  • Mission 17: Adagio For Strings

    1. When you Power Up, look if you want an upgrade for your new weapon, Lucifer.
    2. There's a combat adjudicator in the next room here, but it's for Nero. Jump down and move on east. Head out the door and break the dumpsters around here.
    3. Move on to the open wooden area where you faced Scarecrows near the beginning of the game. Some Scarecrows will spawn to fight you, followed by Bianco Angelos, followed by an Alto Angelo. You can try out Lucifer here if you like, or take care of them simply. You'll have to head east and through the door.
    4. Move on, break the dumpster and jump up in the watchtower for secret orbs. Once you move through the archway, an Assault will spawn directly behind you, with more Assaults and Mephistos on the way. Take care of the Assaults first with persistent sword attacks, then use Pandora to de-cloak the Mephistos. This can be done in two shots, you can slice them sufficiently. Break the red crystal and pots and barrels around here for orbs, then move on ahead.
    5. When you get out in the street a little bit, many Scarecrows, a couple of Mega Scarecrows and some Basilisks will attack you. You can basically leave the Mega Scarecrows alone, as they're surprisingly unaggressive. Take your space and kill the Scarecrows and Basilisks first. All of these sorts of enemies require the same strategy: Keep attacking them so they can't attack you.
    6. After that fight, look at the east/southeast part of the map. Notice the restaurant with an awning and a red orb on top of it. Jump on that awning and you'll see a blue orb fragment up above. Unfortunately, the jump requires just barely more than a wall kick or Air Hike alone to jump up there, so you must activate Devil Trigger to use both. Grab it and move south. All the garbage cans and benches yield orbs when destroyed.
    7. In the Opera House Plaza, there's a Secret Mission (#12) on your right, behind a garbage can. It's in front of the gate, so check that out before you continue through the arch and encounter another small fight. This one is against a team of two Mephistos, then two Alto Angelos, then a Faust. You know how to beat all of these enemies from before, and Pandora just makes it easier. Go up to the Opera House and walk around it. You'll find a Divinity Statue. Get ready for the next boss.

  • Boss #13: Agnus

    1. Congratulations on fully backtracking as Dante. This time you'll be fighting a bug-form of Agnus, who returns with only one new attack: summoning Basilisks.
    2. Keep Sword Master and use your air O attack to hit him for lots of damage while he's in the air. In general, save your Devil Trigger for situations where he grabs you and attempts to suck your life. Make sure you hit him when he says "Time to die!" and charges a black cloud around himself. If you hit him as he says this, he can't use that attack. Otherwise, keep slicing, use Pandora and heal with Devil Trigger.
    3. Collect the red orbs afterwards and then move onto the blue glowing platform to end the mission.

  • Mission 18: The Destroyer

    1. The last Hell Gate is destroyed, so this mission is all about the Savior. Use your last Power Up as Dante wisely. Your enemy is the Savior for this entire mission. Don't worry, it'll probably take longer than a regular mission would, despite the fact that it's sort of one huge boss battle.
    2. You must destroy the blue crystals on the Savior's head, shoulders, arms, ankles and back to earn your way into the second phase. It is very important that you make sure you fully destroy all these crystals, because they will burst not once but twice before they count as destroyed. The game has given you a new power through Yamato with the Devil Slayer style, but I would suggest switching back to Sword Master. Yamato's special attack (back + O), while able to fully destroy the crystals in one hit, takes a long time to charge and you'll probably just get hit. I'd prefer slashing the crystals enough to fully destroy them.
    3. Savior's Attack Patterns:
      1. Elbows you.
      2. Slaps the floating platform you're on.
      3. Crushes the platform you're on, which causes you to fall.
      4. Kicks your platform, which causes you to fall.
      5. Crouches, then side-kicks the low area above your platform.
      6. Shoots orbs at you, or charges his ultimate beam attack, which will destroy about one fourth of your health immediately.
    4. The best way to dodge every one of these attacks is to simply move on to a blue platform and move to the next place. Several others can be simply side-rolled or jumped over. Make absolutely sure you move to another platform when he charges the last of those attacks I mentioned, and then go ahead and move one more platform over just to be safe.
    5. There are two different ways to destroy the arm, shoulder and head crystals. For the first technique, hit the blue pedestals for the laser cannons at two separate points along the platforms to trap an arm. You can then jump along it and slash the crystals. For the second technique, wait until the Savior slaps your floating platform so you can jump on, after you dodge the slap. While you're up on either of the arms, be sure to shoot the head crystal, which will set off a cutscene.
    6. In order to reach the ankle and back crystals, you have to reach one of the cannons on the extreme ends of the series of platforms. They're sort of hard to reach, as the Savior will destroy platforms inevitably, but you have to reach one and hit the blue pedestal next to it to cripple the Savior. Open up a straight line of jumps to each of the ankle and back crystals , and shoot or slash them. If you've fully destroyed each crystal, you'll be brought back up to be subjected to the Savior's ultimate attack.

  • Boss #14: The Savior

    1. Now you get a life bar, and are able to auto aim on the Savior's chest crystal. The Savior's attacks are the same, but you have to keep shooting at his chest crystal with Ebony & Ivory and jumping platforms to dodge attacks. Once you've gotten enough shots in, the Savior will collapse much as he did when you used the cannons, and you'll be brought right in front of the jump you need to hit so that you can slash his chest crystal over and over. You have to do that twice before the Savior will finally die.
    2. It's generally advisable to get next to the blue platform you're going to use before you start shooting the Savior. This way you can just side step onto it whenever he's about to attack.
    3. Sometimes, you will be caught with no jumps left, due to the Savior destroying your platforms. The Savior will immediately use this opportunity to use his super death beam and really hurt you. This will at least refresh all the old platforms and you can jump anywhere for a little while again. Just try not to get hit in the earlier section of the fight, or keep some Vital Stars or a Golden orb with you.
