*************

*** Acre ***                                              -BEGNNG-

Kill everything around you and a boat will crash in the background. Use the
new debris in the back to climb up the left wall. Follow along the path and
watch the scene. Death's attack pattern is fairly simple, Just block and
attack when he's close.


*** Florence ***                                          -FLRNCE-

Fight your way through the graveyard, then head up and out. There's a save
point just before entering the monestary if you want to use it. Head inside
for a short scene. Quickly dispose of enemies in the next section; if you take
too long the floor will crumble beneath you. When the cross falls, run over
it to a hole in the wall to the right. Jump onto the ledge, then turn left and
jump off. Follow the ramp down and quickly take out all enemies to lower the
gate at the end. Head through and open the fountain.

Jump off of the walkway ahead and move forward to see some debris fall. Use
the Holy Cross to douse the flaming zombies before killing them with your
scythe. Move ahead and kill the next wave while avoiding the flames shooting
out of the walls. Follow the path and save before jumping down. Talk to Virgil
for some information and a new Magic: Righteous Path.

Take out the enemies when they come. A large beast will break through the wall
and attack. When the R2 prompt appears above it, do it and follow the sequence
for a ride. After taking out some more enemies, head to the gates. There's a
save point just as you land. Jump onto the wall and make your way to the left.


*** Shores of Acheron ***                                 -ACHRON-

Grab the fountain when you get to it, then continue along the wall. Talk to
Virgil at the end. Talk to Virgil a second time to receive [RELIC]Death Blade. 
Double jump onto the ledge just to the left of Virgil for [Silver Coin 01].
Move ahead for a scene.

Use the lever on the right to extend the bridge and summon some enemies. The
flying creatures will respawn until you move across, so hit the lever again
and dash across the bridge. Grab the fountain before descending. Take out
the enemies here then use the lever in the center of the room. Move the lever
and head up above the door to find [Silver Coin 02] on the left. Jump back
down and raise the platform to the sparkling wall. Hit it with your scythe a
few times to reveal a door.

Turn all the way left, but don't go down the stairs, for a soul fountain. Go
back to the doorway and head right for another soul fountain before talking to
Virgil. Continue talking to Virgil until he disappears for more dialogue. Move
across the bridge. After the battle, talk to the glowing soul to the left of
the door. Head through the door.

After the fight, leave the room and look behind the statue for [Silver Coin
03]. Head back and save if you wish, then jump and grab onto the rope leading
to Acheron. Move along the wall and head past the first opening, jump across,
and climb to the second opening to find [RELIC]Charon's Oar. Head back and into
the first opening you passed.

Inside, grab the crate and drag the box to the short ramp on the right of the
room, then push it into the little cubby on the right. Use the lever to move
the platform towards the screen until you can get the box on the other side.
Drag the box all the way to the left and use it to reach the ledge above for
[Silver Coin 04]. Now drag the box to the short area on the other side of the
lever, then move the platform back to its starting position. Jump on the box
then double-jump to reach another shade.

Climb up the wall and out at the top. Take out enemies as they come. A big
guy will eventually show up; you can grab the smaller enemies to become
temporarily immune to his attacks. Once you have control of the beast, take
out the enemies that come. Once the orb appears near Acheron's head, move to
it and follow the prompts.

Once on the wall, quickly make your way up as it will fall with you still on
it. Quickly get across the bridge at the top. As the tower falls, jump and
hit R1 to swing across.


*** Limbo ***                                             -LIMBO1-

Save if you wish, then talk to Virgil until he disappears. Move left and down
the wall. Grab the ghoul and throw it at the sparkling wall to reveal a
passageway. Turn left when you see Acheron's head to find [Silver Coin 05].
Head back and move past the head to find a Beatrice Stone and the [RELIC]Eye's
of St. Lucia. Now stand next to Acheron's head and follow the prompt to knock
it down for a trophy/achievement. Head through the only door on the right.

After the battle, head out the doorway at the top of the room. Talk to Virgil
until he disappears for [RELIC]Lord's Blessing. Move through the door next to
him, then through the next door to find a shade. Head back, then up the
spiraling ramp and through the door at the top.

