Also, there's an annoying ahh bug that couses my jump control bind to show up IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SCREEN for some weird reason. So that's epic... Unfortunately it's here to stay unless they will patch this out.
That happened to me, too! It’s also funny-maybe the devs were rushing to meet a deadline, so the boss ended up with a name like a hashtag or ID in coding. Instead of 'Brother Asterion,' he’s labeled as 'Penitent Rogue, Version A.' :)) Anw, I agree with you about the combat :D I will watch your videos later to avoid spoilers.
@@lehoangphuc1707 I do appreciate the devs' work here, but this game really needs more than one patch before the next DLC. It also has some frustrating bugs regarding weapon switching that were not fixed to this day. Bugs aside, this DLC is still pretty solid despite what people are saying.
@@MrDel-dj1ye facilmente, diria que le hacen falta como 7 fixes distintos, porque con este dlc vinieron aun mas bugs (y hay que ver cuales de esos seran mecanicas, como paso con el corte de animaciones al atacar hacia arriba en Blasphemous 1, tambien conocido como "uraurauraura Combo".
I can't watch this until I get a chance to complete the DLC myself, but I know you always bring it, and I'm excited to see what you've done with the new Mea Culpa kit.
pibe, la verdad me cerraste la boca con algunos aspectos y mecanicas que no tome en cuenta por mi forma de jugar mas pausada. Por ejemplo, creia que en si, no tenia mucho efecto el combinar armas, pero con esto veo que si lo tiene. Aun asi, sigo teniendo un gran problema con la Mea Culpa, y es que no importa que build utilice, hace un daño mucho menor a las otras 3 armas (hasta siento que ruego al alba es muchisimo mas poderosa que Mea Culpa en si). La verdad, excelente video corto.
@saawysorenson4585 Good one! Imho Blasphemous II has more *depth* to it. Which means that it just has more combat options in general (aka ways to deal damage or defend yourself in a variety of situations). Nine Sols on the other hand, despite not having a lot of offensive options, offers more in regards of defense and it does make each of its options meaningful with its very well put together *systems* (QI and Internal Damage). Personally, both games have very appealing combat, but unfortunately Blasphemous II lacks proper polish compared to Nine Sols.
You make a compelling argument, even with the clarification in the description. If i'm seeing this correctly: are you activating Veredicto's fire in mid-air, allowing for extra airtime? Also: What other MV combat systems have been of enjoyment to you? i see Nine Sols in your channel, and am curious if you know of Cookie Cutter, Kraino Rebirth, Grime, Voidwrought and who-knows-what-else. Cookie Cutter especially is glad to give a variety of weapons and some "spells" to use. The lead dev stated inspiration from 2D beat-em-ups for the gameplay.
Veredicto activation does provide air-time, yes. But this attack also has a very high stagger rate. Generally, big enemies that have super armour in this game can't be staggered straight away like small ones do, but after a certain amount of hits they will get staggered giving you opportunity for further agression. Some moves, as I mentioned with this Ignition Strike, can stagger enemies better than others, same goes for weapons. There's also a stun state, in which you can brutally finish off enemies Doom/Mortal Kombat style, but I guess you are familiar with that if you have played Blasphemous (I have a feeling you did). And to boot, it's just a pretty strong aerial attack overall As for combat systems, I liked Hollow Knight's combat system long time ago (it's just simple and clean as some might say). Rain World - while technically not a MV game, is very unique... There's a certain character in there called Artificer which I think I enjoyed more than others (this game is nothing like anything, it is it's own kind of thing and I love it for that). Nine Sols - loved the way they made defense and offense work together (a very smartly put together system that works very well). I played Last Faith a bit, but further playthrough is paused for now, so I can't say much honestly. As for other games you have mentioned, I honestly haven't played them. I think I heard of some of them, but vaguely.
@@MrDel-dj1ye Thank you very much for taking the time to reply! The clarification on the staggers and those staggers being dependant on an amount of hits helps too. Combat is always made up of multiple systems working with one another. Therefore, having more knowledge on the other systems (how the staggers work and Veredicto's strength/data on that front) helps getting a more full picture. I haven't actually played Blasphemous and in terms of Metroidvanias my direct experience doesn't reach further than aforementioned Cookie Cutter in recent years. And the demo of Kraino Rebirth. (i've played Shantae: Risky's Revenge multiple times when i was little, too). Definitely not unknown with the idea of stun states either, but i have more direct experiences with games that have that. Mainly through the likes of Darksiders 1 and 2, Lords of Shadow 1 and 2, Dante's Inferno, and --yet again-- Cookie Cutter. To a lesser extent, Zeno Clash 1 and 2. It's not an outright Execution, but when an enemy is stunned you can grab them to knee them in the face and then uppercut them away. A *lot* of my own knowledge