--MAIN OBJECTIVE: PROCEED THROUGH THE FOREST OF RUIN
++AREA: FOREST ENTRANCE
In the forest area, there are large pods on the ground that look like
cocoons. Destroy them to unleash a bunch of Red Orbs. This area is
clear of enemies, so its exploration time!
There is a large tree branch with cocoons and a Red Orb statue near the
gazebo. Approach the large gazebo in the center of the area and the
Rusalka Corpse will start buzzing off. In the center of the gazebo is a
doorway to a Secret Mission!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+++ SECRET MISSION 08: ROYAL BLOCKER +++
This is more of a mission for Dante than Nero. For the mission, Dante
needs to do FIVE successful Royal Blocks using the Royal Guard ability.
Should be easy enough, right?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Once you're done canoodling, make your way to the next area.
++AREA: WINDSWEPT VALLEY
--OBJECTIVE: FIND THE HOLY WATER
Before you jump down to the bottom of the mountain, make a left turn
and follow the ledges to the end to find a lone Holy Water sitting and
waiting for your ass. Now jump down to the bottom to encounter some new
baddies.
--NEW ENEMY: CHIMERA SEED
These things are a total joke. Simply grapple them and then use the
Buster to tear them to shreds. Too easy. In the area are two large
sealed doors that can only be opened with a Gyro Blade.
--OBJECTIVE: FIND THE GYRO BLADE
There's nothing else to do in the area, so go up the stairs and enter
the large building.
++AREA: RUINED CHURCH
In this area, the Chimera Seeds will morph with the scarecrows to form
a full Chimera enemy. Although they don't look any different, the
Chimera have the ability to use sharp blades even after Nero knocks
them down, so BE CAREFUL when fighting them!
Once you're done with these freaks, look to the right side of the room
to see glass walls that can be shattered. Shatter the glass wall to
reveal some more cocoons and a Combat Adjusticator (for Dante). Before
you go upstairs, there is another glass wall UNDER the stairs. If you
shatter the glass, you will be blocked by red tree bark but REMEMBER
this area! Now go up the stairs and activate the blue mechanism to
reveal a glowing pathway.
Quickly make your way down the path before it disappears and exit
through the Emblem Door.
++AREA: RUINED VALLEY
Go up the metal stairs and catapult from ledge to ledge to a new
puzzle...if you can call it that.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+++ DISAPPEARING FLOOR PUZZLE +++
This "puzzle" is almost similar to the Torture Chamber puzzle. After
Nero activates the blue mechanism, a set of floor tiles will appear.
After a few seconds, another set of floor tiles will appear and the
last set will DISAPPEAR. Understand how it works?
The only thing that will distract Nero are the two Mephistos floating
around. Avoid using aerial Busters on them and patiently wait for them
to get close to use a Buster. As the floor disappears, quickly jump to
the next set or else Nero will fall to the area below (Ruined
Lowlands). If he does fall to the bottom, Nero then needs to eliminate
a bunch of baddies in order to get back to the top.
The key to this puzzle is patience. If you can't spend the time to
patiently wait, then you deserve to keep falling to the bottom of the
pit! When the floor is about to disappear, quickly move to the next
appearing set of tiles or jump towards it. Rotate the camera so that
you don't miss the jump. Keep jumping on the next set of tiles until
the path towards the door opens up. From there, get your impatient ass
to the next area.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
++AREA: LAPIS RIVER
This area is completely clear of enemies, so just search for Red Orbs
all over the place. But DO NOT leave just yet!
--OBJECTIVE: FIND THE SECRET MISSION
Go all the way to the left side of the area (near the end of the
waterfall) and the Rusalka Corpse will start buzzing. Look for the lone
tree at the end of the path to find a doorway to a Secret Mission.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+++ SECRET MISSION 05: SKY SCRAPER +++
For this mission, Nero has 60 seconds to jump using the red crests ALL
the way to the very top. GOOD LUCK!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Exit the area.
++AREA: ANCIENT PLAZA
Chimera will appear in the area, so start eliminating them! Clear the
area and then exit.
++AREA: WINDSWEPT VALLEY
You just found the Gyro Blade! Now activate it and hurl it at the
doorway to bust it open. Use the Gyro on the Chimera and then hurl the
Gyro at the other sealed doorway. When the path is open, head down the
stairs to the next area.
++AREA: RUINED VALLEY
Get ready for a semi-Indiana Jones type of chase. Quickly run down the
metal stairs to avoid getting chomped by Echidna. Destroy the cocoons
blocking the way and then make it all the way to the end of the path
and then exit out.
++AREA: FORGOTTEN RUINS
--OBJECTIVE: FIND THE BLUE ORB
Approach the nearby blue Combat Adjusticator and start whacking away at
it with some hard combos. Keep attacking it until Nero receives an
ATOMIC rating to receive a Blue Orb! WOO-HOO!
Now continue down the path to encounter some more Chimera. Eliminate
them all and then access the Divinity Statue at the end of the path.
Stock up on stuff and then enter the next area for a boss battle!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+++ BOSS BATTLE: ECHIDNA +++

Echidna likes to play it rough! The battle is not so difficult than the
battle with Bael but you still need to be fast with your evasion moves.
Echidna uses a couple of killer moves:
--VIPER SLAM
Echidna hovers around the arena and then quickly knocks you down. Use a
well-timed evasion roll to get out of the way of her attack.
--VIPER SEEDS
Echidna spreads her "legs" and starts laying eggs. Simply use the Grim
Grip to grapple near the vulva-looking sac and whack it until she
retreats. Yes, I made it sound disgusting, so what?
--VIPER TENTACLES
Echidna plants herself on the ground and summons a bunch of her
tentacles from the ground to pound you. Catapult towards her head and
then whack, whack, whack!
When she moves around the arena, catapult towards her head and then
start wailing at her body. From there, you'll be spending a lot of your
time evading and then attacking as soon as she stops. When she gets the
wind knocked out of her, grapple towards her and use the Buster to
trigger a special attack to reduce her health by 15%.
Just as she begins to lose more health, she starts glowing in a gold
color and starts hurling seeds at you. Ignore the seeds and continue
the assault until she gets knocked out. Once Echidna is out for the
count, jump up towards her and use the Buster to end the battle in
stylish fashion!
Nero will obtain the SEPHIROTHIC FRUIT which will allow him to disperse
the red tree barks blocking certain paths.
