Lies of P Belle Quest Walkthrough and Choices
Uncovering the deeply personal stories scattered throughout Krat provides players with rare rewards and vital world-building details in Lies of P. Among these optional narratives, the questline belonging to Belle, an outsider soldier investigating the tragic Puppet Frenzy, stands out as a highly missable encounter. Successfully completing her mission requires careful exploration during Chapter 7 and navigating a crucial moral choice that directly affects your Humanity score.
Finding Belle in the Grand Exhibition
Players can first encounter Belle while exploring the upper levels of the Grand Exhibition Gallery. To locate her, you must navigate across the high metal scaffolding and catwalks near the top of the pavilion. Look closely for a secluded ladder that drops down into an isolated platform where she is currently hiding from the rampaging automatons.
Speaking with Belle reveals her background as an external investigator who has become completely trapped by the violence engulfing the city. You must clear the local area and defeat the main boss of the exhibition, Champion Victor, to safely progress her story. Once the boss lies defeated, return to Hotel Krat to find that she has successfully relocated to the main lobby area near the central staircase.
Investigating the Station for Atkinson
After reaching Chapter 9 and returning to the devastated Krat Central Station, you should speak with Belle again at the hotel to officially begin her personal favor. She explains that her trusted partner, a fellow soldier named Atkinson, was separated from her during the chaos and remains missing. She tasks Pinocchio with searching the train platform area to discover his ultimate fate.
As you explore the corrupted corridors of Krat Central Station, you will eventually find a hidden alcove near the primary tracks where a mutated figure resides. This creature turns out to be Atkinson himself, who has tragically succumbed to the Petrification Disease but still retains a shred of sanity. Before he loses his mind entirely, he hands you a personal letter meant for Belle and begs you to hide the monstrous truth from her.
Navigating the Ultimate Choice and Rewards
Returning to Hotel Krat triggers the final phase of the questline where you must choose how to report your findings to Belle. She will ask you directly whether her partner survived the incident or if he turned into a monster. This moment serves as an important narrative fork that alters your rewards and overall progression toward specific game endings.
If you choose to lie and tell her that Atkinson died bravely fighting as a human soldier, you will receive a massive boost to your total Humanity points. Furthermore, Belle will reward you with a special collectible record titled Why, which can be played back at the gramophone to further elevate your human characteristics. Choosing to tell the harsh truth will cause her to despair, locking you out of these valuable narrative benefits.
