All 60 PS5 trophies are covered. The platinum uses the 46 base trophies. Mea Culpa adds nine and requires the paid expansion. The Third Sin adds five through the free update. Complete the expanded-world cleanup before ascending a save. The prisoner has two mutually exclusive outcomes. Update the game before starting, as older builds have collectible counters, boss rewards and completion issues.

Your route to completion

Start a normal new game and choose the weapon you prefer. I recommend Veredicto for its reach, then collect Sarmiento & Centella and Ruego Al Alba so every early traversal route is available. This Roadmap uses broad hunting stages, not the game's own chapters. Follow them in order and open the linked entries in Trophies when you need the full boss, quest or collectible steps. For expansion solutions, set Trophy groups to All trophies and expand the relevant add-on group. Use Reveal trophy when a hidden entry is protected.

First obtain wall climbing in Profundo Lamento, complete the three Regrets, and defeat Afilaor for double jump. Then work through the five-dove route, collecting air dash and the golden-ring ability. Pick up Broken Step in the expanded Choir of Thorns before the final collectible sweep. Keep rotating the three original weapons and execute stunned enemies as you travel.

Try Flawless Penance against Radamés early. If you are hit, let the attempt end before killing him and retry. Leave A Sharp Rendezvous for a new save after learning the map. It only needs the approach to Afilaor, so our main run has no time limit.

Before resolving Two Moons, give Yerma the Holy Oil and accept her help. Before resolving the Mea Culpa prisoner, read Cruel Compassion. Free him on this run. Executing him closes that branch, and buying his figure later does not award the rescue trophy.

Finish the base side quests and obtain Ending B, then reload for Ending A. Both are available on one save. Mea Culpa adds a third ending and its own cleanup, while The Third Sin adds the castle, servants and skins. Both expansions can be explored from the existing save. Complete their stages before the final True Martyrdom and Consummate Collector checks, because an old base-game checklist may leave the expanded save short.

Keep the completed normal save. If the all-items trophy still needs True Torment rewards, copy it to another available slot, ascend that copy and use the challenge setup in its solution. Execute the prisoner on that second run for the other branch. A save backup can shorten the prisoner work, but it does not replace any missing True Torment rewards. Finish with the fresh-save 30-minute run.

Goal Route
Platinum Normal completion, both base endings, collectible cleanup and a short fresh-save speedrun
All 60 trophies Add both expansions, both prisoner outcomes and the full all-items check
Online Nothing required
Difficulty Normal play has no selectable trophy difficulty. True Torment challenge rewards matter to the all-items route
Returning after an ending Continue the save to return before the last encounter. Ascending is a separate choice that resets progression

Before setting out

A Prie Dieu is a save and refill point. Resting also respawns ordinary enemies. Tears of Atonement pay for shops and services. Marks of Martyrdom buy original weapon skills and altarpiece capacity, so collect the urns as well as the marks earned in combat.

An unexplored map edge has no closed border. Mark things you cannot yet reach, then remove the marker only after collecting them. Gold chests hold permanent rewards. Some pickups lock the room until you clear a wave fight. If a timed gate closes, return to its statue or bell and reset the route.

With default PlayStation inputs, jump with Cross button, attack with Square button, dodge with R2 buttonR2, and cast a Quick Verse with Circle button. Hold D-pad down and press Circle button for your equipped Chant. Use the controls shown in your own settings if you have remapped them. Sarmiento & Centella activate mirrors, Veredicto rings bells, and Ruego Al Alba's downward attack breaks fleshy barriers when you fall from enough height.

Completion and update problems

The small base collection trophies and the overall save percentage are different checks. On expanded saves, players report needing the free-update map, prayers, figures and weapon upgrades for the overall 100% trophy. Finish those before treating a high percentage as a broken save.

For an old save, install the latest available PS5 update, load it, rest, and revisit any outstanding quest reward. Earlier updates corrected several counters and boss-reward problems. Do not delete or ascend a completed save to try to force a trophy. Keep a separate copy first. If a boss died at the same time as you and its trophy or key is missing, that is a reported reward issue rather than a reason to repeat every collectible.

Find your footing and complete the three Regrets

Reach the City of the Blessed Name and visit Montañés beside the Prie Dieu for your altarpiece. Drop into Profundo Lamento, defeat the guarding swordsman, speak with Yerma and collect Ivy of Ascension from the collapsing-floor route. Use the new wall climb to loop back to the city. Take Mirabras of the Return to Port from the balcony beside the lift on this loop.

Open the eastern city and visit Our Lady of the Chalices below the ladder. Return here whenever you find Empty Receptacles, Ornate Chalices or Silver-Clad Crystal Shards. In the upper city, lower the portal shortcut so returning is straightforward.

Explore Aqueduct of the Costales into Sacred Entombments for Veredicto, Grilles and Ruin into the Palace of the Embroideries for Sarmiento & Centella, and Choir of Thorns into Crown of Towers for Ruego Al Alba. Your starting weapon's shrine gives a figure instead. These areas contain the three Regret bosses. Clear all three to lower the structure above the city.

I would try Radamés for Flawless Penance, using the fire prayer and Veredicto. Accept Yerma's help when offered. Start Hide and Seek as you find the hidden sisters, and switch weapons regularly for the three 300-kill trophies.

In Sacred Entombments, kill at least one hand emerging from the sand before draining the area. Treat differently coloured or equipped enemies as separate types and kill one of each for Nobody Expects the Spanish Inquisition!.

A Thousand Years Later

silver · unmissable

Defeat the Faceless One, Chisel of Oblivion.

The first boss waits beyond the opening Prie Dieu in Repose of the Silent One.

Keep a little distance and watch the wheel. When he throws it from the air, move beneath its path and attack after it passes. When he rolls it along the floor, jump over it. Take a few hits between attacks rather than standing in front of him and trading damage. If you die, the nearby Prie Dieu puts you back before the fight.

This tutorial encounter cannot award Flawless Penance.

Defeat the Great Preceptor Radamés.

Radamés is at the bottom of Sacred Entombments. Break the sand mechanisms on the branching routes until the central shaft is clear enough to reach him. Rest at the lower Prie Dieu and speak to Yerma outside if you want assistance.

His charge is the main opening. Climb the side wall, jump over him and attack while he is stuck against it. Give his bone swings room and use Peteneras to the Burial of the Lights while he is stationary.

When he stands up, his charge reaches higher and rocks fall after the impact. Wait for the debris before moving back in. Keep avoiding the floor waves and purple projectiles, then punish the next recovery. Veredicto's reach helps you hit without standing under his body.

If you want Flawless Penance here, abandon any attempt where you take damage before landing the killing blow.

Defeat Orospina of the Confraternity of Embroiderers.

Orospina waits below the great cocoon in the Palace of the Embroideries. Loop through both sides of the palace and cut the supports holding the cocoon so it breaks the floor. Rest before dropping into the arena.

Watch her blue slash warning and move out of that space before attacking. Her ordinary thrust can be parried with a sword. Give the charged full-width dash priority over your combo, as it needs a dodge or jump rather than a block.

Later, stay ready for repeated dashes and the airborne projectile patterns. Move through the gaps before chasing her. Hit her after the final pass or when she lands from the threads. A short, repeatable punish is safer than attempting a full combo every time she appears.

Defeat Lesmes of the Confraternity of Incorruptible Flesh.

Earlier PS5 builds could fail to award the trophy or boss marks after the fight. Update first and check the reward immediately, particularly after a simultaneous death.

This is the three-part fight at the top of Crown of Towers. Bring fire resistance and keep some healing for the last part.

First fight Lesmes alone. Move away from his landing marker, avoid the flame columns and punish after his coffin slam. When he becomes a floating head surrounded by fire, concentrate on avoiding the moving orbs.

Next fight the Sleeping Infanta. Close the distance after the homing blades pass and use quick attacks to end this phase.

The final part brings both back. I recommend focusing on the Infanta so you remove the ranged pressure first. Watch Lesmes while attacking her and leave the flame markers before they erupt. Once she falls, return to the same careful pattern used in the first phase.

If the boss and your character die together, check that the trophy and Regret were awarded before moving on. Earlier PS5 builds had reward problems after simultaneous deaths.

SourcesBlasphemous Wiki: Lesmes · Gamer Walkthroughs: Crown of Towers

Flawless Penance

silver · missable

After the first fight, defeat any boss without receiving damage.

Win a boss fight without taking damage. The opening Faceless One does not count.

I recommend Radamés in Sacred Entombments. Equip Veredicto, The Purified One if available and Peteneras to the Burial of the Lights. Clear Guilt so you can cast. Accept Yerma's help outside.

Stay away from the front of his attacks, climb the side wall to avoid the charge and punish while he is stuck. Cast Peteneras along the ground when he is stationary, then retreat. In the standing phase, wait for the falling rocks before attacking again.

If you take damage, stop trying to win that attempt. Let him kill you and retry, otherwise you use up that early boss opportunity. Do not activate Ruego Al Alba's health-consuming Blood Pact during a no-damage attempt.

The final boss remains repeatable after an ending, so it is another possible target with a full build. The newer Boss Gallery also has player reports of this trophy unlocking, but I would use the early Radamés route instead of relying on that behaviour.

Ignore old advice that depends on permanent time-stop loops or hurting bosses before the fight begins. Later updates changed those interactions.

Welcome Back!

bronze

Fall into spikes and survive.

With enough health to survive, drop into a visible spike pit during normal play. Spikes remove health and return you to a safe edge. Survive that damage for the trophy.

Avoid testing this with almost no health or a True Torment condition that makes the same hazard lethal. It is easiest to do on the normal run.

Happy New Year!

bronze · optional

Toll a bell 12 times.

Stand beside a bell you can hit with Veredicto and keep striking it until it has tolled at least twelve times. A ground-level bell on the Profundo Lamento or Aqueduct route is convenient.

Use the same bell and keep the hits going. If the trophy has not appeared after twelve strikes, continue a few more rather than moving to another bell.

SourcesSteam Community: base achievement reference

Open the five-dove route

With all three original weapons, descend through Profundo Lamento into Mother of Mothers. Use bells, mirrors and Ruego Al Alba's plunging attack to reach Beneath Her Sacred Grounds. Defeat Afilaor and collect Passage of Ash beyond him.

Double jump opens the climb into Elevated Temples. Follow the marked route through Crown of Towers for Mercy of the Wind, then cross the blue barriers into the Basilica of Absent Faces. Defeat Benedicta, cross the Sea of Ink, and defeat Odón in the Sunken Cathedral. Continue through Labyrinth of Tides into The Severed Tower for Scions' Protection and Sínodo.

Return to the city between major areas. Find at least six Cobijadas and pay the Mayor's successive tributes for travel between Prie Dieu. That is the biggest time saver for cleanup.

