Ah, in my humble opinion, thou art fortunate indeed, Mea Culpa, for thy worthiness shines as bright as the sun. Mud Keys, the newest treasure to covet in the Mea Culpa DLC for Blasphemous 2, are a challenge to acquire. Fear not, for in this tale we shall reveal the whereabouts of each key and the path to take upon collecting them all.
Wherefore to seek Mud Keys and Doors in Blasphemous 2: Mea Culpa
Mud Keys are the vital instruments needed to acquire Mea Culpa, the legendary blade from the first Blasphemous chapter. A total of five keys lay scattered far and wide, awaiting a brave soul to claim them. Fret not, for we have devised maps to unveil the starting point and guide thee to thy destination.
Pray, consider that this guide assumes thy deep exploration of the base game. Mea Culpa’s DLC proves to be a formidable challenge, demanding possession of all three base weapons and each movement ability ere one can venture forth.
Further, be aware that each segment doth lead thee to the mud door containing the subsequent key (barring the first, of course). Fear not, for each ‘key’ realm doth unfold in a linear fashion unlike any other encountered deed, though it be fraught with fiends and perils.
Hark! ‘Tis important to note that thou mayst venture unto any of the doors listed henceforth upon securing the initial key from the Streets of Wake. Thou art not bound to follow this guide in a chronological manner; thou mayst explore at thy leisure, yet ensure thou secure at least the first key from Streets of Wake.
In the Streets of Wakes Lies the Key
At the commencement of the DLC, a key awaits thee to initiate the quest. Venture downward from the Prie Dieus, as witnessed in the video below, in the Streets of Wakes, and turn to the right. Interact with the grand grate upon the ground, leading thee to the main questline of the DLC. Trust the clay men nearby to guide thee to the key’s presence.
With the prized key in hand, thou mayst proceed to any desired locale, yet I do recommend commencing with the closest one before thee.
The Key of Icebound Mausoleum
An unfamiliar domain within the DLC, the Icebound Mausoleum presents formidable adversaries. Proceed straight ahead until an encounter with the initial Prie Dieus of the area, then follow the path as revealed in the video. Prepare thyself, for this domain shall claim much of thy time.
Initially, venture left, retracing thy steps, and enter the Mausoleum itself. Wander within to uncover hidden secrets or follow the video for a direct path to the key. Lend an ear to the Clay Lady’s tale of woe, and receive the second key as thy reward.
Once more, within the Icebound Mausoleum Doth a Key Lie
Indeed, a second key lies concealed here, requiring an arduous journey through the dungeon to discover. Continue thy exploration until encountering the Prie Dieus depicted in the map below. Refer to the vast dungeon map to locate the key, using other landmarks as guides if needed.
The Key of Choir of Thorns
Perchance thou shalt find little favor amidst the Choir of Thorns, a place of great disdain for many. Not unlike the infamous ‘swamp’ of Miyazaki, though it be a forest teeming with spikes and robed sorcerers. Proceed with caution.
The third key and door await thee here! Yet first, thou must acquire the ‘Broken Step’ ability, a new gift from the DLC permitting passage over silver platforms.
To initiate thy journey, leap unto the teleport room within the Choir of Thorns rather than near a Prie Dieus. The one from the base game is more convenient and leads swiftly to new encounters. The eyes in the sky, depicting the map in the video above, shall guide thee towards the destination. Alas, with the DLC’s release, many new paths unveil themselves for exploration. Waste not a moment if desiring to delve into the unknown, for I, personally, could not flee this place swiftly enough.
Venturing into the Labyrinth of Tides
This expedition proves lengthy, both in distance to the key door and the prize itself upon arrival. Utilize a nearby Prie Dieus for proximity, then follow the video below. Beware the potent adversaries lurking within this domain; swift movements shall aid thee against their relentless onslaught.
As thou approacheth the key door, mind the green pot resting upon the left side, as depicted in the video. ‘Tis a specific note, for I, too, in my haste, overlooked its presence and spent a fruitless span pondering mine own misjudgment. Mine eyes, it seems, deceive me more oft than I wouldst admit.
The Sanctum of Santa Vigilia and Its Key
This particular key proves easily obtainable, with but a few foes to vanquish en route. The key chamber itself offers a brief challenge, a delightful conclusion to thy quest, shouldst thou choose to claim it last. Unless, of course, thine aptitude for platforming mirrors mine, and a challenge awaiteth thee.
First, seek the nearest Prie Dieus within the Sacred Entombments, following the path in the video guide thereafter. Fear not to hasten through the process if thou wishest, for thou shalt return hither once all keys are in thy possession, a surprise awaiting thee upon thy arrival.
The Ceramic Key and Its Unveiling
The final key obtained shall be a unique artifact, known as the Ceramic Key. Once acquired, venture forth towards the ultimate door, residing back within the Icebound Mausoleum, wherein all shall be revealed.
The Ultimate Mud Door Awaits
The final portal, bearing a semblance to mud yet deserving a grander name, lies within the Icebound Mausoleum, as foretold aforetime. Descend to the dungeon’s deepest recesses, a daunting path indeed. Ere thee reach the door, a confrontation with a newfound adversary looms, a challenge akin to a barrage of bullets. Overcome the trial, proceed rightward from the battle’s aftermath, and encounter a cleaner, more inviting door. Therein awaits the culmination of thy quest for the Mud Keys.
