    Looks like I WAS bitten by a bug!
    Apparently, the Lumps of Gold quest was supposed to give me additional rewards, which I did not receive. Hopefully the devs fix this soon.

    I don't know if someone already said that, but the Eye of the Traitor is the reward for bringing 10 Lumps of Gold. If you bring all 20 you get The Liberated alterpiece, which is an amazing reward: it allows Mea Culpa to interact with all objects, like bells and mirrors, making it the perfect weapon for traversing
    Althought I managed to get it without problem, a bug is preventing some players to get all rewards

    It's really cool that they are actually working to improve NG+ because currently, it is no different than simply starting a new game in another save slot. They should at least let you keep the weapon upgrades and have the option to choose only one ability to begin with (Double jump, aerial dash, etc)

    I'm a huge Blasphemous 2 fan. Since the dlc was coming out I decided to do a fresh playthrough of B2. from the beginning. Almost 16 hours in my save file got corrupted. Lost everything. I was just getting to the dlc as well. I'm very sad about it. That being said I love what they have done with the game. Re arranging some areas and adding to choir of thorns. Love it. But there is alot of bugs now. I'm scared to restart until a patch comes out.

    The Möbius Machine got a version 1.2 update in september this year. On earlier updates the game got quality of life updates for the map and gameplay and additional bosses. It's from Spain as well. On your tier-list I would place it in A. But that's up to you.

    I have not played the DLC yet, but for me just like mask of darkness in Pop the lost crown. Both DLC expansions are just going to be one of those expansions that are just going to be overshadowed, due to how massive Shadow of the erdtree from Elden Ring is.

  • @goldenyak629
    @goldenyak629 16 днів тому

    My prediction for the next DLC - it'll be the boss challenge mode like Sacred Sorrows, but this one will actually tie into and continue the narrative after new ending!
    The Penitent One will now be wandering a new dream, a dream of the sunset sea that he walked into at the end of the last DLC.
    There he finds himself accosted by Asterion's master, who forces him to relive all his old memories, fighting against all the bosses he has defeated.
    Hopefully there will be a new final boss that leads to the next ending at the end of the boss challenges - I want to fight the Second Psalm entity that was shown in the bad ending, maybe a verison of that entity created from the Miracle and Asterion.

      they really should add a boss gauntlet since NG+ removes all your mobility stuff+ mea culpa
      i wanna do the early-mid game bosses with mea culpa/air dash , rn you basically can only do the dlc bosses and final 4 base game bosses(3 of which are the worst in the campaign and only Eviterno being a 1v1Duel encpunter) and unable to do fun bosses such as afilaor/odon/Orospina/LesemesDuo/Faceless etc.

  • @skiesaboveunlimitedstargaz7316
    @skiesaboveunlimitedstargaz7316 16 днів тому

    I agree with you that first game was incomplete. But after they have added more DLCs it has started to become more of the Blasphemous lore now. Because during this time, they are still developing the main story delivering the system storyline itself... So, this is where the story line of The Miracle or The Penitent One will come. The embodiment of the penitent one is just basically a soul. So, if you see another Penitent One fails, there will also be another Penitent One will take over and continue the miracle to happen. There will be always be a Revelation but the Miracle and the new Penitent One will has always come. The game is almost the same what it could almost relate to human expression... we maybe facing demons within ourselves and making failures over many different trials.... and trying to overcome that... The game is just emphasizing is that "Never Give Up" because there is always hope!... All of this, is just done in an inspiration of historical times of Chrisitianity... or we could say Christian Catholics/Roman Catholics in Spanish Times...
    This also interesting for the game, because you have been given to two Alternate Endings which is the Good and Bad. And I think whenever they will continue developing this Blasphemous Lore there will always be 2 endings or another ending... which is a great idea.. Because the Miracle or the Mystery of Faith and Hope will continue to battle and face The Revelation itself!

    Playing the dlc on my completed save file was pretty lame because it just turned into alot of back tracking.
    I feel like I would have enjoyed it alot more if I did a fresh playthrough.
    Also the new ng+ is buns.
    Edit: Just to add my only other experince with a metronoidvania is Hollow Knight so maybe this isent standard but I was really upset by the lack of side bosses and side areas, b2 felt like a bit of a hallway at times so the fact this dlc adds new major side content (not just a few puzzles) is really nice!

    I loved the new level designs and platforming gimmicks, but Brother Asterion has iffy attack quirks, the Mea Culpa comes too late into the game to be useful, and most notably the NG+ is so badly designed that the devs have confirmed they're gonna change it. I'm not mad at it cause it gave me 6 more hours of one of my favorite games, but the bugs need to be fixed and I'm not touching the NG+ till it gets reworked.

    • @btchiaintkidding7837
      @btchiaintkidding7837 16 днів тому

      they give mea Culpa waaaay too late.
      you can only do final 4 base game bosses with it, 3 of them are worst in the game with only Eviterno being an incredible 1v1 duel. Meaning you cant access mea culpa in fun fights such as afilaor, odon, Rapier Web lady, LesmasGank, Elevator lady.
      a since they take away all skill and weapon from NG+ means they gotta add a boss rush in the next dlc otherwise there is no way to do the fun early-mid gMe 1v1 duels with mea culpa/air dash etc

    • @MetroidvaniaGuru
      @MetroidvaniaGuru  16 днів тому

  • @skiesaboveunlimitedstargaz7316
    @skiesaboveunlimitedstargaz7316 16 днів тому

    No, i think you misunderstood what penitence or being as a penitent being means. So, basically this is more like an inspiration of a religion (Christian). But other than that, the medieval centuries ago where Spanish timeline was considered a Christian Catholics/Roman Catholic.. Most of the time inspiration was taken from those old historical times.. It is when the Miracle will always trigger or when will the Miracle always come... The penitent is just a host of a soul. Once we as human passed away out of the earth, in that stage or level, they believe there is this certain level before reaching to highest entity or heavens... This is an inspiration why it is called Blasphemous, because it insults the religion itself... It is interpret in a way how path or journey of a soul is trying to repent or redeem. Like Dante's Inferno as an example... but, it has all that elements from the medieval times of how it embodies to be the Penitent One. It is also that has that way of interpreting how being a human is like and how it would torment it's human soul.

      @danielcasillasarechiga8493 16 днів тому

      Of course not. Shadow of the erdtree feels completely separated from the main game. The DLC is literally a different map. There's no hint in the main game that the land of shadows exists and nothing in the DLC effects the main story. (MAIN STORY, our character's journey, not the lore) You don't get a new ending or something that impacts our mission. Shadow of the erdtree story is its own thing. Blasphemous 2 DLC actually affects the main story, that alone is a better integration.

      @hectorlopez9453 And you just proved that you don't know how to read. Yeah, the lands of shadows has always been there because the lore says so, but the game does not make any effort to connect it to the main content. From a gameplay perspective, you just magically travel there, the typical "Talk to the new NPC to activate the extra content". It is not naturally integrated. In Blasphemous 1&2 the DLC and extra content are blended with the main game, which truly make it feel like it's been always there
