Guess I am done with the game. 80% complete, with areas on the map that look like they should be enterable, yet there's nothing there, or there's no way in yet. Killed every available boss, and even went to the
but am missing one key (I have the vendor one) so I cannot progress through there either.

two of the three toes.

Sanctuary
the third vendor has a key for the jail section, costs like 9999 tears
the pilgrim goes from the mountain -> to the place with the knot npc, to in front of the cathdral, to a room on the northeast of the cathedral (in the mother of soemthing zone, the yellow one)
The last mask you need to go further up is in the jail which you havent done.
And like I said in the PM you are missing the falling down pits relic apparently

To be completed, but already extremely useful :
definitely true, the boss with the upwards scrolling screen made this crystal clear, it was very imprecise at times and overly sticky when just wanting to jump higher. this was the first time i was like "well, this could be better" :-)
Nah.
I bought the key a long time ago. I was missing the scribe key, which is actually found in that area. There's a fourth key that operates a bridge, or elevator or something that is nowhere to be found, the pilgrim is MIA (met him in the brotherhood area, Jondo and in each of those places got a toe, yet when I visited him in his third area, he just rambled about how maybe being a pilgrim means they are the biggest sinners of all or something, gave me nothing then disappeared. In the Mother area all there is, is the pilgrim statue, and that hallway that had the crying/tortured woman that I gave three items to and got nothing in return after she was set free. The supplicant who was also in that room is now gone.
There's obtuseness, and then there's this.
The key you want is from the jail zone boss so finish that zone, the only key from outside was the inquisitor the others are all there, you missed the pilgrim in the area where you fell trees in spikes near the start, and the applicant goes to the balcony to the west side of the cathedral that overlooks the entrance (like its 2 rooms above the entrance).
You seem frustrated atm tho lol, which I get dont get me wrong. I myself am giving up on this final mea culpa just cba with this chalice run after a few failed run.

Two questions:
1) There are some areas that I can't reach, and there looks to be some kind of vine or similar you can hook(?) to. Where do you get this power-up?
2) There's a puzzle in the Desecrated Cistern where there are two murals on the walls that change count when you exit/reenter the room from the left and right. It seems to count up to 5 before resetting. Has anyone figured this one out? EDIT: Nevermind, figured it out!

Is the frozen tree quest needed for 100%? This is some real fucking bullshit if it is because it's incredibly easy to miss. 12 hours in and I want to quit the game because of this crap.
All I needed to do was kill cheap ass, death-loop-combo Quirce, who to fight you had to go all the way to the left from the ladder, even though the map was shown to be complete...
Also I met the pilgrim in the area with the spikes where you knock the trees down. So I guess I've seen him four times? Yet only have two items.

This last boss...
Oh nvm hes easy when you figure it out and I barely had to heal when I killed him lol.
Whew that was a ride, absolutely loved it but I can see how its divisive. Probably one of my faves this year, certainly glad I bought it which I was reluctant because I expected 20 not 25 (well 22.50 with the launch discount).
Final stats 25 hours 95.75% oh well.
Edit: got the true ending, checked the bad ending on YT and its actually quite different, even then post credit scene, which is nice.

So apparently...
I had already met Redanto at every point, and did everything he asked of me. But then when I returned to the last area he was in (which is the Patio of the Silent Steps with all the spikes and those enemies that create toxic thorns) and talked to him again, he finally gave me the third toe.
Just looking for a little direction: I just finished the
Not really sure where to go from here. It happens a lot when I play these kinds of games, I get a focused really narrowly on the task at hand and forget what I'm even trying to accomplish. Can anyone point me the right way? I'm like 70% complete and have finished a *lot* of areas, so I imagine I'm close to the end.
Wall of Something-or-Other area, beat that boss, then took the elevator all the way to the top of the peak and got the item.

You need to go back to
Archcathedral Rooftops and to the elevator with the three faces. You need to place the mask you just got on it. There are a total of three masks, and each one you add grants access to a higher floor with the elevator.
I didn't think it was that bad. But then I've finished the White Palace in Hollow Knight.
Oh, you think that's rage inducing? It just gets more masochistic from there.
You finally get it? I just got it after two failed runs. There's really only two tricky areas to get through. One room was bad enough even without having to worry about actually losing something through death.
Hey uhhhh you said "nevermind figured it out", but I am trying to figure out this same puzzle, maybe a hint for those who search for this in the future? (and myself please)
I'm fairly confident you'll love this. This game is bleak and beautiful. If you enjoyed that about Hollow Knight I think you will here too.
Got to Gemino, the "tree" NPC in the snowy area that some here have said is a timed sidequest. Where is the oil to fill the thimble that he asks for?
My only complaint of the game so far is ladders. You have to be perfectly center to grab on, which makes some pit/spike jumps annoying unless you spam up.

