In Lies of P, players frequently encounter mysterious items that tie directly into optional character side quests and rich world lore. One notable recollection item is the Small Wooden Officer Puppet, a key item related to a sick boy named Toma. Understanding where to obtain this item and how to properly use it ensures you do not miss out on completing one of Chapter 2's most touching storylines.
How to Find the Small Wooden Officer Puppet
The Small Wooden Officer Puppet is automatically rewarded after defeating the major boss in Chapter 2, known as the Scrapped Watchman. This intense encounter takes place inside the Krat City Hall Courtyard. Once you defeat the boss, the puppet will automatically enter your inventory under the Recollections section.
It is important to remember that you should speak with Toma at his window near the Elysion Boulevard shortcut before fighting the boss. Speaking to him activates his questline, which centers around his missing friend, Murphy. The Scrapped Watchman was once the friendly officer puppet known as Murphy who guarded and played with the local children.
Completing Toma's Side Quest in Chapter 2
After acquiring the item, inspect the bench inside the Scrapped Watchman's boss arena to collect the Faded Whistle. With both the whistle and the wooden officer toy in hand, travel back to the Inside the House on Elysion Boulevard Stargazer. Fast-traveling makes it quick to return to Toma's window on the lower street level.
Stand directly outside Toma's window, open your bag, navigate to your quest items, and blow the Faded Whistle. Hearing the sound of his old friend's whistle comforts the sick child and successfully concludes the quest. This completion rewards you with valuable Ergo materials and advances your overall character journey.
Lore Significance of the Wooden Toy
The Small Wooden Officer Puppet serves as a poignant reminder of the tragic events that unfolded in Krat before the puppet frenzy. Crafted by hand and painted with care, the toy represents the fond memories children held for the gentle police puppet. Even after Murphy was corrupted into a dangerous boss, the children's affection for him remained preserved in this simple wooden carving.
Interacting with these side stories enriches the narrative depth of Lies of P while offering tangible rewards. Taking the time to locate items like the officer puppet allows players to experience the subtle storytelling hidden throughout Krat's dark alleyways.
