Tips

  • V cannot attack directly, so keep him at a safe distance while commanding Griffon and Shadow to attack from afar.
  • When enemies glow with purple and white energy, they are staggered and V must teleport in with his cane to deliver the killing blow.
  • Summoning Nightmare temporarily gives Griffon and Shadow infinite health and autonomous attacks, and can also smash through specific brittle walls in the environment.
  • Reading V's poetry book with the lock-on button slowly refills your Devil Trigger gauge when you have breathing room during fights.
