Blasphemous 2 

What are the best Blasphemous 2 resonances? If you’re looking to imbue the Penitent One with additional abilities, then Favours are your best bet. These carved statues are procured on your journey across Cvstodia, and each one offers a unique flat-rate bonus to some aspect of your kit. However, these buffs don’t even scratch the surface of their full potential, and we’re here to take you through all the secret resonances they contain.

Blasphemous 2 resonances are powerful hidden buffs that are unlocked by pairing certain Favours together in your Altarpiece of Favours. However, with 35 Favours to choose from, there’s a high chance that you might miss out on the best resonances Blasphemous 2 has to offer. You can swap out your Favours by speaking to the Sculptor in the City of the Blessed Name, though searching for every combination can be an arduous task – though, no more arduous than tracking down Blasphemous 2 cherubs or Blasphemous 2 wax seeds. To save you time, we’ve tested every Blasphemous 2 resonance combination to bring you the best of the bunch. Take a look.

Best Blasphemous 2 resonances

In our experience, the best Blasphemous 2 resonances offer passive effects that can be triggered at will. The ability to stop time and regain Fervour while swigging a Bile Flask is invaluable for turning the tide of battle back in your favor (no pun intended) – especially once you’ve got enough Blasphemous 2 healing upgrades under your belt to use this power strategically.

We’ve also opted for resonances that generate additional AoE damage when using Veredicto, but you may wish to swap this out if you prefer to use one of the other Blasphemous 2 weapons instead. Finally, you can reap the benefit of Thorns generated by your dodge, so you can still bring the pain even while prioritizing keeping yourself alive.

The best Blasphemous 2 resonances are:

  • Alchemical Time
  • Briar and Thorn
  • Deflagration
  • Liquid Faith

Type resonances

The best Blasphemous 2 resonances are only available when combining two specific Favours. However, it’s also possible to pair two Favours of the same type for a general buff to a specific weapon. This is likely the first kind of resonance you unlock during your playthrough, and you might wish to opt for one if you’re crafting a build around a specific weapon.
