--MAIN OBJECTIVE: LOCATE THE CAPTIVE KYRIE!
++AREA: GRAN ALBUM BRIDGE
Enter the next area and destroy the furniture for some Red Orbs. Exit
out to the next bridge and prepare to meet a new enemy.
--NEW ENEMY: ANGELO BIANCO
These guys are 'roided up versions of the White Knights. Bianco is
accompanied by two Knights and they have a new attack. The new attack
consists of them falling back and then rushing at you with their
jousts. Simply evade all three rush attacks and then defeat them the
same usually way: from behind.
Be careful of Bianco, though, because he likes to use charged-up sword
strikes which can be quite annoying if you aren't watching him. Use a
Buster on Bianco to defeat him in style. Now enter the next building.
++AREA: GRAND HALL
--OBJECTIVE: FIND THE BLUE ORB
There are a couple of things to find in the Grand Hall. To the right
side of the entrance is a hidden Devil Star S sitting in the corner. On
the left side of the hall is a blue Combat Adjusticator. Whack away at
it with some mixed combos until Nero receives a SMOKIN' rating to
unleash a Blue Orb!
Now that you've collected all the stuff, exit outside to trigger a
cutscene. From there, go back inside the Grand Hall and enter the newly
opened doorway (watch out for those lasers) and go upstairs.
++AREA: KEY CHAMBER
--OBJECTIVE: FIND THE KEY OF CRONUS
As soon as you enter, get ready! Angelo Bianco and his crew make a
surprise ambush, so get to it! Eliminate Bianco and the boys to unlock
a new item. Approach the altar and get the KEY OF CRONUS. This item
enables Nero to slow down time to a minimum when he activates a Chrono
Slicer in the area.
Exit the area by activating the Chrono Slicer and then carefully get
through the lasers and go upstairs.
++AREA: THE GAUNTLET
The Rusalka Corpse will start buzzing as you enter the Gauntlet. Stand
in the middle of the metal fence on the floor and a large gaggle of Red
Orbs will come flying down. Now approach the blue mechanism and
activate it to start the Gauntlet challenge.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+++ THE GAUNTLET CHALLENGE +++
--FIRST FLOOR: SCARECROWS
Defeat the scarecrows to activate the elevator to the second floor. At
the top, you'll notice a Blue Orb. Ignore it for now and exit. Use the
Chrono Slicer and carefully maneuver your way to the next elevator.
--SECOND FLOOR: FROSTS
Four Frosts will appear in this challenge, so bust out the hard combos
and eliminate them! On the next floor, use the Chrono Slicer and then
maneuver around the lasers to the next elevator.
--THIRD FLOOR: ASSAULTS
Eliminate the lizards in high style to complete the Gauntlet challenge.
If you were able to get through the whole thing with little damage,
then good for you!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Exit out and power up at the Divinity Statue because this next boss
battle will either be a breeze or a pain in the ass.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Angelo Agnus is much tougher (and WAY cheaper) than Angelo Credo and
you'll see it when you get to this point in the game. Be sure to stock
up on lots of Vital Stars because this is gonna be a long battle. AA
uses some devastating moves:
--GLADIUS STRIKE
Agnus will summon a bunch of swords (just like the last time you fought
him) and throw them at you. Remember, grab the swords with the Grim
Grip and then use the Buster to throw them at him.
--CUTLASS STRIKE
Agnus summons two Cutlass fish and then starts swinging them at you.
--FIREBALL PROJECTILES
For this attack, Agnus will hurl fireballs at you. Yes, it's a super
lame attack, but you still have to roll away to avoid getting hit.
--SOUL SUCKER
He prepares for this attack by saying "Your power will be mine!" If you
can damage him before he initiates this attack, then he won't grab you.
If he DOES grab you, he absorbs about 10% of your health. CHEAP.
--SOUL ERASER ("TIME TO DIE!")
This is Agnus' most annoyingly cheapest attack. He turns green and then
uses an explosion of energy to suck a large amount of health out of
Nero. As soon as you see him do this, catapult towards him and then
smack him until he falls back or else you'll pay dearly.
Catapult up to Agnus and start wailing away with aerial combos. Evade
the attacks I mentioned above (including his face grab move) and keep
the pressure on him so that he doesn't use his cheap life-sucking
attacks. When he gets knocked out, grab him with the Buster to trigger
a cool grab move. Repeat until Agnus falls on his st-t-t-tuttering ass.
