Defeating Berial:
Use Grim Grip to reel yourself close to his head and attack with your sword. Once the combos are done use
Grim Grip while still in the air. When his flames are gone, jump up to his head. Grab his head with the
Devil Bringer then once he lands from that use Devil Bringer again to throw and punch him. After that,
run away a short distance because he will release an explosion in the area around him. Make sure to pick
up Green Orbs from the destroyed buildings and roll to avoid his flame geysers and sword attack. Continue
attacking in this manner and use your Charge Shot to defeat him in under a minute.
Defeating Blitzes:
Use the following trick to defeat a Blitz as Nero. To lower the Blitz "electricity shield" quickly, use
charged pistol shots with Devil Trigger activated. The most effective method seems to be as follows.
- Charge a shot.
- Go into Devil Trigger.
- Release the shot, maybe a few more.
- Turn off Devil trigger, and repeat.
This will quickly give you Super Smokin Stylish before he has even dropped his shield. This will work
even with a level 1 Charge Shot, and should be much easier if you have level 3. Once his shield his gone,
use Devil Trigger again, and use the Devil Bringer to devastate him. Three throws should be enough to
send him into "red mode". Once he goes red he will try to grab you and suicide himself to seriously drain
your life, or kill you. Shoot normal shots at him to get more Smokin Stylish points at this point, and
finish him off handily.
Use the following trick to defeat a Blitz as Dante. Use Royal Guard style along with the Gilgamesh
gauntlets. While the Blitz is in his yellow "electricity shielded" state, get close to him and press
[Melee] + [Style] repeatedly and quickly. You will be performing a punch and canceling it with a Royal
Block very quickly. Think of the [Style] move as the attack. Try to constantly use [Melee] + [Style]
repeatedly. You will raise the letter grade of your style meter with each hit, and quickly lower the
electric shielding. You are basically hitting the shield yourself, then blocking that hit so fast that
you cannot see it happen. Again, just press [Melee] + [Style] at the same time. This may be somewhat
tricky at first, but eventually becomes easy. Once his shield is lowered, quickly switch to swordmaster
style. Use Real Impact uppercut with the Gilgamesh gauntlets at least twice. Throw in a Kick 13 if time
permits, and/or a Shocking. He will go into his overdriven "Red Mode". Quickly switch to Lucifer and
perform Bondage. If done correctly you should finish him off and get a huge stylish ranking out of one
Blitz.
Defeating Sanctus:
Use the following trick to defeat Sanctus inside of Sparda in Mission 20. While Sanctus is airborne in
his shield, get close and break it with sword attacks just like earlier in the game. However, he will
sometimes block with the Sword of Sparda. When he does this, use the uppercut technique to break his
guard. If you are skilled you should use the Devil Trigger while he is in the air to use a special
combo to force him to the ground. If you fail to do the air combo just let him fall to the ground. You
may be able to get a few sword-based shots in but do not try to rely on this because he may escape. At
this point, use the uppercut in Devil Trigger form, if at all possible. Afterwards he will go back to
being airborne again, in which case you should drop the Devil Trigger. After you have broken his
health down to about the 10% to 15% mark, he will use a charging sword attack (however, if you have
perfected the aforementioned combo, you may bypass this). Defeating him requires timing. At the
precisely the correct moment of his charge towards you, uppercut and break his guard. Again, as soon
as it is broken get into the Devil Trigger uppercut and finish him off. In the second battle against
Sanctus, as the False Prophet, timing is once again crucial. All you must do is uppercut his attacks
away.
Defeating Sparda:
Sparda can be knocked on his butt by using the Pandora's PF398 Revenge technique. With Pandora
equipped, hold X and make two complete circles with the Left Analog-stick and fire at Sparda. It may
require two shots but he will fall as though you used the stationary cannon.
Defeating Demonic Bosses:
You can use Nero's Devil Bringer to defeat Demonic Bosses. Before you daze any demonic Boss, get your
Devil Trigger as high as possible. As soon as the enemy is dazed, hit the Devil Trigger and use the
uppercut on the enemy. Using it in different areas of the enemy's body results in a nice combo.
Mission 7: Easy orbs:
Use the following trick to collect 4,300 Red Orbs in about twenty seconds. At the start of the
mission, destroy the rocks to the left of you. Proceed into the tunnel and also destroy the rocks
that are there. You will see the big red crystal near the Secret Mission. In order to get the most
orbs, start with the Stinger then immediately go into Devil Trigger mode and quickly mash away.
Once done, press Start, go to "Systems" then "Retry Mission". This is the easiest way to get a lot
of Red Orbs in a short amount of time.
Sanctus' Shield:
To easily drop Sanctus' Shield during either of his encounters, make sure you have a full Exceed
gauge (Ex-act or Max-act helps). Approach Sanctus, jump, and perform an Ex Calibur. If the full
combo hits, his shield will be down. You can now proceed to make him fully vulnerable to attack
using the above method, or however desired.
Easy Combat Adjudicator for Dante:
To get the stylish points for the Combat Adjudicator (machine that measures style) with Dante, use
the Lucifer weapon. Execute the Pin-Up repeatedly. Hold RB + Forward + Y to execute the move.
Dark Slayer style:
This style is for Dante only. To use it, press the D-pad in any direction twice. He will say "Get
Set" to confirm correct entry. The attacks are really powerful, but kind of slow.
