Lies of P: Overture – Complete Shipwreck Platinum Trophy & Collectibles Guide ~ HaploGamingChef

Getting Started After the Boss Fight

Once you've wrapped up the intense boss battle, it's time to dive deeper into the Lies of P Overture DLC. From the Stargazer where you last saved, just continue heading forward. Some players report game crashes at this point (as mine did), so you may need to replay certain bits.

Right around the first bend, on the right-hand side, you'll find a hidden item. It’s an easy-to-miss collectible, so check that corner thoroughly. Once you’ve collected it, use the nearby elevator to progress.

Early Area: Grab All Quest Essentials

From this point, most items in the area are tied to ongoing quests—you can’t miss them. On the table below, you’ll find audio logs and documents. Scoop them all up and keep moving straight. You're now entering a section loaded with robotic tech, which makes one weapon tip especially useful…

Equip the Electric Grindstone

Because enemies here rely heavily on mechanical parts, you'll want to switch to the electric grindstone. Hit the Stargazer, open your gear menu, and set your grindstone element to electric. It'll help you break down the wave of puppets waiting ahead much more efficiently.

Make your way forward. Shortly after, you’ll find a chest opposite a cliff containing an Ancient Disc. But first, drop down into the back-left corner to grab another item before circling back to the chest.

Coastal Cave Combat and Loot Run

The next stretch leads into the Coastal Cave, a zone filled with lurking enemies. Take it slow—eliminate foes methodically. Once you clear out the cave, press ahead through the tunnel system.

Be wary of a stone-throwing enemy near the next open area. Take him down, collect dropped loot, and head to the bridge guarded by a larger puppet. He's tough, but doable. Defeat him to access another chest with a second Ancient Disc.

Upper Cliff Area and Hidden Collectibles

After grabbing that chest, backtrack and head down the main path—you'll soon come across some crates to the left. A robotic dog ambushes from this spot, so stay alert. For now, take the right-hand cliff route instead.

Defeat the guard enemy up top, then jump down onto a patrolling robot below for an instant death blow. You can also walk around the ledge to reach a small rocky ledge with another hidden item. Go through the side opening here and grab it before heading into the next cave section.

Find the Empty Bottle and Merchant

Keep exploring until you find an Empty Bottle—a required quest item. Then, activate the next Stargazer, and you’ll notice a merchant nearby. He offers key goods including:

A new Record
A Giant Amulet
Other minor upgrades

If you’re low on Ergo, sell what you can or use consumables to pick up at least the Record and Giant Amulet.

Tough Enemies, Progression Crank, and Frenzy Amulet+1

From the merchant, move toward the back-left corner. Fight off another mini-boss enemy and open the chest containing a Progression Crank. Head downward first, then loop back up to find a Frenzy Amulet +1. It restores HP on fatal blows—not a frequent event, but nice to have.

You’ll climb more stairs from here, leading to another group of fast-moving enemies. Handle them carefully, then grab the Acid Grinding Agent found in the next room.

Family Letter and Next Combat Challenge

After clearing the enemies, walk into the next room where a lone puppet stands. Take him down and loot the Family Letter found behind him—read it to get a bit of story flavor.

Continue through the next door and drop down into the lower section. On the ground below, you’ll pick up a Legion Magazine. Move forward and brace for a few more enemies to appear in sequence.

Avoiding Fish Ambushes and Picking Up Key Items

As you move along the narrow paths near the coast, watch out for fish that leap from the water. These can knock you into the icy water instantly, so be cautious—especially when balancing on beams or ledges.

Clear the next puppet enemy and loot the area near the crates for Gemini’s Iron Protection. Once done, head onto the boat up the ramp. There’s nothing else hidden here, so just proceed forward.

Upper vs. Lower Path – Always Start from the Top

Shortly ahead, the route splits. Take the upper path first, where you'll collect important correspondence. Climb the ladder and walk through a brief tunnel that eventually loops back around.

Inside the cave, you’ll find Fire Grinding Material—great for upcoming enemies weak to fire. Keep advancing, take out the scattered foes, and make use of sneak attacks when possible.

Break Enemy Defense with Special Attacks

When enemies begin blocking, use your special weapon move to shatter their guard. This breaks their sword and lets you punish them without resistance. After clearing this room, continue into the next cavern.

