+++   PUFFING THE BEEF BONG - ADVANCED TIPS & TACTICS   +++


--ABUSE THE BUSTER GRAB
Nero has a special grab move for all the enemies (and bosses) in the 
game. Abuse the Buster on all of them to get the full benefit of the 
combat system.

--INSTANT REV IS ONLY FOR ADVANCED PLAYERS
If you have impeccably perfect timing, then using the Instant Rev will 
be helpful when fighting most of your enemies. But it is less likely 
that you'll be using it after Mission 5 and on.

--DON'T BE AFRAID TO USE HEALING ITEMS
A lot of so-called "advanced" DMC players might look down upon you for 
using healing items. BLOW ME. If you need to use a Healing Item, then 
DO IT. It will affect your ranking at the end of the mission, but that 
shouldn't discourage you!

--YOU DON'T NEED TO PURCHASE EVERY SINGLE UPGRADE
There are a few essential moves that Nero and Dante need while the rest 
are just additions. For example, you don't really need to purchase the 
Air Hike simply because it doesn't make combat any easier.

--DEVIL TRIGGER IS NOT A NECESSITY
Is it possible to defeat all the bosses in the game without ever having 
to activate DT? ABSO-DAMN-LUTELY. I would consider you more of a REAL 
advanced player if you can get through the entire game without using 
that pesky Devil Trigger (especially on DMD Mode).
