In Lies of P, players encounter numerous non-playable characters whose fates rest entirely on choices made throughout the narrative. Among these figures is Alidoro, the mysterious hound-masked merchant who trades rare boss Ergo for powerful special weapons and unique amulets. Understanding his backstory and knowing when or why to attack Alidoro is a major turning point for players managing side quests and humanity points.
Who Is Alidoro in Lies of P
Alidoro first appears as an enigmatic stalker who claims to collect valuable boss Ergo in exchange for rare equipment. Players initially invite him to Hotel Krat or Venigni Works, where he functions as a crucial merchant. As the campaign progresses, subtle narrative clues suggest that his true identity and motivations are far more sinister than they initially seem.
The Dark Secret Behind Alidoro's Identity
Lategame revelations disclose that the man wearing the hound mask is actually an impostor named Far East Stalker Paracelsus' accomplice or fraud who murdered the original, honorable Alidoro. The true Alidoro was the lost brother of Eugenie, the skilled weaponsmith residing at Hotel Krat. The impostor manipulated events, betrayed the residents of Hotel Krat to the Black Rabbit Brotherhood, and stole the original stalker's identity.
Should You Attack Alidoro at the Relic of Trismegistus
After confronting Alidoro near the Relic of Trismegistus following the second Black Rabbit Brotherhood encounter, players receive a critical prompt to attack or spare him. Choosing to attack Alidoro eliminates the traitor instantly and rewards the player with Alidoro's Cryptic Vessel, an essential lore item. Players seeking full narrative closure for Eugenie and specific achievements should choose to strike him down during this confrontation.
Consequences of Killing Alidoro
Eliminating Alidoro does not lock players out of acquiring special boss equipment for the remainder of the playthrough. Shortly after his death, Hugo the explorer moves into Hotel Krat and takes over Alidoro's merchant duties. Furthermore, decrypting his vessel unlocks vital dialogue options with Eugenie, granting significant humanity points required for secret endings.