Follow the path all the way around and enter the next door. Turn left to find
Virgil. Talk to him until he disappears. Move up the ramp and open the
fountains to refill your bars. Once you're on the upper area, move to the left
side and double jump to a ledge with a lever. Use it to lower the statue and
grab [RELIC]Saladin's Mercy. Head back up the ramp and pull the lever. Save
before swinging across to King Minos.

-- King Minos --

Keep moving so that you don't get hit by the tentacles from the floor. When
the larger ones on the wall move, and Minos moves back, use R1 to grapple onto
the wall to evade his next attack. Attack his lowered head, then move in and
attack the fleshy part of his body. Some lesser ghouls will be summoned;
dispose of them. When he slams his hand down and the R2 prompt appears,
quickly use it and follow the prompts to reveal his fleshy part again. More
smaller enemies will appear; take them out. When Minos lowers his face, attack
it. Follow the prompts. Acquire [RELIC]Tail of Minos.
----------------

Swing across the gap and head down the passage. Save the game before heading
down. Wall run and jump across to the next rope. Climb all the way to the top
to find [Silver Coin 06]. Head back down the rope and look to the right, above
the next rope, to see two corpse pillars. Swing over to them, then climb all
the way up for [RELIC]Francesca's Book. Drop down the right pillar, then drop
to the rope below. Slide to the bottom of the rope and use it to swing across
to the pillar of corpses. Slide down and jump down to the next rope. Wall run
and attack the link with your Scythe to break it. Continue moving across,then
down the pillar of corpses. Grab the shade.


*** Lust ***                                              -2DLUST-

Head down the path and dodge the pink orbs as you move along the bridge. Move
to the third statue on the left. Turn to the left and towards the foreground
to find a climbable wall. Climb down to get [RELIC]Filippo's Rage. Move all the
way to the last statue, and move to the left of it to find a climbable wall.
Move across the wall to find [Silver Coin 07]. Head back and talk to Virgil at
the end until he disappears.

Use the lever at the second statue on your left, timing the dial to move and
shoot the pink ball of energy back at the whirlwind. Quickly follow behind it
and head inside the opening. Holy Cross works well against these new enemies;
they'll dodge most of your scythe attacks.

After taking out the enemies, use the newly accessible lever on the left side
of the room to lift part of the snake. Once the snake head is up, run over and
destroy the teeth. Lift the snake again and quickly use the tongue to jump to
the area above. Talk to Virgil until he disappears for [RELIC]Tristan's Desire.

Look to the right of Virgil to find a small platform you can jump to with some
souls. Head back and look to the left of the circular platform for a save
point and a lever. Before using the lever, get onto the circular platform and
pull the statue in the middle at the back. Just stick it anywhere on the
platform, then go back and hit the lever. Now jump onto the raised circular
platform and look to the left for a ledge with [Silver Coin 08] on it. Jump
back to the platform and look to the right side for another ledge with a soul
fountain and a lever. Use the lever to open the top gate and quickly jump back
onto the platform to rise up.

Take out the enemies that spawn first. Once they are down, Cleo will attack.
When she hits the platform, watch for the button prompt to live. Clear out the
next set of enemies for a closer look at Cleo. Take out the next set while
attacking her hand. There's a life fountain on the right if you need it.
Eventually a new outcropping will show up on the left, along with a magic
fountain and a ledge with a lever. Hit Cleo's hand until she lets go of the
platform, making it rise, then quickly head left and pull the lever to turn
the snake heads. Drop down and attack her hand again, this time jumping onto
the ledge on the right side of the field. The platform will rise; take out
enemies as they come.

When you reach the top, take the left path for a magic and health fountain,
then go back and take the right path for a soul fountain. Head down the corpse
pillar to find a shade. Jump back up and grab onto the corpse pillar. Take
the left path and head down the wall. Avoid the pink beams as you work your
way across. At the end you'll find a save point and a shade to the right.
After doing whatever you do to the shade, drop off of the ledge just to the
right of her. Grab the [RELIC]Arrow of Paris, then head to the left and leap
over to the wall and climb back up to the save point.

Look to the left of the save point to find a short path you can jump to. Head
over, then jump onto the ledge to grab [Silver Coin 09]. Head back to the save
point and climb up the wall just to the right of it.

