Salao the Old Fisherman presents one of the most touching choices in the Lies of P: Overture DLC. While progressing through his quest, you’re faced with a decision: lie to comfort him or tell him the harsh truth. This guide breaks down both choices, their outcomes, and what they reveal about Salao’s story.

Lie (everyone was impressed with your catch)
You’ll get two dialogue choices: “Everyone in the village is dead” or “Everyone was impressed with your catch.” If you choose the second option, Salao will proudly say he caught the fish to teach Manoline a life lesson.
After the conversation, Salao will pass away, and you’ll receive the Fisherman’s Weathered Key.
Explore the Fisherman’s hut
You can go to Salao’s house near the Krat Lighthouse and use the Fisherman’s Weathered Key to enter. Inside, you’ll find the Old Fisherman’s Letter resting on his bed.
Tell the truth (everyone in the village is dead)
You can choose to tell him the truth—that everyone in the village is dead. He falls silent and says, “Is that so? May the poor boy and the villagers rest in peace.” You won’t receive Fisherman’s Weathered Key.
