Blasphemous 2: Best Boss Fights, Ranked

Key Takeaways

  • Blasphemous 2 offers new weapons and bosses, with distinct gimmicks and atmosphere for captivating boss fights.
  • Some boss fights like Svsona are lackluster, while fights like Sinodo offer great design and challenge.
  • Eviterno stands out as the toughest and most rewarding boss in Blasphemous 2, providing a satisfying challenge.

As a seasoned Metroidvania enthusiast with countless hours spent traversing dark and ominous realms, I must confess that my personal favorite boss fight in Blasphemous 2 is none other than the formidable Eviterno – First of the Penitents and the Last Desecrator.


In the sequel to Blasphemous 2, combat mechanics are developed further by introducing various weapons for The Penitent One to utilize. Additionally, a fresh roster of eerie yet captivating boss characters inhabiting the realm of Cvstodia have been designed for players to encounter. Each of these boss battles presents unique quirks and atmospheres that set them apart amidst the bleak backdrop of the game’s apocalyptic environment.

As we eagerly await the upcoming Mea Culpa DLC for Blasphemous 2, with its introduction of two new areas, bosses, and other content, let’s reminisce about the past and rate each boss in the base game from least to most formidable.

11 Faceless One

Chisel Of Oblivion

AreaRepose of the Silent One
Rewards500 Tears of Atonement and 1 Mark of Martyrdom

In the sequel to “Blasphemous,” The Faceless One kicks off the action as the initial boss encounter. Designed as a learning experience, he helps players grasp the fundamental mechanics of the game. With just two attacks, which can be skillfully dodged by jumping or crouch-dashing, he is the most straightforward and unremarkable battle in the game.

10 Svsona

Formosa Fembra

AreaTwo Moons
Rewards7500 Tears of Atonement, 4 Marks of Martyrdom, and Mirrored Key

In the game Blasphemous 2, the second to last boss, Svsona, falls short of player expectations. Given its position deep within the game, players anticipate a thrilling and engaging battle. Unfortunately, Svsona is a rather dull boss with weak attacks, resulting in a fight that feels underwhelming and unengaging.

Although Svsona’s character design is impressive, her fight isn’t without its flaws. Yet, there’s an appealing aspect to this battle: if players manage to finish Yerma’s side quest, they might encounter Yerma in the fray. Svsona proves challenging because she seems capable of displaying greatness with more moves, but unfortunately, her current repertoire falls short.

9 Orospina

Lady Embroiderer

Blasphemous 2: Best Boss Fights, Ranked
AreaPalace of Embroideries
Rewards2000 Tears of Atonement and 1 Mark of Martyrdom

Primarily, Orospina stands out as an impressively designed boss battle. However, her position on the list is lower due to other battles in the game offering greater appeal and charisma. Orospina exhibits a high level of skill with her rapier, demonstrated through precise moves.

Beyond these advantages, there isn’t much excitement happening during this battle. It’s just a well-executed boss fight that fulfills its purpose, but it lacks anything particularly remarkable to offer.

8 Radames

The Great Preceptor

AreaSacred Entombments
Rewards2000 Tears of Atonement and 1 Mark of Martyrdom

Radamés is a formidable adversary with powerful yet predictable attacks, showcasing an impressive design and atmosphere. However, the battle against him can sometimes feel tedious due to its repetitive nature, as his moves aren’t particularly flashy and are generally straightforward to avoid.

The unsettling aura he exuded on the battlefield, as well as the shift to the second stage, are striking features that make Radamés an authentic nightmare of an adversary during the initial gameplay.

7 Benedicta

Of The Endless Orison

Blasphemous 2: Best Boss Fights, Ranked
AreaBasilica of Absent Faces
Rewards3000 Tears of Atonement, 3 Marks of Martyrdom, and Key of Endless Orison

Fighting against Benedicta is an exciting and distinct challenge. A significant part of the battle involves leaping among platforms to strike Benedicta who floats in the air above you. The fight is quite demanding as Benedicta possesses potent abilities that can swiftly diminish the Penitent One’s health if players aren’t vigilant.

In a grand and challenging manner, this boss battle pushes the players’ skills in navigating platforms and controlling movement within the game. While Benedicta may not be extraordinarily remarkable, she embodies the twisted essence of the world, Cvstodia, perfectly.

6 Incarnate Devotion

The Last Child Of The Miracle

Blasphemous 2: Best Boss Fights, Ranked
AreaCrimson Rains
RewardsEnding A and Ending B

In my gaming experience, Incarnate Devotion stands as the ultimate adversary in Blasphemous 2’s epic tale. However, this final showdown seems more like a warm-up than the climactic battle I was anticipating to truly wrap up the base game.

