The final free update for Blasphemous is now out! There's a few new boss battles and also a brand new ending, which is supposed to be the true ending of the game. And now we wait until 2023 for Blasphemous 2.
This Madlad went from becoming a new holy figures like the father in the first true ending. To slaying the God that created the miracle, freeing everyone from it's influence and becomes the new God in this one. What a grindset.
@@BeyondDaX My guess, is that the Traitor used the Penitent One as a tool to free itself. What if the body we see at the end is the Traitor resurrected? Remember that with both eyes it can see now, and with the Last Heart of the Mea Culpa, we killed the High Wills, so truly there is nothing to stop the Traitor to be reborn and pretty much become the Definitive God of Cvstodia. Considering that the High Wills and the Traitor is one of them, my guess is the Miracle is controlled that at some point, during Blasphemous The Kneeling, the Traitor ordered the Miracle to revive the Penitent One in order to break the cycle of it being punished.
@@monsignor2943 Makes sense, but that begs the question on what side the traitor still on? Especially since he is the only one left other than Cristanta that knows the truth about the miracle. Either way, it'll be interesting on how this will develop in the sequel
@@JoeyFTL if you detest the parry mechanic no matter how well its done, then you've probably never tried to learn the parry mechanic in any of the games it's done well, which I'd say include this one because every parry-able attack has a tell and the parrying always works when it's supposed to.
@@DolusVulpes I know, and I think it is done well here, it's just a mechanic I do not enjoy in general. Much like how a lot of people don't enjoy platforming and I personally really do.
@@JoeyFTL I suppose that's fair, but I just feel to say you detest it in all games is a bit extreme considering how many recent games have handled it incredibly well. I personally only find myself not liking it when it feels like a tacked on feature and not an integrated gameplay mechanic.
It's truly amazing how far Game Kitchen have come with Blasphemous, i'm really excited to see what they're gonna do with the sequel. Whenever it comes out it'll definitely be an instant buy for me
This game is such a beautiful mix of gameplay, lore, religious inspiration and introspection. Thoroughly enjoyed watching you beat each and every single boss, and can't wait for the second installment.
Sierpes was one of the three bosses made by kickstarter backers, the other two being laudes and the amanecidas and isidora, whoever came up with the idea for this boss I highly thank you for bringing this boss to the game, it's my most favorite boss of the game
The voice actress for Crisanta in Penance is so much better here than in the original Blasphemous. By the Miracle, the first voice actress was so bad! This one here is a great improvement!
@@TrexHydroidz1248 Yes, she sounds much younger and soft-spoken, which are good qualities in a voice, but not for the voice that should belong to Crisanta: as she is canonically is the leader of the Anointed Legion, it's expected for her to be in her later years and rougher in voice and demeanor, like a grizzled commander: the old voice for Crisanta was too young and too mellow, especially during her battle against the Penitent One where she should sound solemnly furious, which the second voice actress nailed perfectly.
Gellot, watching the first boss fight compilation you had on your channel convinced me to purchase this game and I'm grateful I did. Thanks for uploading the final part, you sir, are a legend!
Out of all the great Blasphemous players, you have got to be the most stylish one. Your movement is graceful and elegant with not a single input wasted or without purpose. Extremely enjoyable and - dare I say it - satisfying to watch. When they thought about how the game would look in the hands of elite players who will take the experience to its apex, I'm sure the creators imagined something that looks like this.
@@JoeyFTL ye true but I like somewhat the concept of DG every part of the game is like the false hope for sorun and I love it. Depressing yet delightful Blasphemous on the other hand is an artcraft Love both
i definitely agree, his playstyle and skill is very impressive and has alot of personality. you can tell how much effort he puts in his work and great concentration and dedication. His game walkthroughs or boss fights are very cinematic and great to watch.
Now i will be prepared about the bosses thx MAN!.. And yeah it's sad to see that this prequel of blasphemous ended with the most astonishing and exciting dlc that we've waited for months.... Now am itching for a sequel TWT
Crisanta is my favorite Boss fight and I really enjoyed the boss theme but my god when I heard that new theme at 12:09 i cried ,so awesome that they added that.