Before completing Two Moons, collect the Holy Oil in Elevated Temples and give it to Yerma before the scene that opens Svsona's mirror. Accept her assistance. The exact route and recovery if she dies are in Fermosa Fembra.

Collect Broken Step from the expanded Choir of Thorns. It lets you stand briefly on the glass platforms used by several updated collectible routes. The movement ability locations are collected under Ultima Ratio.

On your first visit to Besamanos, the floating hand in Streets of Wakes, refuse to kneel through his repeated requests. You can still hand over Fervent Kisses. This preserves his optional bonus Fervour reward. Take the Broken Key from the Confessor after all five Kisses and use it behind the hand.

The Sharpest Tool in the Shed

silver · unmissable

Defeat the Sentinel of the Emery.

Afilaor is at the bottom of Beneath Her Sacred Grounds, reached through Mother of Mothers using all three original weapon traversal mechanics. Rest nearby and accept Yerma's help if desired.

He sharpens his blade before a major slash. Parry the ordinary sword strike or dodge through it, then take a short punish. His spinning charge returns more often in later phases, so do not attack after the first pass.

When he throws knives, use the warning points to stand clear of their paths. During the background weapon rain, keep moving and be ready for his landing. As his blade improves, expect longer attack strings and fewer safe pauses. Heal after a completed string, not during his sharpening animation.

After winning, continue beyond the arena to collect Passage of Ash. That is the double jump needed for the next stage.

Spoiler: reveal trophy

The Last Ascension

silver · unmissable

Defeat Benedicta of the Confraternity of Endless Orison.

Benedicta is at the top of the Basilica of Absent Faces. Obtain Mercy of the Wind from the connected Crown of Towers route before climbing the Basilica's blue barriers.

This arena wraps from one side to the other. Use that to escape a row of incoming spiked vessels, then land safely on a chandelier. Veredicto can reach Benedicta when she drops below the platform.

Move sideways out of vertical attacks and avoid the homing faces before attempting another hit. At the phase change, leave the chandelier whose chain is being cut. The rest of the fight uses one platform, so save your double jump and air dash for a safe landing instead of spending both on an attack.

Do not build the route around casting a summon before the fight. Later updates removed several ways of damaging or freezing bosses before their encounters properly begin.

The Sea dies on the Shore

silver · unmissable

Defeat Odón of the Confraternity of Salt.

The first encounter with Odón in the Sea of Ink is only an introduction. The trophy comes from defeating him in the Sunken Cathedral.

Jump the advancing spear waves, dodge away from his marked landing and wait out the follow-up water wave. His quick halberd thrust can be parried, but do not assume every halberd movement can.

Clear summoned lancers when they threaten your escape space. When Odón raises the protecting banner, attacks on the shielded lancers will not help. Move safely and attack Odón when you have an opening, or wait for the protection to end.

Veredicto gives useful reach. A prayer that hits a group can clear soldiers and damage Odón together. Avoid standing behind him for a long combo, as he can turn into a counterattack.

Forged in Fire

silver · unmissable

Defeat Sínodo, Hymn of a Thousand Voices.

Sínodo waits in The Severed Tower after the route to Scions' Protection. Obtain the golden-ring ability first, because the final phase uses those rings to keep you off the floor.

Attack the main head. Different faces produce different patterns, so break off when a face changes instead of continuing a long combo. Watch the gaps between fire streams and jump the attacks moving along the ground.

When the covered female face lowers to heal, use the opening for sustained damage. Save Fervour for that window if you are struggling to interrupt the recovery.

At very low health the floor burns continuously. Stay on the golden rings, air dash through the travelling flame pillar and only drop for a controlled attack if you can return to safety. Fire and miasma resistance are useful here.

Fermosa Fembra

silver · unmissable

Defeat Svsona, Fermosa Fembra.

Svsona is behind the sealed mirror in Two Moons. The two versions of the area connect through the fountains. Follow those loops to the room above the boss mirror, where the scene makes the mirror breakable.

Before entering that scene, help Yerma. With Scions' Protection, return to Elevated Temples. From its western Prie Dieu, descend toward the left-side exterior route and cross the golden rings to the Holy Oil of Everlasting Anointment. Give it to Yerma outside Svsona's room and accept her help. If she dies, Casto later sells the prayer you missed, while her body provides the alternative bead.

Equip lightning resistance. Watch the cherubs' cloth warning and use the provided cover against the sweeping beam. Dash through the moving lightning walls one at a time. While Svsona is stationary, attack with Ruego Al Alba or Veredicto and retreat before the next pattern. Avoid chasing her through active projectiles.

After winning, claim Yerma's reward and inspect the room before leaving.

Unlock all Abilities.

Collect the original traversal abilities, then Broken Step on the expanded route:

Ability Where it comes from
Ivy of Ascension Profundo Lamento, after the floor collapses near Yerma's first encounter. Lets you climb marked metal walls
Passage of Ash Continue beyond Afilaor in Beneath Her Sacred Grounds. Gives double jump
Mercy of the Wind Crown of Towers on the route connected to the Basilica entrance. Gives air dash and passage through blue barriers
Scions' Protection Upper The Severed Tower, before Sínodo. Reveals golden rings you can grab
Broken Step Expanded Choir of Thorns. Follow the glass-platform route from the lower portal side and plunge through the horizontal fleshy barrier to its statue

Interact with the ability statue rather than only entering the room. Broken Step is important for updated collectible routes even if the original ability trophy has already unlocked. For a crossing, keep moving and jump before a glass platform disappears beneath you.

Finish the base quests and both endings

Use the movement abilities for a full return sweep. Finish the 33 cherubs, nine Cobijadas, ten hidden symbols, five battle challenges, seven Remembrances, Cursed Letters and all original weapon upgrades. The linked trophy entries contain the individual routes and item lists.

Start with the hidden symbols in Still Among Us. Their currency rewards help pay for the city shop, the Mayor, Casto and the travelling merchants. Keep checking the Confessor after paying to remove genuine Guilt. Take the five tools back to the sculptor and claim the later workshop reward after leaving and returning.

Climb Crimson Rains and defeat Eviterno. For the first ending, decline the incense offering and defeat Incarnate Devotion for Second Psalm. Continue the save afterwards. Arrange the four Envoy figures, burn them in the Chapel of the Five Doves, then offer the incense and defeat the final boss again for Canvas of Light and Time.

Do not ascend yet. Continue from the pre-finale save to complete both expansions and any percentage cleanup. Burning the four Envoys is part of the intended route, not an instruction to replace them with another playthrough.

The Penitent Two

Unlock every trophy in the base group. The nine Mea Culpa trophies and five The Third Sin trophies are separate from the platinum.

For a final check, look for the two base endings, all three original weapon trees, the no-damage boss trophy, the short speedrun and True Martyrdom. A 100% map by itself does not complete the inventory or the weapon skills.

The Wait is Over

silver · unmissable

Defeat Eviterno, Father of the Penitents.

Eviterno waits at the top of Crimson Rains. Bring your health and flask upgrades, strong physical defence for the sword phase, and an upgraded weapon you can use without overcommitting.

In the first phase, move through the gaps in the projectile arcs. Strike the green homing projectile back to stun him. Air dash through the lightning walls and jump over the spreading floor fire after his large fireball.

The sword phase is much faster. Stay close enough to recognize the combo, dodge through him when the slash commits, and wait for the full sequence to finish before answering. One or two safe hits are enough. Chasing every teleport is a common way to get caught by the next swing.

When the previous bosses appear in the dark sequence, survive their attacks, then dodge Eviterno's large finishing slash. Resume short punishes afterwards. Heal during a genuine recovery window rather than while he is preparing his next teleport.

Winning grants Crisanta's Remembrance. Take it back to the sculptor for The Work of a Master.

A Heart of Gold

silver · unmissable

Defeat the Devotion Incarnate, the last child of the Miracle.

After Eviterno, interact with the body to ascend to Incarnate Devotion. Your incense choice determines the ending, so read Second Psalm or Canvas of Light and Time before accepting.

Damage the golden heart when its barrier is down. When four flowers appear, destroy all four before returning to the heart. They can regrow if you take too long, so clear the pair on your side and then move across.

Use the raised platforms while the floor burns. Jump the explosions and dodge through the advancing vertical flames with room left to land. Stop attacking when a warning appears under you. The heart is stationary, so Veredicto's reach and a well-timed damage prayer work well.

After the credits, continue the same save to return before the finale. You can finish quests and fight this boss again for another ending.

SourcesBlasphemous Wiki: Incarnate Devotion

Canvas of Light and Time

gold · optional · collectible

Unlock Ending A.

You can earn this after Ending B on the same save. We need four Envoy figures:

Figure How to obtain it
Cierzo Spend all three Forgotten Tributes with the Procession of Shadows and open the chest at the final Severed Tower stop
Gregal Free all 33 cherubs, climb the Garden of the High Choirs, then climb the concealed left wall above the Giant Rattle room
Lebeche Complete the fifth Mistress of Mourning battle challenge
Jaloque Buy it from Medardo and Escolástico at the start of Crimson Rains

Find the three Forgotten Tributes

I would collect the coins during the normal return sweep. Bring Veredicto, Sarmiento & Centella and Broken Step for the updated Sacred Entombments route.

  1. Sea of Ink: Take the western Profundo Lamento lift down towards the sea. Leave the lift to the left and follow the broken bridge to its end. Collect the coin lying there. You can do this before the cathedral route opens.
  2. Sacred Entombments: Start at the upper entrance Prie Dieu and enter the long sand-shaft room to its right. Ring the bell at the lower-left side of that room. Climb the temporary platforms towards the upper-right gate. Continue through the next bell-platform climb to the ledge with the Cloth of the Old Woman. Use the mirror above that ledge and cross the glass bridge with Broken Step to the Tribute. If the bell platforms disappear, return and ring the bell again before attempting the climb.
  3. Labyrinth of Tides: From the western Prie Dieu, travel four rooms left to the tall room where the path divides. Descend and take its lower-right exit into the large square maze. Work towards the middle and slide through the low opening into the dark central pocket. Collect the coin inside.

Ride the Procession of Shadows

The carriage changes location after every payment. Each journey costs one Tribute. The coins are interchangeable, so you can travel as soon as you find one or collect all three first.

  1. First boarding point, western Choir of Thorns: Start at the western entrance Prie Dieu, reached from Grilles and Ruin. Go one room right. Climb the tall room instead of taking its low crawlspace, then use the upper-left exit to find the carriage. Speak with its rider and agree to pay a Tribute.
  2. First arrival, Profundo Lamento: Walk right to the Prie Dieu and collect the nearby Abandoned Rosary Knot. Rest to open the gate. The carriage remains in this arrival room until you give it the next Tribute.
  3. Second arrival, isolated Choir of Thorns: Rest at the nearby Prie Dieu to open the passage to its portal room and the Two Moons connection. Give the carriage your third Tribute when ready.
  4. Final arrival, The Severed Tower: Open the chest for Cierzo. Rest to open the exit gate, then explore the passage on the right for the hidden Cobijada and timed mark pickup.

