In other news, there have been a few questions regarding weapons in Blasphemous, so we thought we’d share some more information on your sword, the Mea Culpa.

Born from guilt itself, the Mea Culpa will not only be your main way to slay the grotesque and defend yourself against some terrible threats, it is key to traversing Cvstodia. It will help you in avoiding traps, navigating certain sections and to ascend the more vertical levels, as the GIF below shows.



It is fully upgradable, for a price of course, requiring Tears of Atonement to do so. These upgrades will not only come in the form of adding to your standard combo or unlocking new attacks, but there’s a few surprises lying in wait too!

You can also equip Rosary Beads that will add perks to the Mea Culpa, such as receiving extra rewards in combat, or destroying screen furniture, to extending your parry window and more.