-- Cleopatra --

She will release her lacky Antony. Watch out for Cleo's attacks while you chop
off Antony's health. Once it has gotten low enough, she will heal him. During
this time, run up and attack her hand. Rinse, repeat. Righteous Path is very
useful, as it will knock Antony off of balance with a dead-on hit. Defeat
Antony to receive [RELIC]Antony's Standard. Follow the button prompts to get
rid of Cleo and receive a new Magic: Lust Storm.

---------------

Watch for debris as the platform falls. Take out all enemies. When the
platform begins to break apart, the only "safe" place is the bit on the far
side. Be ready to use R1 to hook onto a grapple point. Swing across until you
get to Virgil. Talk to him until he disappears. Follow the path for a health
fountain and a soul fountain, then head down the corpse pillar. Drop down to
the rope and make your way across. Drop down the corpse pillar and onto the
next rope, then break the chain link with your scythe as you run near it. Jump
across and swing to the corpse pillar. Head down and drop onto the rope.


*** Gluttony ***                                          -GLTTNY-

move to the right to find [RELIC]Rain of Gluttony. Get back onto the rope and
head left. Talk to Virgil until he disappears. Slide down the corpse pillar and
jump off to meet Cerberus.

-- Cerberus --

Dodge the pukeballs and move to one of the lil mounds in the area and break it
with R1. If Cerberus tries to bite during this time (usually will) the head
will get fried and drop down. Use this opportunity to attack it. Rinse and
repeat. Follow prompts when prompted to. Acquire [RELIC]Azrael's Apprentice.

--------------

Head across the gray thing in the background and follow the path. Open the
fountain where the worm grabs you for [Silver Coin 10]. Use the health and
magic fountains, then climb down into the toothy area. After the enemies are
gone, move ahead for a shade. Save at the statue before continuing if you
want.

In the next area, stay out of the waste. Move up two platforms and wait for
the mouth to open to get another shade. Move one platform to the right of this
mouth and jump onto the rope to move across. Head into the next mouth and
follow the path to Virgil. Talk to him until he disappears for [RELIC]Ciacco's
Bile.

Head down the passageway and take down the enemies when they appear. Use the
fountains before heading into the gateway. Watch the scene. Use an in-and-out
to avoid being covered in bile. Once it's dead, head into the far portal and
pull the lever on the new area. Head back through the right portal and all
the way to the right of this strip to a climbable area. Move up it and look
right for a soul fountain. Continue up the wall for [Silver Coin 11].

Head all the way back and use the lever at the bottom of the climbable area.
Quickly head through the left portal and run onto the new wooden platform and
use it to jump across to the bottom path. Open the soul fountain. Watch the
moving table, and when it seems to spin in place under the portal that is
facing down at the top left of the screen, head through the right portal. Jump
to the right before it goes through the portal on the left for a soul
fountain(Can contain [Beatrice Stone 02]).

Head down the path and grab the soul fountain next to the save point, then
head down the corpse pillar. Drop down to the rope and swing over to another
corpse pillar. Climb all the way up and grab [Silver Coin 12] and
[RELIC]Octavian's Gold. Head back down the pillar.

Drop down to the rope below and quickly move to the left. Drop down to the
next rope, and drop all the way down and off of it. Push the tooth-looking
object all the way to the left to put out the flames, and wait a few seconds.
Now push it all the way back to it's starting position quickly, and grab the
rope and swing across before the flames come back fully. Destroy the link.

Head down the corpse pillar and drop down to the rope below. Make your way to
the left and drop down. Be ready to hit R1 to catch a grappling point and
swing over to the left. Jump across to the rope, slide down, then jump across
to the corpse pillar. Head all the way down here and drop off.

Follow the path. When you come to a large wall, climb it and look to the right
for a ledge you can jump up to. Open the soul fountain, then jump across the
opening to the left and onto the other platform. Jump again towards the left
and grab [Silver Coin 13]. Drop down and hang off of the ledge in the
foreground. Move to the right while hanging, then rise up while behind the
rock to find [RELIC]Crown of Carthage. Jump down, then back up on the left
side. Grab the magic and health fountains if you need them. Get back onto the
ledge on the right. Look in the background of the screen, on the left, just
under the archway to see an orange pedestal. The timing can be tricky, just
keep trying. Jump once off of the right ledge then, as soon as you have cleared
the arch, hit the double-jump and you should grab onto the ledge. Pull yourself
up for the second of three Beatrice Stones. Drop down and head down the path.


