Lies of P How to Start Overture DLC

Lies of P: Overture DLC is a prequel to the main game. It is a paid DLC that needs to be purchased first, available for $29.99 / €29.99.

Step 1: Beat Corrupted Parade Master Boss in Main Game to obtain Star’s Chrysalis

To access the Overture DLC, you must have made significant progress in the main game. You must have completed Chapter 9 (Chapter IX) and defeated the boss “Corrupted Parade Master“. Once you’ve done that, you’ll receive a special item called the Star’s Chrysalis.

If you already made sufficient progress in the main game, you may automatically receive a notification when launching the game that the Star’s Chrysalis has been added to the inventory. If you don’t see this message, check whether you’ve actually finished Chapter 9 and defeated the required boss. If you’re playing in New Game+ and haven’t completed Chapter 9 again, you’ll need to replay up to that point to receive the item. The Star’s Chrysalis does not carry over into NG+ unless you’ve earned it again.

Step 2: Use a Stargazer to teleport to Chapter V – Path of the Pilgrim

Once you’ve obtained the Star’s Chrysalis, open a Stargazer and teleport to Chapter 5 (Chapter V) > Path of the Pilgrim. You’ll notice that the icon for this area has changed slightly, this signals that a new quest is available.

After you teleport, a cutscene will play where butterflies lead you toward the Stargazer. Don’t worry, you don’t have to walk there yourself, the game does this part automatically.

When the cutscene ends, you’ll see a prompt for the Lies of P: Overture DLC. Hold X (PS5) / X (XB) to start the new content.

You can return to your main storyline at any time while playing the DLC. However, keep in mind that if you defeat the final boss in the base game and go into the next playthrough, you’ll need to replay up to Chapter 9 again to access the DLC. The DLC can’t be replayed individually without also replaying the main game. To complicate things further, the DLC can only be 100% completed if you’re on a New Game+ playthrough of the main game, because 3 Gold Record Collectibles don’t spawn if you’re on the first New Game playthrough of the main game.