If you already took a journey, return to its arrival room for the carriage. It does not reset to the first Choir room. After all three journeys, revisit the vacated boarding rooms for six Marks of Martyrdom: one in western Choir, two in Profundo Lamento and three in the isolated Choir stop.

Arrange the Envoys and finish the ending

Equip them in the four paired sections so their portraits face the middle: Cierzo upper left, Gregal upper right, Lebeche lower left and Jaloque lower right. They glow gold when correctly positioned.

Return to the top of the Chapel of the Five Doves. Enter the door on the right and interact with the brazier. The figures burn and become Incense of the Envoys.

Return to Eviterno's body and agree to offer the incense before ascending. Defeat Incarnate Devotion. For this ending, leave the Mea Culpa ending setup unequipped so you do not trigger Ending C instead.

Burning the figures is expected. Complete their collection steps before this, and keep exploring on the same save afterwards.

Unlock Ending B.

Defeat Incarnate Devotion without offering Incense of the Envoys at the ascent prompt after Eviterno.

I recommend doing this ending first. It needs no Envoy collection. If you already hold the incense, choose to deny the offering. Afterwards, continue the save to return before the last fight and follow Canvas of Light and Time.

If you have already earned Ending A or C, you can still return, decline the offering and beat the final boss again.

The lullaby quest

Collect five Unfinished Lullaby pieces:

  1. Sacred Entombments: in a hidden right-wall alcove along the sand-lowering route.
  2. Crown of Towers: above the mirror sequence west of the portal room.
  3. Crown of Towers: beside the descending lifts. Climb the left wall and jump to the item ledge.
  4. Basilica of Absent Faces: take the lower-right branch off the long central climb and cross past the two painting enemies.
  5. The Severed Tower: crawl through the upper-left hole in the square chamber opposite a blue barrier.

They combine into the Lullaby of the White Shore. From Profundo Lamento's lower Prie Dieu, go left, descend and enter the mother's side room. Hand it over, then interact again to enter the Dream. Keep moving right, jumping the hazards until you reach the light. Claim the prayer when you return. Failing the platforming sequence lets you try again.

If the trophy stays locked, check Yerma's alternative reward at Casto and make sure you actually collected the Dream reward. A prayer's chest being visible on the map is not enough.

Exploration figures

Figure Route
The Ecstatic Novice Chest in the building above the sculptor. Access the city rooftops using the bell, mirrors and lift on the right
Nacimiento Ravine of the High Stones, under the breakable fleshy floor reached from the lower Aqueduct return route
The Purified One Aqueduct's western upper path. Kill the large guard beside the gold chest
The Thurifer Lower Sacred Entombments. Break the hanging cage's chain, land on it and crawl left to the chest
The Pilgrim Enter the first building east of the western Grilles and Ruin Prie Dieu. Double jump through the upper-left opening to the balcony
The Tempest Room left of Cástula and Trifón. Raise the mirror with the statue, then keep striking it to reach the upper chest
The Alchemist Palace room east of Orospina. Enter from the right and plunge through the roots, then clear the battle
The Guide Eastern Crown of Towers. Arrange the three moving platforms as steps, activate the timed door and climb to the chest
The Pillager Labyrinth of Tides, two rooms right from the western Prie Dieu. Clear the room, use the left statue, ring the lower-right bell and climb the temporary platforms. Slide through the timed gate to the chest
The Demented One Elevated Temples, above the corridor with stone-throwing enemies. Climb the available metal wall to the chest

The Maiden and The Unwavering One

In the expanded Choir of Thorns, start at the Prie Dieu beside the glass bridge. Cross with Broken Step, use the mirrors and break the fleshy barrier to reach the man in honey. Speak to him for The Maiden.

Equip it during ordinary combat and check its name periodically. Once it becomes The Broken Maiden, return to the man for a repair. Repeat until three repairs transform it into The Unwavering One. Keeping a broken figure equipped without returning will not finish the chain.

Complete the collection before burning the four Envoys for Ending A if possible. Their ashes are part of the ending route, so do not start another save simply because those four portraits change. If this is your last collectible trophy, check the figures obtained through the sculptor and the final tribute as well as unopened chests.

Second Pilgrimage

bronze · collectible

Reveal the entire base game's map.

Earlier updates had map-percentage problems. Install the current PS5 update and preserve the save before troubleshooting.

Reveal the original world map. This means entering its rooms and uncovering their map squares, not collecting every item in them.

Finish the story route, then sweep with all movement abilities. Look for an open edge where a room's gold border stops. Visit both sides of Two Moons and complete the three Procession of Shadows trips, since their isolated stops are easy to overlook.

Check the hidden Cobijada rooms, the Cursed Letters room in Mother of Mothers, the top of the Garden of the High Choirs and the brazier room for Ending A. The long routes back into Sacred Entombments and Crown of Towers also contain rooms that the main story can skip.

The displayed map percentage can include expansion rooms. The original-map trophy can therefore unlock before that number reads 100%. For the full expanded map, continue with Dedicated Explorer. Use the map to identify missing entrances instead of revisiting already closed rooms at random.

For the isolated Profundo Lamento, Choir of Thorns and Severed Tower rooms, follow the three Tribute pickups and carriage journeys in Canvas of Light and Time. Rest at each arrival Prie Dieu to open its gate before checking the neighbouring rooms.

Acquired Taste

bronze · collectible · optional

Unlock all Bile Flasks.

Take four Empty Receptacles to Our Lady of the Chalices in the City of the Blessed Name. They increase your two starting flasks to six.

Receptacle Route
Profundo Lamento Loop back upward after getting wall climb. Beside the ladder shortcut to the city, cross right into the enclosed pickup room and win the battle
Elevated Temples From the first Prie Dieu, head right and climb the isolated tower using its ladder and mirrors
Streets of Wakes Complete the Mistress of Mourning's third battle. Find three daughters first
The Severed Tower From the upper part of the tower, descend toward the large square room and open the gate from the room directly below, then use Scions' Protection to reach its upper-right battle chamber

The challenge-room pickup is only secured after you survive its waves. If you die, return and complete it again. Hand every receptacle in and accept the upgrade. Merely carrying the fourth one does not finish the flask capacity.

For the Mistress's daughter routes, see House of Grief and Hatred. The golden expansion flask is a different quest.

  3. Profundo Lamento: follow the first carriage journey in Canvas of Light and Time, then collect the knot beside the arrival Prie Dieu.
  4. Elevated Temples: take the lower branch off the western temple route and use double jump to reach the knot's alcove.

No Cherub Left Behind

bronze · collectible · optional

Free Próximo’s brothers.

Older builds could miscount rescues. Update before comparing all 33 locations, and check the updated glass-platform routes.

Break all 33 cages. Any attack that reaches the cage works, including a ranged prayer. The rescue jingle and counter confirm the pickup. Golden rings and glass platforms are different mechanics, so collect Scions' Protection and Broken Step before the final sweep.

The numbering below is just our checklist order.

# Area Landmark and approach
1 Ravine of the High Stones On the ledge route before the city, jump left to the visible cage
2 Ravine of the High Stones In the western cave, ring the concealed ceiling bell and climb its wall plus golden rings
3 City Crawl into the right-wall gap beside the ladder down to Our Lady of the Chalices
4 City Above the western building. Climb the ladder, reach the roof and jump right from the doorway ledge
5 City Eastern bell climb. Reach the right wall, climb to the high ledge and jump left
6 Profundo Lamento Ring the bell right of its Prie Dieu and cross the opened gate
7 Grilles and Ruin Cross the upper glass-platform route. Broken Step makes the crossing straightforward
8 Palace of the Embroideries Go right from the eastern Prie Dieu and strike the mirrors upward, then attack the cage above
9 Aqueduct Ring the bell in the first room from the city and climb its right-side platforms
10 Aqueduct On the right after the high ladder beyond the spike passage
11 Aqueduct Lower return route after Radamés. Raise the movable platform, ring the lower bell and race through the upper gate
12 Sacred Entombments Climb the right wall near the upper Prie Dieu, then double jump and air dash left over the central space
13 Choir of Thorns In the forest near the western approach, concealed by foreground foliage above the stone platform
14 Choir of Thorns High forest route shortly before Crown of Towers, above the last stone pillar
15 Crown of Towers Above the central Prie Dieu, reached by wall climb and double jump
16 Crown of Towers High room beside the blue barriers on the Basilica-connected side
17 Streets of Wakes Approach from the central shaft's upper-left exit, then follow the high platforms back toward Profundo Lamento
18 Mother of Mothers Bell room below the eastern upper route. Ring, climb left and jump right from the temporary platforms
19 Mother of Mothers West of the lower Prie Dieu. Use the mirrors to reach the cage over the gap
20 Beneath Her Sacred Grounds From this area's Prie Dieu, take the upper-right route to the empty chamber. Climb its right wall and double jump or air dash left with Veredicto's long swing
21 Elevated Temples Main ascent above the city, right of the mirror landing. Attack while dropping from the right ledge
22 Elevated Temples Descent toward the Garden of the High Choirs, beneath a left-side platform
23 Elevated Temples Large western chamber. Use its mirrors to reach the upper centre
24 Elevated Temples Eastern exterior. From the ladder's right platform, double jump and dash to the lone climbable wall
25 Basilica of Absent Faces After Benedicta, ride the chandelier lift back up and jump onto its roof
26 Sea of Ink High above the cathedral stairs. Stand underneath and cast Debla of the Lights
27 Sunken Cathedral Upper-left corner of the chamber by the ladder shortcut. Jump from its high right platform
28 Labyrinth of Tides Large western maze room. Crawl through its upper gaps and continue through the concealed final gap on the right
29 Labyrinth of Tides Just before The Severed Tower. Jump back left from the top of the wax slope
30 The Severed Tower Room above the lowest Prie Dieu. Climb the golden rings to the Tears chest and break the right wall
31 The Severed Tower From that lower connecting room, break the wall leading toward the Sunken Cathedral shortcut
32 Two Moons Reflected large chamber above the enemies. Jump from the side ledge and cast Bleeding Miracle across the gap
33 Two Moons Return through the lower reflecting fountain and follow the glass platforms to the upper courtyard ledge

If you are at 32/33, recheck the foliage cages, both hidden walls in The Severed Tower and the updated glass routes in Grilles and Ruin and Two Moons. Do not count an old marker as a rescue.

