Quirce is probably the Slave Knight Gael of the game. A really cool bossfight which is really satisfying when one learned his moveset and can beat him effectively.
Fun fact: Expósito is a common last name in latin countries, given during roman times to orphaned children without a last name. From what I can recall, the true meaning it's very close to what is sounds in spanish: "In exposition". You know, because they were being exposed like cattle to be adopted/bought as slaves.
That's actually really close to what happened to the baby. Iirc the baby had no parents so it cried until a wicker doll was made to hold it. The wicker doll then seemed to be alive itself.
Esposito means "exposed" and abjuration means to swear off or revoke. I wonder why the form was giant bloody-eyed baby. Maybe something about the new beginnings when you swear something off? I try not to look at it like an actual baby or I would be in the same boat as you
Remember this game was made by spanish people using catholic spanish imaginery. Its pretty common to find names like "Nuestra señora del perpetuo socorro" (Our lady of the eternal aid) in the catholic worshipping. .... But yeah, its a woman with a burnt face.
It's been a long time since a game was able to evoke emotions from me let alone a 32bit pixel game. The team behind this are genius, very surreal and disturbing with enough elements to keep you mesmerized. Brilliantly done
Such a testament to all those random yet ultra impressive game bosses from Contra, Midnight Resistance, Shadow of the Beast and so on! Loooove the vibe!
The Exhumed Archbishop was one of my favorite fights. I just really thought it was cool in every way. It just was the perfect boss for me. Definitely one of the easier bosses in my opinion but still a good challenge.

It's not creepy. I find most of the stuff uninspired as a Spanish person. They could have named one of the bosses "Pene Sagrado" and You guys would be acting all philosophical about it lol
Breaker By “Uninspired” you mean that the name is not like meaningful? Idk if this is true but I heard from this comment section that La Piedad was a Miguel Angel sculpture of Jesus crucified being carried in the arms of his mother... Like in the way you encounter the boss
Pixel art is pretty straightforward... the Frames Per Second is what makes it smooth. Just imagine how many layers of pixel drawings it takes just to make a simple move animation for a single sprite. This is tedius hard work for artists. But it is rewarding when it's done as you can see in this game.
@@HaohmaruHL That's an economical way to do it. We really wouldn't know. I never thought of the 3D approach. My mind was set on some volunteers or actors moving on a green screen and using some footages and freedom of interpretation once it is post processed. But some animators do that too.
@@PitchaxisT I don't really understand art drawing but I do love 2D gaming and wondered how they make such a smooth movement out of some...the process I mean....like two fighting games Garou mark of the wolves and street fighter 3 had amazing smooth movement and cloth animation...Castlevania which is obviously this game got it's inspiration from...the symphony of the night has amazing movement as well...
So I have never heard of nor seen this game until now. However, after watching this, I've realized something... This game is what happens if you try to turn any European heavy death metal band's album into a video game... Each track is a boss name and the lyrics are the story. Very cool.
Fun fact: "Ten piedad" its named after michael angelo's famous statue "la piedad" wich is the Virgin Mary embracing Jesús after his crucifixion, at the start of the battle the way the boss is presented ressembles la piedad a lot
Yes! Gellot the Undying graced us with his new video. Man, I watched another guy do similar thing. He decided to use only a sword. And since i saw it i was waiting for Gellot to do his take on it
I love how fighting Quirce is just exactly like that old fight against the Werewolf in Castlevania Rondo of blood/Dracula X, just the exact movements, patterns, everything.
Her story is kinda creepy too. She was so beautiful that the surrounding townspeople worshipped her as a manifestation of divinity, so to avoid the heresy of being a false idol she burned her face with boiling oil to sacrifice her beauty to the divine. Then the Grievous Miracle cursed her that her face would always be simmering and burning as though she just poured the oil, and seeing the works of the Miracle, the townspeople continued to worship her as a saint, with the Convent of Our Lady of the Charred Visage being established in her honor, where faithful nuns trekked up the mountains to the convent and burned their faces in the same way This world is messed up
The way the gold is on the "Our Lady of the Charred Visage" reminds me a bit of a scene in Game of Thrones where Khal Drogo kills Viserys in a way. Also with boiling gold.

I died 14 -20 times to each amercia to reach to the less damage or no damage lvl
🤣😂
He’s kidding
Thrust, I'm incredibly good at this type of platformers and i still felt challenged a lot, it isn't easy
Quirce is probably the Slave Knight Gael of the game. A really cool bossfight which is really satisfying when one learned his moveset and can beat him effectively.
“The red hood has come to eat our dark souls”
Fun fact: Expósito is a common last name in latin countries, given during roman times to orphaned children without a last name. From what I can recall, the true meaning it's very close to what is sounds in spanish: "In exposition". You know, because they were being exposed like cattle to be adopted/bought as slaves.
In Italian it's Esposito and it's very diffused in South Italiy
Ok, poor baby, but also, not getting near it.
That's actually really close to what happened to the baby. Iirc the baby had no parents so it cried until a wicker doll was made to hold it. The wicker doll then seemed to be alive itself.
theonlycatonice He had a mother, but she was burned at the stake for some unspecified heresy. Whether the accusation was true or not is not clear.
It's not common.
"I curse you forever in name. I bless you forever in death" never has a game actually made me feel like I might be cursed.... Good job.
"What a horrible night to have a curse"
What does it mean?

