#Lady of the Charred visage and those pits are ROUGH

Blasphemous always seemed really fun but I always found metroidvanias confusing... how do you know if you're doing something wrong?

I mean you either can or can't get through the area, it's normally apparent in a metroidvania if you are missing something like a double jump or air dash or whatever. Modern ones usually let you mark your map for easier back tracking.

There really isn't anything you can do wrong in a metroidvania though, you poke into the map's empty corners or go somewhere you have been already to see if a new movement ability lets you get anything new. If you get stuck-stuck, you can always look up a guide. Blasphemous 1 isn't that bad about letting you know what you should be doing, and 2 a lot more straightforward.