You’ll soon spot a Stargazer, but before using it, head slightly deeper and check a hidden section on the left. Open the chest to obtain a Legion Caliber, needed for Legion Arm upgrades.

Cave Mini-Boss and Multiple Loot Drops

Use the Stargazer to rest, then begin pushing deeper into the cave. You’ll face a mini-boss and several standard enemies, so play carefully. Make sure to:

Pick up the Glowing Ergo Crystal
Grab another Legion Magazine
Collect the Frost Resistance Ampoule

These items will help significantly in upcoming fights.

Meet the Mysterious NPC (Optional for Now)

Continue forward to encounter an unnamed NPC standing silently in the cave. He doesn’t trigger any trophies or quests yet, so feel free to leave him alone.

He might be relevant later in the story. If you figure out his purpose, drop a note in the comments. For now, just move past him and keep exploring the ship area.

Catalyst and Hidden Ampoule Pickup

Before you drop down, look near the edge for a Color Catalyst. It’s tucked in the corner beside a chest. Once grabbed, don’t immediately jump down—go back into the corner, and you’ll find a glowing Miraculous Enhancement Ampoule.

Now you’re set to safely drop and wrap around into the ship’s interior, completing the full loop of this area.

Now Take the Lower Route and Defeat the Guard

Return to the earlier path split and this time take the lower route. You’ll face another tough enemy blocking the way. Take him out, loot the body for a Star Fragment, and open the nearby safe to collect the Frozen Cipher Machine.

Be careful of fish ambushes again as you continue forward.

Unlock the Fisherman Side Quest

Cross the bridge and hit the next Stargazer—but don’t go straight into the ship just yet. Instead, turn left and follow a hidden path. Here, you’ll meet the Fisherman NPC, who gives you a new side quest to find him a cold beer.

Listen to all of his dialogue. This quest can be completed later, so just activate it now and return to the Stargazer.

Solving the Cipher Machine Puzzle

Now that you have the Frozen Cipher Machine, head back to the Stargazer and teleport to the Hotel Krat. Talk to the Tracker, who will decode the cipher for you.

Next, travel to the Ancient Ruins via the Excavation Site checkpoint. From the Stargazer, go left and descend the stairs (or use the ladder if rolling doesn’t work). A message should appear near the wall that was previously shaking.

Equip Thermite, then throw it at the glowing spot on the wall to blast open a hidden passage.

Discover the Special Link and Diary

Inside the newly revealed path, you’ll find a small diary labeled The Diary of the Special Link. It gives you some intriguing lore.

Once collected, use the Pocket Watch to return to the Hotel Stargazer. Deliver the diary to the Tracker, who’ll reward you with another Ancient Disc—great for disc collection progress.

Extra Rewards and Returning to the Fisherman Quest

Before returning to the Shipwreck area, you can swing by Claus at the hotel to redeem your Ancient Disc for the Veteran's Eye Patch, assuming you didn’t pick it up earlier.

You can also grab a beer for the Fisherman side quest, although it’s optional at this stage. The main path continues toward the boss, but the side story adds some flavor and a minor reward.

Final Preparations: Gear and Stargazer Check

Teleport back to the last Stargazer near the ship. Be sure your weapons are enchanted (electric or fire), and that you’re stocked on:

Throwables like Thermite or Sawblades
Healing Ampoules
Status resistance items

You’ll want to be fully prepared before triggering the final boss.

Do Not Enter the Ship Yet

Important tip: entering the ship immediately triggers the boss battle. Instead, revisit the area for anything missed—especially if you're working toward full collectible completion.

The ship is the point of no return for this DLC segment, so ensure your inventory is fully stocked and side quests are cleared or activated.

Boss Fight Ahead and Final Rewards

Once you’re confident, step into the ship to start the final boss encounter. This will be a lengthy and challenging fight, so consider watching a dedicated boss strategy guide if you're stuck.

After the battle, you’ll unlock several trophies, including:

Main DLC Completion
Ancient Disc Collector
Cipher Puzzle Solver
Any additional ones depending on your choices

Wrap-Up and What’s Next

At this stage, you’ve covered everything needed for 100% completion in the Shipwreck DLC:

All Ancient Discs
Every quest item
All major NPC interactions
The complete Cipher Machine storyline

You’re now ready to move on to the next part of the Lies of P: Overture content—or begin a replay for missed paths.
