There are seven shrines in the game, when you unlock each one you will get a MAJOR DAMAGE BOOST, so it's highly recommended to get as soon as possible.
Once you get all 7 shrines, you can buy all the skills (to be honest, most of them except SLIDE and DROP-DOWN were useless to me).
This is the map I used to unlock all the shrines:
Note the map changed a bit since 2020 updates, but it doesn't really affect any achievements - you can safely follow it. Don't worry.
Follow this tutorial by MetroidvaniaX to get all the shrines and their requirements:
Also, it will take you around 150 000souls Tears of Attunement to buy all the skills.
Let me know if you need any more help! Happy hunting and PRAISE THE SUN!

Note: This guide is focused on a farm method to get all the Mea Culpa upgrades as quickly as possible. See the other guide for how to completely upgrade the weapon.
Equipment for farm: Heart of the Holy Purge, Cante Yondo of the Three Sisters, and Scaly Coin.
How to earn equipment:
- Scaly Coin: Complete 6 of the 7 Confessor Dungeons. For further information, see
- Heart of the Holy Purge: At the right-middle of Jondo will be a platforming section. The Heart’s on the other side.
- Cante Yondo of the Three Sisters (requires Linen of Golden Thread, Blood Perpetuated in Sand, and Three Gnarled Tongues relics): Head to the third floor of Archcathederal Rooftops and head right. Jump into the second pit you see in the room. From here, just head left. For information on how to obtain the relics required for this Prayer, see
The Farm: Head to the bottom of Archcathederal Rooftops and save to restore your fervor (provided you’ve upgraded your save points, otherwise grind Tears for that first). Head left and use the Prayer to kill the two enemies in the room, earning you 640 Tears (if you have the Coin and Holy Purge Heart equipped); afterwards, save and repeat.
You should have most of the Mea Culpa upgrades by the time you finish the game (I had 3 or so left), so worst case scenario is doing this for 20-30 minutes.

Everytime you find a Mea Culpa shrine (see Mea Culpa for more information) you will be able to further upgrade The Penitent One's arsenal of moves. Find all seven shines and subsequently buy all upgrades and you will get this trophy.
