Dante -
Vergil battle 2
(M13)
|
| |
|
|
Preferred style:
Trickster
- Vergil's newfound martial art combo begins
with 2 ground kicks followed by a 2-hit
air kick (Rising Sun) and a downward thrust
kick (Starfall). Whenever he starts his
combo, double jump away from him (make sure
you're higher than him when in mid-air).
Keep shooting in the air until he lands
on the ground, then do a Helm Breaker
and spray your kick-ass combos at him.
- After hitting him a couple of times, chances
are he'll parry you. If parried, double
jump away again, shoot in mid-air, Helm
Breaker when Vergil's busy recovering
and keep the pattern going. At this point
of the battle he won't attack you with anything
else but martial arts. (Remember that Vergil
makes a grunt right before he parries.)
- Once you take down about 30% of his life,
Vergil will for the first time in the game
turn into his own devil form (DT). Vergil
in DT is danger so keep away from him until
you find the right moment to counter (when
he's recovering from a move). Once taken
a few hits, he will turn back into human
form. Use DT if you're not confident in
evading his moves.
- In DT, Vergil will continue to use his
martial art combos. Sometimes, he also teleports
into the air at a random location and do
a Starfall. Double jump away from all of
those, otherwise, guard with Royalguard
or Dash/Sky Star with
Trickster. Note that in DT, like Dante,
Vergil also restores his life.
- Once his life goes down to about 40%,
Vergil will perform Judgement Cut, just
like in Vergil Battle 1. Counter him as
he's busy doing it. A few more repeats of
all the above should do it.

- The beginning is the same as
Normal mode, so use the same
strategy. (Again, I highly recommend Beowulf)
What changes is after he goes into DT.
This time, like in Vergil Battle 1, he
will perform Summoned Swords
so stay far away.
- There're 3 ways he does this. One, the
swords circle you and then shoot at you
altogether at once the moment they stop
swirling, so jump away. Two, the swords
circle you and then shoot at you one by
one. Three, the swords shoot at you one
by one directly from Vergil's side. Jumping/Dashing
(Trickster) should work, but don't worry
too much if you get hit; they don't hurt
much. (OMG!)
- The point is to attack Vergil in human
form, but he goes into DT state in this
battle pretty often. To return him back
to human form, hit/counter him as much
as you can. If you're not confident in
evading his moves, use DT. I recommend
using Stinger (Rebellion) and
Killer Bee (Beowulf) to counter
him whenever you can.
- Also, it’s good to activate DT
when you think you’re going to get
hit by a drastic move. It’ll help
lots in reducing damage.
- Eventually Vergil will, again, perform
perform Judgement Cut, so by all means
evade them all and counter him while he's
still at it. If you're real good at Royalguard,
then by all means guard them
all, including all other Vergil's attacks.
Of course, this is way easier
said than done.