Same, but then it is fitting they aren't. They have already expended their entire will on stopping the Penitent One. They influenced Crissanta, they kept Escribar's soul as a watchdog, they had minions aplenty to safeguard them. If one was able to pass their wards and wardens alike to meet the High Wills face to face, there is nothing they are capable of that can stop you. To be fair, they fucked up by enforcing guilt far too harshly and too widespread. Guilt is a necessity in any interpersonal dynamic, religious or not... but rampant guilt without benefit, without purpose, and without real salvation is just cruel torture. The Penitent One could never be free of their guilt, so they were driven to destroy the beings enforcing said guilt. If not them, then eventually, someone else, given enough time. It was inevitable. At least that's how I see it.
Understandable but i dont mind since it is fitting to some degree. i think its fine because most of their powers were used to do all the controlling of the creatures and Godly beings to stop the Penitent one and Crisanta. the final Cutscene was very beautiful and epicly fitting which was very satisfying to see.
I got the game on discount last month, still half way through the first play but fall in love with it already. Yesterday accidentally walk into Isidora and she slapped me thrice lol, the best I could reach was 2/3 of her hp
My guess is that the High Will act behind the Miracle, bring down both bless and punishment. But by the time of the Penintent One, mostly the High Will bend everything to penancy, sacrifire just so everyone can only earn peace in death (the other side of the dream). - They bend Crisanta will and mind with chain, blind her from the fact the High Will is behind everything. - They take the body of the sister of Esdras, make them barely able to comunicate so that the High Will can control him to do their biding. (If you find the sister tomb, she will tell you that her souless body is taken, she cant tell her brother what is truly happening.) - Even though the turned throne event cast down penance everywhere to punish those blaphemies, it is a long time ago but affliction, diseases still show up everywhere. Monster all over the place, diseases in innocent village like Albero, many people go on penancy like Redento but they only find peace in death. The High Will does not seem like they gonna stop these thing any time soon. ---> This lead to the secret ending, where the Penitent One decide to kill the High Will, free everything from its Work, from its chain, from its rule. To be able to do this, first Penitent One must realize what is truly the cause of all this, know something wrong from Perpetva (sister of Esdras) warning, know the truth and receive the special blade from the golden face under the Knot of the Three World tree. Using the blade to free Critsanta's will, she is able to tell Penitent One where to find the High Will, protect him and bring him back from death where no little angel can help him. The moment he able to kill the High Will, they curse him to be dead, unable to return, to be forever forgotten, nothing can save him from this penancy. I dont really know about that heart in the sky in the end of the ending. Maybe it the Miracle free from the High Will chain? Or Penitent One somehow by all the suffering he endure, all the thing he took upon himself to free the other, all of those have finally paid off, and in return the salvation come, he become the next Miracle? It is just my wild guess so dont pay much mind to a random stranger like me. :)
@@LuckyLiarK The High Wills commanded the power that would be known to those within Cvstodia as The Miracle. Dialogue from Deogracias in The Knot of the Three Words outright states that the young man who would become The Twisted One begged the High Wills for punishment. They answered his prayers, causing him to be malformed into his twisted state, demonstrating the first manifestation of The Miracle. The High Wills commanding The Miracle also explains what Jibrael meant when he claimed that The Miracle was jealous of Laudes passionate devotion to The Twisted One. Draining her passion to create the four Amanecidas worked too well since people focused more on her, and The Twisted One, than the High Wills, and they wanted all of that devotion to themselves. She was punished by being sealed in that mirror, while her Amanecidas were sealed within glass sarcophagi, burying them deep to be forgotten until they were needed. By slaying the High Wills, The Miracle can no longer manifest because they were the ones who commanded the power that gave it function.
As simple as I can make it, the first ending is you taking on the sins of all of humanity stopping people from becoming monsters by punishing themselves. This ending, you are cursed to be forgotten completely if you defeat the three wills, but you choose to anyways and end the three wills of the miracle and become the new will.
How you did this is beyond me. I barely beat Isidora and Crisanta's phase 2 (or phase 3 if you count how her attacks change during the first encounter). I did manage to beat Escribar's third phase on my first attempt, but hitless? Never gonna happen. Good work!
"So you walk eternally through the shadow realms, standing against evil where all others falter. May your thirst for retribution never quench, may the blood on your sword never dry, and may we never need you again."
The final DLC ending now is universally simplified to understand and comprehend...right? BTW, every Blasphemous boss is a "Miracle" of the Highest Order of Damage Sponges to live at the bottom of the Blasphemous Sea.
Nothing is simplified by the DLC at all. Some things are made more complicated though, like the last two boss fights, for example. Also, the bosses aren't really damage sponges. These particular bosses have a lot of health compared to others because they're all end-game bosses.
