![Blasphemous: Strife & Ruin - All Miriam’s Challenges [No Damage]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/YQd7uv7mADc/mqdefault.jpg)
It’s like Hollow Knight for Catholics on Mescaline.
haha!
Hollow knight was so vanilla honestly. Lile a protestant version of blasphemous.
Should I get this game for 6 dollars rn?
Emilio A. Yeah. It’s fun if you like side scrollers.
@@emilioa.2365 hope you got it, great $6 for a very well made game. can't wait for blasphemous 2
If you go to the snow first you come back with more power
True, it's rather hard to have your asshole drilled much wider Her Ladies wrist if you headbutt your way up the mountains
That piece of advice about the snowy area is so valuable. That’s the whole reason I came here - I felt so stuck on that section 😂
Awesome! I love to hear when this video actually helps someone!
It's also worth going between areas, going to one place, getting some upgrades, going back somewhere else etc.
Exactly why im here i felt im so bad hahah
I've just started playing this game today and ended up at the snow area first. I sort of knew straight away I shouldn't be here yet and went in the other direction!
Omg I'm glad I wasn't the only one lol
If you see a hint of snow, DON'T KILL ANY OTHER BOSS THAN THE CHARRED VISAGE'S because the moment you enter the first snow room it triggers a side quest which would be broken by doing this. Unless you don't care or it was patched :D
Still not patched unfortunately :(
dont understand
@@user-xq7to1ht2m there is a snowy location named Where Olive Trees Wither. In its first room there is a quest which the game considers started when you enter that room, not when you talk to the questgiver. After this it counts how many bosses you kill and makes the quest fail after killing two if you hadn't deliever an item to the NPC in that room. The item becomes acessible after killing Our Lady of the Charred Visage in the next location.
Or you can just find an item which allows you to jump pits without dying and access the reward by doing it. The reward is, by the way, a prayer which gives lifesteal to sword attacks.
It doesn't need a patch, entering Where Olive Trees Wither starts a timer that is dependent on various things (i.e. other boss kills but also new parts of map discovered, it's still not clear how the timer works, but it's not dependent exclusively on bosses, nor on real/in-game time passing). If the timer advances too much, the Gemino sidequest won't be available anymore, but you can still use Linen of Golden Thread to access the tomb where you obtain Saeta Dolorosa anyway
Which quest?
4:46 that panic parrying lol
haha! its rough out there!
@@ConsoleCinema That's okay man! I do it all the time 😭
I downloaded the demo and damn this game is good. As a big dark souls fan, I fully recommend it. Thanks for the tips.
I did that today. I notice a lot of newer games with demos to try out. Which is great. The reason I bought this game is because the demo was awesome
If dark souls taught me anything is you don't need end game gear to defeat a boss. I actually took out the charred visage boss first than any other (because back tracking is annoying), which was pretty difficult, but managing to do so made the other bosses a piece of cake.
Sounds like what I call, "Intelligent Laziness". It's a trait in video games, that I think is overlooked.
@@ConsoleCinema That's just a different way of saving working smarter not harder
Too late, the snowy mountains was my first area and I regret it so much.
My top reason of death is poison. Because the stubborn and idiot me decided to grab every collectible locked behind a toxic gas that I could find just to *then* find a poison immunity relic. I facepalmed so hard.
😂 darn
Here's a good strategy for dealing with spikes:
DON'T JUMP ONTO THEM.
DON'T DROP OFF A LEDGE INTO THEM.
I hope this helps.
If anyone is struggling with blasphemous take everything slowly and methodically. Always prioritize buying the mea culpa moveset upgrades, the dodge-thrust especially is super op. Also the mountain isn't too bad, just take it slow and use the charge attack and dodge thrust. I ran it early for the goodies and it was fine
Thanks for those tips. This video is sort of old, and there's been quite a few updates, so it's always good to get some positive people updating everyone. Appreciate it!
@@ConsoleCinema I just bought Blasphemous yesterday and boy I made the same mistake as you. Going to the snow mountain first ! Haha but fortunately I managed to kill the boss due to luck(the boss was positioning itself lower and easier to hit). I thought the same as you and there's also a tree guy that give quest so I thought it was the correct road. I was wrong xD. Going to the other area was a breeze after I bought the defense item that cost 5000
Yeah the dodge thrust is the one I got last. The description was so vague, that I wasn't sure what it would do, so I avoided it. But it's wayyy better than the others.
