--MAIN OBJECTIVE: HEAD TO FORTUNA CASTLE


++AREA: OPERA HOUSE PLAZA


--OBJECTIVE: ENTER THE STOREHOUSE

Head north and make your way to the palace gates. A couple of 
Scarecrows will appear for you to eliminate. Test out your hard combos 
and eliminate them one by one.

Once you're done fooling with them, go to the right side of the palace 
gates to see a light blue door (the camera angle will change). Enter 
inside to the Storehouse for a short cutscene.


++LARGE RED ORB:
As you enter the storehouse, you'll see a giant Red Orb hidden in an 
upper alcove. To retrieve it, jump towards the wall and Nero will do a 
Kick Jump. Grab it and continue going up the stairs to the next area.


--OBJECTIVE: TEST OUT THE BUSTER GRAB

Eliminate the three enemies that appear here by testing out Nero's grab 
move. Or if you already discovered it, then screw it! Kill 'em off 
already! Once that's done, exit outside.


++AREA: CATHEDRAL

--OBJECTIVE: OBTAIN THE EVIL LEGACY

Enter the next doorway to the Cathedral. Make your way all the way to 
the bottom of the area and approach the large blue altar to receive a 
new power: EVIL LEGACY. This new power will allow Nero to extend the 
Devil-Bringer and use it to grab far away objects.

Once that's done, approach the glowing blue crest in the center of the 
room and use the Grim Grip move to catapult to a higher area. Look for 
the next blue crest and catapult to the exit. Before you exit the 
Cathedral, use the Grim Grip to grab the large Red Orb!


++AREA: TERRACE/BUSINESS DISTRICT 


--OBJECTIVE: START YOUR FIRST SECRET MISSION
--OBJECTIVE: FIND BLUE ORB #1

Look for more blue crests and catapult your way across the area. As you 
land on the first terrace, approach the large object and examine it to 
begin your first Secret Mission


-----------------------------------------------------------------------

             +++   SECRET MISSION 01: ANNIHILATION   +++

For this mission, Nero has 60 seconds to eliminate eight Scarecrows. As 
easy as it sounds, you may not be able to kill them all that quickly 
without some juice. To kill them all quicker, use Nero's Instant Rev 
(from the EX-Gauge) to power up his sword after each attack. Rely on 
using sword combos and try NOT to use too many aerial Buster attacks. 
For your effort, Nero will receive his first Blue Orb!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------


Once you're done poking holes in the raisin bag, continue with the 
mission. Grapple to the next terrace and eliminate the enemies that 
block the way until you reach the next area.


--OBJECTIVE: TEST OUT THE SNATCH MOVE (that's what she said)

Eliminate some more enemies using the new Snatch move and then exit. 


++AREA: RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT

--OBJECTIVE: FIND THE BLUE ORB

Jump down to the lower area to find some more dummies to eliminate. 
Kill them off and then let's do some exploring! Mid-way through the 
area, you'll notice a large glowing Red Orb statue. Approach the statue 
and destroy it to unleash bunches of Red Orbs. Here's the catcher: when 
the altar is destroyed, jump down and make a left turn near the statue 
to find an alley with more Red Orbs. 

Jump to the rooftops to find a more Red Orbs and the Blue Orb in a 
hard-to-see corner! Collect them all and continue the mission by 
exiting out to the next area.


++AREA: PORT CAERULA

--OBJECTIVE: ACTIVATE THE BRIDGE

Navigate through the port and find the blue crest. Catapult to the next 
area and then enter the Customs House. Once you enter, more enemies 
will emerge. WHATEVER.

Once the enemies are kaput, approach the fiery blue mechanism and 
attack it until the blue energy blocking the way dissipates. Jump up to 
the next area and then approach the controls to activate the bridge. 
Now exit the Customs House and head back to the previous area.

Catapult outta there and make your way to the next area where you 
activated the bridge. Kill more fatties and then exit the area.


++AREA: FIRST MINING AREA


--OBJECTIVE: FIND THE BLUE ORB

Enter the next area and jump down to find a large collection of Red 
Orbs in the waterway. Now approach the Grim Grip and grapple to the 
upper ledge.

Notice that there is a Divinity Statue on the right and a blue Combat 
Adjusticator on the left. Approach the thing and start hammering some 
mixed combos at it. Keep striking it until Nero receives a BRUTAL 
rating and this will unleash a Blue Orb! 

Once you're done going down to Dixie, stock up at the Divinity Statue 
if you need to and then exit the area.


++AREA: FERRUM HILLS

Head up the stairs to trigger a semi-funny cutscene with the hi-larious 
Berial!


-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------


                     +++   BOSS BATTLE: BERIAL   +++

                  / __ )/ ____/ __ \/  _/   |  / /

Berial is a pretty powerful enemy with lots of heavy firepower up his 
fiery arsenal. He uses heavy swipes with his sword and the occasional 
jumping attack. He also has two main attacks:

--BERIAL ARMAGEDDON
--BERIAL FIRE PITS

When Berial loses about 40-50 percent of his health, he launches a 
major deathblow attack where he pounds the ground causing a large 
aftershock. This attack CAN be avoided by simply running away and 
jumping BEFORE he initiates the attack. As for the Fire Pits, he will 
punch the ground to initiate this attack. Simply use evasion rolls as 
they fire up underneath Nero.

The main way to defeat Berial is to use the Devil-Bringer to catapult 
above his head. Approach Berial and jump up and catapult towards him 
and then perform a mid-air combo. Be quick though! As soon as Nero 
lands on the ground, continue to quickly catapult above Berial's head 
and attack him in mid-air.

Continue the aerial assault on Berial's head (while evading his sword 
attacks) until he keels over. When he's down, approach him and use the 
Devil-Bringer to trigger a cool grab move on him. When he recovers, RUN 
AWAY! If you don't run, you'll get caught in the Armageddon attack! To 
recover any lost health, have Berial destroy the houses to unleash some 
Green Orbs (if there are any still left). Keep slashing away at his 
head until Berial is down and out. 


After the cutscene, enter the stairway and go all the way to the top of 
the hill to complete the mission.