Just put 15 hours into a new playthrough to get the new ending only to find out if you fight Crisanta before delivering the Traitor's eyes, you can't complete the quest. Thanks for uploading this bc otherwise I wouldn't have seen the canon ending. Ngl, I'm pissed at the devs for that move, especially after busting my ass to beat Isidora and Sierpes. A warning would have been nice...
24:12 I just noticed The city here looks like a modern one, like NYC more then anything else… _Is this in the future, or had The High Wills and The Grievous Miracle stunted Cvstodia so severely that it’s still in a medieval era state when the rest of the world is at least 20th century standards of life?_
Blasphemous is a real piece of a game, building it's world upon both real life religion and it's historical portrayal into one twisted abomination of dystopia
Just religion in general. I meant, that usually religion preaches about these allpowerfull beings, that control every aspect of life, control all the little things in the world, they appear in any and every religion around the world in uncountable numbers, from fae and gnomes to angels and God-creator, from forest gatherings of humble satyrs to mighty pantheons of personified natural disasters. From religious point of view there's rhyme and reason to everything, and human has a necessary role in it, however miniscule it might be, and so we all must continue moving forward in accordance with the will of the gods. But once you start digging into what religion actually was, all that comes up are humanity's sins. Bloody sacrifices, govermental control, extortion, constraints, personal over communal, wars, pillaging and robbery - despite such highly dignified and exalted portrayal, every religion is tainted to some degree. After all, we romanticize crusaders - well, at least, I do, knights are fucking cool - but looking at their crusades it's hard not to ask "How are they different from nazis?". Well, for one, they were victorious and wrote their story as merely a fulfillment of God's will. Deus vult, brother. And Blasphemous manages to unite these two sides of religion into the worst possible scenario of gods *actually* willing all that blood and murder, of gods infighting for power and ranks, of humans at authority gaining godly abilities and using them in personal interests - all the while it's staged as something grandious and outside of humans' meddling. It's not a new idea or setting, but Blasphemous just keeps the bar high in the sky all throughout it's story, there are no sudden unnecessary elements, no "Ah, it's all bad, because demons were decieving humanity", nor "Actually, gods are kinda aliens and they just harvest humans" and neither "Gods were humans once, and as such they can't be perfect". The gods in Blasphemous are inherently flawed just because they are, no reason is needed, and that's just terrifying to think about, that something what shouldn't be questioned, the axioms of nature itself are wrong. And when they aren't true... what is? And that's another part, where many stories fail, but Blasphemous manages to get it. Most often in such corrupted worlds a hero suddenly rises to overthrow old order and set things right, bringing in morals we know to be proper in real world. But regardless if armies march after them or if they romantically rebel against the world alone, how do these heroes even know what is right? If their whole life they only knew their world, how can they tell what's bad and what's good, how can they match our understanding of correct order? Well, the Penitent One, the player, doesn't, they are just following will of The Miracle, playing their miniscule part in the world. They set out on their journey not because of rights or wrongs, but because that's what they were told to do by people responsible before The Miracle. And even killing gods on their way, Penitent One doesn't feel special, as they emerge from corpse pile of what's left from their former bretheren only to succumb to the pile of ash, having their helmet placed alongside others. How many had failed, before Penitent One came here? How many will come here, after you fail? How many died on their way and how many became gods you slay on your way? It matters not, for there will always be another Penitent One to replace the fallen. An always alone soldier of infinite army, ready to face selfish gods of the world. P.S.: A-a-and if you were asking what religion the game itself is actually based upon, many people seem to agree it is medieval spanish catholicism, aka "Nobody expects spanish inquisition!".
@@Orange_Tree_ "How are they are different from nazis?" The crusaders actually did fucked up things but comparing to nazis is a bit over the top. Anyway thanks for the insight on the game lore.