I'm currently around 85% complete in this masterpiece of a game, and I just wanted to come back to say a huge thank you for these couple of simple tips you posted here as they honestly helped me bigtime in what is a really goddam hard game especially upto around the 40%+ stage I reckon.
Probably the one most important tip I constantly had in mind was the "take it slow and methodical"
And the other thing I constantly found myself saying was "unforgiving"
In my opinion that word pretty much sums up a lot of how I found Blasphemous... However it just sucked me back in time and time again and most of the time I would make it just a little further, and that is the reason I love this epic game so much.
The one thing I now fear above all else... Its there life after Blasphemous? 🤪
i dont understand how to use weight of sin 😕
That snowy mountain is precisely why I am watching this video!
Dude im here because of this too hahaha
Snowy Mountain? If the jump looks too far, that's because it is. Follow the wind. Wait till the wind is blowing towards the direction that you want to jump towards before you make the leap. The wind will push you further.
God I hate this place😂I'm dying non stop from making dumb mistakes
Fuck. Im in the fn mountain. But i made it to the boss
The devious bastards put an NPC called Gemino in it with a timed mission that makes you retrieving a Olive Branch at the top of the mountain before you kill any other bosses.... Because it is an act of penitence. Sorrowful be the heart. This game is a work of art made for diehard metriodvania fans
I saw that i kinda started out on the slums on the map, so i just sticked to it. Jeez, dodged a bullet there...
haha! happy that worked out for ya.
I went to the snow mountais at first and used my brain to check other areas because i found it so difficult.
Actually if you're going for 100% completion, you're supposed to go to Where Olive Trees Wither (the snowy area) first, as it is the fastest place where you can get a medicinal item before fighting a boss (preventing Tirso's associates to die), and also it's where you can fill the Golden Thimble so Gémino doesn't turn to wood (if you fight any boss before the Lady of the Charred Visage, he gets entombed). Doing those things early unlocks the Saeta Dolorosa prayer from Engracia's tomb, an achievement and -in the long run- the Mediterranean Diet item from Tirso
This is fantastic information...buuuut just like he states in the video, there would be no way to know this unless you read a guide, or hear it from someone. The mountain sounds really hard! For reference I just got this game on switch, so im about to start a first play through. Do I really want to suffer so much at the start? Especially since I havent played before.
@@jakeryan2805 100% agree with you here, but I very much read npc dialogues and try to peice together quests long before I do them. I find this helps with both 100% the game and progressing in the most comfortable linear fasion. First i checked Tirso, then the old pilgrim. This sort of journey I was taken on practically held my hard through this amazing game.
That’s for NG+
I have it even though I let him turn to wood. Is that supposed to happen or are you talking about early game
I did the where olive tress, I gave him the filled Golden Thimble, after I came back he turn into wood. I get all the items in the tomb tho
I had the exact same issue going to the snow location first and just assumed that was the difficulty level of the game....after 40 tries on the burn victim boss....I looked online and found out with one healing item....that shit was near impossible.
lol wow, you really took the hard way. You EARNED that trophy! Or did you play this on Switch?
If you love those those moments in Metroid where you learn of a secret and think "well how the heck was I supposed to find that blind?"
... Blasphemous is the game for you!
Yea fair point, for some reason I didn't have too many problems finding the secret rooms in Blasphemous, maybe due to the fact I would mainly use the sliding lunge move and that tends to pop the walls open sweetly. 😝
There are moments where I think "this wall looks like I can break it" and well, you can break it. I love metroidvania games so much!
it is pretty simple,
if an area looks like a waste of space /too empty/ abrupt dead end /unnecessary geometrical shape-
then thats the literal hint of an illusory wall and secret nearby. if anything blasphemous is one these games tgat actually handles the secrets really well and arent obtuse at all
I'm absolutely awful at both metroidvanias and souls like games, so as you can imagine I have been STRUGGLING. Thank you for your tips, especially about the mountain!
Glad I could help!
This game is incredible, slow, methodical, mysterious, i LOVE it
I had a hard time in Jondo during my first playthrough, but when I saw the snowy area and the enemies I instantly knew this isn't the right place for now.
lol yeah, you can feel it, just being there.
