Upgrade and Slay



Hey all,

We just wanted to give you a little insight into the Skill Tree for the Mea Culpa. Upgrading your sword will be key as you advance through the game, especially when you encounter quicker and more powerful foes. You’ll be doing a lot of denizen slaying, so you need the right tool(s) for the job.

To increase the power of your sword, you will have to visit Mea Culpa Shrines where you can spend Tears of Atonement to unlock new combat moves. Visiting additional shrines will increase the Mea Culpa’s strength and thus allow access to more powerful techniques. These can come in the form of extending your basic combo to downward thrusts with radius damage and more - but these will remain secret…for now.



This is in addition to the various Spells you can collect as well as Rosary Beads and Sword Hearts to augment your play style. Experimentation will be integral in your quest to rid Cvstodia of the terrible curse that afflicts it, as well as taking down the grotesque creatures in style!

The Hidden Secrets of Cvstodia



Hi all,

As you venture through Cvstodia, there will be many secrets for you to uncover. These will range from collectables telling you more about the rich lore, to Rosary Beads and Spells. Some of these are hidden in plain sight, requiring you to obtain a certain something for you to collect them, and others will be behind breakable walls or other secret areas.

But remember, some of these items will not come without a fight.