@@midoevil7 K, I'll admit I should have mentioned more than just crusaders, but thing is, it's not just about catholicism. Be it aztec priests demanding human sacrifices to keep people afraid of their authority, or scandinavian raiders convincing themselves that Odin wants to see them pillage innocent people, or some people twisting words of Quran to make enemies out of anybody with different beliefs - humans been using religion to justify their most vile actions throughout history. Of course, such bullshit was never reserved for just the religion, some people even use their status alone to sell their atrocities as benevolence, as we have seen with certain russian president. But at least you expect a politician to be a bag full of shit so it's not really disappointing when they turn out to be one. However, when it comes religion, to words of God or gods, which are supposed to shape entire reality and your own life by extension, it hurts much more by sheer contrast to learn they were false. One thing I'm sure of, is that if there is a God or gods, they wouldn't want their children to rip each other's guts out just because ome side was "wrong". If there is a conflict, there must be a way to solve it peacefully, and that's what, in my understanding, religion is supposed to be about
felicidades compañero, la gran mayoría prefiere matarla con full hechizos lo mas rápido posible pero allí no se disfruta el enfrentamiento con el jefe...felicidades nuevamente y saludos desde PERÚ.
Funny thing about Crisanta's true ending fight, you still get the money for beating her first phase even in the true ending path. because of this i was able to get enough really easily for the alms for oblivion achievement and outfit by just failing to beat her 2nd phase for a while.
This game is just art. I don't have the words to describe how I love this game. I completed the Good and Bad Ending, now I need to unlock this endind, and play Blasphemous 2, but because of school I haven't been able to play this masterpiece again. "Because mysterious are the ways of the Miracle"
I have been eyeing this game since it came out and honestly watching this video was pretty cool. Kinda won me over a little more. Also. I had to scroll through the comments and see what the deal was with this Crisanta character and watching that fight gave me killer Devil May Cry 3 - Dante vs Virgil vibes holy cow
Yes. the Pentitent One was resurrected by the Miracle, and when the High Wills were destroyed, so was all that was created and preserved by the Miracle, so the Penitent One's extended life ceased.
What if you could do: Intresting story about how Miracle is not a Perfect God that knows everything and just wanted to give humanity what they wanted (punishment) but by seeing how much suffering it caused he seends his son (penitent one) to show them the act of true selfless love OR Make a story into generic JRPG The team Had shown US.
Hey so i have a very good game sudgestion for you. Deaths Gambit Afterlife. In the game you actually get rewards for doing (most) heroic bosses (which are the harder versions of the bosses) without taking any damage. So you will have a great time helping us out with learning if the final bosses do actually have a no hit reward. But either way it would be great if you played the game as it has a great story and great everything else.
"And those, the Heresy of the Miracle has been stop, his preacher, silenced, his churchs, destroyed, and his books, burned, and a new day brights in the holy lands of Custodia, and the pain finally cease, and the sins finally are forgive and the guilt... finally stopped, and the penance... Accomplished."
I played this game when it launched. Did not care for it. Came back recently and it's a 10/10 one of the best games of all time. Unbelievable how they tweaked the backgrounds and the new areas and bosses. Also I love the new filters you can pick. I change them up during the runs. Not only that a reason to play NG+ immediately. I'm just so in love with it now. The music and the lore is stuck in my head and I can't believe the devs did all this stuff for free. I was talking to a guy at work and he mentioned he did the same as me. Played it at launch but didn't like it. Told him that so far this is my new fav metroidvania game. He said he remembers me saying I didn't like it. Told him to get the update and play it again. 100% love it now .When the game first launched it felt repetitive for the first half and easy. The second half felt confusing. Some of the stages looked half baked. They def reworked the areas and I love the backtracking. Plus some of the greatest pixel art I ever seen. So many good reasons to play this game.
Guess they realize no power can stop the one that had gone through all kind of penance, all bosses with all kind of power and none can stop him. So yeah pretty much they use their last power to curse him to be forever forgotten, truly dead that no little angel or Critsanta is able to bring him back from death.

Grindset is one of the most retarded non-words ever
Gotta love how much they improved the kinda lackluster duel against Crisanta just by giving her a new phase, boss theme and a slight speed buff.
I agree, it was super tedious. Although I personally detest the parry mechanic in any and all games so it was my least favorite fight to begin with
how were the first two phases lackluster wtf

Everything was drawn frame by frame by small game studio with no more than 10 employees. It's mindblowing.
wait wait wait...
you're saying that only 10 people made this masterpiece? i dont believe it.
@@eggseed6543 Maybe not 10 exactly, but The Game Kitchen is very small group of game developers.
@@AzzureSky still really impressive
@@eggseed6543 Yes, they are very impressive. I've been watching them since their first game and they always amaze me with their work.
Wow, I will need to get this game on switch then.

All he's missing now are the Demons along his side.
Holy shit....is true.
One more god rejected
Crossover DLC when?
XD
Based they are then.
