Expanding the description of the weapons.


The gameplay remains mostly the same, consisting of heavy exploration and backtracking interspersed with simple but satisfying combat encounters and [[PuzzlePlatformer puzzle platforming]], although with the notable addition of three different weapons to the Penitent One's Arsenal rather than just the sword Mea Culpa.

The gameplay remains mostly the same, consisting of heavy exploration and backtracking interspersed with simple but satisfying combat encounters and [[PuzzlePlatformer puzzle platforming]], although with the notable addition of three different weapons to replacing Mea Culpa, the Penitent One's Arsenal rather than just sword, with three new different weapons:
* [[FragileSpeedster Sarmiento & Centella]]: A rapier and a dagger used together for fast damages per second balanced by said damages being
the sword Mea Culpa.weakest. A good succession of hits can charge it with [[ShockAndAwe lightning energy]] giving it a temporary boost. Hitting the many statues holding mirrors found through the game will teleport the Penitent One to where the mirror is directed, allowing to reach great heights and go through some bareers.
* [[JackOfAllStats Ruego Al Alba]]: A large blade and the most balanced weapon of all three. It's special ability "Blood Pact", once charged from enough hits, allow the Penitent One to sacrifice some health for extra mystical damages and (eventually) regains health. It also allows you to strike it on the ground from above, which when done from high enough, can burst the flesh walls and unlock new paths.
* [[MightyGlacier Veredicto]]: A chained mace and the slowest but strongest weapon. It can be charged using fervor to release fire or miasma damages. It can also ring the bells scattered through Cvstodia to open doors and summon platforms that reacts to the resonance of the chimes.

This is a Distinction Without A Difference. Spelling the title in roman numerals doesn't meaningfully change it, and a redirect already exists for Blasphemous 2.

** Prayers return in two forms; Verses, which are quick-fire projectile attacks and Chants, which have larger areas of effect and deal more damage.

** There's multiple to ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaSymphonyOfTheNight'': The halls of the Elevated Temples look very similar to the Marble Gallery, and the color scheme is similar to the Alchemy Lab. The Amalgama enemy in the Basilica of Absent Faces is a dead ringer for Ectoplasm (and the spinning portraits are taken from ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaRondoOfBlood''). The entire Severed Tower area, and part of Two Moons, is an homage to the Reverse Castle.

* CuttingOffTheBranches: Character dialogue heavily implies that the GoldenEnding added by the first game's ''Wounds of Eventide'' is the canon ending. The story told by the defeating the bosses is about the Grievous Miracle returning to Cvstodia, and Ending C was the only ending in which the Penitent One banished it. The first Achievement the player will receive in game is called, "A Thousand Years Later," and implies that's how long it's been gone.

** After raising the Sunken Cathedral a broken bridge forms in the Sea of Ink area to allow access to it from the door of Mother of Mothers. The bridge's position and design correlates to part of the Bridge of the Three Cavalries from the first game which led into the Mother of Mothers.
** In the Labyrinth of Tides you can find the ornate boat the Penitent One uses to travel through Mourning and Havoc in the first game.
