How to unlock the The Desire of the Corrupted achievement in Blasphemous - Definitive Guide

There’s two ways you can get this achievement. The first is to finish Gemino’s side-quest and access the tomb directly. The second is to use the Linen of Golden Thread relic (unlocked by freeing 20 Children of Moonlight and talking to Jocinero) to jump down a bottomless pit to the left of Gemino and head left until you reach the tomb from there. I’ll elaborate on the first method in more detail now.

To start, it should be noted that it is on a timer that - to my knowledge - starts when you enter Where Olive Trees Wither. Talk to Gemino and he’ll give you an Empty Golden Thimble. From here, get to the room before the Our Lady of the Charred Visage fight and you’ll find that you can interact with a pile of flowers. Do so, then kill the Lady. A sort of standing chalice with a yellow liquid will be visible in the room to the right of the Lady’s that you can interact with. Do so, and head to Gemino immediately to give the now filled Thimble to him. Head left to a cave. At the end will be a statue. Give it the flowers and jump inside.

From what I can gather from comments on Reddit and Steam forums, this quest line is either bugged, or has some kind of obscure timer attached to it (or both), which will mess up your chance of getting this even if you do it in the correct order. If the pile of flowers doesn't show up for you in the corridor before the Our Lady boss room, chances are that the tomb won't open for you, even if you get the thimble back to Gemino and get the Frozen Olive from him. As far as I can tell, if this happens, the only way to get into the tomb room and get the achievement is the Linen of Golden Thread method.

To clarify using the Linen of the Golden Thread, I came back multiple times throughout the game after getting the Golden Thread expecting the tomb to open but it never will. The Golden Thread doesn’t open the tomb so you can jump through like the other method. Once you have the Golden Thread, you have to drop down into the pit in the area outside the entrance to the cave and then go left to get the achievement.

This is located in Where Olive Trees Wither. You can enter it two ways:
  • Complete Gémino's sidequest. Gémino is located right at the entrace of Where Olive Trees Wither. Speak to him to get an Empty Golden Thimble which you have to fill with oil in Convent of Our Lady of the Charred Visage. The oil can be found in the room right after Our Lady of the Charred Visage. Fill the thimble and bring it back to Gémino. This will unlock a secret cave a ways left of Gémino (where you can find the Incense Garlic), getting you the Frozen Olive rosary bead and an entrance to the tomb, if you also picked up the Dried Flowers Bathed in Tears in Convent of Our Lady of the Charred Visage, right before the Our Lady of the Charred Visage boss fight. Place the flowers atop the grave and jump into it to get this trophy (and also find the Saeta Dolorosa prayer).
  • Get the Linen of Golden Thread relic from Jocinero (see Skin and Bones for more information). With this relic, fall down the bottomless pit in the screen left of Gémino and leave the cave you fall into to the left to get to the tomb.