With Veredicto’s Verdict and fervent cries at its core, most players should find this boss conquerable with relative ease. The captivating visuals, arena design, sound effects, and skills make it a spectacle worth witnessing. It’s these factors that earn Incarnate Devotion the sixth place ranking – even though some may consider its final encounter underwhelming.

5 Sinodo

Hymn Of The Thousand Voices

Blasphemous 2: Best Boss Fights, Ranked
AreaThe Severed Tower
Rewards5000 Tears of Atonement, 4 Marks of Martyrdom, and Key of the Council

As a gamer, I’ve found Sínodo to be an extraordinary boss, a testament to The Game Kitchen’s creativity in crafting challenging encounters. With a variety of faces, each one comes with unique attacks that keep me on my toes, making every battle an exhilarating dance of anticipation and reaction.

In the game, Sínodo’s masked face shares a resemblance to Our Lady of the Charred Visage from the base version, but it offers a thrilling battle experience that presents players with an exciting twist as they traverse The Severed Tower. Sínodo exemplifies a well-balanced boss fight, offering both challenge and entertainment.

4 Odon

Of The Confraternity Of Salt

Blasphemous 2: Best Boss Fights, Ranked
AreaSea of Ink and Sunken Cathedral
Rewards3500 Tears of Atonement, 3 Marks of Martyrdom, and Key of Salt

In the game Blasphemous 2, Odón is the sole character that players may come across twice while traveling through Cvstodia. Initially, the emissary of the Confraternity of Salt is met on the path leading to the Submerged Cathedral. Following a short confrontation, he departs and grants access to the cathedral for the players.

Once you’ve thoroughly investigated the cathedral, the true confrontation against Odón will ensue. This is a challenging boss fight where things can escalate rapidly if players are not careful. Odón unleashes powerful attacks and boasts strong defense capabilities as well. Facing Odón serves as an excellent measure of a player’s combat skills, making it one of the toughest bosses in the game.

3 Lesmes And Infanta

Incorrupt Sacristan

Blasphemous 2: Best Boss Fights, Ranked
AreaCrown of Towers
Rewards2000 Tears of Atonement and 1 Mark of Martyrdom

In this engaging game, Lesmes and Infanta form an iconic series of battles. Initially, combatants face off against Lesmes. Once he’s vanquished, Infanta steps up as the next adversary. Believing they have reached the end, these formidable foes, the dynamic duo, reunite for a climactic showdown, aiming to intensify the pressure on The Penitent One.

This boss encounter is delightfully chaotic, yet balanced – every attack seems fair. The disorder only amplifies the appeal of the battle, making it more captivating. Lesmes and Infanta elevate the exceptional zone of Crown of Towers with an outstanding fight, one of the finest in the entire game.

2 Afilaor

Sentinel Of The Emery

Blasphemous 2: Best Boss Fights, Ranked
AreaSacred Entobments
Rewards2000 Tears of Atonement and 1 Mark of Martyrdom

In the game Blasphemous 2, Afilaor stands out as the most spine-tingling supervisor. Encountered swiftly post leaving Mother of Mothers (an exceptional zone in all Metroidvanias), Afilaor is equally a remarkable adversary due to his three stages of breathtaking maneuvers that can take players unawares. Yet, with practice, every one of his moves can be thwarted. It’s this balance of challenging yet gratifying encounters that makes him one of the finest bosses in the game.

As they continue to engage with the battle, players will find themselves growing increasingly captivated by it. The tense environment of the arena and the intriguing shifts in Afilaor’s fundamental attacks across different phases are what truly set this boss fight apart as a brilliant design.

1 Eviterno

First Of The Penitents and The Last Desecrator

Blasphemous 2: Best Boss Fights, Ranked
AreaCrimson Rains
Rewards10000 Tears of Atonement and 5 Marks of Martyrdom

In the realm of Metroidvania games, Eviterno stands out as one of the toughest boss battles, and arguably the most challenging in Blasphemous 2. The Penitent One faces their greatest test yet against this final foe. Although the initial phase isn’t overly demanding, it’s during the second phase where the battle truly intensifies.

With Crisanta’s Crimson Sword now wielded by him, Eviterno transforms into a formidable swordsman of doom. His attacks are flamboyant, swift, and challenging to evade without impeccable timing. Players should be prepared for numerous encounters with Eviterno before mastering his relentless attack strategies. Overcoming Eviterno is undeniably one of the most gratifying sensations in the game, as he stands as the most difficult boss across the entire series.
