anyone else spend 3 hours of their day off walking from Albero to her lair over and over again after slowly getting further and further in the bossfight until you eventually beat her?
Yea lol she definitely was the boss i struggled with the most on my first playthrough Took me easily over 20+ tries while everyone else took me like 5 at most i even beat Escribar first try
Yup, kept trying and beat her after about an hour. First few attempts are intimidating because you haven't seen all her moves yet, and if you don't use the parry her dashes would make this fight a nightmare. Second phase is actually easier once you get used to her attacks (+ 4 unblockable wave stuff that she may or may not use in the second phase that can be used to inflict maximum damage once she's done casting them). I'd say Isidora and Crisanta only require patience.
@@Derp24 Blasphemous's story is about a corrupted version of Spanish Catholicism ala the miracle, high wills and etc. Hollow knight is about underground bug culture, ancient societies and royalty. They're only similar on a superficial level as both of them are metroidvanias, every game that shares a genre might as well be the same game if that's the case lol
Honestly i don’t understand why more people dont play this game. I mean the lore, the design, THE OST??? plus each DLC has been absolute gold we truly dont deserve The Game Kitchen
That is Awesome! GG! 😀🤘 Wow! Dude you have a lot of patience, Blasphemous is quite challenging, it can be raging at times, but when finally beating the Main Boss it's so worth it😀.
I feel like I've seen this fighting style before. Hmmm, throws a boomerang that deals more damage at max range, a big pillar of damage...hmmm...ahh well, my mind can't seem to crack the whip to that answer.
I really loved this boss fight and the theme overall, I had a blast with it. I think it took me like six tries to defeat it and I used the blood mist instead. I think the Nightmare Grimm boss from HK was more brutal imo. That fight alone took me like two days to beat LOL. That being said... it takes a lot of practice to reach the level of skill to defeat Isidora this quickly and with no damage!
Learning to block her scythe and learning her attack patterns is better than "powering up". Then equip zarabanda of safe haven or tiento prayer to help
this boss fight with the ng+ mod that halves your damage was my worst fight in the game, it took 31 tries. The pathetic damage dragged the second phase too much and the long first phase meant that I couldn't get easy practice to memorize the patterns.
I love this game and Isidora's boss fight took me by surprise for the first time without being able to pause, but the only thing I don't like is the fact that it doesn't keep anything but mea culpa abilities not even the bones or the damage is maintained, it feels like I'm back from zero and my previous effort was useless (apart from the achievements)
I agree. I'm a few hours into II and prefer the original. Honestly the entire game feels a lot less dark and gothic than the first did. I like II, but I don't love it like I do Blasphemous 1.
@@Sapo_samurai the world feels far more linear with less stuff to find when you back track, and you hit the nail on the head with the gothic statement. The Miracle feels way less unknowable acting more like a generic evil god then a strange unknowable force. Also it may just be my skill issue but enemies feel way more bullshit
@@JimmyJohnson-fv3mq You're correct about the enemies. The devs stated that they completely threw out the first game's combat system. Blasphemous 1 was more about timing and precision, but this time around it feels more like you're dependent on the upgrades you have more. I think they were trying to make the game more like Castlevania or hollow knight, which sucks because Blasphemous 1 had its own unique feel.
@@Sapo_samurai I don’t feel the new game is very hollow knight-ish since hollow knights combat is all about being super precise with your tiny moveset, blasphemous 1 was all about chaining your smaller move set to find the best thing to work with each boss. Blasphemous 2 feels more like dead cells and og castlevania with the weightier movesets and overall dps check bosses that can be beaten with 1 consistent strategy. 2’s also super sparing with I-frames like og castlevania so maybe they were just trying to replicate the classics
The more I play this game, the more I realize how good it was. I find myself coming back to this more than Hollow Knight, and I consider Hollow Knight to be an amazing game. I just prefer the the aesthetic, soundtrack, story, and combat of Blasphemous. Playing it in Spanish especially is such a memorable experience. Hollow Knight had harder bosses if you include Absolute Radiance and Nightmare Grimm, but Hollow Knight is a bit too long, so getting back into it is always a much bigger commitment than Blasphemous.
I probably never will care about hollow knight. Occasionally I get fanboys in my comments trying to convince me it's the better game but If that were true they wouldn't need to try and sell it so hard.
@@Sapo_samuraiIt’s not a bad game but I have a feeling a lot of diehard Hollow Knight fanboys never played other games in the metroidvania genre. They think act too much like Hollow Knight invented 2D games, it’s really embarrassing.
This game looks awesome. Just went to steam to buy it after watching this video and discovered I have owned it since December 2019 and have probably scrolled past it in my library countless times since then. Guess I know what I'm playing tonight.
One thing I will never do again in another blasphemous playthrough is to get that f***ing permanent Mea Culpa heart (Apodictic Heart) for the third ending😑 it makes the chrisanta fight like 10 times harder and you can't remove it once you put it in the sword so pretty much you have permanently screwed the rest of your playthrough until you manage to beat Super Chrisanta that's ridiculously hard now.
So I’m the only stubborn one who went in wayy under level to her boss fight? (Went in on sword lvl 5 and right after picking up the thing that makes the blood platforms appear) took me like a hour or so but eventually I beat her
@@Sapo_samurai I completely understand, I feel silly the thought had never occurred to me. Like, I can can slide through her strikes too... jumping was, clearly above me. Thats a super fervor get-up too!
Some Metroidvania games are hit or miss for me. Loved guacamelee ori and the lost forest but I couldn’t get into hollow knight nor axiom verge. I tried more than once. This has my interest for sure
Everyone bounces off HK. But the people who end up sticking with it even if it takes 3 or 4 tries usually end up think it as an all time favorite. This was also the case for me. I'd recommend getting a few hours past Greenpath before writing it off, because it's a game that's pacing is kinda stilted at the beginning, but continuously gets better.
Yeah but... what about parrying every dash hit (even the ones when she disappears) on the fight? That's how I and a friend beaten her and we're pretty proud of it
anyone else spend 3 hours of their day off walking from Albero to her lair over and over again after slowly getting further and further in the bossfight until you eventually beat her?
that's the pilgrimage, that's the penitence

