How to Find Every Record in Lies of P and Max Your Humanity

Records in Lies of P represent more than just a collection of Belle Époque melodies. They serve as a vital mechanic for players aiming to unlock the game’s true ending, "Rise of P." Each time a record is played from start to finish at the Hotel Krat gramophone, the protagonist gains Humanity, a hidden stat that determines his evolution from a puppet into a human. Collecting all 16 base records also grants the "Golden Melody" trophy, a badge of honor for completionists.

Navigating the rain-slicked streets of Krat to find these vinyls requires a mix of keen exploration, specific NPC quest progression, and occasionally, the willingness to tell a convincing lie. This guide details the acquisition of every record, including those exclusive to New Game Plus and the latest content updates available as of 2026.

The Mechanics of Music and Humanity

In the world of Krat, music acts as a bridge between cold logic and human emotion. When you acquire a record, it appears in your inventory as a collectible, but its real value is realized only at the Hotel Krat gramophone.

It is important to note that humanity points are only awarded the first time a record is played in a specific playthrough. You must let the track play until the very end; skipping or stopping the music early will not trigger the "Your springs are reacting" or "You feel warmth" messages. Furthermore, some records are mutually exclusive, meaning a single playthrough cannot net you the entire collection. Planning your interactions with NPCs like Eugénie and Alidoro is essential for a 100% completion rate.

Base Game Records: Initial Playthrough Locations

The following records can be found during your first run, though some are tied to binary choices in side quests.

1. Feel

One of the earliest records available, "Feel" is tied to the Weeping Woman quest in Elysion Boulevard. After defeating the Mad Donkey and meeting Geppetto, you will find a woman behind a window near the Inside the House on Elysion Boulevard Stargazer. She asks you to find her baby.

Return the "Broken Baby Puppet" (found in the area guarded by a large police puppet) to her. To obtain the record, you must choose to lie and tell her, "She’s a cute baby." If you tell the truth, you will miss this opportunity. This track is a haunting introduction to the game's melancholic tone.

2. Divine Service

In the St. Frangelico Cathedral Library, you will encounter Sister Cecile. She requests the Holy Mark, which can be found in the library's upper levels. After delivering the item to her, you must progress and defeat the boss, Fallen Archbishop Andreus.

Instead of moving immediately to the next area, return to Cecile’s spot. She will have succumbed to the petrification disease, leaving behind a letter and the record "Divine Service." Failing to give her the Holy Mark before the boss fight will lock you out of this reward.

3. Someday

This is one of the more straightforward acquisitions. Once you reach the Malum District, proceed through the village until you reach the Red Lobster Inn. Inside, you will find a Wandering Merchant near a ladder leading back to the Stargazer. He sells "Someday" for a small amount of Ergo. It is highly recommended to buy this immediately, as merchants in later chapters can be more difficult to backtrack to.

4. Fascination

This record is tied to Adelina the Actress in the Estella Opera House. Before fighting the King of Puppets, you must find Adelina in a side room and give her a Bright Red Apple. The apple can be purchased from Polendina at the Hotel Krat after expanding his shop with a Krat Supply Box.

After defeating the King of Puppets, return to Adelina’s room. You will find her dead on the stage, and the record "Fascination" will be available for pickup. If you do not give her the apple before the boss fight, the record will not appear.

5. Quixotic

Following the defeat of Champion Victor in the Grand Exhibition, you will encounter the Red Fox and Black Cat near the tram. They will ask for a Gold Coin Fruit to help treat the Black Cat’s blindness. Giving them the fruit rewards you with "Quixotic." If you refuse, you may miss this record, as their questline branches differently.

6. Why

This record involves Belle, an NPC found in the Grand Exhibition. Talk to her on the upper rafters before fighting Champion Victor. Later, she will move to Hotel Krat. After defeating Corrupted Parade Master, she will ask you to find her partner, Atkinson, in the Krat Central Station.

Locate Atkinson in a train car; he has turned into a monster but remains non-hostile. Take his letter back to Belle. To get the record, you must lie and say, "He was killed in action fighting a puppet." Telling the truth will result in Belle's heartbreak and the loss of the record.

7. Misty E’ra

This record is hidden behind a puzzle. You must obtain the Rusty Cryptic Vessel from a chest in the Arche Abbey and have Venigni decrypt it. This opens up the Hermit’s Cave near the Barren Swamp Bridge Stargazer. Navigate to the end of this cave and defeat the elite shield-wielding enemy to find "Misty E’ra" in a safe. This area is optional but crucial for lore enthusiasts.

