Ten Piedad means \u201cHave Mercy\u201d in Spanish, which is fitting. It\u2019s what you\u2019ll be begging this second boss in blasphemous<\/a> for by the end of your first attempt at killing it. <\/p>\n

In this guide we\u2019ll walk you through how to destroy this boss, and get past them onto more punishing ones. <\/p>\n

Long Range Tactics<\/h2>\n

This boss absolutely loves to try to keep you at a distance and hurt you. It has an attack that sees it grow vines out through the ground in your direction. (https:\/\/colorreflections.com\/<\/a>) <\/p>\n

This will cause a lot of damage, and there\u2019s very little you can actually do about it. <\/p>\n

The only way to deal with this AoE attack is to get up close and personal, which means subjecting yourself to the slightly more powerful attacks that Ten Piedad will pull out at this point. <\/p>\n

Short Range Whalloping<\/h2>\n

When you\u2019re up close with the boss, it\u2019ll try to hit you with its standard attacks. <\/p>\n

These you can parry to get more hits in. Watch out for two attacks that you can\u2019t parry though.<\/p>\n

The first of these is a sweep that will knock you off your feet and way back from the fight. <\/p>\n

At this point you\u2019ll be lucky if the boss doesn\u2019t doe an AoE attack to try to keep you at bay. <\/p>\n

While you\u2019re up close though, the attack you\u2019ll be dealing with most is the Stomp. <\/p>\n

This is just what it sounds like. The boss picks up each foot in turn and smashes them down. <\/p>\n

This can occur in quick succession, so be quick in your movements to avoid them. <\/p>\n

The best tactic here is to dodge through all of the attacks you see coming your way. <\/p>\n

Deal damage whilst the boss is looking for you, or readying another attack, and dodge again. <\/p>\n

Second Phase<\/h2>\n

Yes, Ten Piedad is a boss with two phases. You\u2019d be forgiven for not noticing though, because there\u2019s no visual indication that anything has changed. <\/p>\n

This phase sees the boss able to spread three or four more vines with its AoE attack. <\/p>\n

This basically means that if the attack is coming your way, you can\u2019t avoid it. It stretches over the entire arena. <\/p>\n

The sweep it does will also have a longer reach, making it nigh on impossible to avoid. <\/p>\n

The best thing you can do is block, dash, and dodge out of the way of all of these attacks, as and when possible. <\/p>\n

Never Stop Moving<\/h2>\n

My advice for this fight is to avoid standing still at any point. Ten Piedad thrives on hitting you where you stand. It\u2019s very easy for it to hit you when you\u2019re not moving. <\/p>\n

By constantly running, dashing, and jumping, you\u2019ll find that the boss is barely able to hit you. <\/p>\n

However, this comes with the struggle of understanding how you\u2019re moving. <\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not used to all of that quick movement, then you might fail the fight because you can\u2019t keep up with what\u2019s going on. <\/p>\n

Learn how The Penitent One moves, to the point that you can do it with your eyes closed, then you\u2019ll stand a good chance of getting through this fight. <\/p>\n

With that said, it isn\u2019t that bad even if you barely understand how the jumping and dashing mechanics work.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s all for our guide to this boss. If there\u2019s something you think we missed, please let us know in the comments. <\/p>\n