After the last cage, speak with Próximo in the Garden of the High Choirs and climb the completed platform chain. Take the Giant Rattle and use the concealed left climbing wall above its room to reach Gregal. Return the rattle to Próximo, then take his Remembrance to the sculptor.

Purchase all available items in the shop in the City of the Blessed Name.

Empty Regina's stock in the City of the Blessed Name. This is the large-hand shop on the eastern side of the city, not Casto in Forlorn Patio or the travelling pair.

Buy the five figures, three beads, Wax Seed, Abandoned Rosary Knot and both Marks of Martyrdom. Scroll through the entire shop list and return later if stock has appeared as you progressed.

I would leave the expensive final purchases until after Still Among Us. The symbol rewards provide a large amount of Tears. If you still need money, clear a short enemy route beside a Prie Dieu and rest to repeat it. You can work on weapon kills and the combat Martyrdom gauge at the same time.

The final payment after all nine gives the Mayor's figure. Check the dialogue again if the rescue trophy or figure has not appeared.

To reach the final Severed Tower arrival room, use the three Forgotten Tribute pickups and carriage route in Canvas of Light and Time. The initial carriage is in western Choir of Thorns. After reaching the tower, rest to open the gate, then follow the sister route above.

The Work of a Master

bronze · collectible · optional

Bring every Remembrance to an artisan and turn them into Figures.

Give the seven original Remembrances to Montañés or Venerada in the City of the Blessed Name. Bring them to the workshop beside the main Prie Dieu and choose the carving dialogue. The daughter continues the service later.

Remembrance How to obtain it
Cástula and Trifón Complete one sibling request in the palace, then buy the other Remembrance from Casto. See Two Old Ones Eating Soup
Régula Speak to the woman holding the arch in Labyrinth of Tides. Loop around through the western maze to open the shrine from behind. Return for her cloth, then place it on the shrine statue
Próximo Free all 33 cherubs. Take the Giant Rattle at the top of his tower and give it to him

The Confessor Repeatedly pay him to remove Guilt. Revisit as the flowers develop and claim his final Remembrance
Crisanta Defeat Eviterno

Cesáreo's six Wax Seeds

  1. Buy one from Regina's city shop.
  2. Buy one from Medardo and Escolástico at their Repose of the Silent One stop after Sínodo. Check their later stock if they have moved.
  3. At the top of the Streets of Wakes shaft, use the golden rings and Ruego Al Alba to open the upper-right barrier into Grilles and Ruin.
  4. In the upper Aqueduct, beyond the collapsed bridge, use Scions' Protection to reach the ledge.
  5. In western Labyrinth of Tides, cross the golden-ring spike puzzle in the side room before the ascent to The Severed Tower.
  6. Two Moons, in the room immediately right of the lower Prie Dieu.

Return to Cesáreo above the tower portal route and interact with the planting spots. Collect his Remembrance after all six are planted, then take it back to the workshop.

For the Confessor, use the service when you have real Guilt. Collect the rewards in his room rather than merely completing the conversations. If your last Remembrance has already been carved, confirm you bought and carved the second sibling's block too.

House of Grief and Hatred

bronze · optional

Complete all the battle challenges.

The Mistress of Mourning is in the room right of the Streets of Wakes Prie Dieu. Each sleeping daughter you find and whose candle you extinguish unlocks one battle challenge.

Daughter Route
Elevated Temples From the Prie Dieu near the Chapel, go left twice, climb the ladder and enter the right room
Grilles and Ruin From the eastern Prie Dieu, go left and use double jump plus air dash along the upper platforms to the high right exit
Crown of Towers Enter the upper-right section through the Basilica connection, then pass the blue barrier left into the daughter's room
Basilica of Absent Faces Upper-right branch. Use Scions' Protection to reach and open its gate
Sunken Cathedral Western upper branch. Use the golden rings above the room to reach the mechanism that opens the side chamber

Return to the Mistress, enter her dream and clear each unlocked wave fight. The rewards are Tirso, The Thirst, an Empty Receptacle, an Ornate Chalice and Lebeche, in that order.

Use defensive beads and a weapon with reach. Eliminate ranged enemies before the large melee enemy when the layout allows it. Save a group-hitting prayer for overlapping waves. If a challenge kills you, its earlier completed challenges remain available, so refill and retry the unfinished one.

Finish all five, then collect the last reward rather than leaving as soon as the enemies disappear.

A Leap of Faith

bronze · optional

Lift the Curse of the Unforgiven.

Earlier Ascended builds could block the letter quest without Ultimate Torment. Later patch notes list a fix. Update before attempting it in NG+.

Complete the five Cursed Letters in order. Open each Sealed Envelope in your inventory before moving to the next riddle.

  1. Streets of Wakes: climb the central shaft and take the upper-left route. In the next large room, use Scions' Protection to reach the upper-right fleshy barrier. Plunge through it with Ruego Al Alba and take the first envelope.
  2. Two Moons: use the lower reflecting fountain to reach the great mirror on the reflected southwestern side. Stand where your reflection is centred and hold D-pad down for several seconds. Take and open the next envelope.
  3. City: stand still on the left edge of the large drop into Profundo Lamento, above the Confessor-side metal wall. Wait for the next envelope.
  4. Mother of Mothers: from the uppermost Prie Dieu, descend and take the eastern corridor. Repeatedly hit the dead bell-bearing enemy against the far-right wall until the hidden room opens. Take its envelope.
  5. City: pass back and forth in front of Regina's shop door three times without entering. Open the final envelope.
  6. Profundo Lamento: go to the balcony left of the lift down to Sea of Ink and jump into the abyss.

The last jump returns you safely, lifts the curse and gives Seguiriya to the Memory of Your Eyes. If a step does nothing, check you opened the previous letter and are on the correct version of Two Moons.

The Punished One

Kill 300 enemies using Ruego Al Alba.

Use Ruego Al Alba to land the killing blow on 300 enemies. Keep it in regular rotation during exploration so most of the work happens on the route.

For cleanup, choose a room of weak enemies beside a Prie Dieu, kill them with the sword, rest and repeat. Stop using offensive prayers or a servant during this farm so those attacks do not take the final hit. Upgrading the sword first makes each loop quicker.

Kill 300 enemies using Sarmiento & Centella.

Defeat 300 enemies with Sarmiento & Centella. Build their charge against ordinary enemies during return trips and use them until the trophy unlocks.

If you still need kills after exploring, repeat a short weak-enemy route next to a Prie Dieu. Finish each enemy with the blades and avoid using damage prayers or an attacking servant for the last blow. Rest to respawn the room.

The Anointed One

Kill 300 enemies using Veredicto.

Defeat 300 enemies with Veredicto. Its broad swing is useful for clearing the early rooms and groups encountered while searching for collectibles.

If cleanup is needed, use a short loop of ordinary enemies beside a Prie Dieu and rest after clearing it. Make the killing blow with Veredicto. Embrujo occupies the same arsenal position in The Third Sin, but its kills do not replace the original weapon's requirement.

Kill every type of enemy in the base game.

Collection counters have had reported issues on older builds. Kill a Sacred Entombments sand hand before draining the area, then update and revisit original enemy variants before starting another run.

Kill one of every original enemy type. Colour and weapon variants can be separate types. Do this on your main completion save and kill new-looking enemies rather than dashing past them.

Sacred Entombments warning: kill a hand emerging from the sand before draining the area. Approach the trembling sand to make it emerge, then strike it. Older enemy guides warn that clearing the sand can remove the opportunity.

For cleanup, revisit each original area's main path and side chambers, killing every variant you encounter. Use this sweep to catch families that are easy to skip:

Area Targets to check
Ravine and Profundo Lamento Wheel carriers, whip enemies, flying pots, wall enemies and the large hammer guard
Aqueduct and Sacred Entombments Blue lanterns, bell-bearing crawlers, coffin-carrying enemies, emerging hands, sand enemies and clawing wall creatures
Grilles and the palace Yellow shield soldiers, red and blue rapier ambushers, green hammer giants, hanging birds and both chandelier-enemy colours
Choir and Crown of Towers Rolling brambles, ceiling bats, tree spirits, witches, rosary ghosts and lightning casters
Mother of Mothers and Elevated Temples Floating shrine enemies, lesser spellcasting knights, stone harpies, head throwers, red hammer giants and bed-carrying variants
Basilica Red swordsmen, wall paintings and the red floating creatures that split
Sea of Ink and Sunken Cathedral Jumping fish-women, headless water enemies, summoners, ink creatures and hands
Labyrinth and Severed Tower Purple and green plank-bearing enemies, orange whip enemies, fire casters, wax creatures and red bed carriers
Two Moons and Crimson Rains Red shield enemies, abduction enemies, orange lanterns, stronger spell knights, purple swordsmen and bare-chested whip enemies

Trigger ambushers by approaching their ceilings or walls, and wait beside the Sea of Ink water for the leaping enemies. Clear the spawned creature as well as its summoner.

The enemy photographs in Item Level's external reference can help distinguish visually similar variants. The trophy needs the original types, so the new castle enemies are not a substitute for an overlooked original enemy.

Unlock all Weapon Memories.

Post-expansion builds had reports of missing boss marks, including an exact three-mark deficit. Later patches addressed reward issues. Update and preserve the completed save.

Purchase every memory in the three original weapon trees. Each tree costs 30 Marks of Martyrdom, so the weapons need 90. Montañés' extra altarpiece slots cost another 25. The complete original upgrade budget is 115 marks.

Split the hunt into combat and world rewards

The combat Martyrdom gauge supplies 40 marks, then stops. Check its counter in the pause menu. If fewer than forty have been earned, keep killing ordinary enemies while finishing the other collections. Once the counter is complete, more enemy kills will not replace a missing world reward.

The other 75 marks are accounted for below:

Regina and the travelling merchants 3
Sculptor's final reward 5
Three vacated Procession of Shadows boarding rooms 6

Total world rewards 75

Finish Ultima Ratio before the return sweep and bring all three original weapons. Use Veredicto for bells, Sarmiento & Centella for mirrors and Ruego Al Alba to plunge through fleshy barriers. Clear enemies before starting a timed platform course. If a gate closes, return to its statue or bell and restart.

25 Crimson Rains, lowest Prie Dieu Climb three rooms and take the western branch. Continue to the lift lever, ride the lift down and go right through the mirrors. At the golden-ring handle, dash into the right-hand corner for the mark

Open each urn or chest and collect its reward. A combat-room pickup is only secured when its waves are finished. If you die during that battle, return and complete it again. The external world-mark room maps can help match a nearby doorway to a numbered route.

Twenty-five boss marks

These are included in the seventy-five world marks, not additional combat-gauge rewards. Check the relevant boss solution if its route is unfinished.

