Mission 15: Diverging Point: Nero

Devil May Cry 5 guide · Nero fights his way up the Qliphoth

Nero navigates an underground network of fungal and crystalline caverns beneath the Qliphoth, choosing between multiple alternate paths that wind down toward the depths. Along the way, players can utilize the Punch Line Devil Breaker to surf across steep slopes or jump across crumbling terrain. The mission concludes in a massive subterranean arena where Nero faces Malphas, who rides atop a multi-headed avian demon.

Enemies

Malphas

Teleports frequently and uses portal-based attacks; target the main rider body atop the avian beast to stagger her.

Baphomet

Ranged spellcaster that launches tracking icicles and dark projectiles; pull them in with Wire Snatch to eliminate quickly.

Lusachia

High-tier caster that channels massive lightning and energy beams; interrupt its spells before it unleashes full-room attacks.

Judecca

Teleporting summoner that blinds and immobilizes Nero; prioritize it early in combat waves to prevent demon reinforcements.

Shops and people

Divinity Statue: Upgrades, combat skills, Devil Breakers, and consumables

Tips

Equipping the Punch Line Devil Breaker makes navigating Mission 15 significantly easier, as riding the fist allows you to climb steep inclines and bypass hazard paths.
During the Malphas fight, use Gerbera or Nero's double jump to easily leap over the charging bird strikes and teleporting beak thrusts.