To me the only place that is prohibitive if you aren't well leveled is the new area Mourning and Havoc. The enemies there can one-hit you if you don't have full health
Im actually glad I went up the mountain on my blind playthrough. It taught me the hard way how to play the game and didn't hold my hand at all during the battle with the charred lady. It helped me later on when the bosses actually got difficult because I knew I could beat them if I just kept trying and learned their pattern
Dark souls and Mario's love child
I can’t get enough of Blasphemous content. 10/10 game. ✨
Wow this is probably gonna be a huge help I just started at the game and ended up in the mountain area and was honestly confused because up until this point the game wasn’t that hard and all the sudden I was getting smoked which lead me to this video thank you haha
I did the exact same thing, I went to the snowy mountains first. After many attempts I left to look for power ups eventually came back to it. It was much easier
I ended up doing the Charred Visage first as well, not because Deogracias order, but because I simply missed the Mercy Dreams entrance and got stuck at Jondo. Good thing is that it forced me to explore almost all the open map before defeting my first boss, so I was quite powerful and the other 2 bosses were quite easy after that.
All you had to do was use the upgrade system
I almost did uninstal the game because i unassumingly went up the mountain first. I chilled for a bit and realized its probably an end game area
I see. were you able to complete that area yet?
"I never used prayers against bosses"
Ten Piedad who got combod to death thanks to the attack speed prayer: >:(
I did the snowy area first because I found it first and when I reached the top of the mountain I felt unstoppable
I had no idea what I was heading into with this game as my big bro lured me into it with its breathtaking visuals and aesthetic months ago. Aside from one other Metroidvania game that I barely even started, I jumped straight to playing it and needless to say, it's kicked my ass millions of times. There was no going back. But after almost 60 hours, I'm doing the boss rush mode and the Bloodstained DLC. (This is the first Metroidvania I've finished). Nice video, by the way! Me from months ago should have watched this first but there's excitement to playing blind and all.
im literally here because i keep dieing on the mountain. thanks for your advice, i needed it
Both the OP and tons of commenters remind me of all the people who went straight from firelink shrine to the graveyard/catacombs in the original dark souls.
This by far the best metroidvania game I've ever played.
What about Super Metroid or Symphony of the Night? The two titles where the genre's name comes from?
@@OnePolishMoFo axiom verge, yokus island, dandara, bloodstained, sun wukong vs robot, aquatic adventure of the last human, ESA (environmental station alpha), etc, so much good ones apart from the abc classics (which are great btw) :)
Try Hollow knight. Its amazing
Its pretty darn awesome. I love how its still getting alot of love still to this day. They seem to keep giving us DLC and upgrades. We gotta do more videos soon.
Hmm, I had no idea.
Thank you so much for this guide it help so much for my first play through.
Thanks for the advise I was indeed in the snowy area, I was having such a difficult time that I decided to investigate, now I’m going back to other region and come back later.
The snow mountain really got,thank for the advice
I played Ghost Song before this game and even though they’re nothing alike, it actually made this game way more approachable for me
i never played a game that rewards patience more than this one.
OMG i thought the snow section seemed hard, which is why i came searching for tips. Thank you so much for mentioning!
All he's doing is shitting on the game for being difficult. Great job awesome tips
haha! thanks for the support
I got this game yesterday and am literally on the snowy mountain area right now! Guess I'll be turning back, lol. Great video buddy, very helpful. (Just realised this vid is a year old, oh well!)
You boosted my ego 😂😂 I went quite a bit into the snowy region before giving up
I don't recall the guy telling you specifically to go to the mountain peak first. Just there were three humiliations you need to undertake before entering the place at the far right. Also you didn't you didn't expect to do platforming in a 2d sidescroller?
ah, you are a keen observer.
Just picked up the game and ofc I went directly to the mountain xD thanks for saving me a sweat. I'll turn around now
AMAZING LAST TIP. I was Stuck on the Snow Area as well and quit, and MAN I love the Aesthetics and Genres here, upset me hard that I quit. Will be replaying today. No need to thank you later, I'll thankyou now.! --- Also Great Video.
The last one seems to be the only one that's like an actual or significant point. Cause I'm still super early but I was anticipating having to climb higher and such first.
glad we can help in some kind of way for you.
Prayers make Boss fights sooo much easier! You got to figure out which one to use! This game is perfect mix of DS and Metroid!
I should have watched this video first. Just got the game last week, and I also went to the snow level first. It was BRUTAL, and of course now it's a cake walk compared to that hike straight up difficulty curve mountain. I also just looked up to see how to upgrade my health potions since I had three of them sitting in my inventory with no clue how to fill them.