comes from secondhand experience and reading about stuff throughout the years. - Fair on Hollow Knight being simple and fun! - Rain World is the game with the creatures known as Slugcats, right? I've heard of that one-- how tough and brutal it is, and how its world operate like a more natural ecosystem if i'm not mistaken. I didn't know there were multiple characters, but then again, there's a lot i don't know about it. - Nine Sols is relatively more on the simple end if i'm not mistaken, and VERY HEAVY on parries, right? And using the power gained from succesful parries to slap an exploding seal on the enemy which you can explode later for heavy damage and interrupting the enemy/boss... if you can dodge damage in the meantime. That's roughly how it works, if i'm not mistaken. - Last Faith i've seen be referred to as 2D Bloodborne due to all the weapons and magic and general style. Fair! To clarify on the titles i mentioend, - GRIME is like a Metroidvania RPG, bunch of different weapons and the absorption mechanic is a pretty big thing. Plus some platforming abilities that become involved in the boss fights too. Fascinating body horror world. - Kraino Rebirth is a spooky and relatively more simple venture, about a skeleman with a scythe and top hat. Looks to be a solid one. - Voidwrought i don't know super much of, but general reception is positive. I like the style. - Cookie Cutter is a personal favourite. Hand-drawn 2D animated MV with a cartoonish style, in a colorful sci-fi/cyberpunk setting. It can be a bit off-putting and initially did so for me as well-- but i'm glad i stuck with it. It's a big passion project of the lead dev who, roughly in his own words, says: "I will continue to put my characters out there until i'm not better, not worse, until i'm different". Some have hated it for the way the main character looks, alone. Others find it okay-to-solid. And those that resonate with it, resonate very strongly. Mechanically it's not groundbreaking like Nine Sols or Blasphemous would be (though the lead dev is fond of Blasphemous). As a game it's solid, and as a world and environment-- it really *is* something different. There's a lot more planned for the future. More areas, story beats, enemies, weapons, NPCs, bosses etc. I really want to see the story be told in full and for the game to do new things and stay solid as it goes along. I try my best to spread word of it where i can. This comment's quite big, but if you took the time to read through all this: thank you for doing so. Hope it was nice and got you interested.
@@aleex_maggot well that's a bit of an overexaggeration. The problem is that it's only "a bit", in general I have to agree that there are, sadly, a lot of them
I'm the only lucky one who didn't get any bug? I mean the only bug i encountered so far has been Càstula cloth spawning infinite times in the same location but it's part of the base game and isn't even game breaking
@@_caerwin_ I just play in an almost gamebreaking way. You know... Cancels, constant weapon switching... There were 2 major bugs that were messing me up in most of my "no damage" videos (off screen of course). 1) When you cancel the Sarmiento and Centella's perfect parry with a weapon switch, you will get hit by an attack you have already parried. 2) If you switch a weapon during the chant casting animation game will decide to cast this chant again without your own input. Plus, when you switch a weapon there's a slight 3-5 frame delay before you do any action aside from attacking or walking for some reason. But if you play with one weapon, I don't think you'll notice these issues.
@@trollaseum6174 Mea Culpa in this game is a pretty great addition, plus if you are a fan of platforming in Blasphemous II you will definitely like the 2 new areas that were added. I wouldn't say that these platforming challenges are hard, but they definitely require some thought put into them. There's a pretty cool projectile based bossfight and a duel bossfight with a rematch that might give you some real challenge almost comparable to Eviterno, plus 3 mini bosses that are also pretty cool, but honestly pretty much a breeze at this point. I would say that this DLC is definitely bigger than any of the Blasphemous I's DLCs aside from NG+ mode (speaking of which developers are already working on redoing their current iteration of True Torment for Blasphemous II, but that's beside the point)... I think you should definitely get it. There have to be a discount for the DLC, right now, so yes, it's worth it.

The very same for me. I'm gonna learn some in order to get the run with all penances activated. ❤😂
I swear to god the sound of the perfect parry with mea culpa makes me cm by the ears , and fighting asterion was a goddamn masterpiece

Which altar pieces do you like to use?
Even when some areas in the game are a little boring just the game mobility makes it funnier

Make gameplays in your channel making 100% and showing us how to cheese the game in some bosses and areas
I'm more of a atmosphere / struggle type of fight guy.
Blasphemous > Blasphemous 2
Combat and platforming > Everything.

how did he get his mea culpa back
I love it, play somewhat similar but only for bosses that, otherwise would beat my ass. Turns into dmc real quick
Maybe so but I loved slower and more methodic way o foremen in first one. Mason wheel and toe would suffice. This looks like ori...
