Lies of P Overture – Step-by-Step Gesture Unlocks and Trophy Tips ~ HaploGamingChef

Introduction: Step-by-Step Gesture Unlocks and Trophy Tips

Unlocking all eight gestures in the Lies of P Overture DLC is key to earning the Be Human trophy, a must-have for completionists. This guide breaks down exactly where to find each gesture, how to unlock them, and what to expect along the way. Whether you’re chasing 100% completion or just trying to experience all the unique interactions the DLC has to offer, this walkthrough will ensure you don’t miss a single gesture.

We’ll walk you through each location in order of appearance, including small tips to help you collect items or progress in side objectives as you go.

Let’s dive in.

Gesture 1: Play Dead – Hall of Adventurers

As you step into the Hall of Adventurers, you’ll unlock the first gesture: Play Dead. Once inside, activate the nearby Stargazer to unlock your checkpoint. Behind the large mammoth statue in this area, you’ll spot a document labeled Wild Animals Spot Bears. Pick it up and make sure to read through it entirely to obtain the gesture.

After unlocking it, feel free to test it. When used around bears, they’ll ignore you entirely—one of the more interesting mechanics in the Lies of P DLC.

Gesture 2: Step Dance – Carnival Garden Booth Area

The second gesture, Step Dance, is located in the Carnival Garden. Here, you’ll interact with the booth mini-game areas. These booths allow you to throw items like gears at moving figures. Successfully hitting all targets gives you a reward and opens access to hidden collectibles.

To get the gesture, head to the first booth. Once done, turn around to find a small corpse holding a Carnival Coin. Collect the coin, then proceed into the building where you’ll find a vending machine. Insert the coin, and the machine plays a tune—granting you the Step Dance gesture.

Don’t forget to grab the document in the back of the same room for extra lore.

Gesture 3: Tap Dance – End of Carnival Garden

You’ll get the Tap Dance gesture near the end of the Carnival Garden. As you approach the carousel area, look toward the back-right corner for another Carnival Coin. Use it in the tent near the Mysterious Merchant.

After activating the machine inside the tent, perform the Tap Dance using your inventory. Doing so impresses a clown NPC nearby, triggering a short cutscene. Upon completion, you’ll receive the Cheering gesture as a bonus reward.

Gesture 4: Doubt – Ancient Ruins Excavation Site

In the Ancient Ruins Excavation Site, progress through the level until you reach a Stargazer and an unlocked door. If you’ve explored this area already, you might recall a robot NPC nearby. If not, follow the main route until you find a ladder leading down—head left at the bottom.

Once at the robot, exhaust all available dialogue options. After completing the conversation, you’ll be rewarded with the Doubt gesture. This one is easy to miss, so make sure to interact thoroughly with the robot before moving on.

While you're here, you can also interact with a cipher machine puzzle near the wall to earn extra collectibles.

Gesture 5: Heart – Pistre’s Harbor

At Pistre’s Harbor, you’ll meet Rossora for the second time. She’ll appear visibly tired, and here’s where you can help her by giving her some Ergo. While the guide suggests handing over a Magnificent Ergo Chunk, a smaller item like an Eternitygo Crystal works just as well.

After giving her the Ergo, she thanks you and unlocks the Heart gesture. This scene strengthens her story arc while helping you progress toward the Be Human trophy.

Tip: You can always revisit Rossora later in the DLC if you miss this interaction.

Gesture 6: Correspondence – Shipwreck Area

In the icy Shipwreck section, you’ll find another gesture. After crossing the first beam and entering the wrecked ship, defeat the enemies and locate a split path—one goes down, the other up. Choose the upper route.

Near the top, you’ll see a note titled Correspondence From Overseas. Read it in full to unlock the Correspondence gesture. Make sure not to skip this, as the gesture won’t be granted unless the entire document is reviewed.

Gesture 7: Freeze to Death – Ice Combat Zon

This gesture is unique because it’s tied to how you die rather than something you pick up. To unlock the Freeze to Death gesture, you need to intentionally die from frost damage.

Find an enemy that deals heavy ice damage—preferably one that emits a frost cloud. Let it lower your health, then remain in the frost zone until you succumb to the freeze effect. It’s crucial that the frost status is what causes your death, not regular attacks.

Once you respawn, the gesture will automatically be added to your inventory.

Gesture 8: Look Into the Distance – Gradle Lighthouse

The final gesture is found at the Gradle Lighthouse, located at the top of the structure. Begin your climb by walking up the internal staircase, collecting any materials along the way.

At the summit, a short cutscene will trigger. When it ends, the Look Into the Distance gesture is unlocked. This one is straightforward and cannot be missed as long as you explore the full area.

While here, you can also continue Rossora’s questline, and grab a beer bottle item that’s tied to another quest objective.

Post-DLC Tip: Use the Gestures in the Main Game

After collecting all eight gestures, you’ll unlock the Be Human trophy. However, there’s still one more secret worth exploring. Return to the Baron Swamp in the base game and revisit the broken robot doll. Originally, you could show her gestures to get some dialogue—now, you can repeat this with the new DLC gestures.

Doing so provides additional dialogue and a few bonus items, making it a nice epilogue for those aiming for full immersion and 100% completion.

Conclusion

Collecting all gestures in Lies of P Overture is a rewarding side quest for players aiming to unlock the Be Human trophy. From playful animations to lore-filled moments, each gesture ties into the world in meaningful ways. By following this guide, you’ll efficiently unlock all eight without missing hidden interactions or optional events. Don’t forget to revisit earlier areas like the Baron Swamp for extra dialogue and item rewards once your gesture list is complete.

This guide ensures you get everything needed to wrap up the DLC content and fully experience the human side of your journey through Krat.
