Lies of P P-Organ and Quartz, Explained

Having various ways to create the best version of your own hero is always a good thing, and Lies of P definitely provides players with this option. Beyond the normal leveling and stats to upgrade, there is also the additional layer of strategic enhancement through the P-Organ system. For those who wish to learn more about the P-Organ, Quartz, and how they work together in Lies of P, read on and find out more.

Lies of P P-Organ: What it Does and How to Use it

Available starting from Chapter 2 of Lies of P, the P-Organ is essentially what allows the main character to be more than just a puppet. It allows players to activate various latent abilities that can drastically transform how the game plays, and it is always a good idea to check out what other upgrades are available via the P-Organ when the time comes.

What Quartz Does

Now, the P-Organ requires much more than normal Ergo to power it up. Only the rare resource Quartz can be used to activate an effect, which is broken down into attack, survival, ability, and item types. Quartz must be used in each specific slot of the P-Organ, and depending on the phases of upgrades, more effects need to be activated before an upgrade is granted.

Quartz can be found in several places, most notably via defeating elite enemies and bosses. Alternatively, it can be found in treasure chests that are usually hidden away on side paths. As long as players explore levels thoroughly and take on all comers, there will be enough Quartz to unlock most Phases for the P-Organ.
