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.

Blasphemous comes from the makers of the critically acclaimed horror adventure series, The Last Door, and was one of Spain’s most successful Kickstarter’s reaching over 666% of its funding target! Drawing on strong religious themes and local architecture from Sevilla, Blasphemous will take you into a dark and punishing world where fast-paced, skilled combat combines with a deep and evocative narrative core. You will play as The Penitent One, a sole survivor of the massacre of the ‘Silent Sorrow’.



Exploring the nightmarish world of Cvstodia and unlocking the hellish secrets within, only you can free it from a twisted fate and reach the origin of your torment.