8. Far East Princess / Proposal, Flower, Wolf Part 1

These two records are mutually exclusive in a single run, as they depend on how you conclude Eugénie’s questline regarding the real Alidoro.

After defeating the Black Rabbit Brotherhood for the second time, you will find the real Alidoro. You must kill him to obtain his Cryptic Vessel. Have Venigni decrypt it and read the contents. When you speak to Eugénie, you have two choices:

• To get "Far East Princess": Lie and tell her he was just a talented workshop technician.
• To get "Proposal, Flower, Wolf Part 1": Tell the truth that he was her brother.

Note: For the latter, you must have read the decrypted vessel fully before talking to her. You will need a second playthrough to collect whichever one you missed.

9. Memory of Beach

This record is tied to Antonia’s fate. After Champion Victor, speak to Polendina about a cure for the Petrification Disease. Obtain the cure from Giangio (requiring a Gold Coin Fruit) and instruct Polendina to administer it to Antonia.

After defeating Laxasia the Complete, return to Hotel Krat. Antonia will have passed away peacefully in her bed, and the record "Memory of Beach" will be waiting on Geppetto’s desk. If you do not administer the cure, she dies in pain, and the record may not be obtainable in the same manner.

10. Shadow Flower

After defeating Laxasia the Complete, you will find Sophia in her true form in the next room. You are given a choice: "Give her peace" or "Let her live."

Choosing "Give her peace" (the mercy kill) is generally the preferred path for the True Ending and rewards you with the record "Shadow Flower" immediately. This is a pivotal moment for Humanity points.

New Game Plus (NG+) Exclusive Records

To complete the "Golden Melody" achievement, you must enter New Game Plus. Five "Golden" versions of existing records are sold by various merchants, and they are unique tracks, not just duplicates.

• Proposal, Flower, Wolf Part 1 (Golden): Sold by the Wandering Merchant in Cerasani Alley (before the first boss).
• Quixotic (Golden): Sold by the Wandering Merchant inside the house on Elysion Boulevard.
• Shadow Flower (Golden): Sold by the Wandering Merchant in the Lorenzini Arcade.
• Memory of Beach (Golden): Sold by the Wandering Merchant in the Abandoned Apartment area of Krat Central Station.
• Fascination (Golden): This is the trickiest one. You must complete Test Subject 826’s questline in the Arche Abbey. After defeating the final boss of the area, find him at the Rosa Isabelle Street bridge (overlooking the fires). He will sell you this golden record.

DLC and Overture Update Records

With the expansion of the Lies of P universe, new records have been added to the game's library. These tracks do not count toward the original "Golden Melody" trophy but are essential for reaching maximum Humanity levels in later patches.

Lis Rim (Original and Gold)

Added in the Overture update, these records reflect the journey of the Survivor. The standard version is found in the Workshop Union area, hidden behind a breakable wall near the pipes where the fireballs roll. The Golden version is available in NG+ from the merchant near the Barren Swamp entrance.

Nightmare and The Clear Blue Sky

These tracks are often included in the Deluxe editions or as rewards for community events within the game. "The Clear Blue Sky" is automatically added to the gramophone inventory for players who have reached the Hotel Krat in the updated 2026 version of the game. "Nightmare" is found in the Relic of Trismegistus area, inside a chest guarded by a group of mutated carcasses.

Crucial Tips for Completionists

The "Golden Lie" Weapon Connection

While not a record itself, the "Golden Lie" staff is the ultimate proof of a successful record collection. If you have listened to every record and told enough lies, the portrait of the boy in Geppetto’s office will grow a long wooden nose. Eventually, you can interact with it to pull out the weapon. If the nose isn't long enough, you likely missed a record or told too many truths.

Backtracking and Missables

Several records are highly missable. The most common mistakes include:

• Killing a boss before finishing an NPC’s dialogue (Cecile/Adelina).
• Choosing the "Truth" option when a "Lie" is required for a record reward.
• Forgetting to kill Alidoro. Many players hesitate to kill NPCs, but Alidoro’s death is required for the most complex record branch in the game.

Listening in Real-Time

There is no way to fast-forward records. To gain the Humanity points, you must stay within the Hotel Krat. This is a good time to upgrade your P-Organ, refine your weapons with Eugénie, or adjust your Legion Arms with Venigni. The music will stop if you teleport away or enter a loading screen.

Summary of the Record Checklist

Collecting every record in Lies of P is a journey through the heart of Krat’s tragedy. From the upbeat but deceptive "Someday" to the heartbreaking "Shadow Flower," these tracks provide the emotional weight that defines the soulslike experience. By following these steps, you ensure that P’s journey toward humanity is as melodic as it is perilous.