*** Greed ***                                             -GREED4-

Watch the scene, then talk to Virgil until he disappears. Move across the
moving platforms and make your way to the molten gold. Make your way to the
upper level using the next two platforms, then pull the lever at the top.
Quickly take out enemies; you must do so before the cauldron fills and you're
encased in gold. Pull the lever again when it appears and quickly move across
the platform.

Save if you wish, then head right and onto the spinning cogs. Once you get on
top of the highest cog on the left, double jump onto the top-most horizontal
cog. The tricky part: jump towards the screen and to the right and try to grab
onto the ledge just at the end of the vertical cog. Grab the shade, then
continue along the cogs to the left. Grab the magic and health fountains
before heading through the door.

You'll meet a new enemy in the next room. When it spins just dodge it until
it stops or use Righteous Path to knock it out of the spin. Once you've killed
the first one, you can ignore the others and just constantly Punish/Absolve the
little ghouls since they seem to spawn endlessly (only recommend exploiting
this if you've focused solely on one path until now and want to level the other
slightly, as the experience needed at higher levels would require you to do
this for hours).

Once you've taken out all of the enemies, use the lever. Once the walls drop,
jump up onto the ledge in the back of the room for [Silver Coin 14]. Drop down
and hit the lever again, then quickly jump onto the ledge and move on top of
the sliding wall as it comes down. Quickly move to the right and jump into the
small alcove for [RELIC]Demon's Wing. Drop down and climb onto the ledge in the
back. Quickly, hit the lever, drop down, hit the bottom lever, climb back up,
move onto the sliding wall, and jump through the slightly open door.

Hit the lever in the next room to move down. In the next area, jump all the
way to the right and off the edge. There are two fountains here, one is just
a soul fountain, the other has [Silver Coin 15]. Climb up the wall all the way
to the left. You need to move from platform to platform around the room moving
counter-clockwise. When you get to the door, look to the right for a shade.
Grab it, then head back and through the door.

Use the lever here to stop the spinning mechanism. Turn back and jump across
to the center to get [Relic]Wasted Gold. Head back and go through the next
door. Grab the health and magic fountains here, then save at the statue. Use
the lever in the next room. The walls will begin to close in as enemies spawn.
Use the lever as much as possible and use abilities to knock the enemies away,
then head to the right.

Once all the enemies are down, use the big guy to force open the door. Open
the door ahead of you and follow the passage. Talk to Virgil until he
disappears then climb up the wall. Follow the wall all the way to the right to
find [Relic]Coin of Plutus. Now head up and then to the left. When you are
about to come out from behind the gate, look in the corner to see a small strip
of climbable area. Move down it for [Silver Coin 16]. Now move up, all the way
left, then up and into the next area.

Use the grapple point to swing over to the rope. Move across it and drop down
at the end. Kill the enemy to the left, then head down the path on the right
while grabbing all of the fountains. The second fountain contains [Silver Coin
17]. Pull the lever, then head back to the circular platform.

You can use Righteous Path to knock the Hoarders&Wasters out of their spin.
When the platforms tilt, jump across to the next one. When the platform comes
to a stop, drop off and grab the health and magic fountains. Jump onto the
middle platform and use the lever.

Head to the newly uncovered lever to spawn some enemies; kill them. Turn the
middle platform to the left and to the right to destroy each sides pillar.
Climb the pillar on the right to find some souls and [Silver Coin 18]. Head
back and up the left pillar to find a save point. Head through the door.

Open the fountains as you move down the path. Use the lever to lower the next
platform. Talk to Virgil until he disappears. Jump across the gap. Defeat the
enemies, then use the lever to turn the center dais. Turn it so that you have
a platform stairway to Plutus' left hand, then get on and jump across.

Use the save point then head through the door. Climb across the rope and talk
to Virgil until he disappears. Continue ahead. Once the enemies are dead look
to the left of the large dais for a soul fountain. Head through the opening on
the right.

