Does Lies of P have multiplayer or co-op? Life’s tough when you’re a sentient puppet with a penchant for lying, made even tougher when you’re pitted against hordes of automatons that have received the classic FromSoftware treatment from developers Round8 Studio.

Does Lies of P have multiplayer?

Lies of P does not have multiplayer or co-op and Round8 Studio has given no indication that we can expect this to be implemented in the future. However, you can summon an AI helper if you’re stuck.

This may come as a disappointment if you tend to rely on your pals to help you through difficult encounters in other Souls-like games. However, if you’re desperately in need of a helping hand while facing off against Lies of P bosses, you can spend a Star Fragment at the magic basin outside the boss room to awaken a Specter. This AI helper that can deal supplemental damage and draw aggro on the battlefield. While it won’t be as effective as a real player, it’ll certainly afford you some breathing room to heal or reposition yourself if needed.

With no chance of Lies of P multiplayer or a separate co-op mode on the cards, you only have yourself to rely on while you’re exploring the streets of Krat.