Garden, shops and quest rewards

  • Garden, ten marks: Follow No Cherub Left Behind. Climb the cherub platforms in the Garden of the High Choirs. The four reward tiers need 10, 17, 29 and 33 rescued cherubs and award 1, 2, 3 and 4 marks. At thirty-three, climb all the way to the Giant Rattle room and take the final four-mark bundle.
  • Shops, three marks: Buy both of Regina's marks in the city and the single mark from Medardo and Escolástico, first offered in Sunken Cathedral. Return after further progression if Regina's final item is not yet stocked. Empty Handed covers her complete shop sweep.
  • Sculptor, five marks: Return all five tools listed in The Finest Craftmanship. Leave the workshop and reload the area, then return and speak with Venerada to claim the final reward.
  • Procession, six marks: Make all three Forgotten Tribute journeys in Canvas of Light and Time. Afterwards, revisit each vacated boarding room. Collect one mark at the first western Choir boarding room, two at Profundo Lamento and three at the isolated Choir stop beside its portal. The final Severed Tower destination's timed urn is a separate pickup, #21 above.
  • Besamanos, one mark: Give him all five Fervent Kisses, obtain the Broken Key from the Confessor or Casto, and enter the room behind him. Collect its mark. True Martyrdom gives the full Kiss and key route.

Spend the marks and check a shortfall

Unlock each original weapon's two higher-tier statues before buying its remaining memories. Blessed Incense, Storm of Death and Edge of Orison give those routes. The trophy unlocks on purchasing the final memory across those three trees. Mea Culpa and Embrujo have separate upgrade trophies and currencies.

If you are short, first distinguish an incomplete combat counter from a missed world reward. Then compare the twenty-five pickups and the reward bundles above. Check the vacated boarding rooms and the workshop conversation even if their associated quests are already finished.

If you remain exactly three marks short after that sweep on an old save, check the reported boss-reward issue before starting another run. Keep the completed save and install available PS5 updates.

Two Old Ones Eating Soup

bronze · optional

Reunite Cástula with Trifón.

Find Cástula and Trifón at their dining table in the Palace of the Embroideries. One is responsive each time you enter. You need both of their carved figures, then place them together.

  1. Collect either the Scroll of the Elder in Crown of Towers or the Cloth of the Old Woman in Sacred Entombments.
  2. For the Scroll, search the upper Crown platforming branch. For the Cloth, ring the bell in the high Sacred Entombments shaft and follow the temporary platforms up through the gate to the ledge.
  3. Give the Scroll to Cástula for Trifón's Remembrance, or the Cloth to Trifón for Cástula's. Leave and re-enter if the other sibling is the one currently speaking.
  4. Buy the remaining Remembrance from Casto in Forlorn Patio, west of the upper Streets of Wakes.
  5. Have both carved at the city workshop.
  6. Place Cástula on the left and Trifón on the right of the same paired altarpiece section so they face one another.

You do not need a second playthrough for the alternative Remembrance. If the trophy does not trigger, check the two figures are in one pair rather than separate rows.

The Finest Craftmanship

bronze · collectible · optional

Unlock all slots in the Altarpiece of Favours.

Visit the sculptor's workshop beside the city's main Prie Dieu and buy all capacity expansions. The altarpiece finishes with eight usable slots. The full capacity route costs 25 Marks of Martyrdom.

Bring back the five sculptor tools as you find them:

Tool Route
Sculptor's Resonant Gavel Profundo Lamento's wall-climb return route beside the lift and city ladder
Oils of the Blessed Mixture Ravine of the High Stones, hidden high ledge above the lower chest route. Double jump into its battle room
Tears of Sap Aqueduct's bell-and-mirror side route, west of the first Prie Dieu
Immaculate Mother-of-Pearl Gouge Mother of Mothers, below the lower Prie Dieu. Use the bell and mirrors to gain a barrier-breaking plunge
Silver Shell File Labyrinth of Tides, high in the shaft leading back to the Sunken Cathedral portal

Hand them over, leave the workshop and return as the quest develops. Claim the reward left after the sculptor's work is complete. Venerada continues the carving and expansion services.

The tools' quest rewards and buying capacity are different checks, so inspect the actual slot count before leaving.

This Is Blasphemy

bronze · optional

Deal more than 250 damage with a single strike.

Use a fully upgraded Veredicto for a single hit above 250 damage.

  1. Equip The Anointed One and The Confessor as a paired altarpiece combination.
  2. Build a high amount of Guilt by dying, but leave enough usable Fervour to ignite Veredicto. Around three quarters of the bar blocked is a workable target.
  3. Return to the Ravine room immediately left of the city and find the small rolling bird-like enemy.
  4. Ignite Veredicto, hold Square button to charge the heavy swing, move into range and release a direct hit.

The figures use high Guilt to boost the weapon's damage. A string of smaller hits adding up to 250 does not qualify. If it fails, check the weapon tree, paired figures, remaining ignition Fervour and that the charged head of the weapon actually hit the enemy.

Afterwards, clear the accumulated Guilt before returning to ordinary boss attempts.

Restore Mea Culpa and free the prisoner

Mea Culpa requires the paid expansion. I would enter with the original movement abilities and a well-upgraded weapon. Find Hilaria beneath the Streets of Wakes, take the Mud Key from the clay figure and open the nearby door into Icebound Mausoleum.

Follow the key-and-door route in At the Mercy of the Grievous Miracle. The key breaking is expected. Each branch ends at another form of Hilaria who repairs it. Defeat Sor Cautiva, finish the marked Hilaria branches, use the Ceramic Key and pursue Asterión into Santa Vigilia.

At the guillotine, raise the blade with the linked levers, then break the blade to free the prisoner. Do not pull the execution lever once the blade is ready. Later meet him in Santa Vigilia for Cruel Compassion. We will use another run, or a deliberate save restoration, for Mind Your Head.

Finish Asterión's second encounter, the three returning Penitent fights, Ending C, the fourteen Preceptor marks, the golden flask quest and twenty gold lumps. Consummate Collector brings the remaining expansion items together. Buy the prisoner branch's alternative item from Medardo and Escolástico at their final Crimson Rains stop.

In Repose

silver · Mea Culpa · unmissable

Defeat Sor Cautiva del Silencio.

Sor Cautiva guards the lower Icebound Mausoleum route. Enter through the Mud Door below Streets of Wakes, follow Hilaria's branches and open the shortcuts before descending to her arena.

The jewel in her chest is the target. Break it to expose a short damage window, attack, then withdraw before the purple explosion. Veredicto's reach helps you stay clear of her body.

Watch the fists for a ground shockwave and jump over the wave rather than dodging into the fist. Move between the projectile lanes. When the rotating beam begins, jump and air dash across its pivot, then follow the safe side as it turns. Later rotations can change direction, so keep watching the beam. Clear the crawling wax enemies when you have space.

Mystical resistance is useful here. Save healing for the end of a beam pattern or after retreating from the chest explosion. Defeating her awards the trophy and opens the next part of the restoration quest.

Prisoner of the Holy Return

silver · Mea Culpa · unmissable

Defeat Brother Asterión.

This unlocks after Asterión's second fight in Santa Vigilia. The first encounter restores the sword and awards At the Mercy of the Grievous Miracle.

Follow the raven-carriage route across Santa Vigilia after restoring Mea Culpa. Open each island's shortcut and continue towards the temple at the far end. Rest before entering Asterión's arena.

His ordinary sword strings can turn towards you after a dodge. Wait for the follow-up before attacking his back. Jump the travelling ground waves. A charged rush can lead into lightning, so move again after evading the charge. In the later pattern, avoid the marked floor swords and keep enough room for the repeated beam attacks. I would use short punishes and keep a flask for the final phase.

Do not rely on old videos that lock him into repeated parries. That behaviour has changed in updates. On victory, cross the chasm to the right and inspect the hidden chamber. Its three statues begin the last steps for Post-Mortem.

At the Mercy of the Grievous Miracle

bronze · Mea Culpa · unmissable

Restore the Mea Culpa sword.

Mea Culpa is part of the paid expansion. Bring double jump, air dash, Scions' Protection and Broken Step to avoid stopping at traversal barriers.

  1. From the Streets of Wakes' central Prie Dieu, descend through the floor grate on the right. Speak to Hilaria and take the Mud Key from the clay figure. Open the nearby Mud Door into Icebound Mausoleum.
  2. Explore both Icebound Hilaria branches. When the key breaks, continue to the next Hilaria and have it repaired. Breakage after opening a door is normal.
  3. Open the further Mud Doors in Choir of Thorns and Labyrinth of Tides. The Choir branch uses the expanded path by the eastern portal. The Labyrinth branch is reached from the lower eastern routes. Follow each branch to its Hilaria and repair the key.
  4. Open the Santa Vigilia branch, entered from western Sacred Entombments near the Veredicto shrine. Follow Hilaria's remaining sequence. Completing all five branches produces the Ceramic Key.
  5. Defeat Sor Cautiva in lower Icebound Mausoleum and use the Ceramic Key on the door to the right of her arena. Interact with the sword hilt. Asterión takes it.
  6. Return through Sacred Entombments to Santa Vigilia. The red barrier can now be passed. Follow the main route to the first Asterión fight and defeat him, then complete the sword interaction.

The trophy unlocks when Mea Culpa is restored. To phase, equip Mea Culpa, jump and press Square button towards a thorn barrier to send a projection through it. Press R1 buttonR1 while the projection is active to move to it. This uses the weapon-skill button, not the dodge button. Use the same projection-and-transfer sequence on the green orbs. It occupies Ruego Al Alba's weapon slot. Use Arsenal of Penitence when you want the original sword back.

For the first Asterión fight, evade his committed sword string, allow for a turning follow-up, then attack once or twice. Jump his ground wave and keep clear of the impact when he lands. The faster second fight is covered in Prisoner of the Holy Return.

Post-Mortem

silver · Mea Culpa

Unlock Ending C.

Obtain the Incense of the Envoys using Canvas of Light and Time, restore Mea Culpa and defeat Asterión a second time.

  1. Cross the chasm to the right of the second Asterión arena. Enter the hidden chamber and interact with its three statues.
  2. Return to the three original weapon shrines. Fight the Penitent at the Sarmiento & Centella shrine in Palace of the Embroideries, the Veredicto shrine in Sacred Entombments, and the Ruego Al Alba shrine in Crown of Towers.
  3. Return to the chamber beyond Asterión and claim Prayer of the Penitent One, a Quick Verse.
  4. Equip that prayer and Mea Culpa before repeating the final encounter in Crimson Rains. Offer the Incense of the Envoys as for Ending A.
  5. Defeat Incarnate Devotion, landing the final hit with Mea Culpa. Keep Prayer of the Penitent One equipped. Casting it is not required.

