Where To Find The Booster Glaive

November 1, 2024

The Booster Glaive in Lies of P is a weapon that a lot of players are huge fans of. The Booster Glaive Blade is incredibly useful and has a lot of reach, and the Booster Glaive Handle has a fantastic moveset and even more reach. So, you’ll want to obtain this weapon even if you don’t plan on using it just in case you want to swap your handle or blade with the Booster Glaive version at any point.

To find it in Lies of P, you’ll first need to reach the Puppet Workshop that Lorenzini Venigni is trapped within. For reference, this is the area just after the Mad Donkey fight. Once you reach this area at the Workshop Union Culvert Stargazer, you be able to quickly find the Booster Glaive nearby with relative ease.

Updated November 1st, 2024 by Jacob Buchalter: There are quite a few weapons to choose from in Lies of P, and your choice of weapon will often vastly impact how you approach combat overall. On top of all that, you also have the option to swap your blade and handle out at any time, creating an absurd number of different weapon combinations. However, you’ll find that a lot of people end up relying on either the blade or the handle of the Booster Glaive for the main weapon, and there’s a reason for that. The Booster Glaive is just an incredibly solid option in Lies of P, so let’s go over where exactly you can find it, the best way to get it, and its overall stats.

Both Methods Of Obtaining The Booster Glaive

Both The Faster & Safer Method, Explained

Before going into exactly where the Booster Glaive is found, it’s worth mentioning that there are two ‘ways’ to go about obtaining it:

Method #	Method	Explanation
1	Tunnel Vision	Essentially this method is just doing a ‘death run’ where you’ll run straight to the chest containing the Booster Glaive while attempting to not get killed by the multitude of enemies you’ll aggro while running.
2	Exploration	This is for the slower and more methodical players and involves exploring Venigni’s Workshop in-depth until you find the level that drains the Corruption Fluid from the area holding both the Puppet of the Future and the chest with the Booster Glaive inside.

The Booster Glaive is in a chest at the end of a long drainage ditch-esque area near the Workshop Union Culvert Stargazer. This Channel is guarded by a giant ‘Puppet of the Future’ and has ankle-high Corruption-inflicting fluid all throughout it.

The intended pathway you’re ‘supposed’ to take to get the Booster Glaive is to explore the Workshop until you find the method of draining this Corruption fluid and then go back for the chest with the Booster Glaive inside. Then, after beating the Puppet of the Future, you’re meant to actually open the chest and obtain the Glaive.

However, it’s a lot quicker (and easier) to just eat/deal with the Corruption DoT, run past the Puppet of the Future without fighting it, and open the Booster Glaive chest before the Puppet catches up to you. This will likely result in your death from either the Puppet of the Future or from the constant damage ticks due to Corruption, but by that point, you’ll already have the Booster Glaive so what does it matter?

How To Drain The Corruption Fluid

The intended method for getting the Booster Glaive involves naturally progressing through the Workshop until you stumble upon the level that, when pulled, drains the channel of all Corruption.

However, this switch is a bit out of the way of the path to the boss itself, meaning a lot of us didn’t naturally stumble across it. So, let’s go over exactly where you can find it, step by step:

Step	Description
1	From the Workshop Union Culvert Stargazer, progress through the factory like normal until you reach a long hallway with flaming spheres of defunct puppets continuously rolling down it.
2	Progress down this hallway, avoiding the flaming spheres by hugging the open areas even now and then on the left or right. Progress forward until you reach a point where a puppet breaks through a nearby wall on the righthand side.
3	Go forward through this newly opened pathway until you come back around to an outside area with a stairway to your immediate right. Ignore this stairway (which leads to the boss of this area and a Stargazer) and instead head to the left.
4	Follow the hallway leading back inside the Workshop area and progress through this new area involving some large red pipes, some broken puppets, and one of those terrifying robotic guardians with the shovels (let’s call them ‘Shovel Guardians’)
5	Head into the large red pipe area and progress forward. Once you encounter the Shovel Guardian, you’ll know the lever is within reach.
6	Either fight or run past the Shovel Guardian, open the shortcut door on the left, and activate the lever on the console that should be directly ahead of you

After all this is done, your screen should shake for a bit before stopping, letting them know the Corruption fluid has now been drained. Now, you can head back up those stairs from earlier, and follow that forward path to find a lever that drops a pipe down, creating a shortcut to the Workshop Union Culvert Stargazer.

Booster Glaive Stats

Lies of P - Booster Glaive In Stats Scren

For those of you who want to see if the Booster Glaive is even worth grabbing in the first place, here are the overall stats of both the Handle and the Blade:

Blade Type	Durability	Weight	Attack Type	Motivity	Technique	Advance	Damage Reduction While Guarding	Fable Art (Blade)	Fable Art (Handle)
Greatsword	110	16.2	Moderate Slashing Damage	D	B	N/A	61.71	Storm Slash	Patient Slash

The fact that this weapon has a D in Motivity and a B in Technique is pretty unique, as it’s a Greatsword that seems to prefer Dexterity over Strength.

That said, this scaling is based on the Handle, so if you want a version of this weapon for a Strength build, just slap the Blade onto a Motivity-scaling Handle or use a Motivity Crank on the Glaive handle.

Booster Glaive Verdict

Is it Really That Good?

As for a final verdict on the Booster Glaive: All around this thing is an absolutely fantastic weapon. And, to avoid any confusion, here’s why:

Despite its Greatsword-type Blade, the handle makes this thing heavily Technique-focused, which is great for ‘dexterity’ builds.
A quick handle swap or Crank addition can tailor the handle to whatever you need.
The attack pattern of the handle is also quite nice, as it’s simple and repetitive.
The Charged Heavy Attack is by far its most interesting feature, as it has a booster-blasted forward momentum attack that can help you close the distance incredibly quickly.
The Blade itself is also great, as it’s better than the default Greatsword blade while also looking a bit more ‘natural’ when combined with most of the other handles.

All-in-all, the Booster Glaive is one of the best weapons for you to pick up as soon as possible, and in the right hands, it can trivialize a lot of the game’s early difficult moments.