Conjecture. If you can't have power over something else, you can at least exert your frustrations on what you already do.
@@6JP6PG7 Basic thinking.
So you don't punch the person itself, it wouldn't be good xD
I wonder... Is that statue supposed to resemble virgin mary? Because the statue does look like her
The boss with the baby though....My motherly instincts come out Everytime I hear it cry it just makes me sad and disturbed
Crazy. Have u tried new game plus or beat the game ?
Esposito means "exposed" and abjuration means to swear off or revoke. I wonder why the form was giant bloody-eyed baby. Maybe something about the new beginnings when you swear something off? I try not to look at it like an actual baby or I would be in the same boat as you
@@munchymuffins5187 have you read the lore about Exposito?
Is really sad, but interesting nonetheless
He failed the challenge cause he stabbed himself at the end
Re do it
_"Our Lady of the Charred Visage"_ is just a fancy way of saying _"Woman with Burnt Face."_
Floating Sunfish Hey if you're gonna make a name out of someone's burned face you might as well make it fancy lol.
No offence but I had already knew that. Thank you though.
Wow. So glad you could point that out.
Remember this game was made by spanish people using catholic spanish imaginery.
Its pretty common to find names like "Nuestra señora del perpetuo socorro" (Our lady of the eternal aid) in the catholic worshipping.
.... But yeah, its a woman with a burnt face.
Can a woman be that badly burned to look like a man??

I remembered that one lady.
It's been a long time since a game was able to evoke emotions from me let alone a 32bit pixel game. The team behind this are genius, very surreal and disturbing with enough elements to keep you mesmerized. Brilliantly done
He said Among us!!!
Such a testament to all those random yet ultra impressive game bosses from Contra, Midnight Resistance, Shadow of the Beast and so on!
Loooove the vibe!
The Exhumed Archbishop was one of my favorite fights. I just really thought it was cool in every way. It just was the perfect boss for me. Definitely one of the easier bosses in my opinion but still a good challenge.
He said Among us!!!
Just playing through Blasphemous now, but yeah, I kicked Melquiades's ass.
I hadn't noticed before but our lady of the charred visages eyes track your movements. That's a cool detail I think
When the perfect dodges and blocks are on point, it's just so satisfying to watch.
8. Quirce, Returned by the Flames gives off mad Mantis Lords vibes, the clinging to the wall throwing the spinny thing at you, the follow up downwards slams, horizontal rushes, etc. 13:22

10:51 Wow! This is one of the coolest thing I ever seen in videogames.
18:12 Damn! Who is the guy behind boss creation? This game is pure art. Omg!
Unfortunately it's style over substance. It's very tedious to play.
@@monstertheatergames It is, if you care more about style than substance. The game has numerous problems and all concerning the gameplay and design. I will not go into specifics here as it will take a lot of space but suffice to say there are reviews out there where they point out the severe issues this game has.
@@ikaruga24 game’s phenomenal considering its an indie title by some small studio. You’ve repeated these comments before. Over and over. Which reviews talk about these numerous issues? Let me guess: the fact that the map sucks and it’s hard to navigate anywhere because there’s nothing indicating you’re making progress?
I’ll take this “style over substance” with simple workable gameplay anyday. Mechanics are easy to grasp and bosses are interesting enough along with a story that has more “substance” then I was expecting from a small title like this. A Recommendable 2D scroller from a bygone era.
@@ikaruga24 Man you must be a game journalist to say that the gameplay of this game is problematic lmao. One button to attack, one button to dash, one button to use your special, one button to jump. 4 buttons. No skill/weapon wheel. Dash i-frames are nice and actually exists. Movements doesn't feel slow at all and hitboxes are actually fair and balanced, what are you complaining about?
You said "I will not go into specifics" but that doesn't mean you can use it as an excuse to make a statement, only to not back it up with arguments lmao.
"Yeah gameplay sucks." "Why?" "It sucks, end of story."
Like, you don't even need to go into specifics, just say "X is bad" and you're done.
@@ikaruga24 That's every 2D game to be fair. Ah if only they didn't have platforming

Idk why, but Esdras' fight scene fill me with awesomeness and sorrow at the same time
These bosses have the most Soulsborne-esqe names and I love it for that.
This video got me into Blasphemous back in 2019. Thank you for introducing me to this incredible series 😁
I was literally on the edge of my seat this entire run. Spectacular job this was amazing to witness!

