Red Fox – Lies Of P

Red Fox, formally known as Claudia Volfe, is a prominent Stalker NPC and an optional mini-boss in Lies of P. She travels through the dangerous city of Krat alongside her adopted brother, Black Cat, actively searching for a cure to heal his blindness. Players will initially encounter this character near the Workshop Union Culvert Stargazer, where the siblings offer their first interactions.

Your decisions regarding the siblings dictate the outcome of their questline, determining whether they become trusted allies or hostile enemies in the Arche Abbey. Completing her storyline without resorting to combat rewards players with exclusive cosmetic items, such as the Red Fox’s Mask, and unique gestures.

Red Fox

Red Fox’s real name is Claudia Volfe, a skilled warrior navigating the treacherous streets of Krat. As a Stalker, she has built a reputation for being agile, cunning, and fiercely protective of her younger adopted brother, the Black Cat. Her primary motivation throughout the game’s narrative is to find a miraculous cure for her brother’s worsening blindness, an affliction that continuously drives their actions and requests for help.

The character is shrouded in a mix of self-interest and genuine desperation, making her a morally grey figure in the game. Unlike mindless puppets or corrupted monsters, Red Fox is driven by human emotion and loyalty to her family. Throughout the story, she will ask the player for assistance, usually involving the trade of a rare resource, offering glimpses into her vulnerable side amidst a city consumed by madness.

Lies of P Red Fox Overview

Red Fox operates as a recurring NPC who shadows the player’s progress across various chapters. She is characterized by her distinctive animal-themed mask and her fast-paced combat style, should she turn hostile. Her relationship with the player is entirely transactional at first; she views P as a potential asset to help her brother.

Her storyline is intrinsically linked to the game’s Gold Coin Fruit mechanic. Players who wish to stay in her good graces must be willing to part with these valuable items whenever she or her brother requests them. Failing to meet her demands or choosing to antagonize the Black Cat will inevitably force a difficult confrontation with her late in the game.

Where to Find Red Fox in Lies of P

Red Fox appears in several key locations as you progress through the desolate city of Krat. Her encounters usually happen alongside her brother, presenting opportunities for dialogue, trade, and crucial story decisions.

• Workshop Union Culvert: This is the initial meeting point where you are introduced to Red Fox and the Black Cat, located conveniently near the area’s Stargazer.
• Malum District: She approaches the player here with a specific offer to team up, and your response will directly influence your relationship with her later on.
• Arche Abbey Upper Part – Internal Bridge: Located on the Isle of Alchemists, this serves as her final location where she will either stand as a friendly NPC or a hostile boss.

The storyline involving the Red Fox heavily depends on your willingness to cooperate and part with valuable resources. Throughout the campaign, the siblings will repeatedly request Gold Coin Fruit to treat the Black Cat’s worsening condition.

Conversely, if you refuse their requests or kill her brother, she will turn aggressive and force a difficult confrontation to avenge him. Resolving her questline peacefully allows you to bypass the fight and automatically rewards you with the Red Fox’s Mask and a unique gesture.
