Much like Echidna, this time around it is a little different and a little more difficult. Use the sword master style – always use the swordmaster style- and get in close to him. Hack and slash away with some combos and jump to get close as you can to his head. Avoid his attacks as best you can since there will be no more health lying around and use the Devil Trigger when it is available and you have an opening to attack. Keep persistent in your attacks on him but get out of the way when you see the flames coming and the huge sword about to start swinging.

After the battle with Berial, you will receive the Lucifer which is a pretty cool weapon. Try it out and see if you like it better than Gilgamesh. When you are ready, head down the stairs at the end of the area and the mission will end.

Mission Seventeen: Adagio for Strings

Exit the mines and then head back out to the docks. When you cross the bridge, you will face a gang of scarecrows as well as a group of Angel’s right after. Take them all out with your fancy new powers and then head for the archway to the left. Go through the door there to enter the residential district. As you head through the narrow corridor, some Mephistos and Assaults will jump you. Take them out and continue to the top of the ramp, not missing the giant red crystal to the right as you near the top. Go through the door to enter the business district and to head out to the street. Make your way to the large doors at the end, but you will have to fight a large group of enemies along the way. Tons of scarecrows and basilisk come out to play.

Once they are down, head through the doors and you will be at the opera house plaza. Here you will need to fight a Faust and a few more angles to get through. Once you take care of them, head to the opera and make your way down the corridor leading to the right. Head through the door there to have another battle with Angelo Agnus. Hey it’s the Waspinator again. This time around Angelo Agnus is super hard to beat. Ok I lied. No he isn’t. He is no more difficult then last time and uses the same techniques on you. Combo him relentlessly and be sure to disrupt him when he starts talking. Again, the Devil Trigger is your friend here and Agnus really will drop in record time.

Mission Eighteen: The Destroyer

Now that you have Yamato back after that super long cut scene, its time to put it to good use but you will also want to have a Holy Water or two with you on this level for the ending battle. To start the battle with the savior, jump on the blue ring and then once again on the next platform. The blue ring to the left will launch you to another smaller platform, but the savior will strike at you with his hand. When he does, jump on and take a stroll up his arm. Smash the first blue crystal on his wrist and then the second on his shoulder. Try to aim for the crystal on his head with your guns before you get the brush off. When both are smashed, he will knock you off and you will land back on the platforms.

The Savior has more crystals across his body that you need to smash, but you will leave the one in his chest for last. Not because you want to, but because the game says so. From the center platform, with the savior in front of you, try to target the crystals and fire with your guns. Sometimes you can hit them from here and some times you can’t. If you can, go nuts, but if not, make your way to the blue rings and jump to the next platform. Keep going left or right on the platforms until you come to the platform with a large “laser” on it. There are two that you can use, but pick a direction you want to go first and then head to the other one after.

Use the mechanism to fire it up and it will zap the savior when he reaches for you. Hop on the arms and take out the crystals there and again, take some pot shots at the one on his forehead. Once the arms and head crystals are smashed, you’ll need to hop across the platforms via the blue rings until you find the cannon. Fire it up once you get it and it will take the Saviors legs out from under him. A scene will play and you will jump down onto him. Quickly make your way from crystals to crystal, smashing them all as you go avoiding the angels that are coming. Once you smash all the legs crystals, another scene will play and you will hop, skip and jump to a higher, smaller platform. Now all you need to do it smash the one lone crystal in his chest.
