Lies of P: Walkthrough: V. Malum District

Kill the dog, go around the trap and pick up the Special Purification Ampoule . Kill the enemies and go up the hill with graves on the left to examine the overgrown device. Go back and activate the Stargazer “Pilgrim’s Path”. Look behind the boxes nearby for Gemini First Aid . Go down below, kill the enemies and find the Moonstone of Darkness behind the box . Go down and first go right. You will see a red chest, but there is an enemy hanging on top. After killing him, open the chest to get the handle and blade of the Crystal Acid Spear .

Go the other way, pick up a Dull Ergo Shard and  a Saw Blade , then go down and destroy the huge mutated bear, which will drop a Star Shard . Go down under the stone bridge from the landscape, kill the enemies. Along the way, collect a canister with an incendiary mixture , a chain and a Bright Ergo Shard . Follow down to the pond, where a purple Dimensional Butterfly will appear. It will drop a Waning Protocol Moonstone for pumping up a special weapon. At the other end of the pond is a Legion clip , and at the beginning is a Dark Moonstone .

Entrance to the Cemetery Slums

Go to the extinct settlement, kill the enemies. One of them will be more powerful than the others, but it will drop a star fragment. In the far room on the right, in addition to the enemy, there is an ampoule of attribute resistance , and behind the wall to the left after the entrance is a dull ergo fragment . Go to the roofs, kill the enemies and pick up the “Wanted: Brotherhood of the Black Rabbit” poster from the edge of the beam. If you go down, a huge monster will appear that will knock down the gate. After defeating it, you will receive the key to the shack in the slums . In the center, there is also a corpse with  a sharpened stick . Use the key to open the door of the nearest house, kill two enemies and pick up an improved acid converter from “Belford” from the chest . The path beyond the gate, from where the monster ran, leads to the Lame Bridge. As you understand, it is not necessary to kill the monster – you can just run away from it.

On the other hand, at the end of the roofs you just walked on, you can jump through a hole into a room with a corpse. Pick up the Fire Abrasive . There is a hint scratched on the table that the treasure can be found even in the shack. Open the door, in the next room there is an elevator. Ride up to find a note “Slum Dweller’s Scribbles” and open the door, creating a shortcut to the beginning of the location.

Lame Bridge

Go to the Lame Bridge, from the side of which a menacing mutant with a key to the shack ran. Cross the bridge and jump onto the boards on the right to find a bright ergo shard . Under the bridge there is a saw blade and a ladder leading back up. Kill the huge monster that will appear from behind the bars, after which you will receive a chain and a star shard . Go to the fortress territory, find a note “Scavenger Squad Archives” dedicated to Fox near the corpse on the right . Run up the steps and find a Legion Clip behind the boxes . Enter the tower, climb the stairs and look for a special purification ampoule behind a narrow beam .

Start going down. A little lower, look for a ledge with  a dim ergo shard . To avoid damage, you will have to go down gradually, including along narrow beams. Then activate the Stargazer “Malum District”.

Malum District

The Red Fox and the Black Cat are standing nearby.

Red Fox and Black Cat – what to do with them?

Their quest chain stretches throughout the entire game. The first meeting at the Venigni factory will not solve anything, but it is worth agreeing to their help here, so that later there will be an opportunity to avoid the battle in the last chapter and make friends with the characters. Otherwise, it is unlikely that you will be able to make friends, and you will have to kill the Fox and the Cat separately to move on (in Chapter 11).

Agree to their help or not, move along the narrow streets of the Malum district, killing enemies. In the niche from which the dog will burst out, look for a Bright Ergo Shard . Defeat the huge enemy inside the tavern to get a Star Shard . Behind the barrel on the right is a Cluster Bomb , which deals crushing damage to all enemies in the radius of the effect. If you try to go to the room on the right, you will fall into a hole in the floor (the floor will collapse), and you can find a red chest with  a malfunction cartridge from the “Ark” . Near the stairs there is a poster “Try La Blayvis, the most magnificent wine in the world!” Climb up and open the door to return to the main rooms. Pick up a Sharpened Pipe and  a Bright Ergo Shard .

Go up the stairs and go outside. This is where the Cat and the Fox will stop (that’s what they originally intended). Enter the building, pick up the Immobility Handle (to change the handle) and go down. Take the chain , go outside and defeat the huge mutant. It will drop the Patience Amulet , which increases the speed of stamina recovery. In the building ahead there is an enemy and a red chest with  quartz . If you turn right, you will find a dog and  a sparkling ergo shard . To the left of the building with the chest, if you break the barrels, you can find another dog and  a special resistance ampoule .

Go to the alley to the right of the building with the chest. Turn right and pick up the Shining Ergo Shard , but a monster will appear behind you. There is a ladder to the left. Go up and a Dimensional Butterfly will appear, which will drop the Mobility Crank for the Blade Handle. Go down the roof to the left to find a Dark Moonstone where you met the dog. In the far left corner of these roofs, behind the monster that throws acids, there is a Bone Carver Saw Blade and Handle (new weapon) . Take your time and search all the roofs for supplies.

