| The god of death who manages dead souls. Even inhabitants of the Netherworld fear him for his wicked nature and fighting prowess. A deadly sand-based demon. A Hell Vanguard first appears as a boss enemy during Mission2, but laterbecomes a frequently appearing foe. The Hell Vanguard is highly defensive from the front. However, clanging swords with a Vanguard raises the combo level each time. After clanging swords with a Vanguard, leap over its head and attack from behind. Always try to get behind a Vanguard, and attack continuously until it dies or disappears. When a Vanguard disappears suddenly, look for rippling pools of temporal distortion on the ground or in the air, and move away from them. The Vanguard suddenly springs out of the space rift, streaming toward Dante and spinning its immense scythe. Side Roll or jump out of the way, and resume attacking when it reappears standing on the ground. |