I also the noted that the npc mentioned the snow area first and when I went there I realized right away to try another route which worked out cause now I have 4 flasks and the dash attack which seems to be insanely good. I'm late to the party on this one and loving it so far. This game is giving me goat metriodvania vibes, its early tho I have a ways to go before I can really say that but so far it blowing my mind. Fun ass combat. Love that parry and finishing moves. Controls are perfect and when I die it always is fair and my fault even if it's a spike pit. If I take it slow I havent been dying much. Im a huge soullike and metroidvania fan and this one feels like the perfect combo so far. Good video thanks!
you can’t go to the mountain last bc that will lock you out of a side quest that gets you a really good item
I think along as you have the lunge attack ability the snowy Church area is not so bad. That move makes short work out of most things. And the poison resist buff
Interesting technique. I'll have to try that on another playthrough.
Watched this as my steam game stream was on the death notification, as I struggled through the snow section; good to know it wasn’t just me!
with the righ calculation, first prayer allowed me to kill one of the bosses ( 3 flying ladies??) almost instantly, i dealt absolute crazy amount of damage out of nowhere. so no, prayers are pretty useful sometimes
You had a really good script man thankyou for letting me know I should go beat salt first
God damn it, I did the SAME thing with snowy location, beat it and was like: "Wow okay, that was hard", and than internet tells me that this is one of the most fucked up locations and you need some upgrades to it...
Brilliant game.
In my experience with all the open world games i've played, snowy areas hurt like a b*tch.
The traps hurt like a b*tch
The enemies hurt like a b*tch
The SNOW hurts like a b*tch
The bosses hurt like a b*tch
EVERYTHING hurts like a b*tch.
So yeah, avoid those areas until later on when you're fully prepared for them.
as i first played blasphemous, i went to the mountain and got kicked in the ass many many times, but i ddn't give up and finished the whole area
the rest of the game is still hard and surprising but i am now able to first-try every boss i come across :^)
Thanks in advance about the snow area.
The snow area had me stuck so I looked up a guide and found your Chanel and relised I went the rong way thank you you earned the sub
I'm here to thank you for the 'Stay away of snow' advice! So... THANK YOU!
Happy to help!
lmao i went for the snowy area first and was impressed at how hard the area was. Eventually ended up defeating the boss.
Loved your video bc i relate to what you said personally a few times throughout. You mentioned salt and sanctuary which is exactly how i experienced things. Play S+S a couple months before i just starting playing this yesterday. I had similar struggles with how difficult the game is and will always continue to be but your skills sharpen quickly. Cheers!👏👏
Thanks for sharing! Not too many in the comment section seem to understand where I'm coming from in this video, so it's nice to hear someone really does. I think they forget the video is titled: "Things I Wish I Knew". I guess the best tip of all is to "keep pushing". vicar-dei.tumblr.com/
@@ConsoleCinema literally just bought Salt & Sanctuary a few minutes ago due to your comments on it in here. I'm not going to start it until Blasphemous is 100%.... Currently on 97% so won't be long now.
I'm seriously hoping S&S is some kind of Blasphemous alternative hit for me.... Because the very thought of going cold turkey from Blasphemous is not something I'm looking forward to 😱
I’m kind of the opposite on most of your points. The vague descriptions of items, felt right at home with me being a dark souls fan. And I like that you can go to the snowy mountains first without being blocked. But I like games that do that. If you run into a wall, come back later and try after you go somewhere else. The only thing that did make me a bit sad was the prayers. I rarely used them. And like you, I used the attack speed one but that was rare. Definitely a missed opportunity for them to have done more with that feature. But I love the game.
love the review style buy like alot of people i never heard of this game
Rarewolfy30 thanks for the comment! Yes many people haven’t heard of this game, but people who play it, LOVE IT!
Just bought this on steam summer sale. Started doing the snow area. Thanks for the heads up!
Sweet! Since your just starting out, check out our Enemies guide. Hopefully this might help with some of the enemies you face later in the game. czcams.com/video/qp_OIMJd6uc/video.html
Salt and sanctuary literally broke me
Heard all kinds of hype about this game being "so hard", but other than one boss fight so far (f-you Eldras), the whole game has been pretty easy to navigate. They provide you with plenty of pins to mark places on your map. And you can not go "anywhere" from the start. You can't even access the second half of the game till you grab the 3 McGuffin's.. This game's map is like half the size of Hollow Knight too, and there's only a handful of dead ends that require new abilities. This game is like Metroidvania-souls-lite. There's no stamina bar, so combat is honestly a breeze. The parry window is ridiculously generous, and almost every base enemy can simply be dodged, jumped over or avoided in some way. I did the same thing with the Mountainous area, but I quickly turned around, when I realized I had so much more map to explore south of the mountain area.
