Lies of P features a diverse cast of characters that you’ll encounter on your journey through Krat, and many of them act as merchants with valuable items to trade. Of all the merchant NPCs, none is more important than Alidoro, as he can trade special boss weapons to Pinnochio in exchange for bosses’ Rare Ergo.
You don’t meet Alidoro until Area IV, so it’s worth holding onto your Rare Ergo until then. Even so, Alidoro’s location isn’t immediately obvious, and it’s possible to miss him if you don’t notice the elevator to his area. If you’re looking for Alidoro in Lies of P, look no further, as this guide will tell you exactly where to find him.
Where to find Alidoro in Lies of P
Alidoro is in Area IV, St. Frangelico Cathedral. Progress through Moonlight town and the Path of Misery in Area IV until you reach St. Frangelico Cathedral Chapel. Enter the chapel and descend into the hole in the large room behind the stargazer. Proceed through this area until you reach the St. Frangelico Cathedral Library stargazer.
Head through the stone passage to the left of the stargazer and turn right at the end. Go straight through the room with holes in the ground (watching out for the slimes that drop down from above) and up the spiral staircase at the end. Continue down the hall and over the bridge, then down the spiral staircase at the end until you get to a room with steps leading into a poison pool.
Carefully kill the enemies here by kiting them out of the poison, then prepare to sprint through. Run straight through the poison pool and through the next room until you a get to a staircase leading upward and out of the poison. At the top of the staircase is a room with an elite carcass enemy, so get ready to fight, or run straight for the elevator to clear enemy aggro.
Ascend the elevator and you’ll emerge on a balcony above the cathedral overlooking Krat. Alidoro is by the edge of the balcony.
Speak to Alidoro to trade Rare Ergo for special weapons
Alidoro will ask whether you know anywhere safe. You can either send him to Hotel Krat or Venigni Works. You should send him to Hotel Krat, as Venigni Works is still teeming with puppets. He’ll move there after you beat the Area IV boss.
Whichever way you answer, you’ll be able to trade your Rare Ergo here to him for a variety of boss weapons and amulets. After your encounter in St. Frangelico Cathedral, if you told Alidoro to go to Hotel Krat, he’ll appear on the far side of Antonia’s room. He periodically disappears when you reach certain milestones in the story, so make sure to trade with him whenever you have the opportunity.
Alidoro’s inventory will expand as you progress through the game, and new items will appear to trade for your Rare Ergo. Most boss weapons scale with Motivity and Technique, so Advance builds are mostly stuck with the amulets—but you can always consume the Rare Ergo instead if Alidoro doesn’t have anything that suits your fancy.
Should you kill or spare Alidoro in Lies of P?
After you’ve finished Chapter IX, you’ll be able to return to a besieged Hotel Krat. One character who helped your enemies in this endeavor is none other than Alidoro. Once the attack has finished, you’ll be able to walk up to and speak with Alidoro. He won’t make any moves to attack you, but as you exhaust your dialogue with him you’ll see that you have two options: sparing him or killing him.
Sparing Alidoro
If you decide to spare Alidoro, nothing happens. He remains where he is, and you’ll be able to purchase things from him as always. Sadly, you aren’t rewarded for choosing the moral high ground and allowing the traitorous jerk to live.
Killing Alidoro
Deciding to attack and end Alidoro’s miserable life comes with plenty of benefits. For starters, you’ll receive a bit of humanity and a sense of righteous satisfaction for avenging your friends and the attack on Hotel Krat. If you previously completed the Alidoro and Eugenie quest from Chapter VII, you’ll also receive the Alidoro Cryptic Vessel.
If you take the Alidoro Cryptic Vessel to Eugenie after having Pulcinella analyze it, you’ll have some unique dialogue with Eugenie that reveals a lot of background information about Alidoro. The Alidoro you killed was an imposter who murdered the real Alidoro and assumed his identity. Just another reason to take comfort in the fact that you’ve put the foul character down. Of course, this revelation might shake most fans that have come to enjoy the sight of doggish Alidoro through their travels.
After you’ve traveled a bit more and/or rested at a Stargazer, you’ll be able to speak a bit more with Eugenie and finish her story in Lies of P.
Can you still buy Alidoro’s weapons?
Based on what you get from sparing or killing Alidoro, it’s obvious that killing him is far more beneficial. However, you might be concerned about whether or not you’ll lose access to the wares that Alidoro once sold. Luckily, the Lies of P developers thought ahead.
After killing Alidoro, you’ll find his previous pal Hugo selling Alidoro’s wares in the exact same spot where they were previously sold in Hotel Krat. Same items, same prices, and, best of all, no Alidoro in sight.
