I did beat exposito on the first try doing new game+ tho, the debla of the lights prayer kicks his ass if u get both weak spots. I've literally wasted 120k tears by commiting suicide of the ledge, in order to stain the bead to experience the Statues of Confessors' arenas (Not that I could spend these tears on anything at all, just the fact I wasted this much on nothing is stunning). -Your sword arm weakens, Mea Culpa attacks are half as effective.

The Three Penitence systems offers three distinct ways to play Blasphemous. NPCs: Jailed Ghost overhaul, Jibrael, Nacimiento, Puppers of Albero, Rosary Beads: Token of Appreciation, Cloistered Ruby, Bead of Gold Thread, Cloistered Sapphire, and Fire Enclosed in Enamel. Keep an eye out for Jibrael as you progress through NG+ as only they and they alone can awake the Amanecidas from their slumber for you to challenge. This altar offers four choices, the first three being Penitence of the Bleeding Heart, Penitence of the True Guilt, and Penitence of the Unwavering Faith.

Hey guys, didn't know how much other people play this game, but figured it might help to give tips on alternate game modes we've gone through. The hair knot for your Rosary ( Thanks Altasgracias) also boosts your attack power, every little bit helps. The other effects of this Penance (ie, the increased penalties for death) are inconsequential and will barely effect your game (be warned that tears of atonement will be permanently lost if you don't manually recover a guilt fragment before dying again - this loss happens even when using the immaculate bead or a confessor; tears of atonement aren't particularly valuable on a NG+ run, but this can be quite annoying if you aren't expecting it). I've been wearing the Ember of Holy Cremation (def up) and Consecrated Amethyst (great protection magic attacks), which has reduced damage to one Life Orb and works for the Brilliant Heart of Dawn too. I've already beaten Ten Piedad, Tres Angustias, and the first Amanecidas (the axe one). Equip Molten Heart of Fire or whatever it's called, it gives you an orb back after you kill some enemies.

I suspect not having effective Bile Flask makes the endgame much harder. 2, " " . Sure, you could opt for no penance at all, but THIS DECISION IS IRREVERSIBLE, DO YOU REALLY WANT TO DO THAT??!?!

The Molten Heart of Boiling Blood works wonders for map exploration and traversal, but is useless against Bosses, so that's where the Saeta Dolorosa comes in. and our I learned the hard way that in this mode, while the Immaculate Bead does prevent you from getting guilt, you do NOT retain your souls and have no way to recover them if you die with it. Now however doing the guilt penitence, I am struggling even against regular enemies. Thankfully, souls also matter the least once you've reached this Penitence, since you should already have unlocked everything else you need; all that it's really used for is giving enough donations to teleport between shrines and filling/upgrading bile flasks which, incidentally, I also recommend against doing for the same reason as Bleeding Heart; improving how much fervor each flask gives you isn't worth losing more lightning attack activations and being able to restart the heal-over-time effect more often.

I'll highlight which tools I think are preferable for each specific Penance in the discussion below, though certain items - especially traversal tools (like the Linen of Golden thread relic), which will allow you to grab Empty Bile Flasks, Health and Fervor upgrades earlier then you would otherwise be able to - are highly recommended for any NG+ run. (xd) its supposed to be punishing. Respawning enemies is a minor annoyance, but doesn't present much actual difficulty to a veteran player.