The new ending awards the trophy. Continue the completed save to return before the finale if you need another attempt. I would obtain the two original endings first so their conditions are easy to keep separate.

Mind Your Head

bronze · Mea Culpa · missable

Make the prisoner's grim wish a reality.

This choice is incompatible with Cruel Compassion on the same uninterrupted run. I recommend freeing him on the collection run and executing him during the later True Torment run. A separate copy made before choosing can also preserve both branches.

Find the guillotine room in Icebound Mausoleum. Speak to the prisoner and pull the nearby lever once to open the upper-right route. Explore the mausoleum and operate the two further guillotine mechanisms. One is reached by the upper mirror-platform route, the other by the lower branch after Hilaria. Return to the guillotine icon and use its local lever to raise the blade fully.

Once the blade is at the top, pull the local lever again to execute him. Do not attack the blade on this branch. The execution awards the trophy. Collect Pearl of the Punished from his body.

His alternative figure can be bought later from Medardo and Escolástico at their final Crimson Rains location. Buying it does not award the rescue trophy.

Cruel Compassion

bronze · Mea Culpa · missable

Find the prisoner after releasing him.

Read this before making the guillotine choice. If the prisoner is executed, you need an earlier separate save or another run to rescue him.

In Icebound Mausoleum, speak to the prisoner and use the nearby lever to open the upper-right route. Operate the two remote guillotine mechanisms as you explore the upper and lower branches. Return and use the local lever until the blade is fully raised. Stop using the lever now. Attack the blade until it breaks.

Freeing him alone does not unlock the trophy. Continue the story, restore Mea Culpa after the first Asterión fight and return to central Santa Vigilia. Look outside the central Prie Dieu on the ledge to its left. Speak to the kneeling prisoner and accept The Prisoner figure. That meeting awards the trophy.

For the opposite branch's item, buy Pearl of the Punished from Medardo and Escolástico in Crimson Rains after this meeting. The purchase does not award Mind Your Head.

Legacy of the Twisted One

bronze · Mea Culpa · collectible · collectible

Unlock the true power of Mea Culpa.

Restore the sword first through At the Mercy of the Grievous Miracle. Bring all movement abilities and Broken Step. For the phasing input sequence, use the sword instructions in that linked solution.

There are 14 Marks of the Preceptor. They are separate from ordinary Marks of Martyrdom. Use the upgrade statue in Santa Vigilia, reached from the upper Prie Dieu by going right, down the ladder and into the right branch of the T-shaped room. Unlock the remaining weapon tier and purchase every sword memory.

Use this area checklist for the chests:

Area Marks and routes
Choir of Thorns 3. The high western exit of the new portal branch. The upper-left reward of the eastern timed thorn-platform course. The upper-right continuation of that course
Beneath Her Sacred Grounds 1. Take the upper-right branch from the central shaft, follow the extended rooms and phase through the thorns above
Labyrinth of Tides 2. The thorn course down and right from the portal. The upper reward of the Mud Door's thorn-platform branch
Icebound Mausoleum 5. Two on the high path west from the Choir entrance's second mausoleum. One in the left thorn course from the eastern Prie Dieu. Two in the phasing routes below and right of the central Prie Dieu
Santa Vigilia 3. The phasing course below the central Mud Door. The lower-right timed green-orb course. The neighbouring drop through the left-hand thorns

Open every chest and spend all fourteen marks. Reaching the statue without buying all the nodes is not enough.

For the precise thorn sequences, use the external chest map and individual routes. Start with the area count above, identify the missing chest, then reset its timed statue before following the platform course. A failed traversal can be retried without losing its mark.

SourcesGame Checklists: Preceptor and Embrujo marks · GamerFocus, Julián Ramírez: Mea Culpa items and doors · Raze: Mea Culpa and The Third Sin achievements and items

Explore the castle and complete The Third Sin

Take the Lamp of the Whisper of the Mist from the coffin in the room above and right of Our Lady of the Chalices. Return to the lower-right Choir of Thorns, by the approach to Icebound Mausoleum, and ride the chariot across the mist lake.

Meet Eliseo in Usurped Halls, collect Embrujo in Geometry of Knowledge and use it to cross the hooked traversal routes. Clear the purple mist by destroying its source in Stone Entrails. Restore the lift, collect the Broken Ring of Sealed Eyes and finish the three marked statues. Return to Eliseo for the completed ring, then defeat Crescencia.

Collect the offerings early and keep one servant equipped through the rest of the sweep. Finish Chorus of the Servants, Embrujo of the Flames, Omnis Facies Poenitentiae and Unbreakable Bond. Also collect the castle's four prayers and nine figures, even if the original collection trophies have already unlocked.

Return to the normal save's completion checks. The expanded map percentage includes more rooms than the original release, so use Dedicated Explorer for the final map sweep.

Atonement of Sins

bronze · The Third Sin · unmissable

Defeat Crescencia, Duchess of the Sleeping Face.

Start The Third Sin from the coffin above and right of Our Lady of the Chalices. Take the Lamp of the Whisper of the Mist to the chariot beyond the lower-right Choir of Thorns Prie Dieu. Cross to the castle, defeat Darbon by the fountain and enter Usurped Halls. From its Prie Dieu, go right and down the ladder to meet Eliseo. His three objectives appear on the map.

Open the castle

  1. Continue east past the purple mist and climb the ladder. Open the shortcut to the Usurped Halls Prie Dieu, then take the first western exit from the eastern vertical room into Geometry of Knowledge.
  2. Strike the movable ladders to make a climbing route. Climb to the upper-right Prie Dieu, descend to the broken lift shaft and take its upper-left route. Complete the combat room and continue west through the ladder course.
  3. Descend through Ruego Al Alba's root barrier and take the bottom-right route. At the special doorway, press D-pad up and strike the hanging body to claim Embrujo. Equip the whip, jump within reach of a wolf-head hook and press R1 buttonR1 to grapple. Use R1 buttonR1 again when the next hook comes within reach. Practise on the course just outside the weapon room before attempting the longer spike crossings.
  4. Return west through the grapple course into Stone Entrails. Follow the lower route, open the Prie Dieu shortcut and use the western wolf-head path and root barrier to descend. Rest in the safe alcoves between purple clouds. Destroy the corpse in the coffin at the mist's source. The disappearance of the clouds confirms success.
  5. Complete the nearby marked Stone Entrails statue route. Interact with the lovers' statue to remove its blue pin.
  6. Return to Geometry's lift controls and strike the statue jamming the gear. Ride up one stop and take the right-hand Prie Dieu. Follow the winding Organs route up to the highest Prie Dieu and collect the Broken Ring of Sealed Eyes beside it.
  7. Finish both remaining statue objectives. The northeast route ends with a combat challenge. The northwest route is a platforming course. Remove both blue pins.
  8. Return to Eliseo in Usurped Halls. His Broken Ring of Sealed Lips combines with the first half into the Complete Ring of the Perfidy.
  9. Return to the high Organs Prie Dieu where you found the first half. Enter the door in the middle of that room to fight Crescencia.

The external castle route maps from Hold To Reset show the winding passages between these landmarks. Open shortcuts as you pass them so a failed traversal does not mean repeating the full approach.

Defeat Crescencia

Keep Embrujo available for the arena's wolf-head hooks. Avoid committing to a long ground combo. Dodge through or retreat from the forward sword sweep, then punish briefly. When she rushes across the arena, double jump and air dash over her.

Watch the gaps in the falling swords. During the blue floor-flame pattern, use the hooks to remain airborne and keep clear of the rotating sword. Move away from the blue explosion markers. When pillars close in, move towards the remaining opening and wait for space before attacking again.

Defeat her for the trophy, then interact with the sword left in the arena to collect the skin item for Omnis Facies Poenitentiae.

Embrujo of the Flames

bronze · The Third Sin · collectible · collectible

Unlock the full power of Embrujo.

Obtain Embrujo during Atonement of Sins. The linked solution explains its grapple input. It occupies Veredicto's slot and can ring bells as well as use the castle's wolf-head hooks.

Collect 19 Marks of the Embrujo, unlock the second weapon tier at the upgrade statue in The Vibrating of the Organs and purchase every memory. Ordinary Marks of Martyrdom and Marks of the Preceptor do not replace these marks.

Finish the mist and ring objectives before the final sweep. The chests are divided as follows:

Area Chests to clear
Castle of the Mist 2. The low route from western Organs. The eastern ring-gate branch
Geometry of Knowledge 4. The bell course west of the eastern Prie Dieu. The high eastern wolf-head ledge. The western ring-gate platform loop. The ring-gate gauntlet west of the eastern Prie Dieu
Stone Entrails 6. The western bell course. The route continuing beyond the mist-source coffin. The spike room's upper wolf-head route. The lower spike-room branch. The reward before the ladder down to the lovers' statue. The high bell course reached from the western U-shaped mist corridor
The Vibrating of the Organs 7. The western exterior ring gate. The ladder below the highest Prie Dieu. The exterior chest east of that Prie Dieu. The ledge inside the lift shaft. The high eastern shortcut branch. The hidden ledge below the eastern exterior platforms. The far-western wolf-head chain

The upgrade statue is below the western exterior ring-gate route in Organs. Drop to its lower branch and follow the rooms to the right. Unlock its tier, then use Weapon Memories to buy the remaining nodes.

For each missing chest, the external nineteen-mark map and numbered chest routes provide a room-level visual check. Use Embrujo for the hooks and bells, Ruego Al Alba for roots, and the ring for sealed gates. Reset the starting bell or statue if its timed path expires. The trophy unlocks after buying the final memory, rather than on collecting the last mark.

Win the favour of all the servants.

Collect twelve offering fragments, four each of Cracked Ceramic, Rusted Silver and Old Gold. Each complete set becomes an offering. Consecrate all three at the Altar of Offerings in Usurped Halls, beside the room containing Eliseo and the sarcophagus.

I would finish the mist-clearing route and obtain Embrujo first. Some later ledges also need the Broken Ring of Sealed Eyes. The fragment checklist is:

Set Four pickup routes
Ceramic The mist east of Eliseo. Geometry's hidden right-hand room on the eastern climb. The hidden right wall beside Geometry's portal. The wolf-head ledge beyond the eastern mist pickup
Silver Geometry's high wolf-head course west of its eastern Prie Dieu. The ledge beyond Stone Entrails' lovers' statue. The western Stone Entrails shaft leading back to the castle. The high exterior ledge on the eastern Organs route
Gold The gauntlet below Geometry's western Prie Dieu. The cleared-mist branch below its eastern Prie Dieu. The high hook route west of Stone Entrails' eastern Prie Dieu. The lowest exterior platform on eastern Organs

The external twelve-fragment maps distinguish the nearby Geometry and Stone Entrails rooms. If a set has not combined, one of its four world pickups is still missing. There is no random drop to farm.

