Souls-like games love punishing commitment. Every level-up, every upgrade, every new weapon feels permanent — and in Lies of P, that’s true for a long time. But eventually, the game gives you a second chance. You can respec your stats, rework your P-Organ setup, and even adjust your Legion Arm loadout to experiment with new builds or fix early-game mistakes. Here’s everything you need to know about how respecs work, when they unlock, and how much they cost.
When You Can Respec in Lies of P
You won’t be able to reassign your stats right away. Lies of P waits until you’ve proven yourself deep into the story before letting you reshape your build. To unlock the respec feature, you’ll need to reach Chapter VII and complete the Grand Exhibition area.
[How To Respec In Lies of P]
After defeating the zone’s boss, you’ll earn a key that opens a locked garden door behind the exhibition. Inside, you’ll discover the Saintess of Mercy Statue — the heart of Lies of P’s respec system. Once activated, it allows you to adjust your Ergo stat levels, P-Organ modules, and Legion Arm upgrades.
Until this point, every decision you’ve made — whether you invested heavily in Motivity, Technique, or Capacity — is locked in. So plan to stick with your chosen style for the first half of the game.
How to Respec: Step-by-Step
Before you can respec, you need a special currency: Gold Coin Fruits. These aren’t random drops or shop items — they grow on the mysterious Gold Coin Fruit Tree located at Hotel Krat.
Here’s the process:
- Find the Gold Coin Fruit Tree. You’ll encounter it after completing the Malum District in Chapter V. From Hotel Krat’s main hall, take the stairs up to the courtyard to see the tree.
- Wait for fruits to grow. The tree produces Gold Coin Fruits on a timer. You can visit regularly to harvest them.
- Stock up. Each respec consumes a certain number of Gold Coin Fruits, and the cost increases each time you do it.
- Visit the Saintess of Mercy Statue. Once unlocked in Chapter VII, interact with the statue to begin the respec process.
- Choose what to reset. You can redistribute Ergo levels, re-assign P-Organ upgrades, and reset Legion Arm modifications.
Because each reset grows more expensive, think carefully before switching playstyles too often.
Should You Respec?
Respeccing in Lies of P isn’t just about undoing mistakes — it’s about experimenting. Maybe you started as a heavy Motivity brawler but want to try a faster Technique build. Or perhaps you’ve unlocked a new Legion Arm that changes how you fight.
Respecs let you explore new strategies without restarting your save. Still, Gold Coin Fruits are limited, and their regeneration rate is slow, so don’t treat respecs like candy. The smarter move is to plan your build direction ahead and use your resets for major transitions — for example, when a new weapon type or P-Organ combo changes your combat flow entirely.
Tips for Managing Gold Coin Fruits
Since these fruits are your only ticket to respec freedom, it pays to manage them wisely.
- Visit Hotel Krat often. The tree generates fruits in real time, even when you’re away.
- Don’t waste them early. You can’t use them for respecs until Chapter VII anyway, so let the tree stockpile them.
- Use your first respec for experimentation. Test different stat spreads and P-Organ setups before committing again.
If you’re methodical, you’ll always have enough fruits when it truly matters — especially toward the late-game bosses that demand perfect synergy between your stats and weapons.
Final Thoughts
Lies of P strikes a satisfying balance between punishment and freedom. You can’t freely reallocate points like in an RPG sandbox, but once you earn that privilege, it feels earned. The respec system respects your time while rewarding patience, letting you adapt your puppet’s build without undermining the challenge that defines the Souls-like experience.
Whether you want to rebuild your character from scratch or just tweak your P-Organ setup, now you know exactly how to do it — and why it’s worth waiting for.
