The Ultimate Blasphemous 2 Weapon Tier List: Unleashing Unbeatable Power!

Highlights

Blasphemous 2 introduces three new powerful weapons that can be switched during battle and used to solve puzzles.

The Ruego Al Alba, a one-handed blade, is a well-balanced weapon that combines decent speed and combo damage with the ability to lifesteal.

The Sarmiento and Centella provide opportunities for cutting and delivering critical strikes using a sword and dagger. However, players must exercise caution to avoid enemy counterattacks.

In Blasphemous 2, the Penitent One once again faces The Miracle. However, without the Mea Culpa, the Penitent One requires a powerful weapon to confront any obstacles in his path. Luckily, the game features three new weapons that possess immense power and can be interchanged during battles, as well as used to solve various puzzles.

But when it comes to effectiveness, versatility, and overall appeal, which of the Penitent One's new weapons truly reigns supreme in combating a diverse array of enemies and formidable bosses? With options ranging from wielding a sword and dagger to utilizing a remarkable church-related implement, there are intriguing choices available. Nevertheless, in Blasphemous 2, certain weapons surpass others in terms of performance, even within the limited selection of three.

3 Ruego Al Alba

The Ruego Al Alba serves as the Mea Culpa's counterpart in this game. It is a single-handed blade that allows for wide-ranging attacks against enemies. Inherited from the Mea Culpa, the Ruego Al Alba possesses some of its predecessor's abilities, including a combo string. Players who opt for this weapon at the beginning of the game can execute a three-hit combo right from the start, as well as a powerful dive attack called Weight of Sin, which grows in strength depending on the player's height in the air.

In terms of handling, the Ruego Al Alba is the most well-balanced among the three weapons. Its strikes are reasonably fast, and its combos increase in damage if each strike lands on the intended target. Additionally, it features Blood Pact, which can be activated once its meter is filled. When activated, players can restore health by striking enemies with the Ruego Al Alba while the meter remains active. Blood Pact also unlocks new abilities, but players must use Marks of Martyrdom to upgrade its Weapon Memories in order to access them.

2 Sarmiento and Centella

For players seeking faster cuts and swift strikes, the ideal weapon to begin with is the Sarmiento and Centella. This weapon enables the Penitent One to dual-wield a sword and dagger, delivering a series of rapid hits that can critically strike. Additionally, it inherits the lunging attack from the Mea Culpa, granting players the ability to swiftly close the distance and preemptively strike enemies. However, users of this weapon must exercise discipline, as they risk receiving retaliatory strikes if they mindlessly attack opponents without caution.

The Sarmiento and Centella is also infused with lightning. By continuously striking enemies, the weapon becomes empowered, eventually reaching a threshold where it inflicts additional lightning elemental damage. Its Weapon Memories further enhance its effectiveness, rendering it a formidable force once activated. However, players must remain vigilant, as a single hit from an enemy will nullify the weapon's charges. When traversing the game world, this weapon is essential for navigating specific areas as players explore each section of the map. In time-sensitive platform puzzles, players must develop the muscle memory to swiftly switch between this weapon and others, ensuring that they can efficiently complete tasks with speed and ease.

1 Veredicto

The Veredicto is a large censer wielded by the Penitent One like a morning star. It is the slowest of the three weapons, but it compensates with its strength and range. It may take some time to master the Veredicto's swinging arcs, but once players become familiar with it, this weapon can swiftly dispatch enemies. As a ball-and-chain, it is especially effective against flying foes. By kneeling down and repeatedly attacking, players can increase the Veredicto's damage output, although they must be close to their target for it to be successful. This attack proves useful against bosses due to its variety of moves.

Furthermore, the Veredicto possesses fire attacks that can be accessed by upgrading its Weapon Memories. These fiery attacks deal explosive damage, making them ideal for clearing out groups of enemies. Charging the swing of the Veredicto results in a devastating smash, while its upgraded form creates a rippling effect in a specific direction. In certain puzzles, the Veredicto is essential for activating bells that create floating metal platforms and open steel doors. This versatility makes it an invaluable weapon to have at hand.