Swing across to the cogs and make your way to the left and jump across the
gap to reach the door. Climb across the wall and look to the left of the next
door for a shade. Save, then head through the door. Use the lever in the next
area to move down. Use the next lever on the left to drop down and fight one
of the giant beasts. Once you gain control of it, another enemy will drop
down.

Once you've killed everything you'll be able to move the large block in the
back. Climb onto the wall here and work your way down. When the block appears,
move it back and all the way to the right. Set it atop the square pattern
against the wall to lower Plutus. Quickly climb the wall and jump across the
new gap, as the box slowly disintegrates.

Take out enemies as they come, then watch the scene. Force the Dais off the
platform for a battle.

-- Pops --

Try to stay behind him as much as possible. He'll occasionally throw a
spinning cross that will hit you four times; block it. Once you've made him
kneel once, he'll stick a cross into the ground that will continue to pulsate,
emitting a small shockwave within its radius; stay away from it. The battle
area will slowly get smaller as the fight progresses. After he kneels for the
second time, he'll start casting Sins of the Father. Try very, very hard not
to let him use it in the center as it will always hit you there; try to keep
him at one edge of the area. Acquire new Magic: Sins of the Father and
[RELIC]Eye of Alighiero.

------------

Head towards the door in the background. Turn left of the door and jump up to
a ledge for [RELIC]Hoarder's Purse. Use the save point to the right of the
door, then go on through. Use the lever to move the platform. Take out all
enemies, then use both fountains before pulling the next lever.


*** Anger ***                                             -ANGER5-

Follow the path and head down the corpse pillar at the end. Make your way down
and destroy the link. Swing across and drop down the corpse pillar. As soon as
you land, head towards the foreground for a soul fountain. Talk to Virgil
until he disappears. Move ahead and jump to the next platform. Move across the
rope for a save point.

Head to the right and follow the path. Take out the enemies then continue
forward. Jump on the mound ahead and quickly turn left to find a grapple point
to swing from. Pull the crate ahead back a little bit, but not all of the way.
Jump on top of it, then jump again to find a ledge with [Silver Coin 19]. Drop
down and pull the box all the way back and onto the platform.

Head into the new opening and talk to Virgil until he disappears for
[RELIC]Medusa's Call. Climb along the wall to the left. Once across, kill all
enemies and look to the right side of the screen. Use the Holy Cross to break
the gate, then jump across for a shade. Head back and up the path at the top.

Break the health fountain and grab onto the rope overhead. Move all the way
across to find a magic fountain and the third (and final) Beatrice Stone. Head
back and drop down onto the circular platform. Once all enemies have been
defeated, climb up and onto the ledge. Break the fountain for [Silver Coin 20]
and continue down the path. Head up the climbable wall for a save point.

Head to the left and enter the room for a scene. Once you regain control, look
to the right side of the room for a shade. Use the lever afterwards and jump
onto the ledge ahead quickly, before the flames return. Move the gear to the
left to make the platform rise. Move it to the right when it stops. When it
stops again, break the panel and move it to the left. When it stops again,
move it towards the right but stop in the center. The next time it stops,
break the far left panel and move the gear slightly over so that it goes up.
At the top, break both panels and move the gear all the way to the right to
bring down a platform. Jump onto the climbable wall there and pull the lever.

Move all the way to the right, past Virgil and past the fountain, to find
[RELIC]Guiding Flame. Now go back and break the fountain for [Silver Coin 21].
Now talk to Virgil until he disappears. Head down the corpse pillars. Turn left
just as you land for a shade, then save to your right. Board the circular
platform.

Stay on the platform and use Holy Cross to kill the flying creatures. Try not
to jump as it is very easy to fall off of the platform. When you reach land,
follow the button prompts and meet Phlegyas.

Take out the smaller enemies while avoiding the big guys attacks. When the
gate lowers, break the fountains and follow the path. Swing across the gap
and pull the lever near the gate. Take out more enemies to lower the gate.
Break the fountains past the gate, then go back and pull the lever to raise
the bridge. Take on a ton of enemies, eventually the elevator at the far end
will be accessible. Pull the lever when able to. Watch the scene.

