Solving the riddles in the Cursed Letters quest in Blasphemous 2 can be very challenging as certain letters can be very vague. Here's a handy guide to help you complete this quest and get A Leap of Faith trophy.

Blasphemous 2 has several side quests that you can complete to obtain great rewards. One of these quests is regarding a specific set of letters that require a lot of riddle-solving skills. The quest is called Cursed Letters and to complete it, you must lift The Curse of The Unforgiven. 

This quest also has its own trophy called A Leap of Faith so it's pretty much mandatory to complete it if you want to unlock all trophies. 

Below, we'll go step by step on how to solve this quest. Since you've probably got the first letter, otherwise you wouldn't be here, we'll start from the location of the second letter. But if you haven't started this quest, you can find the first letter in Sacred Entombements, in the area left of the first Prie Dieu. 

How to solve the Cursed Letters quest in Blasphemous 2?

Note: Obviously, this guide contains a lot of spoilers for this particular quest and it's very specific with details so have that in mind before you start reading. 

The Second Cursed Letter location

As you have probably read in the first letter, you need to find the biggest Mirror in Cvstodia and stand near it. If you've visited and explored Two Moons you'll probably remember a large room with a big mirror in the middle. That's where you need to go. Here's the location on the map:

Once you're there, stand near the mirror so you can see the reflection of the Penitent One. Then press the crouch button (the down arrow on D-Pad on the PlayStation controller) and hold it for a couple of seconds until you get a message that you've received the second letter.

The Third Cursed Letter location

This one is pretty easy.

Once you've read the letter, you will probably figure out where to go next, but if you're struggling to find the location, here's a bit of help. The Pit mentioned in the letter is found in the City of the Blessed Name. Here is the location:

Once you're there, simply stand on the edge of the pit and wait a couple of seconds until you receive the third letter.

The Fourth Cursed Letter location

In the third letter, you'll read about an old bell, lying broken on the ground next to a wall that can seemingly be broken. This bell is found in the location called Mother of Mothers, which is just below Profundo Lamento. Here is the location of the bell on the map:

The Fifth letter location

In the fourth letter, you'll learn about an old man who told the Pilgrim to pass under a certain relic two times. The letter states that this relic is a skull that watches everyone like a cyclops with its one remaining eye. 

The location of this relic is in The City of the Blessed Name. It's a shop of the "Hand merchant" on the right side of the City. Above the entrance to the shop, you'll notice a skull with one eye. Simply pass below it two times in any direction and you'll receive the final letter.

Wrapping up the quest and receiving rewards

The last letter you receive will reveal to you that our Pilgrim, who we followed on this journey, has sadly, decided to take his own life by jumping from a nearby cliff. That cliff is found in Profundo Lamento, just left of the elevator that takes you down to  the Sea of Ink. Here's the location on the map.

Once you get there, jump from the cliff to lift the curse. The message will appear on the screen with the confirmation that the curse has been lifted and the "Leap of Faith" trophy should unlock.

You'll also receive a special Chant called Seguiriya to the Memory of Your Eyes, which stops time for a few seconds. It's one of the most powerful spells in the game.