It kind of makes me furious how skilled the artists are in this game. God damn the art in this game is phenomenal
You should check out the concept art, its absolute beautiful
Furious? Why? Do you mean 'deeply impressed'?
Honestly I'm delighted to see Crisanta's upgrade, she always felt like she should have been harder given her weight and presence in the story.
The new voice actress is also far better fitting.
Still dont like that they didnt revamp her from spamming that time sink of a dash attack tho
is chrisanta a penitent too?
It's truly amazing how far Game Kitchen have come with Blasphemous, i'm really excited to see what they're gonna do with the sequel.
Whenever it comes out it'll definitely be an instant buy for me
This game is such a beautiful mix of gameplay, lore, religious inspiration and introspection. Thoroughly enjoyed watching you beat each and every single boss, and can't wait for the second installment.
Berserk, dont forget Berserk
Isedora is such a hard fight without that prayer which can make you invincible for a brief moment.
Crisanta is the new best boss for sure.
Mists prayer works like a charm for Isidora too.

Only three times more religious and painful.;)

they couldn't stand their own guilt and as all the others blamed the messenger, deaf to the message.
A fourth phase of the final battle!? You're crazy
It feels like Gellot was concentrating when fighting Chrisanta whereas the previous 2 felt like memorising patterns
wait what there's another ending? Those are the High Wills? I am now humbled. Now to wait for our second pilgrimage.
I came here to tell you CONGRATULATIONS for getting 200K subs 🎉 :^)
Crisanta's second theme is SO GOOD!
I got the game on discount last month, still half way through the first play but fall in love with it already.
Yesterday accidentally walk into Isidora and she slapped me thrice lol, the best I could reach was 2/3 of her hp
Excited they got a voice actor for Crisanta that doesn’t sound like a 40 yr old suburban soccer mom this time
The art direction of Blasphemous is something else, i tell you. It`s gorgeous
Thank you so much for introducing me into this game ( video with all bosses No DMG)
These devs will have day one purchases from me. I'm going to support them. So nice of them to do all this free stuff.
i adore the artwork and worldbuilding in this game
The nightmare fuel of this game is top tier
FFS, I barely understood the last ending, now this one is even MORE incomprehensible. Great video though
Im pretty sure we just killed the miricle, or at least its current expression.
My guess is that the High Will act behind the Miracle, bring down both bless and punishment. But by the time of the Penintent One, mostly the High Will bend everything to penancy, sacrifire just so everyone can only earn peace in death (the other side of the dream).
- They bend Crisanta will and mind with chain, blind her from the fact the High Will is behind everything.
- They take the body of the sister of Esdras, make them barely able to comunicate so that the High Will can control him to do their biding. (If you find the sister tomb, she will tell you that her souless body is taken, she cant tell her brother what is truly happening.)
- Even though the turned throne event cast down penance everywhere to punish those blaphemies, it is a long time ago but affliction, diseases still show up everywhere. Monster all over the place, diseases in innocent village like Albero, many people go on penancy like Redento but they only find peace in death. The High Will does not seem like they gonna stop these thing any time soon.
---> This lead to the secret ending, where the Penitent One decide to kill the High Will, free everything from its Work, from its chain, from its rule. To be able to do this, first Penitent One must realize what is truly the cause of all this, know something wrong from Perpetva (sister of Esdras) warning, know the truth and receive the special blade from the golden face under the Knot of the Three World tree. Using the blade to free Critsanta's will, she is able to tell Penitent One where to find the High Will, protect him and bring him back from death where no little angel can help him. The moment he able to kill the High Will, they curse him to be dead, unable to return, to be forever forgotten, nothing can save him from this penancy. I dont really know about that heart in the sky in the end of the ending. Maybe it the Miracle free from the High Will chain? Or Penitent One somehow by all the suffering he endure, all the thing he took upon himself to free the other, all of those have finally paid off, and in return the salvation come, he become the next Miracle? It is just my wild guess so dont pay much mind to a random stranger like me. :)
@@LuckyLiarK The High Wills commanded the power that would be known to those within Cvstodia as The Miracle. Dialogue from Deogracias in The Knot of the Three Words outright states that the young man who would become The Twisted One begged the High Wills for punishment. They answered his prayers, causing him to be malformed into his twisted state, demonstrating the first manifestation of The Miracle. The High Wills commanding The Miracle also explains what Jibrael meant when he claimed that The Miracle was jealous of Laudes passionate devotion to The Twisted One. Draining her passion to create the four Amanecidas worked too well since people focused more on her, and The Twisted One, than the High Wills, and they wanted all of that devotion to themselves. She was punished by being sealed in that mirror, while her Amanecidas were sealed within glass sarcophagi, burying them deep to be forgotten until they were needed. By slaying the High Wills, The Miracle can no longer manifest because they were the ones who commanded the power that gave it function.
