    - When you respawn your health and flasks will be restored but your prayer bar will be empty, before leaving the altar hold circle( or it's equivalent) to fill the prayer bar as much as you can, then use the altar again to restore your health, this way you only lose tears of atonement to refill the prayer bar. This is specially useful later on the game when you already have most upgrades and items and don't need the tears to buy them.
    - Recovering guilt restores some health and prayer energy, so if an enemy killed you don't recover it as soon as you get to it, wait to kill the enemies to restore some health without using flasks, and in the case of a boss fight leave it there until you need it. The only exception is that boss fight where you have to constantly climb up.

    Forgot to mention the Righteous Riposte: after a successful parry, while your weapon is coming down for the strike, tap the attack button. This does a TON of damage.
    Another tip: if you hold down the button for projectiles, you consume tears of atonement and some health to recover some fervor. Use this a ton at shrines before Boss fights to have a full fervor and health bar

      bizmonkey007 It has health flasks, a souls based currency system, retrieval mechanics, it’s heavily gothic, bosses with heavy patterns and mechanics that must be learned, expansive but somewhat hidden lore, etc.
      I dunno man doesn’t sound like dark souls to me :p
      But seriously you couldn’t be more right, it’s obviously greatly inspired by the dark souls series. All the reviewers are calling it souls like because it genuinely is.

      Flask = potion
      Bonfire = check point
      Bosses that drop items = ALMOST EVERY GAME BEFORE AND AFTER DARK SOULS
      Bosses with patterns to learn = Every game before and after Dark Souls as well.
      Weapon upgrades = Pretty much every video game before and after Dark Souls.
      Souls = currency
      Should we call Souls games Castlevania-like simply because they both share gothic and medieval themes? No. And, it’s the same thing here.
      None of these things are what makes a Souls game a Souls game. These are simply easy grabs to say, “It’s like Dark Souls”. None of these things are new conventions. And, none of these things being present in a post-Souls game makes it “ Soulslike”.

    Unforgiving? Hollow Knight was way more challenging in terms of enemies and level design. Blasphemous is on the same level as Castlevania 3 difficulty wise, not Dark Souls. Learn the pattern you win, the level design is fair and challenging. The only thing in common with Dark Souls is the cryptic story and the item lore. Even the puzzles and cryptic riddles are more Castlevania than Dark Souls.
