--MAIN OBJECTIVE: EMBRACE THE LIGHT TO ESCAPE THE FOREST
++AREA: ANCIENT TRAINING GROUNDS
--OBJECTIVE: FIND THE BLUE ORB
Make you way down the path towards the archway. As you pass under the
archway, the Rusalka Corpse will start buzzing. Look above the archway
to see a cocoon on the ceiling. Do a Kick Jump and then whack it to
reveal a Blue Orb underneath it.
To retrieve the Orb, go back out and jump on top of the pillar on the
right side of the archway entrance. Get in close to the Orb and then
use the Grim Grip to grab it! Now jump back down and continue through
the area. Eliminate the enemies in the way and exit to the next area.
++AREA: LAPIS RIVER
--OBJECTIVE: GO BACK TO THE RUINED CHURCH
The area is enemy-free, so collect more Red Orbs (and try out Secret
Mission 5 if you haven't done so). Exit through the northern side to
the next area.
++AREA: ANCIENT PLAZA
--NEW ENEMY: ASSAULT
These guys are the lizard version of the Frosts. They use a small
shield for protection and like to use ground attacks. But they're no
different than the Frosts, so just use mid-air Busters and aerial
combos to eliminate them all. When all of them are slaughtered, exit
out to the next area.
++ARE: WINDSWEPT VALLEY
Ignore the Gyro Blade (you don't need it) and just make your way up the
stairs to the Ruined Church.
++AREA: RUINED CHURCH
A large gaggle of Scarecrows, Chimeras, and Assaults will appear in the
area. Eliminate them with some Buster combos to clear the area. From
there, collect the remaining Re Orbs from the cocoons and walk up to
the red tree under the stairs to open a new path.
++AREA: THE LOST WOODS
Approach the mantle in the center of the area to encounter a REALLY
easy puzzle.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+++ THE LOST WOODS PUZZLE +++
This puzzle is short and simple. There are three paths to follow: one
on the north, east, and west of the mantle. The main point of it is to
follow the light and find the way out of the woods.
Nero needs to enter THREE different paths in order to solve the puzzle.
If he enters the wrong path, he enters the Hidden Pit and has to kill
some enemies to escape back to the Lost Woods entrance.
Here's how it works: look at the shadow of the altar. If the shadow is
pointing in a specific direction, go the OPPOSITE way. Enter the path
on the NORTH and this will lead Nero back to the Lost Woods entrance.
Now take the EAST path and then enter the WEST path to solve the
puzzle. Easy!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
++AREA: FORGOTTEN RUINS
Simply traverse the bridge all the way to the end and exit out. DO NOT
jump down the Forgotten Ruins bridge to the bottom! If you do, you have
to navigate all the way back to the Ruined Church!
++AREA: ANCIENT TRAINING GROUNDS
As soon as you enter the area, a variety of scarecrows and Assaults
will appear. Take on the lizards first and then deal with the
scarecrows. Once that's done, approach the Divinity Statue and stock up
on stuff because the next boss battle is gonna be a doozy!

+++ BOSS BATTLE: ANGELO CREDO +++

Angelo Credo is not as tough as the other Knights that you've
encountered but he is still quite dangerous. AC has some damaging
attacks up his sleeve:
--FOUR-HIT COMBO
He'll usually retaliate with this combo if he blocks your attacks. To
avoid getting hit, jump back FOUR times while still locked-on him to
evade the combo.
--DOWNWARD STRIKE
If you break Credo's guard, he'll fall back for a second. If Nero
doesn't attack him immediately after the guard break, Credo will slam
his sword down on Nero. It's a sneaky move, so jump back if you can't
counter from the guard break!
--CRESCENT FIRE SLASH
This also a retaliation attack where he jumps up and does a crescent
slash on the floor. Simply jump straight up or back to avoid getting
hit by this cheap attack.
--JOUST PROJECTILES
When AC zooms to the other side of the arena, he'll shout "Show me what
you got!" and start throwing large jousts at you. Evade the jousts by
rolling to the left or right as soon as he throws it.
Just like the battles with the other Knights, the main tactic is to
break Credo's guard by using the Streak on him. When he falls back from
the attack, immediately do a High Roller on him and then perform an
aerial combo and a mid-air Buster to knock him down.
Simply evade his attacks and then keep trying to break his guard and
using the Buster. Follow this tactic and you should be able to defeat
him WITHOUT using Devil Trigger. After the battle, Nero will receive
the AEGIS SHIELD.
