, hand it in to Venigni and come back here. The gate will now be open. After dropping a second hole in a rooftop, you’ll find this in a chest.

20. At the very end of the cave, inside the safe.

Abandoned Apartment

26. While visiting Arche Abbey Broken Rift, you’ll get to an inner foggy area. After climbing up a ladder, you’ll be at a fork with a Harlequin elite on your left. Go straight on instead and then left where an enemy is protecting a chest containing this item. Now head back to Hotel Krat and hand the Cryptic Vessel to Venigni.

To solve this, head to Abandoned Apartment stargazer. Go up the stairs and leave the building. Cross the sign, but don’t go through the gate, instead flank the chasm and walk across the small piece of rock. Then, after the piece of rock, go right and left into the street. Climb the furthermost staircases. Equip the Frozen Feast weapon (bought in exchange of Reborn Champion’s Ergo dropped by Champion Victor main boss) and talk to the Wandering Merchant to get the Quartz.
