Though it is a DLC feature, the Developers have re-worked NG+ Mode. It is however very important we complete Requiem Aeternam before doing this Achievement as a lot of the tricks & skills we will accumulate for beating Bosses without Bile Flasks will come into play, as speed is of the essence. The final half playthrough will be for attempting the Bronze Medal Achievement for passing through the Bronze Door on the Bridge of Calvary in under 3 hours… which is not actually as difficult as it sounds. Unfortunately, this has to be completed on a fresh Save & cannot be done during NG+ since NG+ is a DLC addition to the game. The second playthrough will be for mopping up the Achievements missed during our first run through as well as working towards the Requiem Aeternam Achievement for beating all 10 of the Base Game Bosses without using a Bile Flask during the fight (or afterwards). There is a bit of grinding in this first playthrough so we can have enough Tears of Atonement to purchase all of the Abilities as well as Items for sale at Candelaria’s Shops. Certain NPC Questlines are also a bit tricky to finagle, but that is where I come in with this guide. There are a few missable Achievements in this game, but if you are on top of delivering Medicinal Herbs back to Tirso before defeating Area Bosses you should be alright. The first playthrough is a 100% Game Completion playthrough where we will beat the game fully, find all Collectibles, & complete the majority of NPC Questlines. All 45 Achievements are strictly based on the Base Game at present. You won't miss it, continue forward and you'll enter the next location, Wasteland of the Buried Churches.Blasphemous will require 2.5 playthroughs to 100% the added DLCs (The Stir of Dawn, Strife & Ruin, & Wounds of Eventide) though add new Items to the game do not have associated Achievements. After speaking to him, head outside the city and you'll find another collectible item, Phalanx of Brannon, the Gravedigger that's on the ground. Approach the window and you'll be able to speak to another NPC of Albero named Lvdovico, you'll acquire another quest from this man which is to find the remains of Tendua. You'll find yourself outside the sanctuary and you'll notice a 'church' and a window that you can interact with. Simply hop onto the platform that's on the middle and you'll notice the first collectible you acquired will appear inside one of the caged walls - now, go back up to where Tirso is, and head outside the exit that's on your right. This room appears to be an area where you place all the collectibles you obtain. Ignore that for now, and enter the opening that's in the middle of the secret room. The exit that's on your right will take you to the Desecrated Cistern. Inside the secret room, you'll find your first collectible: Calcaneum of Persian, the Bandit. When you're done, head back outside and walk up to the wall that's on the right- attack it to open up a secret room.

Afterwards, if you have enough Tears of Atonement, you can use it to unlock an ability. You'll find your first Mea Culpa Shrine, approach it, and a cutscene will trigger. Now, go all the way down and head inside the room that's on your left. Eventually, he asks for you to bring him ingredients for making ointments - this activates your first side quest.Īfter speaking to Tirso, climb up the ladder and pick up your first Rosary Bead: a Dove Skull that's on the left. Speak to the man who is tending to the wounded, he'll introduce himself as Tirso who is a member of the order. Albero serves as the game's main hub.įirst thing you'll see is a Prie Dieu altar, activate it and use it to replenish your health and flasks, ahead of the Prie Dieu, you'll also find a blue fountain, for now, it is of no use, but later on, you'll be able to interact with it - continue forward into the sanctuary of the Kissers of Wounds. The Town of AlberoĪfter the cutscene, you'll find yourself in Cvstodia's main city, Albero. Not only is it home to the Kissers of Wounds, but also to the reserved Order of the True Shrine whose purpose is to provide a proper burial to those whose remains have been separated. The order of the Kissers of Wounds is found here where their mission is to tend to those who are sick, wounded, and dying. The Penitent One finds himself in a village named Albero.