At the altar, confirm consecration for each complete offering. Ceramic gives Breastplate of Mourning, Silver gives Silver Tears, and Gold gives Moonchild. The trophy unlocks when all three servants are obtained. You can equip one at the altar or a Prie Dieu. Start using one immediately for Unbreakable Bond.

  2. Helm: From Stone Entrails' western Prie Dieu, descend and take the left-hand branch. Break its hidden wall.
  3. Breastplate: From the eastern Organs Prie Dieu, go right, down and right again. Open the ring gate and collect the fragment.

Unbreakable Bond

bronze · The Third Sin · collectible

Unleash the full power of a servant.

Unlock a servant through Chorus of the Servants, then keep the same one equipped until it reaches level 4. You only need to maximise one.

Equip or check a servant at a Prie Dieu. Breastplate of Mourning attacks nearby enemies, Silver Tears fires projectiles, and Moonchild can block incoming damage. I recommend one of the attacking servants so it contributes naturally while you clear the castle.

Progress comes from using the equipped servant through combat. Collect it early and avoid dividing the remaining exploration between all three. If it is still level 3 after the castle, repeat a short enemy loop around Usurped Halls and the castle entrance. Rest at the Prie Dieu to respawn enemies, then repeat while leaving your chosen servant equipped.

Check its level at the Prie Dieu between loops. The trophy unlocks on reaching level 4. Collecting the three offerings or buying weapon memories does not increase the servant's level.

Check the collections before ascending

Check True Martyrdom and Consummate Collector separately. The first concerns overall save completion. The second has additional item requirements and can require True Torment rewards.

If the all-items trophy is still locked after the normal and expansion collections are complete, copy this save into a different available slot and ascend the copy. At the opening True Torment altar, select challenges worth a total of four Retribution points and keep that total for the ending. The precise setup, reward list and carryover checks are in Consummate Collector.

Use that run to execute the prisoner for Mind Your Head. Avoid replacing the normal completion save, and do not select Ultimate Torment if you want to retain equipment. After ascending, movement abilities and quest progression still need to be recovered.

True Martyrdom

Complete 100% of the game.

Expanded-world completion and old collection/boss-reward counters have inconsistent player reports. Finish the free-update cleanup, install available PS5 fixes and retain the save before troubleshooting.

Reach 100% on the save's game-completion counter. This is broader than revealing the map.

Complete the original story and both base endings, then check all original prayers, beads, figures, movement abilities, weapon skills, flask capacity, healing strength, health, Fervour and altarpiece capacity. Finish the associated quests and claim their actual rewards.

On expanded saves, players report that the free-update content also contributes to the overall percentage. Finish the expanded original-area branches and The Third Sin's map, four prayers, nine figures and Embrujo upgrades before assuming a 99% save is broken. If Mea Culpa is installed and being played, complete its outstanding item and upgrade sweep as well.

For the permanent character upgrades, hand over five Ornate Chalices, three Silver-Clad Crystal Shards and four Empty Receptacles to Our Lady of the Chalices. Give five Fervent Kisses to Besamanos in Streets of Wakes. Use the upgrade checklist below. The four receptacle routes are in Acquired Taste.

When a final reward brings the counter to 100%, rest and move to another Prie Dieu if the trophy has not checked immediately. Keep this normal save until the platinum and expansion checks are finished.

This trophy is not the same as the expansion's all-items trophy. Do not select a harder mode merely to fix this one. A high-retribution completion belongs to that separate collection route.

If you are missing boss marks or a specific reward despite meeting its conditions, update and preserve the save. Do not erase progress to test an old reinstall or save-deletion suggestion.

Crystal Shard, City From the city Prie Dieu, head left, climb the ladder, jump onto the left roof and double jump right to the high doorway
Crystal Shard, Elevated Temples From the Chapel Prie Dieu, go east to the hanging ladder. Climb and head west to the golden-ring shaft. Rise, then follow the upper eastern mirror and blue-barrier course

Five Fervent Kisses

Bring double jump, air dash, Scions' Protection and all three original weapons for the final sweep.

  1. Palace: From the entrance Prie Dieu, use the eastern mirrors to reach the combat pickup room on the route towards Choir. Win the waves.
  2. Elevated Temples: Open the shortcut ladder above the western Prie Dieu. Drop beside it and plunge immediately with Ruego Al Alba through the fleshy platform below.
  3. Repose: After Sínodo, take the Severed Tower exit back into Repose and collect the Kiss beside the shortcut gate.
  4. Streets of Wakes: Climb fully above the Prie Dieu and head west towards the fleshy barrier. Double jump to the statue, draw its mirror towards you, then use the mirror sequence, double jump and air dash to reach the far ledge. Allow the moving mirror to travel far enough before striking it.
  5. Two Moons: From the eastern Prie Dieu, go two rooms west, climb and take the western fountain. Go east to the large platform room. At its lower statue, move the platform beside the fleshy wall on the left. Leave that platform in place. Use the fountains to loop around to this room's upper entrance, then plunge onto the raised platform with Ruego Al Alba to break the wall and collect the Kiss.

If you need help tracing the Two Moons loop, the external Fervent Kiss map marks its starting and finishing room. The important setup is leaving the platform at the barrier before approaching from above.

Give all five to Besamanos, left of the Streets of Wakes Prie Dieu. Refuse to kneel during his initial requests if you have not already met him. After the fifth upgrade, visit the city's Confessor for the Broken Key. If you knelt, buy the key from Casto instead. Open the door behind Besamanos and collect its Mark of Martyrdom. If he remains outside, speak to him about the room for the bonus Fervour reward. That bonus is separate from the five regular upgrades.

Reveal the entire map, including new areas.

Finish the base map sweep in Second Pilgrimage, then explore the expanded rooms. Work from a completed normal save rather than ascending it.

Check Icebound Mausoleum and Santa Vigilia, plus the new branches in Choir of Thorns, Sacred Entombments, Grilles and Ruin, Elevated Temples, Streets of Wakes, Mother of Mothers, Beneath Her Sacred Grounds, Sunken Cathedral and Labyrinth of Tides. Bring Broken Step and Mea Culpa. Glass platforms and green phasing routes often conceal the last side rooms.

After Asterión's second fight, cross the right-hand chasm into the three-statue chamber. Do not leave that room unexplored just because the boss trophy unlocked.

On the expanded game, also sweep Castle of the Mist, Usurped Halls, Geometry of Knowledge, Stone Entrails and The Vibrating of the Organs. Clear the mist and obtain the completed ring first, then open every ring gate and ride the lift through all its stops.

Map borders are the practical check. An edge without a closed border leads somewhere else. Walk to the far end of long rooms and climb their upper ledges, as entering a room does not necessarily reveal every map square. Revisit doors and passages associated with the remaining item lists. An explored map and a 100% save file are separate goals.

The external expanded-area maps in Raze's guide can help compare the Mea Culpa branches if one border is still open. Use them as a visual check after the sweep, without starting a new run.

Find every item.

Early unlocks and collection-counter problems have been reported across versions. Complete the item lists and preserve the normal save before considering ascension.

Keep all collections on the same save lineage. Complete the normal run and expansions before ascending.

The trophy has a history of unlocking early, including on normal saves. If it unlocks during cleanup, you can stop pursuing its additional requirements. If it remains locked, plan for the six True Torment reward items as well. I would not build the route around an early unlock.

Check the original collections

Finish Acta, Non Verba, Full Devotion and Weight of Penance. Their solutions list the original prayers, beads and figures. Then use the following expansion lists to compare names in your inventory.

Mea Culpa beads

Item Starting point and action

Blood-Stained Chain Link Upper Grilles and Ruin, approach from Elevated Temples
Antique Locket Beneath Her Sacred Grounds, break the right wall in the second Ruego Al Alba upgrade room
Bandage of the Heretic Icebound Mausoleum, finish the timed gate and climbing course
Pearl of the Punished Execute the prisoner, or buy it in Crimson Rains after meeting him alive in Santa Vigilia
Traitor's Gaze Deliver ten gold lumps to the golden tree in eastern Labyrinth of Tides

Mea Culpa prayers

Item Where to look
Carcelera of Tender Relief Open both sides of the new Sacred Entombments to Repose shortcut, then complete its glass and golden-ring course
Cante Jondo of the Polluted Heart Expanded Choir of Thorns, climb above the new eastern portal through the blue barriers
Temple of the Three Winds Above the eastern Choir Prie Dieu, take the second right-hand exit from the top of the tall room and complete the traversal course

The Mercy Elevated Temples, use the upper-right statue in the long room, then reach the upper-left timed chest
The Family Chest behind the gate beside eastern Choir's Prie Dieu, approach clockwise from above and right
The Aide Far eastern Labyrinth, hidden right wall beyond the long golden-ring spike route
The Beatified Above and left of the Labyrinth portal, complete the four-mirror route
The Thief Above Santa Vigilia's upper Prie Dieu, loop around from the right using the raven carriage
The Liberated Deliver all twenty gold lumps
The Prisoner Meet him after freeing him, or buy the figure if he was executed
The Dance Lower-left Streets of Wakes, complete the hidden statue's timed mirror and glass-platform route

Bring all movement abilities, Broken Step and Mea Culpa for these routes. The external expansion item maps from GamerFocus show the chest positions if you need to distinguish nearby branches.

Twenty gold lumps

Speak with the golden tree in the eastern Labyrinth of Tides, beside the eastern Prie Dieu, and deliver the lumps. Ten award the bead and twenty award The Liberated. Break suspicious walls and finish the traversal courses in the expanded areas.

Use this count to narrow a missing pickup:

Area Lumps
Grilles and Ruin 1
Choir of Thorns 4
Mother of Mothers 1
Beneath Her Sacred Grounds 1
Elevated Temples 1
Sunken Cathedral 1
Labyrinth of Tides 3
Icebound Mausoleum 4
Santa Vigilia 4

The numbering here is our checklist order. Bring all movement abilities, Broken Step, the three original weapons and Mea Culpa.

