Key Takeaway

To increase your maximum Fervour in Blasphemous 2, you need to kneel before the giant hand in the Streets of Wakes area. When you do, you must offer it a Fervent Kiss to upgrade your Fervour bar by 30 points. For every Fervent Kiss you give the giant hand, they’ll upgrade your Fervour bar by another 30 points.

Just like upgrading your max health, you can increase max Fervour in Blasphemous 2. To do so, you’ll need to find the Fervour Upgrade room and give the NPC that’s within some passionately described quest items. Pucker up!

    Where to Find the NPC That Upgrades Your Max Fervour

    The NPC that helps you increase max Fervour in Blasphemous 2 is located in the Streets of Wakes area. From the first Prie Dieu in this region, go left and you’ll find a giant hand that’s being kissed by a few humans. We’ve marked the Fervour Upgrade room in red on the map image below.

    Before you can begin upgrading your Fevour bar, you must kneel before the giant hand.

    After you do so, you’ll soon get another dialogue option. This time, if you have a Fervent Kiss in your inventory, you can give it to the giant hand in order for them to upgrade your Fervour bar by 30 points.

    Every time you return to the giant hand in the Fervour Upgrade room and give them another Fervent Kiss, they’ll upgrade your Fervour bar by an additional 30 points.

    We’ll level with you: this is a pretty weird mechanic. It makes sense within the lore of the world. However, when we see these giant hands throughout Blasphemous 2, we can’t help but think of Master Hand from the Super Smash Bros. series. What’s more, kissing Master Hand was the last thing on our minds while doing battle with it.


    Since Prayers and other powerful abilities need Farvour to be used, you’ll definitely want to increase how much of this resource you have at hand…(sorry for the pun). While you’re rounding up the many upgrades in Blasphemous 2, be sure to unlock more Rosary Bead slots to increase your defenses. You never know what miraculous horror awaits you around the corner.