As simple as I can make it, the first ending is you taking on the sins of all of humanity stopping people from becoming monsters by punishing themselves.
This ending, you are cursed to be forgotten completely if you defeat the three wills, but you choose to anyways and end the three wills of the miracle and become the new will.
How you did this is beyond me. I barely beat Isidora and Crisanta's phase 2 (or phase 3 if you count how her attacks change during the first encounter). I did manage to beat Escribar's third phase on my first attempt, but hitless? Never gonna happen. Good work!
From seeing everything with “No Damage”, you are a certified pro gamer.
Isidora's fight makes me think of Death from Castlevania quite a bit.
Definitely agreed. She seemed like a female Grim reaper with several other unique powers.
the sierpes fight looks like a true test of endurance
"So you walk eternally through the shadow realms, standing against evil where all others falter. May your thirst for retribution never quench, may the blood on your sword never dry, and may we never need you again."
Hello, how do you do the skill at minute 3:29 on the controller? Do you have to carry a prayer or rosary bead equipped?
whoever put that sword spear into sierpes head is a beast
The final DLC ending now is universally simplified to understand and comprehend...right? BTW, every Blasphemous boss is a "Miracle" of the Highest Order of Damage Sponges to live at the bottom of the Blasphemous Sea.
Nothing is simplified by the DLC at all. Some things are made more complicated though, like the last two boss fights, for example.
Also, the bosses aren't really damage sponges. These particular bosses have a lot of health compared to others because they're all end-game bosses.
This is NG+. These bosses have much less health in NG
Just put 15 hours into a new playthrough to get the new ending only to find out if you fight Crisanta before delivering the Traitor's eyes, you can't complete the quest. Thanks for uploading this bc otherwise I wouldn't have seen the canon ending. Ngl, I'm pissed at the devs for that move, especially after busting my ass to beat Isidora and Sierpes. A warning would have been nice...

I just noticed The city here looks like a modern one, like NYC more then anything else…
_Is this in the future, or had The High Wills and The Grievous Miracle stunted Cvstodia so severely that it’s still in a medieval era state when the rest of the world is at least 20th century standards of life?_
who knows how much time has passed since the last fight? Maybe a teaser?
No it's not a modern city, the architecture in Cvstodia is very surreal and there's no implication of those buildings just being modern skyscrapers.
More like a time skip
@@azrieldalusong5042 what time skip lmao
No. They are church spires.
Beautiful man, this game is amazing !!
“Babe, wake up. Gellot just uploaded.”
Blasphemous is a real piece of a game, building it's world upon both real life religion and it's historical portrayal into one twisted abomination of dystopia
Sorry to be that guy but which religion is it?
Just religion in general. I meant, that usually religion preaches about these allpowerfull beings, that control every aspect of life, control all the little things in the world, they appear in any and every religion around the world in uncountable numbers, from fae and gnomes to angels and God-creator, from forest gatherings of humble satyrs to mighty pantheons of personified natural disasters. From religious point of view there's rhyme and reason to everything, and human has a necessary role in it, however miniscule it might be, and so we all must continue moving forward in accordance with the will of the gods.
But once you start digging into what religion actually was, all that comes up are humanity's sins. Bloody sacrifices, govermental control, extortion, constraints, personal over communal, wars, pillaging and robbery - despite such highly dignified and exalted portrayal, every religion is tainted to some degree. After all, we romanticize crusaders - well, at least, I do, knights are fucking cool - but looking at their crusades it's hard not to ask "How are they different from nazis?". Well, for one, they were victorious and wrote their story as merely a fulfillment of God's will. Deus vult, brother.
And Blasphemous manages to unite these two sides of religion into the worst possible scenario of gods *actually* willing all that blood and murder, of gods infighting for power and ranks, of humans at authority gaining godly abilities and using them in personal interests - all the while it's staged as something grandious and outside of humans' meddling. It's not a new idea or setting, but Blasphemous just keeps the bar high in the sky all throughout it's story, there are no sudden unnecessary elements, no "Ah, it's all bad, because demons were decieving humanity", nor "Actually, gods are kinda aliens and they just harvest humans" and neither "Gods were humans once, and as such they can't be perfect". The gods in Blasphemous are inherently flawed just because they are, no reason is needed, and that's just terrifying to think about, that something what shouldn't be questioned, the axioms of nature itself are wrong. And when they aren't true... what is? And that's another part, where many stories fail, but Blasphemous manages to get it.
