In Lies of P, in addition to leveling up and improving your main attributes, P can also take advantage of Geppetto’s machine to improve the P-Organ, which is essentially his core. The P-Organ hosts many of P’s latent abilities, but they must be powered with a rare material called Quartz. If you’re looking to improve the P-Organ as much as possible, our Lies of P Quartz guide can show you all Quartz locations and how to use them.
What is Quartz and how to use it in Lies of P
Quartz is a rare and limited material that is used exclusively to power the group nodes in the P-Organ tree. Before you can modify the P-Organ in any way, you have to rescue Geppetto and have him move to Hotel Krat, which happens fairly early on in the story.

Go upstairs to the hotel’s second floor to find Geppetto’s office. There’s a glowing red chair near him, so sit in it to start tinkering with the P-Organ.
Here’s how it works: The P-Organ is made of different “phases”. Each phase contains four group nodes, and each node grants a permanent improvement to P, such as being able to hold more Pulse Cells, dodge more quickly, and so forth.
In order to unlock a group node’s ability, you have to insert two Quartz into the node to power it up. Whenever you add a Quartz, you also get to choose a side ability that grants a small improvement to your attributes.
Every time a group node is fully activated, the P-Organ continues to grow. Once you have activated enough group nodes, the next phase is unlocked, giving you access to even more powerful abilities. Additionally, you’ll unlock even more phases as you progress through the game.
It’s important to keep in mind that Quartz is a limited resource, and there is not enough in the whole game to activate every single group in the P-Organ, at least until new game+. On your first run through the game, you’ll need to pick and choose which groups to activate carefully.
