Enemies

Baphomet

Ranged demon that casts ice and dark spells from a distance.

Proto Angelo

Heavily armored knight with a massive sword; can block frontal attacks and enter a powered-up state.

Scudo Angelo

Shield-bearing infantry demons that often fight in formations alongside Proto Angelos.

Urizen

Defended by the Yamato crystal; attack the red crystal to shatter his defensive shield before dealing damage directly to him.

Tips

Use Gerbera's air mobility or the Flap Top ability to dodge Urizen's ground-sweeping laser beams.
You do not need to defeat Urizen to complete the mission; surviving long enough or shattering his shield triggers a cutscene that progresses the story.
