40 free Blasphemous trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Blasphemous turned the imagery of Spanish religious processions into one of the most striking action games of its generation: a punishing pilgrimage through a land of saints, sinners and grotesque miracles. Its pixel art is beautiful and brutal in equal measure, and much of its story is buried in item descriptions that reward close reading. This quiz pays special attention to the rosary beads, the equippable charms that shape how the Penitent One fights and survives: what individual beads do, where they are found, and which characters hand them over. It also covers the relics, bosses, pilgrims and merchants met along the way, the endings, the free expansions and the sequel. The opening questions suit anyone who has finished the first few areas. Later ones are for players who have filled every rosary slot, chased the hidden ending and read the lore behind each bead.
