The final cipher ofLies of P: Overture, the Frosted Cipher, is the most difficult of the puzzles to solve. However, those who want to find all the clues about the truth behind the Alchemists and receive the special Sherlock Holmes outfit must take on and complete this final challenge.
Although you’ll get the cipher early, you’ll have to hold onto it for a while before you’ll be able to unlock the location the cipher leads to. In fact, opening the cipher at all will require you to get your hands dirty as, this time, Alidoro won’t be able to help you.
Where To Find The Frosted Cipher
The Frosted Cipher Machine is locatedat the end of the Frozen Coast area. It is right before the Ship Exterior Stargazer, but reaching it from that Stargazer is impossible as it is on the other side of the drop-off.
Guarded by a strong enemywho bursts out of the hull of a dilapidated ship, you’ll have tofight for your rightto access the cipher’s location.
Once the enemy is defeated, you cantake the Frosted Cipheras a rewardfrom the nearby vaultnext to the drop-off to the Ship Exterior Stargazer.
You cannot take this Frosted Cipher to Alidoro, the Tracker, at Eventide Hotel Krat just yet. He does not have the key to open it.
Rather, the key is inside the coat jacket ofLumacchio’s Golden Snail Attire. Afterdefeating Lumacchio,talk to Alidoroto open the Frosted Cipher.
How To Solve The Frosted Cipher’s Hint: The Lighthouse
The Frosted Cipher will direct you toinspect the Lighthouse. If you’ve only defeated Lumacchio by the time you unlock it, that means you’ll have toprogress even further into the DLC.
The Lighthouse is locatedon the other side of the Fishing Village, past the entire Ship Interior subarea.
You should pick upSalao, the Old Fisherman’s questand at leastone Black Rabbit Hole Keybefore continuing as both quests will finish at the Lighthouse as well.
At the Lighthouse,go downstairsto discovera pressure platethat states weight has an effect on it. There aretwo ways to use the pressure plate:
If you do not already have the Giant’s Amulet, you canpurchase it from the Wandering Merchant on the Frozen Coastnear the Stargazer.
You do not need a lot of Ergo to purchase it. In fact, it istypically between 100-300 Ergo,making it the cheapest amulet you may purchase in the game.
Once the pressure plate is pressed, the door will open, and you shouldpick up the Lighthouse Keeper’s journal. Make sure youread it.
Return to the real Alidoroto give him the journal. As a thank you for both completing this cipher and the other ciphers, he will give you theFamed Detective’s Attire.
