While Lies of P might, on the surface, look like it's perfectly emulated the Soulslike style of combat, there's actually a lot more to it than most players would expect. For example, unless someone was actively following every bit of info that came out while Lies of P was in development, no one knew just how robust the Legion Arm system was going to be.
Along that same line of thought, the amount of useful Usable Items in Lies of P is also quite staggering (and they drop pretty often). So, let's go over all the Throwable Items, in particular, that players can use in this game.
Every Throwable Item In Lies Of P
Throwable Items in Soulslike games actually have a lot of variety in how they work. In some of the earlier games, throwables didn't scale with anything at all and just did a set amount of damage based on the enemy's resistances. But nowadays, most throwables actually scale with the player's stat allocation, and Lies of P is another example of this.
Usable Items that can be thrown are typically purchased from NPC merchants. Additionally, specific enemies have higher chances of dropping different Usable Items on death.
While it's unclear quite yet if a full throwable run is possible in Lies of P like it was in Elden Ring, these items have a lot more use in combat than what players probably expected. Plus, given the amount of replayability the game already has, a 'thrown items only' playthrough would have to come after trying out all the handle and blade combinations. Regardless, based on the type of puppet a player is building, there are certain throwables that are much better to use than others. So, here are all the usable items that can be thrown in Lies of P, as well as their damage scaling based on Motivity (Strength), Technique (Dexterity), and Advance (Intelligence):

Chain | B | B | N/A | Sometimes, simple is most effective. | AoE item that deals strike damage in an area around the player. |
Acid Canister | D | D | B | The Krat Disaster drastically increased the Workshop's battle experience.

Enemies take Acid Damage while standing in acid. |
Fire Canister | D | D | B | The Krat Disaster drastically increased the Workshop's battle experience.

Enemies take constant fire damage while in said fire. |
Electric Blitz Canister | D | D | B | The Krat Disaster drastically increased the Workshop's battle experience. They produced a steady flow of combat intentions, and some of these disappeared into the hands of black marketeers. | Creates an area of electricity where it lands. Enemies will take Shock/Electric Blitz Damage when standing in the electricity. |
Sharp Pipe | D | B | N/A | Some throwable weapons boast great destructive power on their own. When combined with the strength of puppets, nothing more needs to be said. | A throwing weapon that pierces the enemy and deals piercing damage on-hit. |
Saw Blade | C | C | N/A | Some throwable weapons boast great destructive power on their own. When combined with the strength of puppets, nothing more needs to be said. | A throwing weapon that deals continuous slashing damage when it hits an enemy. |
Shot Put | B | B | N/A | Some throwable weapons boast great destructive power on their own. When combined with the strength of puppets, nothing more needs to be said. | Any enemy hit by this will take a large amount of Strike Damage, which usually puts them in a Staggered state. |
Cluster Grenade | C | C | N/A | Some throwable weapons boast great destructive power on their own. When combined with the strength of puppets, nothing more needs to be said. | A grenade that explodes into smaller explosives, deals continuous strike damage on anyone inside the area of effect. |
After looking at the table above, players can see that items like the Canisters are better for Advance builds and items like the Shot Put, Chain, and Sharp Pipe are great for Technique builds. Again, this just adds another layer of replayability to even the thrown items builds that players could try in Lies of P.
Lies of P is available now on PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
