Just beat blasphemous 2, all in all I had a great time. I found it easier than the first one. I think the dualsword is the best weapon for bossing and the censor is the best weapon for clearing random trash monsters. Total playtime was about 11hours with 98% of the map explored. I have no idea where the last 2% even could be.

So I still need to beat the first game. I know that they added a bunch of stuff but is there anything I should specifically do other than get the standard endings?

Are there known bugs around item drops? I’m finding I can’t complete the lullaby quest or max my rosary slots even with 100% map completion and walkthroughs.

I just finished it as well, loved everything except the next-to-last boss being orders of magnitude more difficult than anything else in the game. I want to go back to Blasphemous 1 since I never finished all the DLC, but I feel like it's going to be hard to go back to the insta-kill spikes.

Not that I know of since I have all the rosary slots. The lullaby quest is being a pain in the rear end and I know the Sigil of the Twisted One puzzle is gonna be impossible without a guide.

ZeeBoi posted:Woof, suddenly difficulty goes up a notch as I get to Two Moons The last zones difficulty spike had me looking up a guide to make sure I wasn't doing the platforming wrong. There was one jump that honestly took me 10 attempts and I breezed through the rest of the game. The second to last boss I found the most difficult in the game, but I just rushed him down with the dual swords. He died extremely fast once I got the dodge rhythm down

I gotta say one thing I expected a different outcome from an NPC quest was the sculptor. Now, I haven't beaten the final boss yet, but so far I haven't found anything more about him (except when his daughter replaces him) and I totally expected that this thing will get a dark turn, the statue will start bleeding or something and he'll go crazy (well he was already blind) but he just ... disappears and the daughter says he needs a rest. And the statue is completely fine too.

Edit: Well now I'm upset. I finished the questline for lullaby and it gives the Tiento to your Thorned Hairs which grants invincibility for a limited time...which would have been REALLY nice for that one boss. doomrider7 fucked around with this message at 09:08 on Aug 30, 2023 |

Finished the game as well. 19h 42 minutes game time, 94% completion. I'm missing quite a few altar pieces still, found all the cherubs and got the "secret" ending, which was.... a scarf blowing in the wind in a cutscene that lasted for 2 seconds? and also finished the map. Had to do some comparing for the last % but then I noticed a huge chunk in an area which also included the other upgrade for the dualing swords. Whoops. Probably shows how much I used those, even if they'd be good with appropriate buffs. All in all had a lot of fun, it was a bit easier and less unforgiving than the first one, more streamlined like I said. I really liked the various upgrade systems, they can be modified according to your playstyle. I agree that some weirdness from the first one was lost, and some bosses could've used a bit of work, but there were some excellent ones as well, like the mentioned fencing lady and the elevator boss which I also liked a lot. Music was once again excellent. Sure, liked the pixel art cutscenes better, but there were so few of them altogether that it didn't really bother me, seeing how excellent the actual game graphics were.

Does it still have the NG+ challenge playthrus? Blasphemous 1 had fun stuff like "fervor passively regenerates but your melee damage is halved" so you could do an all-prayers playthru.

Beat the game some hours ago. Legit curious why everyone seems kind of down on the endings since both are very different from one another with different lore implications. I need to look at it entirely, but I like that the True Ending has everyone that's helped The Penitent One through his journey got to go "upstairs" including some of the sainted figures from the games lore like Tentudia, Socorro, and Engracia.

I went with the "secret" ending offering the incense and had look the other one up. I guess I can still get it myself since I can keep playing after the end? But that one definitely seems like a bad ending, whereas in the secret one you are not participating in the rebirth of the Miracle or whatever but instead ascend to sainthood with all your friends you made along the way and the Miracle can gently caress it, I guess - that was my take on it anyway.

there isn’t really a secret ending so much as a good one and a bad one. if you don’t take steps to make the incarnate devotion reject the miracle then it surges back to dominate Cvstodia, which the first game made clear is pretty much terrible all around

Unless they decide to retcon it, that's basically the True Ending right there that I mentioned.

That's where I found one. Another hard to find one was in a far side of one of the elevators or the tall rooms of the Basilica(ghost tower with evil paintings).

I was missing three in the end and one was on the right hand side where you climb to the Elevated temple from the starting city. It's a bit off-screen and I didn't even notice it during the first time I went there.

Found those cherubs, now the last thing I have is to get all the altarpiece statues. I think my game is bugged though, the only one I don’t have is Trifon and the Forlorn Patio shop guy says he has nothing left to sell. Am I missing something?

Am I missing something? trifon is a secret in the old manor zone. There's two old people sitting at a table eating dinner, one of them did be dead. You need to give something to the woman and she'll give you an item you trade for trifon.

Is it possible to fully upgrade all weapons in a single playthrough? I finished it today, but still haven't unlocked all of Sarmiento y Centella's upgrades. I'm bummed I didn't get any unlockables after the end.

The figure 8 puzzle is gonna be the hardest though.

So I'm at Sindo, the many faces boss and I'm like man this is a slog, I better go look around for upgrades. In the process of this I found out there's a menu where you can upgrade your weapons, imagine my shock! I thought getting the upgrade statues just made them better, didn't know there was more to it. Enjoying the game, my review is "The best DS Castlevania". I don't know if that's because I've played it mostly on the deck but those are the vibes I get.

I am playing through the first game and I am confused; I thought the third ending was locked behind NG+, but I was able to access Perpetva's Grave and get the item from there. I want to see all three endings but I am seeing conflicting things about if they are possible to do in one playthrough.

No, you can do the new ending on a regular new game, the stuff that mandates you being on new game + are The Amanecidas, a sidequest centered around 5 optional bosses that don't spawn on a fresh game, and they're hard/fun as gently caress.
