Read Guide →Blasphemous 2: The Third Sin starts with the Lamp of the Whisper of the Mist, Passage of Ash double jump, the lower Choir of Thorns route, and the lake chariot to Castle of the Mist. Once inside the castle, the main path is: meet Eliseo, get Embrujo, clear the Darbon route fight, find the gas-control NPC, restore the central lift, get Broken Ring of Sealed Eyes, open half-face doors, defeat Crescencia, then finish 100% cleanup.

This is the cleanest order for a first clear.
| Order | Goal | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Get Lamp of the Whisper of the Mist | Lets you enter the DLC fog route |
| 2 | Have Passage of Ash double jump | Needed to reach the lower Choir of Thorns route |
| 3 | Go to lower Choir of Thorns | This is the real entrance direction |
| 4 | Use the lake chariot | Takes you to Castle of the Mist |
| 5 | Follow the early Castle route | Leads into Geometry of Knowledge and Eliseo |
| 6 | Meet Eliseo | Adds three objective markers to your map |
| 7 | Get Embrujo | Unlocks whip routes, bells, and blue mirror rings |
| 8 | Clear the Darbon route fight | Opens deeper Castle progression |
| 9 | Find the gas-control NPC | Clears the larger purple mist / gas blocker |
| 10 | Return to the central lift | Opens the lower route |
| 11 | Get Broken Ring of Sealed Eyes | Opens half-face and lady-face doors |
| 12 | Defeat Crescencia | Completes the main DLC route |
| 13 | Start full cleanup | Marks, offerings, servants, prayers, altarpieces, skins, map completion |
To enter The Third Sin, you need three things:
| Requirement | What to check |
|---|---|
| Lamp of the Whisper of the Mist | Found from the Our Lady of the Chalices side route; double-jump up, enter the right room, and interact with the coffin |
| Passage of Ash | This is the double jump ability from main-game progression |
| Lower Choir of Thorns route | Go to the bottom of Choir of Thorns near the Icebound Mausoleum side |
| Lake chariot | Interact with the chariot and choose Yes to cross to Castle of the Mist |
Once you arrive in Castle of the Mist, do not start by clearing every side room. Follow the main route until the castle gives you the tools to solve its blockers.
| Route section | What to do |
|---|---|
| Early Castle rooms | Follow the open route and do not force sealed paths |
| Short purple cloud section | Keep moving through it; do not stop inside the cloud |
| Geometry of Knowledge | Climb the vertical route, use movable ladders, and check upper / lower exits |
| Eliseo | Talk to him and follow the three objective markers added to your map |
| Usurped Halls / Darbon route | Expect a mid-route fight before deeper Castle progression |
| Embrujo route | Get the weapon and backtrack through bells, blue rings, and whip targets |
| Gas-control route | Reach the NPC / control room to clear the larger purple mist blocker |
| Central lift | Return after the mist / gas route is solved |
| Broken Ring route | Ride the lift down and stay on the lower route until you get the ring |
| Half-face doors | Return after Broken Ring of Sealed Eyes |
| Crescencia route | Finish the main boss route before full cleanup |
Embrujo is the new whip-style weapon in The Third Sin. It is not only a combat weapon; it is also the tool that makes many Castle of the Mist routes work.
| Embrujo mechanic | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Long-range whip attacks | Hits enemies and route objects across gaps |
| Blue mirror rings / lit emblems | Lets you pull through air routes |
| Chiming bells | Creates temporary platforms or route changes |
| Wail of the Flame | Powers up Embrujo after repeated hits |
| 19 Marks of the Embrujo | Upgrade currency for the weapon |
For controls, upgrades, Wail of the Flame, and weapon comparisons, use the Embrujo Weapon Guide.
Most players get stuck when these blockers start overlapping. Treat them as a fixed sequence, not separate puzzles.
| Blocker | What solves it |
|---|---|
| Purple mist / gas | Find and complete the gas-control NPC route |
| Central lift | Return after the mist / gas route is cleared |
| Lower route | Ride the restored lift down and stay on the new path |
| Half-face / lady-face doors | Get Broken Ring of Sealed Eyes first |
| Old blocked rooms | Revisit only after the matching blocker is solved |
For the exact stuck route, use the Lift, Mist & Half-Face Doors Guide.
After the main route is solved, use this as your cleanup checklist.
| Category | Count / goal | Detailed guide |
|---|---|---|
| Marks of the Embrujo | 19 total | All Mark of the Embrujo Locations |
| Offering materials | 12 total: 4 Cracked Ceramic, 4 Rusted Silver, 4 Old Gold | All Collectibles & 100% Cleanup |
| Servants | 3: Silver Tears, Moonchild, Breastplate of Mourning | All Collectibles & 100% Cleanup |
| Third Sin prayers | 4: Jaleo, Garrotin, Vidalita, Carcelera | All Collectibles & 100% Cleanup |
| Altarpieces of Favours | 9 | All Collectibles & 100% Cleanup |

|---|---|
| How to Start The Third Sin DLC | You have not entered Castle of the Mist yet |

| Problem | Fast answer |
|---|---|
| I cannot start the DLC | Check Lamp, Passage of Ash, lower Choir of Thorns, and the lake chariot |
| I entered Castle but cannot find the route | Follow the early open path into Geometry of Knowledge and meet Eliseo |
| I see whip targets everywhere | Get Embrujo first, then return |
| The purple mist blocks me | Find the gas-control NPC route instead of forcing the cloud |
| The lift does nothing | Clear the gas / mist route first |
| Half-face doors stay closed | Get Broken Ring of Sealed Eyes from the lower route after the lift |
| I am missing one Embrujo upgrade | Use the all Marks guide instead of guessing by room memory |
| I want 100% | Finish main progression first, then clean by category |
Get the Lamp of the Whisper of the Mist, unlock Passage of Ash for double jump, go to the lower part of Choir of Thorns near the Icebound Mausoleum side, follow the fog route, then use the lake chariot to reach Castle of the Mist.
Follow the open early route through the short purple cloud section, climb into Geometry of Knowledge, meet Eliseo, check the three map objectives, then push toward Embrujo.
Embrujo is the new whip-style weapon. It is used for long-range attacks, bells, blue mirror rings, lit castle emblems, Wail of the Flame, and many Castle of the Mist route puzzles.
There are 19 Marks of the Embrujo in The Third Sin. They are used to unlock Embrujo upgrades.
Get Embrujo, find the gas-control NPC route to clear the purple mist, return to the central lift, follow the lower route to Broken Ring of Sealed Eyes, then revisit half-face and lady-face doors.
Start full cleanup after Embrujo, the mist route, the lift, Broken Ring of Sealed Eyes, and half-face doors are solved. Cleanup is much easier once the castle routes are connected.
