Lies of P is a challenging Souls game that resembles Sekiro as it is less focused on dodging and relies more upon blocking and parrying attacks; as such, some of the encounters you will face during this game can be pretty brutal. Thankfully, items called Wishstones will make your adventure easier due to their powerful effects.

While many Wishstones can be beneficial depending on your playstyle, the ones featured in this list are the best if you want to increase your success at beating that boss fight that has you stuck. Increase your odds by having great support tools to help the rest of your gear shine.
6 Flame Wishstone
Fire is the best element when fighting enemies that are not puppets, particularly those infected. Granting fire attacks to your Specter allows them to deal more damage over time, which can benefit weak foes to fire and those bosses with a large heal pool. As an additional effect, the Flame Wishtone also reduces damage received, making for a nice bonus to consider when using it.
If you run a build that relies on fire, such as using the Flamberge Legion Arm, having your Specter imbued with the Flame Wishstone can make it so you can inflict overburn status on your enemies faster and more reliably. One of the first demanding bosses, The Fallen Archbishop Andreus, becomes more manageable to defeat when using fire as it diminishes his large health pool while you deal weapon damage.
5 Lighting Wishstone
Puppets are weak to electro damage, and due to that, the Lighting Wishtone can be a valuable tool to have. Imbuing your weapon with the element while giving it to your Specter can go a long way into demolishing bosses quickly, as long as they are puppets vulnerable to electro. Like the Flame Wishtone, the Lighting Wishtone also reduces damage received, making these stones more versatile and valuable as they are not just plain damage.
Some bosses can destroy the Specter fast, so in those scenarios, it can be ideal to add more damage to the mix before they are defeated. The Lighting Wishstone can also be helpful if you prefer the Specter to inflict electro on foes. At the same time, you manage another task, such as repairing your weapon, going for stagger attacks, or perfect blocking to inflict the groggy status.
4 Indomitable Wishtone
The Indomitable Wishtone can be a beast of a Wishtone, as it makes it so the Specter avoids death while recovering HP. However, remember that this Wishstone can be challenging to use due to its timing, as using it too late will make it so that your Specter doesn't survive the attack.
The Wishstone can make it so that you gain valuable time if the boss is focused on your ally, as you can concentrate on other attacks or adds that need to be taken care of during specific vital encounters. However, you should explore other Wishstones if the Indomitable Wishstone proves too tricky to use.
3 Recovery Wishstone
The ability to gradually recover HP over time has become a staple in many Souls games, as it allows you to save your vials while enjoying a regeneration effect that helps a lot. In that regard, the Recovery Wishtone is an excellent tool, as you can focus on the fight without stopping to recover, which can be helpful when going for that stagger.

Sometimes, bosses can be about to be staggered, only for you to find out that you are low on HP and have no choice but to stop your attack to recover. However, with this Wishstone, you can continue your onslaught of attacks and get that boss right where you want it: staggered and about to take tremendous damage.
2 Protection Wishtone
If you would rather have a tanky assistant to assist you in bosses, the Protection Wishstone is what you need. This powerful stone makes it so that the Specter takes less damage and increases the resistance to all elements. It can be a fantastic stone when facing off against bosses that love using fire or other elements.
In fights with massive AOE's or powerful attacks, the Protection Wishstone can be a better choice than other Wishstones that focus on keeping your ally alive as they negate a substantial amount of the damage. If you find your Specter dying to a specific element or boss skill, consider using the Protection Wishstone to keep them around in the fight.
1 Friendship Wishstone
Friendship is beautiful, so what better Wishtone than the Friendship Wishstone? Its effect will temporarily recover the Specter's HP, which can be incredibly helpful. The most problematic boss fights in Lies of P tend to have multiple phases, so it is essential to recover the Specter's health so that they can hang around in the fight.
Having one of the Friendship Wishstones allows the Specter to be helpful during the second phase. Your Specter can keep grabbing the boss's attention, enabling you to act free of consequence and get some damage with no real danger. If there is a boss fight you cannot beat, try using this powerful Wishstone to make the encounter more manageable. Consider getting the upgrade of the P-Organ in the third tier to carry more Wishstones and highlight the potential of this particular stone.