Difficult platforming with fall deaths + Souls style checkpoints = fuck this game.
But I'm enjoying it otherwise. :P

Anyone know what to do after I beat the snake / giant baby boss?
I ended up finding it just through regular exploration. It's deeper into the snowy area. If you're thorough you can't really miss it.[/ispoiler]
Got to the final boss (with 79.5%)
First form is really easy. Second form seems beatable but the fight will be loooong.
I hope there's no final form.
Go to the highest part of the cathedral, use the mask you got after beating the baby in the elevator and go as high as possible, then go left to the 'prison' area.

I solved it by putting 4 on the left wall, 2 on the right wall. Was the only thing that made sense after "speaking" to the corpses in the same room, about the half coming back.
So, I am at the last boss and standing at 92.75% with all cherubs found, all weapon upgrades, and 2 bones missing I think...

Does anyone knows what the
Dried Clove is for ? I thought it was to be given to the healer in the house in Albero but he doesn't seem to want it
the bell which rings in presence of a secret, does it still rings even if the secret has been uncovered ? It rings in the house in Albero but t here doesn't seem to be anything there...
Viridiana's help, doesn't seem to change anything ?

Well, explored a little more, finished the game with both endings at 98.75%...
So close, I think I am missing two bones..
Not sure I have the will to look for them.. Good game

I love the aesthetic -- pixelated gothic, religious horror -- but I see some really alarming things about the controls. I grew up on the Mega Man franchise, so I'm used to watertight controls and the commentary makes me want to wait for a potential update that addresses the issues.
Yeah, that's what it seems like, although I never decided to test hits on weaker enemies. Mid to late game, even with the defensive rosaries, each hit you take is about a vial's worth of damage from most later enemies, which is about the same you took early on to the weaker, earlier enemies. So maybe they do actually work, but with the escalation in enemy damage, it doesn't actually feel like your character is getting any more defensive.
It's definitely not Mega Man (or Hollow Knight) tight for platforming. That's the game I first compared it to as well. You can adjust to it, and it's enough to get you through the game, but it doesn't feel great for a platformer IMO. It's somewhat floaty, and your character also "skates" an inch or two like he has constant momentum, even if you barely move him left or right. He's also way too clingy when it comes to ledges that you don't actually want to grab (and ironically, he will whiff right through a few that you actually want him to grab). Here's a tip though: if you want to drop off of a ledge, hold straight down for a second and a half. Save you some headaches.
I think the game overall was a 7.5/10 and a large part of that was because of the 6/10 platforming. If they can actually fix the platforming, since that's such a large part of the game, I think it will be a much better experience overall.

1.) I believe that quest is time-sensitive. I had two items I couldn't turn in on my first play-through, but on my second play-through I was able to turn them in.
2.) Yes, I believe that is the case. Not happy about it, tbh.
3.) I believe it only triggers if you are in danger of dying.
This looks like a spoiler and now I regret coming into the thread to read impressions.
I'll echo those complaints... The game's look is extremely my jam, but the controls, especially in the platforming, really hamper the fun.
What's especially bad is that falling into a cliff is an instant kill. This is fine in Dark Souls, where you only fall in a pit once every five hours on average. It's not so great here, since you can easily fall once every five minutes or so in some areas.
The game plays perfectly fine.
It is not, the game is great challenging but great.
I'm having an issue with saving on Switch. A few times now when I load my game in not at the last alter I prayed at. I have my items and progress, I'm just across the map at another alter I used 2-3 altars ago.
I just loaded the game this morning, last altar I used was in the town. Instead I was over in Mercy Dreams.
Anyone else?

While the game is beautiful visually and sonically, I'm finding the platforming to be a bit of an impediment to enjoying it. The finicky ledge-grabbing you have to do to survive in the
is bad enough, but the 1-hit KO spikes and pits that you come across are even worse. Some of them are placed so that if you aren't quite close enough to the edge when you jump, you will fall into the trap, dying mere inches from safety. To me, this is unfun.
I don't recall the White Palace having any insta-kill traps, though.

Played for a hour and a half or so last night before bed. Had some fucked up dreams.

Anybody here play Death's Gambit? These two games are very similar but for some reason, Blasphemous is clicking a lot bit more for me. I wanted to like DG but it was just a buggy, unfun mess (at least at launch). Kinda crazy to me how similar both games are, not only aesthetically but also the way they play/feel.
