In the dark world of Krat, players exploring the atmospheric streets of Lies of P will occasionally encounter ringing public telephones. These mysterious calls originate from Arlecchino, an enigmatic figure known as the King of Riddles who challenges players with clever logic puzzles. Successfully solving these riddles grants valuable keys that open hidden doors containing rare equipment, cosmetic outfits, and upgrade materials.
Locating the Phone Booths and Solving the Riddles
Throughout Pinocchio's journey, five specific ringing payphones can be discovered near key landmarks across various chapters. The first riddle is encountered near the Krat City Hall Courtyard bridge, where the answer to the classic query about human development is Human. Later in the Malum District, the answer to the query regarding something tall when young and short when old is Candle.
As players reach the Grand Exhibition Gallery, they must answer Egg to the puzzle about what cannot be used before it breaks. In Chapter IX along Krat Central Station Street, answering Ergo correctly grants immediate progression toward the next reward. Finally, at the Relic of Trismegistus entrance, answering either Yes or No allows players to obtain the final essential item.
Unlocking Trinity Sanctums for Rare Loot
Each correct response provided to Arlecchino yields a Trinity Key or a clue leading directly to one. Players can take these keys to locked Trinity Sanctum doors hidden within areas like the Workshop Union, St. Frangelico Cathedral, and Estella Opera House. Behind these ornate doors lie protective amulets, unique costumes, and valuable Quartz used to enhance your P-Organ abilities.
The Grand Exhibition riddle adds an environmental twist by requiring players to adjust two nearby statues so their arms point inward before revealing the key. If a player happens to answer a riddle incorrectly, the King of Riddles provides an alternative quest involving a red apple to ensure keys remain obtainable.
Reaching Arlecchino and Claiming Final Rewards
Solving the ultimate phone riddle provides The Chosen One's Trinity Key, which opens the final Trinity Sanctum located deep within the Arche Abbey Outer Wall. Inside this hidden chamber, players finally meet Arlecchino face to face for a dramatic conversation about humanity and puppet existence.
Interacting with the King of Riddles in this sanctuary rewards players with the Alchemist's Cape outfit and additional Quartz. Completing this quest line not only unlocks powerful endgame gear but also provides vital lore explanations behind the tragic history of Krat.