Same. Lol
When comes to gaming... I dont regret it
I wanted to see the bosses but i didnt know the name of the game, so i typed gellot and found this.

spanish southern culture hitting really hard
I am glad this randomly popped up in my recommended, this is epic af
This game will surely give me more nightmares if I was 5 years old in 98
Man I wish I had this on SNES back in the day!!
The game is from 2019, right?
@@ROCKNROLL947 yes but it has very SNES style graphics and gameplay. Would have been sweet
Imagine living in the south of Spain. The game is based on the catholic iconography and art from there. In the game is a bit more bizarre.
if this in the 90's it will be in the banned game list
“Ten piedad” is “Have Mercy” in spanish... So creepy
Definitely fits in the Mercy Dreams region of the game.
Hahaha
Tres angustias Three heartaches
It's not creepy. I find most of the stuff uninspired as a Spanish person.
They could have named one of the bosses "Pene Sagrado" and You guys would be acting all philosophical about it lol
Breaker
By “Uninspired” you mean that the name is not like meaningful?
Idk if this is true but I heard from this comment section that La Piedad was a Miguel Angel sculpture of Jesus crucified being carried in the arms of his mother... Like in the way you encounter the boss
This dude was raised playing on the computer.
I'm so obsessed with pixel art. I could watch these all day. What an art.
Combine DOOM,Silent Hill and Blasphemous together=
HELL OF HELL
Man, i didn't know pixel art could be so smooth.
It almost look i'm playing a 3d game
Exceptional work here
Pixel art is pretty straightforward... the Frames Per Second is what makes it smooth. Just imagine how many layers of pixel drawings it takes just to make a simple move animation for a single sprite. This is tedius hard work for artists. But it is rewarding when it's done as you can see in this game.
Pretty sure half of the things were traced after they've made 3d models. It's like putting a 4bir raster filter over it
@@HaohmaruHL That's an economical way to do it. We really wouldn't know. I never thought of the 3D approach. My mind was set on some volunteers or actors moving on a green screen and using some footages and freedom of interpretation once it is post processed. But some animators do that too.
@@PitchaxisT I don't really understand art drawing but I do love 2D gaming and wondered how they make such a smooth movement out of some...the process I mean....like two fighting games Garou mark of the wolves and street fighter 3 had amazing smooth movement and cloth animation...Castlevania which is obviously this game got it's inspiration from...the symphony of the night has amazing movement as well...
@@HaohmaruHL Nope, devs confirmed all animations were done on a traditional way without 3d moddeling. Its fucking insane.
That is the best blocking sound I’ve ever heard
So I have never heard of nor seen this game until now. However, after watching this, I've realized something... This game is what happens if you try to turn any European heavy death metal band's album into a video game... Each track is a boss name and the lyrics are the story.
Very cool.
Fun fact:
"Ten piedad" its named after michael angelo's famous statue "la piedad" wich is the Virgin Mary embracing Jesús after his crucifixion, at the start of the battle the way the boss is presented ressembles la piedad a lot
The statue is named "la pietà"
Davide is that the statue where Mary and Jesus look disfigured. Like Mary is huge and Jesus is tiny
"Ten piedad" just means "have mercy" in spanish
Michael angelo is a guitarist
The artist is called Michelangelo
Creepy as hell.
What an interesting game and art direction!! I really love just all the visuals, gorey or not. The music fits well with the scenes.
I’ve been putting this off for a while, but I want to thank you for getting me into hollow knight. Best game I’ve ever played. Thank you.
I absolutely adore this art style. I wished it was used more often.
Gellot: So I’ve noticed that this new really hard game has come out like a day ago, so I guess it’s time to post a video on the entire game.

Kudos to the Developers
4:50 Me: Oh it's the Pietá
*rips head off*
Me: OHHHHH SHI-
Damn this game looks stunning! The fifth boss is incredibly creepy
Her story is kinda creepy too. She was so beautiful that the surrounding townspeople worshipped her as a manifestation of divinity, so to avoid the heresy of being a false idol she burned her face with boiling oil to sacrifice her beauty to the divine. Then the Grievous Miracle cursed her that her face would always be simmering and burning as though she just poured the oil, and seeing the works of the Miracle, the townspeople continued to worship her as a saint, with the Convent of Our Lady of the Charred Visage being established in her honor, where faithful nuns trekked up the mountains to the convent and burned their faces in the same way
This world is messed up
The soundtrack still gives me chills
This game makes me think of a mix between Dante's hell and Castlevania
Dante's Inferno? Is that a different game?
I thought that to.
I believe you mean Dante's Inferno.
Dark soul + Castlevania
Same about the Castlevania part
this game reminds me of the Castlevania series, I think thats why im in love.
Same this is like castlevania x dark souls
There is a whole genre about these types of games
its called Metroidvania games
Thats great when developers can see the difference between difficulty and unfairity
The way the gold is on the "Our Lady of the Charred Visage" reminds me a bit of a scene in Game of Thrones where Khal Drogo kills Viserys in a way. Also with boiling gold.
