Lies of P | How do I unlock the Legion Arm?
P begins the game with the Left Arm of Steel equipped, a simple bludgeoning device. But you will acquire the Puppet String and Fulminis Legion Arms by playing through the campaign.

How do I upgrade Legion Arms?
In order to upgrade your Legion Arms you will need to find Legion Calibers, rare items usually dropped from minibosses or rewarded for solving puzzles and finding secret areas. Each stage of an upgrade requires more Calibers. You can respec your Legion Arm later in the game once you have finished Area VII.
And that’s how you unlock and upgrade the Legion Arm in Lies of P. Check out the full review here, and have a look at our other Lies of P guides below.
