You can strengthen the Penitent One in Blasphemous 2 in various ways, with your bile flasks being among the more important ones. They allow you to carry more flasks, make them more effective, and even increase your total health points. This provides you with a solid safety net that you will need for the later stages of your journey.
Whether you want to endure longer battles than before or enjoy the added convenience that comes with stronger healing options, there are various upgrades you can aim for to get everything you desire and more out of your bile flasks!
Blood Upgrade Overview
Before we delve into the individual upgrades for your bile flasks, let's briefly discuss where you need to go for blood upgrades and what each item does. You need to visit the Blood Upgrade Lady in the city with the blessed name to obtain each upgrade for your bile flasks or to increase your maximum health points.
By offering empty vessels, magnificent chalices, and crystal shards, you can enhance your bile flasks and the overall health of the Penitent One. Therefore, it is worth spending time and effort to seek them out. The following sections will delve into detail about what the Blood Upgrade Lady offers and how you can benefit from her advantages!
How To Upgrade Bile Flask Limit
If you find empty vessels and bring them back to the Blood Upgrade Lady in the city with the blessed name, you will be rewarded with additional bile flasks, increasing your limit by one flask for each empty vessel found.
You start your journey with two bile flasks and can find four more, allowing you to have a total of six bile flasks. And if that's not enough to sustain you in battle, you can also increase their effectiveness, which we will discuss in the following section!
How To Upgrade Bile Flask Potency
In addition to increasing the number of bile flasks you can carry, you can also enhance their overall effectiveness by finding silver-coated crystal shards and bringing them back to the Blood Upgrade Lady in the city with the blessed name.
In Blasphemous 2, there are only three silver-coated crystal shards to be found. Each of these shards grants a significant boost to the effectiveness of your bile flasks, allowing you to restore more health with a single sip than before. This enables you to conserve more flasks during combat!
How To Upgrade Maximum HP
Lastly, we have magnificent chalices, your main method to increase your total health points. There are five magnificent chalices that you can find and bring back to the Blood Upgrade Lady in the city with the blessed name. Each chalice grants you an additional +30 health points.
When you start your adventure, you only have 150 health points, but they can be doubled if you find all five magnificent chalices. This will increase your total health points to 300.
However, this can still be expanded by offering your blood sacrifice multiple times to the grand chalice in the Blood Upgrade Room. This ultimately rewards you with an additional +30 health points, allowing you to reach a total of 330 health points!
While the additional health points you can gain by offering blood sacrifices to the grand chalice in the Blood Upgrade Room are worth it, we recommend doing this only after obtaining all the other upgrades for the bile flasks. If you do it earlier, it will eventually result in the complete removal of the skin of the Blood Upgrade Lady, rendering her unable to interact with you anymore!
