45 achievements, ten categories
The wiki groups them by what you were doing when you earned them, and that grouping is more useful than a flat list — it tells you which system is missing from your save.
| Category | Count |
|---|---|
| Bosses | 11 |
| Upgrades | 6 |
| Enemies | 5 |
| Items | 5 |
| Quests | 4 |
| Exploration | 4 |
| Challenges | 3 |
| Others | 3 |
| NPC items | 2 |
| Endings | 2 |
Eleven of the 45 are boss kills, which makes bosses the single largest block. If you are at 30-something achievements, the missing ones are almost certainly in Upgrades or Items — the two categories that depend on collection rather than progress.
Trophy hunters: the same 45 on PlayStation
The wiki states that achievements in Blasphemous are identical on all platforms, so a PlayStation trophy list is the same 45 entries with the same requirements — including Bronze Medal and Requiem Aeternam. Nothing is platform-exclusive, and no DLC is needed for any of them.
The only platform difference worth knowing is timing: Bronze Medal is a 3-hour clock, so it should be attempted on a fresh save rather than after a long completion run.
Bosses — 11 kills
| Achievement | Requirement |
|---|---|
| A Long Path Ahead | Defeat the Warden of the Silent Sorrow |
| The Sister | Defeat Perpetva |
| No Mercy | Defeat Ten Piedad |
| Danse Macabre | Defeat the Tres Angustias |
| Look Her In The Eye | Defeat Our Lady of the Charred Visage |
| The Brother | Defeat Esdras, of the Anointed Legion |
| The Bejeweled Saint | Defeat Melquíades, The Exhumed Archbishop |
| Blind Innocence | Defeat Exposito, Scion of Abjuration |
| Ashes to Ashes | Defeat Quirce, Returned by The Flames |
| Duel of Faith | Defeat Crisanta of the Wrapped Agony |
| Summa Blasphemia | Defeat His Holiness Escribar |
These are unavoidable on a normal run, with one exception worth flagging: the story lets you avoid killing Esdras, and doing so skips The Brother. If you are completing the list you have to fight him, which means the “spare him” route costs an achievement.
Upgrades — 6 caps to hit
| Achievement | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Blood and Tears | Unlock all abilities at the Mea Culpa altars |
| Mea Culpa | Reach the maximum Mea Culpa level |
| The Fountain of Life | Reach maximum flask capacity |
| Six Stinging Pains | Reach maximum health |
| Baptism of Faith | Reach maximum fervour |
| Engracia | Reach the maximum number of rosary bead slots |
This is the category that most players finish last, because four of the six are “reach the cap” rather than “do a thing”. Maximum Mea Culpa level means all 7 altars; maximum bead slots means handing Knots of Rosary Rope to Engracia until you have 8.
Enemies — 5 kill counters
| Achievement | Requirement |
|---|---|
| The Number of the Beasts | Kill 666 enemies |
| Bestiary | Defeat the 51 original enemy types |
| Inquisition | Execute 5 different enemies |
| Detestatio Sacrorum | Complete all the arena’s challenges |
| Power Unleashed | Use a Righteous Riposte 5 times |
666 kills arrives on its own during a completion run; 51 distinct enemy types does not, because several enemy types live in single optional rooms. Inquisition and Power Unleashed are mechanic tutorials disguised as achievements — both want you to use the riposte and execution systems deliberately.
Items — 5 collection lists
| Achievement | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Mysteria Lucis | Get the 30 original rosary beads |
| Heartbreaker | Get the 9 original sword hearts |
| Skin and Bones | Get the 7 original relics |
| Unwavering Devotion | Get the 13 original prayers |
| Warden of the Ossuary | Get the 44 original collectibles |
Five separate counters, and the numbers are the useful part: 30 beads, 9 hearts, 7 relics, 13 prayers, 44 collectibles. Four of the 9 hearts come from puzzles, so the puzzle list and the heart list are the same task.
Quests — 4 chains
| Achievement | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Mediterranean Diet | Save all Kissers of Wounds |
| Warm and Soft | Hatch the Egg of Altasgracias |
| True Shrine | Bring all the offerings to Lvdovico |
| Rebirth | Help Cleofás on his path of redemption |
Both Mediterranean Diet and Rebirth are missable. Kissers of Wounds pays out in escalating herb rewards, and Cleofás has a route that can end badly if you take the wrong branch — the quest guide covers both paths.
Exploration — 4 map milestones
| Achievement | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Cvstodia’s Pilgrim | Discover the main areas of Cvstodia |
| Last Words | Discover the last words of the 26 original corpses |
| The Bull and the Moon | Release all cherubs |
| The Desire of the Corrupted | Visit the tomb of The Lady of the Tailed Gown |
Last Words is the one that needs a relic: Shroud of Dreamt Sins lets you hear corpse dialogue, and 26 corpses means 26 rooms you have to stand still in. Without the relic equipped, a corpse is scenery.
NPC items and endings
| Achievement | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Flea Market | Buy all the items of the Candelaria shops |
| In the name of the High Wills | Bring all offerings to the Lord of the Salty Shores |
| The Path of the Believer | Unlock ending A |
| The Path of the Unworthy | Unlock ending B |
Both endings are required for the list, which means at least two playthroughs — or one playthrough plus a reload at the point of divergence. Ending A is the one most players get first; the endings guide covers the branch condition.
Challenges — the three that filter completionists
| Achievement | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Requiem Aeternam | Defeat the original bosses without consuming any bile flask |
| Bronze Medal | Pass through the bronze door on the Bridge of Calvary in less than 3 hours |
| Witness of The Miracle | Beat 100% of the game |
Bronze Medal is a clock, not a skill check: the bronze door has to be reached in under 3 hours of play. That is a routing problem — skip optional areas, skip the puzzle hearts, run the boss order. Attempting it on a save you have already explored will not work, because the timer starts with the save.
Requiem Aeternam forbids consuming a flask while beating every original boss. It is a no-consumption run rather than a no-damage run, so passive healing from beads and Prie Dieu rests are still available.
Witness of The Miracle wants 100%, which in Blasphemous means all six collection counters plus map completion plus both endings.
Others — 3 easy to miss
| Achievement | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Crossing Souls | Provoke the meeting between Redento and Cleofás |
| Dying Breath | Witness the dying moments of Viridiana |
| Ultreia Et Suseia | Help the pilgrim reach his destination |
All three depend on NPCs you can walk past. Crossing Souls in particular needs two questlines advanced to the same point so the two characters meet — advance one too far and the meeting never happens.
The order that avoids a second full run
- Play normally to both endings. Reload at the divergence rather than restarting.
- Keep Shroud of Dreamt Sins equipped from the moment you get it. 26 corpses is the easiest list to break by walking past.
- Do the 5 puzzles before the final boss. Four hearts sit behind them.
- Buy every altar ability as soon as the level gate opens — 101,500 Tears total, and the achievement only fires at all 15.
- Save Bronze Medal for a dedicated fresh save. It cannot be retrofitted.
- Do Requiem Aeternam on a maxed save so boss fights are short and flask-free.