# Area Starting point and pickup
1 Grilles and Ruin Enter the upper extension from Elevated Temples. In its second-highest room, break the fleshy barrier and the hidden left wall by the descending ladder. Ring the concealed bell and reach the gold gate
2 Choir of Thorns From the eastern portal, climb west and north to the last room before Crown of Towers. Use the golden rings and air dash
3 Choir of Thorns Go two rooms west from the eastern Prie Dieu. Climb the upper branch using golden rings and air dash
4 Choir of Thorns Follow the route west from the lowest Prie Dieu towards Palace of the Embroideries. Approach the gold room from the right
5 Choir of Thorns Enter its Mud Door and follow Hilaria's branch. Climb the upper reward route in the second room
6 Mother of Mothers Enter the eastern extension from Streets of Wakes. Activate its statue and complete the timed bell, mirror and plunging-attack course
7 Beneath Her Sacred Grounds Take the central shaft's upper-right branch. Follow it east to the highest room, using golden rings and air dash
8 Elevated Temples Go two rooms west from the Chapel Prie Dieu. Climb the large chamber and take its western room. Move the mirrors with the statues and cross to the gold
9 Sunken Cathedral From the entrance Prie Dieu, go west, climb two rooms and follow the eastern extension. Raise its moving mirror and ride repeated mirror strikes to the upper-right pickup
10 Labyrinth of Tides From the western Prie Dieu, go three rooms east, take the upper-right branch, then the lower-right exit into the green-orb route. Break the hidden left wall to reach the green-wall switch. Toggle it, then use the hanging urn and air dash to cross east. Continue down through two rooms, plunge through the fleshy floor with Ruego Al Alba and follow the remaining green-orb route to the lump
11 Labyrinth of Tides Follow the eastern Prie Dieu's connection towards the golden tree. Collect the lump in the room immediately before the tree
12 Labyrinth of Tides Beyond the Mud Door, descend and continue east to the gated gold. Find the timed statue behind the upper-right hidden wall, then race back through the course
13 Icebound Mausoleum At the upper entrance Prie Dieu, climb the ledge on its right
14 Icebound Mausoleum Go west from that Prie Dieu and enter the mausoleum. Leave the platform below the visible gold extended. Descend, exit east, go down and west, then climb back from the opposite side
15 Icebound Mausoleum From the same upper Prie Dieu, go west into the mausoleum, descend and take the eastern room. Check beside its doorway
16 Icebound Mausoleum Open the lower shortcut back towards the snowy upper Prie Dieu. At the far eastern end of its outdoor room, break the hidden right wall
17 Santa Vigilia Ride the raven from the room left of The Severed Tower's central Prie Dieu. From its destination, climb the urn-switch platform course to the upper-left gold
18 Santa Vigilia From the nearby lower Santa Vigilia Prie Dieu, descend and go east. In the following chamber, stay high and collect the gold beside the lever
19 Santa Vigilia Return to that Prie Dieu and climb north using Mea Culpa until you reach another raven. Ride to the western section near Sacred Entombments, break the shortcut chain and climb the ledge by the landing
20 Santa Vigilia From the easternmost island's Prie Dieu, take its eastern room. Climb the phasing route. On the final wall jump, send a projection east, hit the urn while falling to remove the green wall, then transfer to the projection and continue upward

For #20, the final urn-controlled wall must be off when you reach the upper-right pickup. If it is still blocking you, reset the urn state and repeat the last wall-jump sequence. For #12, locate the concealed statue before attempting the timed return. A missed timer can be retried.

There are no enemy drops to farm for this quest. Each is a fixed world pickup. Use the external gold-lump room maps as a visual comparison for the numbered routes. Return to the tree after the sweep and confirm all twenty were delivered. Keep the game updated, as older builds could lose gold-lump progress.

The castle's extra items

The Third Sin also adds four prayers and nine figures. Collect these on the normal sweep even if the smaller base collection trophies have already unlocked.

Type Items and landmarks
Quick Verses Garrotín of the Forgotten Ones, behind breakable books on the eastern Geometry route. Carcelera of Bitter Blood, combat reward in The Vibrating of the Organs
Chants Vidalita of Blind Eyes, Geometry's bell and wolf-head ledge below the western Prie Dieu. Jaleo of the Injured Dawn, hidden drop route in Castle of the Mist from the western Organs connection
Usurped Halls figure The Lady of the Mist, hidden left wall on the upper eastern branch
Geometry figure The Ascension, movable-ladder route above and right of the eastern Prie Dieu
Stone Entrails figures The Grief, hidden right wall at the bottom of the lift shaft. Eliseo, west from the western Prie Dieu. The Perfidy, ring-gate course below and right of that Prie Dieu
Organs figures Cartography of Bones, lift roof and upper-left landing. The Judicious One, mechanism on the eastern hook route. The Inner Voice, hooked mechanism midway down the western shaft
Castle figure Crescencia, hidden drop route leading towards Jaleo of the Injured Dawn

For a missing castle item, use the external prayer routes and external figure maps. Clear the purple mist and finish Eliseo's ring first so every listed branch is reachable.

If True Torment rewards are still needed

Copy the completed normal save into another available slot before choosing Ascend on that copy. Keep the original intact. Ascension restarts progression and removes movement abilities and most quest items. The Steely Battle Lance and golden-flask reward can remain when equipment is retained. Without Ultimate Torment, equipment carries over, including weapons, memories, prayers, beads and figures, apart from the ending Envoys.

At the opening challenge altar, choose modifiers totalling four Retribution points. One workable combination is:

Challenge Points
Vow of Poverty 1
Spilled Blood 1
Chalice of Guilt 1
Barefoot Procession 0.5
Endless Thirst 0.5

This trades away fervour and bead upgrades, changes health to orbs and adds penalties for hits, deaths and mark gains. Retaining the upgraded weapons helps. Do not select Ultimate Torment if you want to retain equipment.

Choose the full setup at the start. You cannot add another modifier later, and removing one from this combination drops the total below four. Complete the main game with the total intact. Any ending is enough. Full map completion is not needed just to earn the challenge rewards.

After the finale, check for Bleeding Chalice, Soleá of Excommunication, The Mournful, The Crying, The Executed and The Oblivion. These are the two prayers and four figures from the full reward tier. Continue that save for any missing item cleanup. Use the prisoner's execution branch on this run if you freed him previously.

If the trophy remains locked after the six rewards, finish outstanding quest progression on that ascended save too. Follow the five-dove boss route for its keys, repeat the Cursed Letters in A Leap of Faith, collect the sibling quest items in Two Old Ones Eating Soup, regain the Ceramic Key through At the Mercy of the Grievous Miracle and obtain the incense through Canvas of Light and Time. Use True Martyrdom for Besamanos and the Broken Key. Complete the grave quest below if its golden flask is missing. Quest-object counting has conflicting reports, so I recommend this cleanup rather than discarding the save or ascending again.

The grave quest and golden flask

The grave quest is a useful addition to the collection sweep. Visit the four blue-flame graves, two in Icebound Mausoleum and two in Santa Vigilia. Clear every enemy in each room, stand on the grave without moving for about ten seconds and accept each Imperfectus Lacrimatorio piece. The four combine into Plenus Lacrimatorio.

Take it to the final grave in lower-western Icebound Mausoleum and wait again. Beatus Lacrimatorio replaces one regular flask with a golden flask that restores health and fervour. The external grave maps distinguish the four pickup graves from this final destination.

Make the short 30-minute run

Start a fresh save for A Sharp Rendezvous. Learn its route before starting. Choose Veredicto, obtain wall climb, pick up the other two original weapons without fighting their area bosses, and go directly through Mother of Mothers to Afilaor's room.

Skip optional fights, shops and side quests. Quit to the title screen if you need to stop and read directions. The route's purpose is reaching the room within thirty minutes, so it ends before a full game clear. Keep your completed collection saves intact.

A Sharp Rendezvous

silver · missable

Reach the room of the Sentinel of the Emery in under 30 minutes.

Reach Afilaor's room in less than thirty minutes on a fresh save. You do not need to finish the game or defeat the three Regret bosses.

I recommend starting with Veredicto because its normal shrine is the largest detour. Keep the completed collection save in another slot.

  1. Defeat the tutorial boss and cross the Ravine to the city. Collect Peteneras on the main path.
  2. Drop into Profundo Lamento. Defeat the guarding swordsman, collect Ivy of Ascension and climb the return loop. Pick up Mirabras of the Return to Port beside the lift, then return to the city.
  3. Go east through Grilles and Ruin. In the palace, stay on the lower route to Sarmiento & Centella. Ignore the cocoon and Orospina.
  4. Retrace to the vertical palace route and climb toward the lift into Choir of Thorns. Clear the mandatory ambush on the way. Pass through the Choir to Crown of Towers.
  5. Follow the lower Crown route to Ruego Al Alba. In the moving-platform room, use the middle-right exit toward the weapon, not the bottom-right side room. Ignore Lesmes.
  6. Cast Mirabras to return to the city. Descend into Profundo Lamento. Beyond its Prie Dieu, ring the bell above the large lightning enemy and use the temporary platforms to pass it. Follow the lower route through the mirror gate, then descend the tall spiked room and leave through its bottom-left exit.
  7. In Mother of Mothers, descend the entrance ladder and go left to the first Prie Dieu. Return right past the entrance ladder, then descend the next ladder into the large staircase room. Skip the bottom prayer-chest detour and take the western branch towards the bell.
  8. Ring the bell and take the second-lowest western exit, using the temporary passage it opens. Climb the ladder in the next passage and continue left. Climb and break the glass switch above you to open the shortcut gates below the first Prie Dieu. Skip the optional movable-platform chest.
  9. From this shortcut room, take the ladder down and the lower-left exit. Use the next statue to lower the mirror fully, then strike it with Sarmiento & Centella to cross the gate. Descend the ladder on the other side and continue left through the next mirror gate.
  10. Clear the enemies in the timed-door room before activating its statue. Open the door, follow the mirrors and get through the lower-right exit before it closes. Continue right to the second Prie Dieu. The dead tree just beyond it is your next landmark.
  11. Go right from the tree room. Ring the bell and climb through the upper doorway to open the shortcut, then continue right into the larger bell-and-mirror puzzle. Ring its bell, climb the temporary platforms and use the mirror to reach the other side. Plunge through the fleshy floor with Ruego Al Alba.
  12. Use the mirror to return above the floor you broke. Ring the bell on the right, then drop through that opening and take the now-open lower-right door. Use its mirror to reach the glass switch and open the upper gate. Climb the right wall and ladder. Open the glass-switch shortcut in the right-hand side room, then return left and climb the ladder to the statue beside the rising platform.
  13. Lower that platform with the statue. Immediately use the mirrors to cross left and land on the platform while it is still low. Ride it up, break the glass switches to open the return route, and take the exit on the left. If you miss the platform, return to its statue and lower it again. Reset a closed timed door at its own statue.
  14. Use Ruego Al Alba to plunge through the three fleshy floors into Beneath Her Sacred Grounds. Descend the spiked shaft to the bottom Prie Dieu, then go left past Yerma and enter Afilaor's room before 30:00. Entering the encounter awards the trophy. You do not need to win the fight.

Skip conversations and cutscenes where possible, avoid optional pickups and fight only enemies that block you. Do not assume a menu pauses the run. Quit to the title screen when you need to read ahead.

Treat the first attempt as route practice if you lose several minutes. There is no need to ruin the completion save or try to turn an old save into a speedrun.
