Are you struggling to reach 100% completion in Blasphemous 2? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Many players are having trouble getting the Consummate Collector achievement. But I’ve got good news – I’ve finally figured it out and I’m here to share my tips with you. Good luck and happy hunting!
Key notes on how to unlock it
- IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW MANY ITEMS YOU COLLECTED BEFORE. When ascending your save slot to NG+ the progress is all gone. You need to collect EVERY item in your NG+ run again, base game + DLC.
- YOU NEED ALL 6 REWARDS FROM NG+ Do this by selecting enough penances at the beginning of your NG+ run (until the skull is fully decked out in jewelry/ornaments)
- THERE IS A BUG WITH THE LUMPS OF GOLD. They might disappear partially or completely from your inventory, locking you out of the achievement. The reward for handing in all 20 are 2 new items (one at 10 and the other at 20). Collect and turn in the lumps of gold one by one to circumvent the bug.
Detailed explanations
Like a lot of other players, you may have a 100% save file from the base game before the DLC and already had every item collected.
You may have played through the DLC and noticed the counter from the achievement going up but stopping at 23/31 or 24/31 or even 25/31 items.
The problem on how to get the rest is probably that you are missing the 6 item rewards from finishing New Game plus (NG+)
Note that you have to find ALL possible items in the game during the NG+ run
It doesn’t matter how many items you found before, but the achievement counter may still reflect your highest count of items found and you will only see it go up further when your overall count rises above that number.
The counter is a little bit misleading showing only 31 items. If you only collect the 31 new items from the DLC it is not enough. The 31 items are counted ON TOP of the base game items.
To summarize, you need to collect 100% of the items from the base game + 100% items from the DLC in your NG+ run
Don’t worry if you finished NG+ and got all 6 rewards and the counter from the achievement didn’t progress. You might simply be missing other items and have not yet found enough new items overall to progress the counter to a new all time best.
- The number of NG+ rewards you get at the end depends on how many penances you select at the beginning of your NG+ run.
At the start of your run you will be able to select any number out of 8 penances.
You need to select enough so that the little skull shown in the menu has the maximum number of ornaments/jewelry pieces possible.
Some people say you need 5/8 or that it is enough to select the first 4. Penances might have different weights.
- The 6 possible rewards are 4 altar figurines, 1 quick verse and 1 chant.
You will get them at the very end after defeating the final boss and after the cutscene IIRC.
So if you are still at 30/31 items when finishing your NG+ with all 6 rewards DON’T PANIC!
You are probably just missing one, have a look at my checklist and continue from there by looking at specific guides
[Bug] Beware of the Lumps of Gold!
If you played the DLC you probably noticed some shiny golden balls on the floor.
Those are the Lumps of Gold, there are 20 of them overall.
Turn them all in for 2 new items.
THERE IS CURRENTLY A BUG where they may disappear from your inventory!
This will lock you out of the rewards and the achievement and is to be avoided!
NEVER HAVE MORE THAN 1 IN YOUR INVENTORY AT ANY TIME
If you see one I suggest marking them on your map and just leave them for now.
When you are done with the run and killed the final boss you will be back in the starter town.
Now is the time to finally collect them.
Then go to a lump of gold you marked on your map, pick it up and immediately teleport to the tree to hand it in.
Repeat for the others until you are done with all 20!
You will get the prayer bead Traitor’s Gaze after turning in 10 and and the altar figurine The Liberated for turning in all 20.
I read some reports that the prayer bead also disappears from the inventory or even the prayer bead that was switched out when equipping it
This bug will probably be patched this week anyways. For now, be wary of them!
Checklist
- 33/33 Rosary Beads (27 from base game, 6 from the DLC)
- 26/26 Prayers (17 from base game, 7 from DLC, 2 from NG+ rewards)
- 46/46 Altar Figurines (33 from the base game originally 35 becuase 4 will burn down to 2 stumps for getting the “Incense of the Envoys” item, 9 from the DLC, 4 from NG+ rewards)
- 16 Quest Items (probably not counting for the achievement)
Im not sure if quest items even count towards the achievement.
Personally I believe they don’t matter for the achievement but don’t quote me on that
My 16 Quest Items at the end were as follows:
- Steely Battle Lance
- Ceramic Key
- Broken Key
- Key of the Pilgrim
- Key of Endless Orison
- Key of Salt
- Key of the Council
- Mirrored Key
- Cursed Letter, Page One
- Cursed Letter, Page Two
- Cursed Letter, Page Three
- Cursed Letter, Page Four
- Cursed Letter, Last Page
- Incense of the Envoys
- Cloth of the Old Woman -OR- Scroll of the Elder (depending on your choice with Castula & Tifon)
- Beatus Lacrimatorio