@@enumaelish11pedestrian are the ways of the Miracle

We can say that the lore is reflected in the mechanics of the game then 😮

I've severely underestimated the usefulness of prayers which I'm starting to realize now that I'm doing Unwavering Faith
@@atlas16198 yeah prayers are so good, you can like 4 shot bosses if you play your cards right. it makes everything easier
really loved the prayer that makes you invincible for a short period so you can tank bosses with the fast upwards cancel attack
thats why isidora is still my favourite boss. Quirce is also awesome, but when the fight turns into a dance, you know you are in for a treat.
She's a very interesting design.
the Amenecidas are a way better dance tho
@@yosefyonin6824 for real? I didnt Play through them 😭
I never experienced a game like Blasphemous. Story, Bosses, Music, Voicelines, Lore... truly astounding and brilliant!
Very Cultured.

@@PerritoGG you can teleport from hotels to hotels once you've offered something like 20000 at the church.
This epic fight should be enjoyed longer ;( her singing changes during the second phase which is really epic
Have to cut her off early or she'll sing your ears off.
I love when someone makes a boss look like child's play only for me to go try and get obliterated instantly. What an effect haha
Expectations vs Reality 😂
Really showing how underrated blood projectile is
He wasn't trapped with Isidora..Isidora was trapped in a boss fight with him.
So satisfying. I couldn’t beat her but you make it look absolutely casual.
Impressive, that takes a lot of time and patience to get this good at Isidora.
Welp, now I know what penance im trying next
Does not matter how many hours we have on Blasphemous, SPIKES are (STILL) your worst nightmare haha!
Everything about this game is perfect. That's why I'm so hyped about Blasphemous 2 :D
Watching this almost convinced me this would be easy, if it wasnt for the fact that I was doing this boss for 7 hours and screaming in rage
Im actually more blown away by this game playing it again and 100 percenting it all. You can see the attention to detail and passion put into it.
The second phase of the crisanta fight broke me.
Now I'm ready for *anything.*
Now, this is the Great Humiliation that Deogracias spoke of.
Today i learned: that you can BLOCK her spinning attack, smh i feel dumb for eating those attacks
Same but it was sierpes I didn't know you can parry his lightning haha!
But there's one attack you can't parry those anointed legion soldiers and Esdras those down to up swing can't be block!
isidora, voices in my head
Insane optimization during the change to phase 2. This is a Debla of the Lights household.
Now a NG+ version of this. Kudos, well done.
Thanks!
@Sapo_samurai how did you slash with a blue projectile at the end?
The Ishida fighr is like an anime battle ❤
Now you have to spend 300+ hours in Blapshemous 2
300 years.
That is Awesome! GG! 😀🤘 Wow! Dude you have a lot of patience, Blasphemous is quite challenging, it can be raging at times, but when finally beating the Main Boss it's so worth it😀.
Thanks a bunch.
4 hr in...super confused but having fun exploring the map. I love this game
You’ll get it buddy
Very good bro!! This boss is my prefered of the game as well as the in-game theme song but the music in it's entire EPIC
I feel like I've seen this fighting style before. Hmmm, throws a boomerang that deals more damage at max range, a big pillar of damage...hmmm...ahh well, my mind can't seem to crack the whip to that answer.
FLAWLESS VICTORY !!!

gosh the improvement is so drastic when u compare 1 to 2, such a nice redemption by the Devs
I'm been stuck on this boss for a couple days, 2 hits from her and I'm dead ....I need to power up badly!!

Because you should’ve deal damage with your prayers and not your sword
i did to shorted the second phase it is hard to build up fervor so I didn't have constant spell damage@@80l08
Amazing. She is the hardest boss in the game, but you cleared this like it was nothing.
Have to show her who the man is.
@@Sapo_samuraiwell done brother ❤
This is the penant that takes 4 hit to kill a hopper
Looks like just using a lot of magic
I feel like an idiot to having realized just now that you can jump over her blink attack, damn
Sometimes the only way to go is up.
At 160 hours and still In love with this game
When I got into the fight for the first time, I tried to switch up my Rosaries.
Not being able to pause scared me lmao
best boss in the game didn't feel like any of the others came close to how satisfying her fight was.
Barely letting her enter phase two like a boss
Made it look easy
bro went ultra instinct
Isadora, blade of the dead.
You can jump over this quick dash...? Well, I think I will stick to blocking it because I did it SO MANY TIMES ALREADY
Abt 200 hrs in and all my boss fights looks like tiento of thorned hairs spam and up slash canceling..
I did this method just to be a cutie pie.
Omg its emabassing to admit i spent 4 days trying to beat her and then seeing this 😭 well played
Her 1 attack can be parried as well as her every scythe swing
Yep but its hard to catch the timing
What 300+ hours of being a mad lad looks like.
Congratulations, for defeating Isidora. Your video is very good
Finally someone fighting the way it was meant to be in this game, not smashing buttons
Penitent one is a man of prowess.
