The cloak lands with enough force to shake the room, and he becomes much faster without it weighing him down. The Coats Are Off: The Executioner casts off his cloak at the halfway point of his boss fight.There's also a flip side, as consistently failing to pray at the statues soon incurs powerful debuffs. You can also expend faith at the statues in order to gain blessings, remove curses, or even open up some areas. Clap Your Hands If You Believe: Faith is used for casting spells in place of mana.Praying enough times will destroy the rock and set the Virgin free, at which point you can decide her fate. Praying to the statues on either side of her will make the rock sprout fleshy arms and attack you. Chained to a Rock: The Virgin is bound to a rock by strands of Meat Moss.For instance, The Executioner is subtitled as "Shatterer of Flesh", while The Fallen One is subtitled as "Fallen Bulwark". Boss Subtitles: Some bosses already have subtitles as part of their names, but others will see this trope in play.Damaged armor can be repaired with the Pieces of Armor consumable item. Each pip in the armor bar blocks one attack, and enemies cannot damage your health until your armor is fully depleted.

The little green monsters in the Den of Corrupted Nature have bony scythes in place of hands.The Executioner has a large semi-circular blade under one of his forearms, which he uses for attacks that have shorter reach, but are much faster than those of his glaive.Even many of the boss battles often take place in low-visibility conditions. Anything that's not lit is extremely dark, while the light sources themselves frequently flicker. Blackout Basement: It's not called Dark Devotion for nothing.


Elemiah's katana is much thinner, but is nevertheless taller than she is.When the protagonist can use it, though, it really looks like something out of Final Fantasy. The aptly named Asriel's Massive Sword.
