So close to the nose weapon please help....

[BiggestMoisture]

So I've beaten the main story and cancelled for NG+. I prayed at the statue, completed every side mission and lied as much as I thought I could. The nose on the painting literally has a golden tip a few inches out and I'm so damn close to getting the weapon I'd think. I want to 100% the game but that would suck if I had to go into NG++ just to lie my way through again and look up a guide (I'm doing NG+ for a full truth run). Any tips on anything else I could possibly do to get that weapon before I go into NG+?

have you listened to all of the records at the grammaphone?

I chose not to give Antonia the antidote so I am missing 1 for NG. I hope that alone didn't screw me. I'll try listening to them all again. I think there were some I didn't listen to in their entirety.

Assuming you chose to give Sophia peace + you have seen the 'your heart is pounding' prompt? Your hair did not turn grey? You mention having completed every side mission but I will list some just in case:

-Listen to the King of Puppets' recording that Venigni gives you on the decoder
-Use entreat gesture in front of St. Frangelico chapel (according to Fextralife)
-Teaching emotions to the puppet in the barren swamp
-Listen to all records until the end as others suggested
-I *think* playing piano perfectly (shining golden) may contribute to humanity

In my OG playthrough: I accidentally told the truth three times by following incorrect guides/my own errors (lacking the option to give Stalkers greeting with the Atoned, telling Polendina 'I have', telling Simon Manus 'Monsters') and the Golden Lie was still obtainable. Did all riddles correctly. I missed Eugenie's record (Proposal, Flower, Wolf Pt 1) because I lied about Alidoro but listened to every other record until completion.

All I do is just lie and talk to people usually.
Then got the golden stick.
And is a 1st play through without any guide

Did all riddles correctly. I missed Eugenie's record (Proposal, Flower, Wolf Pt 1) because I lied about Alidoro but listened to every other record until completion.

I told Simon he was creating monsters and I initially told Alidoro to go to Hotel Krat instead of lying to them. I also told the weapon chick the truth about Alidoro and the main vendor in Hotel Krat about puppets showing love (the wedding ring). I think I misunderstood the becoming human thing as being compassionate and showing feelings more than literally JUST lying no matter what.

As for what TafferKnight said, I gave Sophia peace and I told Simon that I gave her peace instead of lying, saying that I liberated her, but my hair did turn gray, I could pick up the cat and pet it, I did the gestures both for the statue and the puppet, listened to all records twice just in case, and did the piano after the final boss, I even got the ending where Your father steps in the way of the Nameless Puppet's attack, sacrificing himself for you and calling you his "son." I heard my heart beating so I thought maybe that was the "prompt" the guides said lol. Went back to the hotel after credits and still nothing.

I read that for the "Free From the Puppet String" ending you only need to NOT give Sophia peace, and refuse at the end and you still get the achievement, and if you did everything else you'll be fine to get the weapon. So I'm already going on NG+