Most often in such corrupted worlds a hero suddenly rises to overthrow old order and set things right, bringing in morals we know to be proper in real world. But regardless if armies march after them or if they romantically rebel against the world alone, how do these heroes even know what is right? If their whole life they only knew their world, how can they tell what's bad and what's good, how can they match our understanding of correct order? Well, the Penitent One, the player, doesn't, they are just following will of The Miracle, playing their miniscule part in the world. They set out on their journey not because of rights or wrongs, but because that's what they were told to do by people responsible before The Miracle. And even killing gods on their way, Penitent One doesn't feel special, as they emerge from corpse pile of what's left from their former bretheren only to succumb to the pile of ash, having their helmet placed alongside others. How many had failed, before Penitent One came here? How many will come here, after you fail? How many died on their way and how many became gods you slay on your way? It matters not, for there will always be another Penitent One to replace the fallen.
An always alone soldier of infinite army, ready to face selfish gods of the world.
P.S.: A-a-and if you were asking what religion the game itself is actually based upon, many people seem to agree it is medieval spanish catholicism, aka "Nobody expects spanish inquisition!".
@@Orange_Tree_ "How are they are different from nazis?" The crusaders actually did fucked up things but comparing to nazis is a bit over the top. Anyway thanks for the insight on the game lore.
@@Orange_Tree_
Well, thanks for the description, is that how many atheists view religion ? It is more just like being anti-catholicism
@@midoevil7 K, I'll admit I should have mentioned more than just crusaders, but thing is, it's not just about catholicism. Be it aztec priests demanding human sacrifices to keep people afraid of their authority, or scandinavian raiders convincing themselves that Odin wants to see them pillage innocent people, or some people twisting words of Quran to make enemies out of anybody with different beliefs - humans been using religion to justify their most vile actions throughout history. Of course, such bullshit was never reserved for just the religion, some people even use their status alone to sell their atrocities as benevolence, as we have seen with certain russian president. But at least you expect a politician to be a bag full of shit so it's not really disappointing when they turn out to be one. However, when it comes religion, to words of God or gods, which are supposed to shape entire reality and your own life by extension, it hurts much more by sheer contrast to learn they were false. One thing I'm sure of, is that if there is a God or gods, they wouldn't want their children to rip each other's guts out just because ome side was "wrong". If there is a conflict, there must be a way to solve it peacefully, and that's what, in my understanding, religion is supposed to be about
Is Crisanta Blasphemous' Hornet? Will Blasphemous 2 main character be Crisanta XD?
Hollow Blasfemus "Silk prayer"
If she is the main character, the only thing we will see is a completely black screen.
Crisanta: "Shaw" . Apperantly
I had to meditate and formulate a battleplan during a shower to beat Isidora. This dudes crazy
List of things I'll never accomplish: This.
felicidades compañero, la gran mayoría prefiere matarla con full hechizos lo mas rápido posible pero allí no se disfruta el enfrentamiento con el jefe...felicidades nuevamente y saludos desde PERÚ.
Crisanta ost is my new jam
oh my god.. no hesitation will buy this game on steam
Holy fuck the music in the 2nd fight with Crisanta. ❤
I was so worried the snake was going to be underwater. that'd have been awful.
Funny thing about Crisanta's true ending fight, you still get the money for beating her first phase even in the true ending path. because of this i was able to get enough really easily for the alms for oblivion achievement and outfit by just failing to beat her 2nd phase for a while.
Yoooo, watch the animation on the tears of the High Wills closely in the ending. It's mesmerizing. This art is outstanding.
Gellot is my Lord...! Good Job...! I'm waiting to watch Blasphemous II in 2023.
Sierpes is like a snake with Kars' DNA
This game is just art. I don't have the words to describe how I love this game. I completed the Good and Bad Ending, now I need to unlock this endind, and play Blasphemous 2, but because of school I haven't been able to play this masterpiece again.
"Because mysterious are the ways of the Miracle"
I have been eyeing this game since it came out and honestly watching this video was pretty cool. Kinda won me over a little more.
