by Verses are one of a kind of small spells that we can cast in Blasphemous 2 to better deal with our enemies. They would be a kind of mythologized version of the Prayers with, generally, a lower Fervor cost; which implies that we can also launch them more often.
These amplify that attack in which we launched a kind of boomerang blood disk that we already saw in Blasphemos 1, only this time we can choose from a wide assortment of other attacks (the Verses) to replace the one we already knew from Blasphemous 1 ( (which we can also get this one).
Personally, I must say that I tend to use Verses much more often than Prayers, in my case they seem more useful to me; especially since I fell in love with one of them, well, you’ll see that later. The thing is, I’m getting involved as always… let’s get to the location of each and every one of the Verses of Blasphemos 2!
BLEEDING MIRACLE
Bleeding Miracle is the blood disk that Penitente already had in Blasphemous 1 and the truth is that it is one of my favorite Verses because it is still very powerful.
When using this Verse, we will launch a blood disc forward a short distance. The good thing is that it will end up coming back towards us and we will be able to do damage to the enemies we hit both on the way there and on the way back; It is also an attack that will affect all enemies it encounters, one of the reasons why it is so effective.
You will find it in « Rejas y Ruinas » right in the location I marked in the photo. You will have to go to that area on the left to activate a statue that will raise the wall blocking access to the chest; After this you will have to quickly go to the other side of the room (you will have to go up the stairs, go to the right, go down the next stairs and then go to the left).
LIVING BUSH GALLEY
Galera de la Zarca Viva is a Verse of electrical damage that is quite interesting since we will launch a kind of beam forward with a medium range that can come in handy in several situations.
We can buy it from Medardo and Escolásico (the wandering merchant that we will find in various places) in the first encounter we have with them in “City of the Holy Name” (and if you decide not to buy it, it doesn’t matter, go to the location where you have it at that time). moment and will continue to have it).
FORGE AND FIRE HAMMER
The Martinete of Forge and Fire is a Verse that I don’t like too much. With it we will launch a kind of electric hammer creating a parabola movement that will hit the enemies it crosses and cause electric damage. It is somewhat difficult to correctly calculate the distance to hit effectively and that is why it does not convince me too much.
As you can see in the photo, you will find it in ” Mother of Mothers “, right in the location that I marked for you. There you will have to solve a mini-puzzle in which you will need to have Verdict (if you don’t have it yet, here is the location of all the weapons in the game ) to hit one of those bells. After this we use the bell wave to jump across the platforms until we reach the chest that contains this Verse.
LIGHT OF THE WITHERED EDGES (MY FAVORITE)
Light of the Withered Edges became my favorite Verse since it is undoubtedly one of the ones that makes your life the easiest, something that I always value a lot in this type of games. We will launch a series of projectiles (like the Infanta de Lesmes did ) that will chase (they chase a lot) the enemies and cause reasonable damage.
It is not the best option against several enemies (it is still good), but against singular enemies such as bosses, it is phenomenal. In addition, we can safely launch it into the air, I usually use it in those moments when you can’t reach the boss for whatever reason to continue causing damage. Together with Verdict, which has a passive ability (those of the Marks of Martyrdom) that makes you generate more fervor when hitting enemies, it is a very good combo.
Getting it is simple, you have it in ” Corona de Torres ” in the location that I marked for you. You will again need to have Verdict and in this case you will also need the Double Jump Skill, which if you don’t have it, is obtained in this boss .
ROSE OF THE THREE STARS
Rose of the Three Stars is a Verse that I also really like because it is very powerful if we use it near enemies. We will launch 3 fireballs with little range but quite large, if we manage to get all three of them to hit the enemy we will cause a lot of damage.
We will get it in « Sagrados Sepultos «, the location is as always in the photo. In this case you will need Dawn’s Prayer since you will have to do a diving attack to destroy one of those strange walls that are eliminated with that Dawn’s Prayer attack.
BLEEDING CROWN
The Bleeding Crown will allow us to launch an attack that will cause Mystical damage that will travel across the ground to hit enemies. It’s not that it’s bad, but the fact that it is 100% ground-based makes it impractical in many situations (air enemies for example); Other Verses are worth more.
We can buy this one from the Merchant of the Shadowy Courtyard , you can reach him once you have the Double Jump Skill from “Streets of Wakes”, I won’t get involved much more because I plan to make a post dedicated to this merchant.
SIERRA DE LA BUENA LUMBRE
Serrana de la Buena Lumbre allows us to channel a flare forward, it’s not bad, but I don’t really like the fact that you have to be exposed to enemy attacks for so long for it to cause good damage; I consider that in terms of fire damage, “Rose of the Three Stars” is more worth it.
This Verse is in ” Daedalus of Bajamar “, the area you unlock after defeating ” Odo “. Once you reach that point in the story, go to where I mark the photo and that’s it. You will have to overcome one of those time trials to get under a wall before it closes in which you must use the teleport between Sarmiento and Centella crystals, but little else.
ZÉJEL OF THE VILE THORN
Zéjel of the Vile Thorn is a Verse in which we will create a kind of Miasma balls that will orbit around Penitente, the good thing is that if we hold down the attack we can channel it and keep Penitente in this state for a while; consuming a lot of fervor (until it is exhausted) in the process.
It’s not bad but it’s true that it’s a lot of cost (if you don’t channel it it’s practically useless) for a reward that’s not too big in my opinion.
You can get it by correctly completing Yerma’s mission , if you got the bad ending of her story don’t worry, in that case you can buy it from the Shadow Courtyard Merchant.
