How to unlock the Skin and Bones achievement in Blasphemous - Definitive Guide
This achievement is missable if you completely ignore the Kissers of Wounds in Albero.
Shroud of Dreamt Sins: To start, you must deliver the Bouquet of thyme to the Kissers of Wounds before you kill Ten Piedad. You’ll find it to the left of the teleporter in Albero, which can only be accessed (at this point) from the teleporter in Mercy Dreams; you’ll find it in the bottom-right of the area. You will receive the Linen Cloth. Head to the fountain to the left of the Kissers and interact with it to be teleported to a place that includes a character who you can give the Cloth to. Do so to obtain the Shroud of Dreamt Sins.
Blood Perpetuated in Sand: Head to the middle-left of Mercy Dreams to run into a merchant. You’ll notice that one of the items she has for sale is a key. Snatch it, and head to the Brotherhood of the Silent Sorrow. Upon entering the area, you’ll see a door, use the key to unlock it. The relic is inside.
Silvered Lung of Dolphos: Upon entering Grievance Ascends from Jondo, head down, then right through the corridor (a teleporter is to the left). Head down until you see another corridor, go through it. Afterwards, head up, and to the right. Complete the platforming section to earn the relic.
Nail Uprooted from Dirt: When entering Jondo, you’ll find a pilgrim unable to move on due to the moving platforms being inactive. Head through the whole area until you’re on the other side, at which point activate a switch to the right and talk to him again. He will move to the Brotherhood of the Silent Sorrow. Enter the area via the Mountains of the Endless Dusk and move up; you’ll find him again. Complete the platforming section that can be entered in the door next to him and break the fake wall when on the other side, then talk to him. He will then move to the Wasteland of the Buried Churches; the right-hand side to be precise. You’ll need to bring down 2 platforms in the room. Talk to him afterwards, and he’ll move to the very right of the Patio of the Silent Steps. Simply kill the enemy that’s in the room and talk to him. He’ll move one more time to the Mother of Mothers. Equip the three beads he gave you and a door will open that has the relic inside. In addition, upon leaving the room, you’ll also earn
Three Gnarled Tongues: At the bottom of Grievance Ascends, you‘ll find an egg with three slots next to it. These slots must be filled by the following items:
- Black Grieving Veil; found in the middle-left of Desecrated Cistern
- Torn Bridal Ribbion; purchase from the merchant at the Graveyard of the Peaks, specifically to the left of the elevator that takes you to Albero
- Melted Golden Coins (requires Blood Perpetuated in Sand relic); found in the middle-right of Grievance Ascends
Put the items in the slots to hatch the egg, awakening Altasgracias. She/they will give you the Egg of Deformity. Take it to the Mountains of the Endless Dusk, specifically where you fought Perpetva, and insert the Egg into the fireplace. Leave the room and immediately return to obtain the Hatched Egg of Deformity, which also earns you
Incorrupt Hand of the Fraternal Master (requires Nail Uprooted from Dirt relic): Enter Desecrated Cistern from Wasteland of the Buried Churches and head down all the way. At the bottom, where there’s a dead body on a platform, dodge through the secret hole in the wall and jump up to receive the Served Hand item. Take it to the fountain to bless it.
Linen of Golden Thread: Free 20 Children of Moonlight, then talk to Jocinero - located in The Sleeping Canvases - to receive this relic.

Missable
Relics are items that let you interact with certain objects in the world. None of them are necessary to complete the game but they are necessary to get a lot of items/collectables. You can have up to three relics equipped at the same time, though you can switch them around any time in your inventory. Some of the relics are obtained by completing certain side quests, which in turn are missable. So should you miss out on the side quests, you miss out on a relic, which in turn will not let you get some of the trophies, much less this one.