You now have control over Phlegyas, move him through the pathway ahead and
break down the gates. Move forward and follow the path. You can break the
towers along the way for 150-200 souls each. When you can't progress farther,
stomp the ground a few times for a short scene.


*** Heresy ***                                               -CTYDIS-

Swing across the ropes to the left. Break the support at the last rope, then
climb all the way up and onto the ledge to find a save point. Head to the left
and use the lever to pull the spikes back. Quickly slide back down the rope
and swing across the new gap. Head down the corpse pillar and drop onto the
rope below. Move to the left and drop down to the next rope. Kill the flying
enemies and swing to the rope on the left. Swing across and slide down the
series of corpse pillars. Ignore the lightshow for now and drop down. Talk to
Virgil until he disappears for [RELIC]Rage of Farinata, then head through the
door.

Take out then enemy, then use the lever on the left. Dispose of this next
wave, then continue down the corridor. Move along the climbable wall and into
the next hallway. Run quickly towards the larger enemy before it activates the
lever. Once everything is dead, use the leaver again and head back towards the
screen to grab two fountains containing souls and [Silver Coin 22]. Head back
down the hallway and through the door at the end.

Talk to Virgil until he disappears. Head up the corpse pillar to the right for
[RELIC]Calvacanti's Blade. Head back down, then drop down the two corpse
pillars and cross the rope. Drop down for health and magic fountains and a
shade. Head to the left. Take out the enemies in the next room. Climb across
the walls to find another save point. Look in the alcove right next to it to
find two soul fountains.

Take out the next group of enemies, then pull the lever. Head through the
newly revealed doorway. Head across the climbable wall, then talk to Virgil
until he disappears. Head through the door in the center. Drag the crate to
the square button in the middle of the room to push up a short step. Use this
to climb up to the upper ledge. Use the lever in the back of the room to shut
off the flames before exiting through the left door.

Grab the shade before heading across the wall. Head through the door at the
other end. Before pulling the lever, move all the way to the back of the room
and look to the right to find [Silver Coin 23]. Grab the crate in the wall and
drag it all the way back to the lever. Put the crate to the left, then pull
the lever. Quickly push the box back so that the pourer doesn't reset its
position. Backtrack until you have to fight a heretic. Now move to the right
and climb the newly accessible wall. Enter the next door.

In the next room, wait on the first platform until the next one gets low
enough to jump to. As it rises, look to the right for a ledge to jump to with
[Silver Coin 24] and [RELIC]Seal of Epicurus. Wait for the second platform to
lower again, then jump over to it. When it rises, look to the left for another
ledge to jump to for a shade. Jump back over to the second platform. When it
rises, jump over to a third platform. Jump to the next platform and enter the
hallway when you come to it. Pull the lever to shut off the flame jets before
proceeding.

Grab onto the rope and move across. Pull the lever. Jump to where the statue
once was, then hop onto the next ledge for a save point. Head through the
next door and turn left to climb the wall. Once across, look for a yellow
sphere in the foreground. Break open the two nearby fountains, then head down
the corpse pillar. At the bottom grab the [Silver Coin 25] and
[RELIC]Frederick's Ring. Double jump back onto the pillar and climb back up.

Quickly move through the next area, as pieces will crumble beneath you. Once
out of the area and the thin valley is blocked behind you, talk to Virgil
until he disappears, then save at the nearby save point. 


*** Violence ***                                          -VILNCE-

Drop down the nearby corpse pillar. Drop to the rope below and head across to
the right. Drop down *ONE* rope and move all the way to the left to find a
shade, [Silver Coin 26], and [RELIC]Shoe of Nessus. Get back on the rope and
head back to the right. Drop to the next rope down. Move to the end, then drop
off and immediately hook the sphere ahead. Swing to the next rope. Drop from it
to the dangling rope, and slide all the way down and off. Destroy the debris
for a short scene and a lever. Twist the statue as far as you can and let go.
Do this three times. Use the new grapple point to swing across to the corpse
pillar. Slide down and off of the pillar.

Move ahead and talk to Virgil until he disappears. Move ahead and break the
fountains if you need to. Jump onto the platform and kill the new demon. Move
one platform up and jump onto the corpse pillar to the left. Climb it to the
top, but be careful of your timing so you don't get fried. Swing over to the
next platform and take out the two Grafters. Head down the corpse pillar at
the top right once they're taken care of.

