Blasphemous Blade Location

Defeat Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy and Trade In His Remembrance

The Blasphemous Blade can be obtained by beating Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy, then turning in his Remembrance to Enia at the Roundtable Hold to get the weapon.

Rykard's boss room can only be reached by teleportation. You'll have to either take a teleporter at the end of the Volcano Manor Legacy Dungeon, or complete 3 assassinations for Volcano Manor to get Tanith to teleport you to the boss room.

How to Reach Rykard's Boss Room

1	Speak to Lady Tanith and join Volcano Manor in order to receive the Drawing Room Key.
2	From Lady Tanith's Room, enter the hallway to your right, then unlock the first door on the right using the Drawing Room Key. Roll into the Illusory Wall right in front of the corpse to unlock a hidden path.
3	Explore the inner walls of Volcano Manor. In the room with a group of Snails, take the downward steps.
4	Continue navigating the inner walls until you reach the Prison Town Church site of grace. There will be a Bloodhound Knight on the way to the site of grace, but you can sneak past him.
5	Navigate through the prison town to get to the bridge and reach the Guest Hall. You can parkour across the rooftops as a shortcut.
6	Climb the ladder on the right side of the building, then drop down the left side of the roof to reach the balcony from which you can enter and unlock the front entrance.
7	Go to the basement to reach the door that leads to the balcony overlooking the lava pit, and to unlock the Guest Hall site of grace in a side room.
8	Drop down from the balcony and traverse the lava pit, then go up the steps and slope to the right.
9	Take the east cage lift up to reach the Temple of Eiglay.
10	Pull the lever past the Blackflame Monk to lower the bridge for a shortcut to the Prison Town Church site of grace.
11	Defeat the Godskin Noble inside the Temple of Eiglay to unlock the pillar elevator leading to the temple's balcony.
12	Drop down from the temple balcony, climb up to the lava lake, and go straight through the prisons and verandas running along the lava lake's perimeter to reach a door that leads back to the main manor's premises.
13	Enter the large hall and head to the balcony via the doorway to the left of the Man-Serpents at the top of the stairs.
14	Take the teleporter on the balcony to reach Rykard's boss arena. Note: If you want to get all the item rewards for the Volcano Manor assassinations, don't kill Rykard immediately. Instead, go through the Volcano Manor Questline and complete all 5 assassinations (including Bernahl's and Patches' requests) before you kill Rykard.
15	Defeat Rykard to obtain the Remembrance of the Blasphemous.
16	Teleport to Roundtable Hold and trade the Remembrance of the Blasphemous with Enia to obtain the Blasphemous Blade.

Reach Tanith in Volcano Manor via Altus Plateau or Rya's Questline

To reach Volcano Manor and get the Drawing Room Key from Tanith, you can either travel from Altus Plateau and the Bridge of Iniquity, or you can progress Rya's questline enough in Liurnia to make her spawn in Altus, so that you can talk to her and teleport straight to Tanith.

Progressing Rya's questline is the easiest, and fastest, way to get to Tanith. Take note that she can spawn in two locations in the Altus Plateau, depending on how you enter the region.
