Enemies

Empusa

Standard insectoid demon that poses little threat; easily eliminated using basic familiar strikes.

Gilgamesh Tentacle

Large appendages that burst from the walls or floor to strike V; evade them quickly and retaliate from range.

Ripper

Armored wheel-like demons that spin rapidly; knocking them into the air disrupts their charge.

Elder Geryon Knight

Boss demon riding a time-bending steed; use Nightmare to absorb damage and break its guard when it casts slow-motion spheres.

Shops and people

Divinity Statue: Upgrades, abilities, and consumables such as Gold Orbs and Blue Orbs in exchange for Red Orbs

Tips

Summon Nightmare during combat arenas with heavy debris or cracked walls to let the giant demon smash through them, revealing hidden pathways and items.
When Elder Geryon slows down time with its energy domes, ride Nightmare or immediately dodge out of the area of effect to prevent getting comboed by the Knight's lance.