Right when you land, double jump to the right for [Silver Coin 27]. Climb up
the wall just to the right, and head into the small hole in the rock. Grab the
[RELIC]Attila's Armor at the end of the path. Head all the way back. Move
across the weighing platforms for a mini conversation, then turn left and jump
onto the ledge for [Silver Coin 28]. Talk to Virgil until he disappears. Save,
then proceed down the path.

When the "plant" starts dropping bombs constantly, look to the right and start
hitting the red tree trunk to stop it. Move ahead. You'll see another bombing
plant on the left; ignore it we can't get by it right now. Head down the right
path and destroy the trunk. Follow the path ahead. Kill the enemies that come,
then continue. You'll pass by a shade along the way. When you slide down a
ramp, look to the left for a small stone step to grab. Move it to the far end
of the area. Hold onto it and kick it up the ramp with Circle (B for 360
users I would guess). Quickly jump onto it as it slides down, then up to the
top of the ramp for a save point.

Destroy the nearby trunk. Drop down ahead and head to the background. Jump
onto the ledge and continue forward. When the heart-thing drops within reach,
attack it. Otherwise kill the smaller enemies. After a scene, acquire new
Magic: Suicide Fruit. After the short fight, move ahead and talk to Virgil
until he disappears.

Follow the path ahead. When you see a raised platform on the right, jump onto
it, then jump to the nearby higher ledge for a shade and [Silver Coin 29].
Head back down and continue along the path. Take out the heretics ahead. Move
forward to see a yellow fountain containing [Silver Coin 30] on the right, and
a shade to the left. Get both. Continue down the path. Grab the health and
magic fountains if you need them, then head left for a short scene.

In the next fight, use your Holy Cross to break the enemies shield. Move ahead
when the enemies are taken care of. When you're on a platform with a soul
fountain above a pool of blood, jump to the left to find [RELIC]Memory of Acre.
Head back and double jump across the pool to get to the other side. Continue
ahead.

At the ramp ahead, you need to move the platform up the hill while fighting
off enemies. Using Lust Storm makes it a cinch. Once you have the platform at
the top, climb the two ledges to the left and jump over and across. Climb
along the wall and continue down the path for a save point. Talk to Virgil
until he disappears. Head down and jump off of the corpse pillar for a short
scene.

-- Francesco --

He will occasionally stab a sword into the ground while attacking. When he's
nearby, grab the sword with R1 to hit him with it and break his shield. At
about half health, he'll summon a few minions. Otherwise just treat it as an
in-an-out bout. Acquire [RELIC]Francesco's Forgiveness.

---------------

Take out enemies as the platform descends. When it comes to a stop, use the
fountains if you need to and save.


*** Fraud ***                                             -FRAUD8-

- TIP - This is a fantastic place to get your Poetry in motion (666 hit combo)
achievement/trophy. Set the difficulty to its highest setting and just spam
Sins of the Father. You will have unlimited mana so all you need to worry about
is getting knocked down (Thanks to Kris for pointing this out to me).
You can also get this trophy/achievement during the challenge to kill 5 enemies
in the air, as they will respawn until you do; just don't kill any in the air
and get to building your combo.

Move forward a bit for a scene and a fight. Afterwards, continue ahead. Grab
the shade on the ledge to your right. Drop down and head through the door.
Use the lever to descend. Move ahead and through the next door. Get onto the
moving platform, and head to the platform on the other side. Move ahead and
climb across the wall after the fight.

Save if you need to, then continue ahead. Swing across and do the next
challenge. Move ahead and pull the lever. Be ready to jump off of the platform
or you will fall to your death. Head through the next door for another
challenge. 

Move ahead and grab on to the rope. Drop down to the corpse pillar, then down
to another rope. Move all the way across to find a shade. Move ahead and save/
use the fountains as necessary, then head through the next door. This one is
annoying, but can be beaten cheaply. Get one of the demons to low health, hit
R2 and punish them. If you get the kill where you are chopping off its head,
hit circle/A SLOWLY so you aren't thrown off quickly, but you also don't kill
it quickly. You should be able to last 8-10 seconds this way and you're done.

