Lies of P includes numerous progression systems to help make your build stronger. You can focus on improving your weapons, upgrading the Legion Arm, or leveling your character to bolster their health, stamina, defenses, and weapon damage. But the issue is that these systems require the same resource: Ergo. You need to spend Ergo wisely and effectively, but it helps when you learn how to level up fast in Lies of P!

Where to Get Ergo
As you slay enemies throughout the game, they drop Ergo. For a trash mob, like the usual puppet dogs or police officers, you will only receive a small handful. Say, around 30 Ergo in total. It’s certainly not enough to pay for an upgrade or level up at Hotel Krat. But as you start learning enemy spawn positions and work to farm an area, you can score big.
For example, in the first area, Krat Central Station Plaza, upon waking up in the train car, I farmed the enemies multiple times to reach level 20 before ever tackling Parade Master. Sure, it was somewhat of a grind, but it helped me to learn the mechanics and become stronger before the first boss fight.
In the early game, the only real threat you face comes in the form of ranged mobs, which fire rifles or shotguns at you. These hit hard, so keep an eye on them. But if you’re in the middle of combat with melee mobs, it’s tough to watch the enemy in the background. As such, you’ll want to deal with any ranged puppets first.
Form a Route
Once more, using Krat Central Station Plaza as an example, if you form a route to clear enemies, you’ll find yourself raking in up to 2000 Ergo for your troubles. That’s not including any Ergo Fragments you loot when slaying foes.
If you start at Krat Central Station Plaza Stargazer, the first Stargazer you restore, then work your way through the area to the second Stargazer near the Wandering Merchant, just before Parade Master, you’ll run into tens of enemies to farm. Hit this Stargazer, then work your way back. Every run is between 1600-2000 Ergo, and this early in the game, it takes less than 1,000 Ergo to level up in Lies of P.
