Every time i see the altars in Blasphemous 2, I can't help but smile, simply cos there should be little to no way for most of the ppl we know of (bar the OGs Redento and Maybe Demogracias) to be remembered as they were, (unless the miracle intervened, then if so they are really kind).

Like i was hit in the gut with nostalgia for some of the Altarpieces:

Viridiana

Nacimiento

Demogracias(the guide)

like i can't help but imagine how our Penitent one would feel: Waking up a 1000 years later, when his life became story, story became myth and his friends became dust(at least until the endgame).

Imagine being forced awake for a mission you thought was over. You explore new towns, meet new acquaintances, find new weapons , with most traces of Cvstodia as you know it gone. Then you look at your altar piece, little wooden carvings that had some of (what may be) your closest acquaintances Millenia past in surprisingly accurate detail. would he be nostalgic and happy that their stories carried on, even after they had long departed for the great dream? or would he be sad that he would never see them again

Found this in my notes and wondered what ppl here would think of this

I always wondered something. In most novels I read (I know that this subreddit(?) focuses on cultivation and its offshoots but I need the wisdom of my seniors in the Dao for this), The Mc is always striving to reach the Peak of the existing power system or surpassing the known peak.

So my question is: Why and What then?

Why do they struggle so hard to reach the Absolute Peak of power, especially if nobody is disturbing you? using Fang Yuan as an example, he is a Sociopath(if i'm wrong let me know ) that wants to have Immortality (an earlier post here had a discussion showing me the difference between Longevity and Immortality) so why couldn't he settle for a strong rank 8 as his end goal when he'd be strong enough to fight Venerables and can't be looked down upon regardless of where he goes? Why does he have to reach the Top of the world for no reason he hasn't already accomplished? He never showed he cared for Fame and honor after his first life, so why?

And say they do Reach the Peak, no matter how impossible it sounds, what then? Congrats , you are now a Divine Celestial Jade Emperor, Nothing exists above you anymore and everything exists beneath you in pure adoration, what next? who are you fighting next? what are you gonna do that you needed to reach the Absolute peak to do it? Bring back your unfairly killed loved ones? you most likely could have done it in the last 5+ tiers of existence. Reign supreme over the world? Could have done that much earlier too (prob). Defy the heavens ? what heavens? you obliterated them during your face slapping arc, There is nothing left.

That's just the gist of my dilemma.

This isn't a SSShitpost, genuine question.

Since Prime souls have cardiovascular systems, I always wondered why they don't show the genitals(since they have quite a lot of Blood vessels in them). The Head can be explained by their unique facial structures, ones a hole the other a star. so i'm just wondering why

Ok so i'm playing Blasphemous 2 and I was Gathering all the gold pieces to get the Alterpiece for multi-purpose Mea Culpa and the rosary bead in one go.

I Have been Stuck at 19 pieces for sooooo long I thought that Eviterno himself would get up and help me look so i could get back on the main game.

But the it struck me like a blessing from the benevolent Miracle, I had gotten every other piece but the one by the damn tree! . I feel so dumb about it

Also I'm VERY sure I gave the oil of Everlasting Anointing to the lady with the Spear (Forgot her name)I got the Dialogue, the prompt, the whole shebang!) but when i unlocked the final key bearer (lady of the lake i think) I still came by her corpse! I'm so freaking sad about it! The new DLC seems to be bugged or smth

As We should know, Altarpieces tend give interesting effects when you pair the right ones (my personal fav is Nacimiento and Estatic Novice)

However i'm too lazy to find any new synergies for the alterpieces from the Third Sin DLC (Aside from the basic one boosting Embtujo's damage) so i'm wondering if anybody has found any good synergies already

Ok so real Question:

According to the Terminal, The Shotgun has functionally Infinite Ammo By Shooting Pure Concentrated Heat, so how does the Projectile Boost Work? What exactly is V1 Parrying? Since there seems to be no Physical projectile.

Hello y'all. Just finished clearing the Blasphemous series and I got a few questions (In no particular Order):

What in the name of the High Wills did the Penitent One do to join the Brotherhood of silent sorrow to begin with?

Why Was the Brotherhood Destroyed?

Why was Perpetva and Esdras so special? what happened to them (Esdras Especially) after the ending of part one?

How did the Miracle Grant the Penitent one his immortality without the High Wills Knowing?

Why couldn't Eviterno be seen in the first game?(or at least Traces of him)

Where did the soul of TPO Go during his 1000 year rest?

Why wasn't he granted Absolution from his Penitence of Silence after all he had done in service of the miracle?

Why did he Wake up With a wooden arm? Did the cvstodian of sin stay with him and turn to that? if so why wasn't there a visual change in the first game?

Was the stone Grave of TPO in Blasphemous2 the Actual body of Demogracias?

Why wasn't the Hilt of Mea Culpa Buried Alongside TPO?

Where was the Afterlife (forgotten the name) in Blasphemous2 during the Confrontation of the Eternal Procession?

Why couldn't The Penitent one use the Bleeding Miracle without the chant? since he Presumably mastered it Before Getting Eternal Rest, That doesn't mean he'll forget it when he wakes up right? He could forget the Prayers he learnt, but I refuse to believe he'd forget the BLEEDING MIRACLE of all things (cos i think having to cut into your flesh everytime you need to attack doesn't disappear quickly or at all)

Also Why did Sacrificial Fervor suffer the same treatment as Bleeding Miracle?