Move ahead and destroy the gear. Be ready to jump off to the left as you pass
the opening. Save or whatnot, then head through the next door. Make your way
through the slight rope puzzle ahead, then move through the next door for
another challenge. Be ready to use a grapple when the bridge falls. Move ahead
for another save point and more fountains, then through the next door for
another challenge.

Move ahead and make your way down the climbable wall for a familiar passage.
After the challenge, head over and down the corpse pillar. Drop off to the
rope below and move all the way to the right before dropping to grab onto the
wall. Climb up to another passageway. Move across the bridge after the
challenge and pull the lever. Be ready to jump to the right. As soon as you
land, grab the shade before proceeding. Head through the door to the final
challenge.

Once this one is done, head across the bridge for a scene. Move ahead and talk
to Virgil until he disappears. Move along the path and grab the shade before
saving.


*** Treachery ***                                         -TRCHRY-

Head down the corpse pillars and onto the rope below. Head across to the other
end and drop down for a fight. Be careful of the giants' breath as you fight
here; it will blow you off of the area. Once all enemies are down, use the
grapple point to swing to a rope. Break the ice and jump across to the corpse
pillar. Move all the way up and onto the ledge above for a shade and two soul
fountains.

Head back down the corpse pillar and swing across the gap. Head all the way
down the next corpse pillar and talk to Virgil until he disappears. Head along
the path ahead and, when you see a piece of ice shake, move off of it quickly.
Once you've made it across, look to the left for a shadow and some fountains.
Save, then head to the right and break the link. Scene.

-- Lucifer --

- Phase 1 -

Jump when he slams his fist to avoid the shockwave. Pelt him with your Holy
Cross. When he leans back, you're able to hit him for some much higher damage.
When a beam of light shoots in, follow the button prompt to force him to lean
back. When you're lifted in a tornado use X to jump out of it when prompted.
Once his health gets low enough he will go to...

-----------
- Phase 2 -

He'll flash the screen and blind you if you try to use Holy Cross; it also will
not damage him. When he does a ground slam jump to dodge the shockwaves. 
Otherwise it's in-and-out. At half health he'll begin doing a multiple-pound
ground shockwave. When his health gets low enough he'll go to...

-----------
- Phase 3 -

This time he'll stay airborne. Holy Cross no longer works. To attack, move a
bit away and face him for an R1 prompt to grapple and pull yourself to him.
Now he'll send out waves of three fireballs, or a crescent wave of fire. He'll
also occasionally do a ground pound like in phase 2 and, rarely in my
experience, a shot of five fireballs. When you get him down to nearly no
health left, he'll move into...

-----------
- Phase 4 -

Now he has raised the platforms. To get to him, you need to grapple the bottom
of the platforms and work your way higher to him. Follow the button prompts.

Congradulations! You've completed Dante's Inferno!

*** Dark Forest ***                                       -DARFOR-

Take out enemies as they spawn; kill the Heretics first to lower the shields so
that your Holy attacks will cause damage. Head through the newly opened path
and, after the short scene, head through the fog in front of you. Jump over the
log and examine the Leopard statue in the center of the area.

Head through the foggy portal on the right of the screen and take out the Fiend
before heading through the portal straight ahead. Take out another Fiend and go
through the portal to the left. After dispatching a couple more Fiend's, head
through the left portal. Take out the Fiend's here and take the right portal.

After the small scene take out the enemies and check the statue at the top left
of the screen. Use the new lever and turn the lion to face the portal in the
middle of the screen. Head through that portal. Turn the new lion to face the
left portal and head through after taking out the Fiend. Kill the Fiend and
turn the lion towards the left portal and move through. Kill this Fiend and,
again, turn the lion to face the left portal and go through it. Take out the
Fiend and turn this lion towards the right portal and head through for a scene.

Take out the enemies, then check the She-Wolf in the center of the area. Grab
the pillar at the top right of the screen and move it to the left and block the
portal in the center of the screen. Now, when the moonlight shines from above
the right portal, enter it. You'll see the man run out from the left portal
shortly before you emerge. Quickly head back through the left portal to cut him
off for a short scene. Take out the enemies and head through the center opening
to follow the man to where the main story begins.