Also. I had to scroll through the comments and see what the deal was with this Crisanta character and watching that fight gave me killer Devil May Cry 3 - Dante vs Virgil vibes holy cow
So... the player freed everyone from the miracle, but in return died? And then was laid to rest
Yes. the Pentitent One was resurrected by the Miracle, and when the High Wills were destroyed, so was all that was created and preserved by the Miracle, so the Penitent One's extended life ceased.
All is silent and calm. Hushed and empty is the womb of the sky.
That true guilt aspect looks badass, so freakin' cool
Sierpe’s soundtrack is so good !!
Bro This is too beautiful The new blasphemous update completely blew my mind 🤯with the new bosses and the new soundtracks 😍
Tbh I just like that they changed Crisanta's va
This game is a masterpiece
it truly is a Masterpiece. Its beautiful, unique and powerful. This game is a work of art and easily one of my favorites of all time.
The serpent reminds me of the 2-headed dragon boss in Bloodstained, at least in design concept. But Sierpes is a way more rad design though.
Considering Miriam already made a cameo in this game, that inspiration isn't farfetched at all
Chrisanta theme gives real boss fight vibes
Yup getting this game now.
This game's song is incredibly good
15:09 The moment Escribar became Eskuribaru
I absolutely adore the aesthetics of this game
I thought the first boss was Herpes lol. Good job as always
What if you could do:
Intresting story about how Miracle is not a Perfect God that knows everything and just wanted to give humanity what they wanted (punishment) but by seeing how much suffering it caused he seends his son (penitent one) to show them the act of true selfless love
OR
Make a story into generic JRPG
The team Had shown US.
Everything about blasphemous is *chef's kiss*
Hey so i have a very good game sudgestion for you. Deaths Gambit Afterlife. In the game you actually get rewards for doing (most) heroic bosses (which are the harder versions of the bosses) without taking any damage. So you will have a great time helping us out with learning if the final bosses do actually have a no hit reward. But either way it would be great if you played the game as it has a great story and great everything else.
The music in this game 100/10
"And those, the Heresy of the Miracle has been stop, his preacher, silenced, his churchs, destroyed, and his books, burned, and a new day brights in the holy lands of Custodia, and the pain finally cease, and the sins finally are forgive and the guilt... finally stopped, and the penance... Accomplished."
or is it?
I played this game when it launched. Did not care for it. Came back recently and it's a 10/10 one of the best games of all time. Unbelievable how they tweaked the backgrounds and the new areas and bosses. Also I love the new filters you can pick. I change them up during the runs. Not only that a reason to play NG+ immediately. I'm just so in love with it now. The music and the lore is stuck in my head and I can't believe the devs did all this stuff for free. I was talking to a guy at work and he mentioned he did the same as me. Played it at launch but didn't like it. Told him that so far this is my new fav metroidvania game. He said he remembers me saying I didn't like it. Told him to get the update and play it again. 100% love it now .When the game first launched it felt repetitive for the first half and easy. The second half felt confusing. Some of the stages looked half baked. They def reworked the areas and I love the backtracking. Plus some of the greatest pixel art I ever seen. So many good reasons to play this game.
13:40 When a girl tries to hit you hard, but you are going for "no hit" ✋
The soundtrack in this game is so damn godlike
I honestly astonished at how much pixel art is here
time for a lore binge
I got this game on sale before the DLC was released. Aside from some difficulty balance this game was a ton of fun.
This is amazing.
Oh oh oh the boss themes! They drive me crazy😆😆😆
Awesome video!
New Locations
New Bosses
New Ending
And New Voice Actress's Lines for Crisanta.
" You have acquired: *Broken **_LEFT_** Eye of the Traitor* "
But... it's the right eye.
Right eye for the serpent, yes. Left eye for the Visage you give it to.
23:51 Deogracias at least is helping XD
This is beautiful!
22:45 Why wasn't this the final boss?
I would like to know, too.
Agree, it would have been way cooler
Guess they realize no power can stop the one that had gone through all kind of penance, all bosses with all kind of power and none can stop him. So yeah pretty much they use their last power to curse him to be forever forgotten, truly dead that no little angel or Critsanta is able to bring him back from death.
They are string pullers, not direct fighters. That is why they chose escribar as their champion.
There is a reason why Escribar was his guardian.
next to SOTN this game is the best. I really REALLY hope they make some sort of animated show - those cut scenes are gorgeous.