Continue down the alley behind the building with the chest, a dog will escape from the cage. Turn to the camera on the right to find the Gemini Steel Guard . Answer the Riddler’s phone call:

When I’m young, I’m tall and proud. But when I’m old, I’m a modest little thing. What am I?

Answer: Candle.

You will receive the Triune Key , which will allow you to open the door in the Cathedral of San Frangelico (read in a separate guide). Go down and open the large gate to create a shortcut to the courtyard where you fought the monster. Go back up the stairs, jump onto the wooden platform near the building, collect the cannonball and  the dull ergo shard . The cannonball is another throwing item. The cannonball attack can stun any enemy!

There’s a Bright Ergo Shard behind the building on the right , and a Dark Moonstone near the stairs . Once you’re up, turn right and grab a Glowing Ergo Shard . Go further and kill the enemies. There’s an Attribute Cleansing Ampoule behind the cage on the right . Go up the steps and back to find a Dull Ergo Shard on the edge . You’ll soon meet a member of the Black Rabbit Brotherhood. There’s a Red Lobster tavern on the right, but you’ll go left to grab a Sickle Moonstone . Once you’re up, you can find a Legend Catalyst .

Enter the Red Lobster, kill the enemies. The big guy will drop an attribute cleansing ampoule and a star shard . Another shard is near the stairs you came down here. In the corner on the right, look for a star shard and a special cleansing ampoule . On the left is a sparkling ergo shard . Climb a couple of steps and find the same one on the left. Enter the room ahead, on the couch on the left look for the “Guide to the House of Monad Mercy” . Also open the door to create a shortcut to the stargazer.

Boss Elder of the Black Rabbit Brotherhood

Move to the second floor, to the end of the street and you will find the entrance to the boss. Activate the fountain with a star fragment and go further. You will meet four members of the Brotherhood of the Black Rabbit at once! The fight against this boss can cause a lot of problems, since most of the time you will have to fight against two or three enemies. In the early stages of the fight, when the boss’s health is above 75%, you will only face the Elder of the Brotherhood. Block his attacks, since there is a high probability that his weapon will break. Thanks to this, the range of his attacks and the damage inflicted will decrease, defeating him will be much easier.

He can jump high into the air and then slam the ground for a straight attack. When he starts to fall, perform a perfect block. If the Elder raises his weapon high into the air while on the ground, he will quickly swing his sword four times in a row. The fourth swing is a furious attack that is slightly slower than the previous ones. Once you memorize the timing and speed of the attacks, you can easily block them and cause stuns. If the Elder starts a horizontal attack by lifting one leg, he will attack five times in a row. The first three attacks will be done in a row, and the fourth will have a slight delay. Perform a perfect block on the first three attacks, wait a bit, and quickly block the last two.

When the boss’s health drops below 75%, the younger brother will appear – this enemy fights with two swords. He is very agile and fast, moreover, his third attack often throws Pi into the air, but the damage he does is quite small. Let him attack and wait for him to jump into the air and fall down or when he rushes towards you and misses. After that, come from behind and perform a deadly attack. First of all, destroy the enemies that appear as reinforcements. If you move away from the boss, he will practically not participate in the fight. From time to time, he will perform an attack that ends with a swing of the weapon. Before this, he usually shouts – turn off the target lock to look around and understand from which side the Elder is attacking.

The second member of the Brotherhood wields a spear and will appear when the main boss’s health drops to about 60%. This enemy is the easiest to chase away (defeat) because almost all of his attacks are linear. You can provoke him into attacking by standing far away. Then sneak up from behind and perform the killing blow. While he’s on the ground, use a heavy charged attack.

Finally, when the Elder has about 40% health left, the last of the Brotherhood will appear. This is the most durable enemy, wielding a sword. He performs fast strikes. It is worth approaching him from the side or blocking the last attack to get behind him and perform a deadly attack.

After defeating each member of the Brotherhood, only the main boss, the Elder, will remain. No one will be able to bother you anymore. The enemy will retain the same set of moves.

For winning the battle, you will receive the Taunt gesture , a sparkling ergo shard , and  10,180 ergo . As the battle progresses, other members of the brotherhood will join the Elder, but as soon as their health runs out, they will disappear. In general, the battle will end immediately as soon as you deal a fatal blow to the Elder, whose scale you can see at the bottom of the screen.

Malum District Government

Activate the nearby Stargazer, enter the hideout and read the Ledger of the Brotherhood of the Black Rabbit lying on the table . In the room on the left side there is a painting of a boy. Its nose will grow larger as you lie. Behind the counter in the main hall look for a chest with  quartz . After going up the stairs, you can find the newspaper “Fashionable this month: Guardsmen masks” . And in the far room of the second floor there is an elevator that you should use. Talk to Janjo, who will tell you about the money tree at the exhibition. Pick the first fruit of the money tree. This currency will allow you to buy wishing stones and star shards from Janjo. The fruits grow once every 10 minutes, but you can speed up the process with special fertilizers.