NGL i wish i have learned these tips, can't believe i went to the last area too and lost some of my sanity basically i went in blind as a bat
Random side note. You should do a let’s play of hollow knight if you haven’t already played it. Pretty much any metroidvania lol
I started looking for guides since I'm literally stuck in the snow part, now I understand why haha, better go back to the other areas in the bottom
man i got to the snow first and sucked so much but killed the boss... i needed this video so much xd
tnx for the info man!
petrocvet absolutely, my pleasure!
My first run I ended up using a prayer build with only the lighting and very first prayer you get and just putting on all the beads that buff the prayers. Absolutely melted bosses, you just have to know when to pop them and how to use the environment and spacing to your advantage. If you can get it to hit more than once you’re golden.
I haven’t heard of this game! Was interesting watching this 👍🏻
Its one of my favorites I played this year. Thanks again for visiting the channel.
I went directly to where olive trees wither first and then kept going... I cleaned the area... I defeated the boss and I seriously busted my ass... I'm so dumb that I didn't even think I was taking the wrong route and thought the game was just that hard.
Idk about you guys but in every game I play if I see a snowy area I know that shit is gonna be hard
I have been beating my head with the controller for the last two hours trying to get through the snow area....now I know why!!! Lol thanks for the tip!
I just started and also thought to go into the snow area, so I'm glad I watched this and can now go elsewhere.
So in a part of the game I tottaly forgot I can parry some of my enemy attacks but it took long enough to make me skip the bosses or some hidden areas for an amount of time.
'Prayers aren't needed'
*Laughs in true torment*
I can't believe it....Playing this game for like 4-5 hours and first thing I've done....went to the mountains. That was informative, thanks :DDDD
Glad I could help!
I made the same mistake and went to the snowy mountain too. I got my ass kicked until I finally said f*** this and try to backtrack and that was a nightmare upon itself LOL
I followed the Fextralife walk-through guide from start to finish. it was very helpful, and minimized revisiting areas only as needed. funny though -- that guide has you go into the snowy area very early in the walk-through. and I agree it was hard.
I was exploring that snowy area my last play through! I thought there was a serious jump in difficulty!!
I just got good when I went into the snow area 😂 it was satisfying to get that area after the struggle
Some brutal kills here.. A nice looking arcade game feeling.. Cheers 🤙🤙
Thanks!
I mase that mistake going up first...now im goung the orher way instead i beat the tree boss. How did u get that trowing weapon? I cant find it
you get it later in the game.
Five things I wish I knew before playing this frustrating game...
1. There is a three horned crypto goat called a bleatocorn.
2. Tossing duffel bags of live cats off the freeway overpass can lead to jail time.
3. This is #3 on this list.
4. If your girlfriend already lost her virginity, break up with her if she can't find it.
5. Death is not an option, it is mandatory.
The script was written exceptionally well. Well done!

Rly good presentation told me all I need to know before giving the devs my money (It didn’t matter what u said I was gonna get it still appreciate the video)
I just started it for the first time and dude i went up the mountain first and i was ready to snap my own neck tbh
The prayers are so over powered in a lot of situations. Especially with that bead that makes them stronger. A couple of the spells completely trivialized, what would have other wise been very tough enemies and bosses.
These tips make you sound like you have never played a metroidvania before...
I mimic the below comment, never seen the game, but I like your review style and it looks like a good game! Great video!
thanks so much! super glad you enjoyed it. I'll be sure to let the reviewer know that you thought about his review.
I'm just now playing it and ur right about everything lol
People that stay calm after playing all that "call it what you want %*#!?!!" have a twisted mind !
hahaha!
I also got stuck in that snowy mountain in the beginning 😂
5:20 oh thank god I thought i was just trash because this section was HARD for me
I just went to snow first. Came here to get tips...
I’m playing through this now. Loving it so far. Finally just beat the bro/sis duo on the bridge and progressed the story. Just got a lot harder. I did the charred visage first. It was a bit of a challenge but I think it got me ready for the rest of the map before moving passed the bridge.
Keep pushing!
