Fearfully and wonderfully made
Devil May Cry Enemy: Marionette
The Marionettes are your token video game fodder; they’re not terribly smart judging by the way they aimlessly traipse around the castle. They tend to prefer slashing you when you get close enough, but are also capable of tossing a few blades in your direction if there is a little distance between you. Again, not terribly smart.
Devil May Cry Enemy: Sin Scissors
These spirits might look a little intimidating at first sight as they are the first enemy you encounter that is capable of flying and phasing in and out of the walls. They will attempt to use their giant scissors to chop you up, try to keep mobile when you see them descend near your position.
Devil May Cry Enemy: Sin Scythe
These are almost identical to the Sin Scissors spirits, but instead they wield a slightly more powerful scythe. Their attacks hardly differ from the Sin Scissors; the only one you should be keep on your toes for is the “scythe boomer” technique they will occasionally use.
Devil May Cry Enemy: Death Scissors
The Death Scissors are the successor to the Sin Scissors. They look nothing like their inferior cousins and worst of all they are much more powerful and have higher stamina. Their attacks aren’t nearly as limited as the Sin’s; beware of their continuous corkscrew attack which can catch you off guard. But like the Sin’s, their main weakness is their skull.
Devil May Cry Enemy: Death Scythe
The Death Scythes are by far the most feared of the “Sin” and “Death” spirits. A direct hit from one of these on the Dante Must Die difficulty will count as a critical hit and you’ll likely want to avoid a second one. Fight with caution.
Devil May Cry Enemy: Sargasso
These giant fighting skulls do not pose much of a threat at all. They will try and glide and you and bite a chunk out of you but a simple barrel roll is all that’s necessary to avoid them. The shotgun works especially well against these foes.
Devil May Cry Enemy: Shadow
This creature resembles a large cat in its main form, but it is capable of morphing its body into several different instruments, including giant spikes. They can be fairly fast when they are under attack and usually try to transform into a giant jaw to take a bite out of you when they are threatened.
Devil May Cry Enemy: Beelzebub
The Beelzebub creatures are similar to giant flies – that’s about the only way I can describe them. They are pretty straightforward to dispatch alone but they have a tendancy to attack in large clusters, although even then they aren’t all that difficult when you have your shotgun handy. Beware of their “vomit” attack, it’s not particuarly painful, it’s just… gross.
Devil May Cry Enemy: Kyklops
The Kyklops bare a resemblance to the Phantom boss as they are protected by a sturdy rock hide, which of course gives them good durability. They also share the same agility as Phantom, capable of leaping giant lengths to reach their targets.
Devil May Cry Enemy: Blade
The Blades are reptile gladiators who excel at melee combat; when you first have to battle these you will realise just how resiliant they can be. Their armour helps strengthen their defence and give them extended stamina. Use your dodging techniques to avoid their attacks and try and land a hit when their guard is down.
Devil May Cry Enemy: Fetish
They appear deceptively similar to the low-class Marionettes, but don’t be fooled by them at first glance. They can take quite a bit of damage on the higher difficulties so be prepared for a lengthy fight. Watch out for the flame-engulfed boomerang and immobilizing war-cry attack.
Devil May Cry Enemy: Nobody
Like the Marionettes, these aren’t the sharpest knives in the draw, but they have a tremendous amount of strength and stamina to make up for it. One of their more annoying techniques is their ability to drain your devil trigger, and watch out for their jump kick attack – if it connects you will more then likely be catapulted quite a distance. Also try not to get too close when they are dying as they will explode.
Devil May Cry Enemy: Frost
These are the elite versions of the Blades, not only are they vicious warriors but they are also capable of manipulating powerful ice techniques at will. Their speed is also worth commending, although they usually tend to use their teleportation ability to phase throughout the area. When close to an opponent they will use their bladed gauntlets to slice them to ribbons and launch powerful icy projectiles when far away.
Devil May Cry Enemy: Plasma
Electrical bats is about the most accurate way to describe these creatures. They are capable of harnessing the electrical current that runs through their body and fire the bolts straight at you, so whenever you see them begin to charge themselves, stay sharp. Their ability to mimic their opponent’s form and techniques is also something to keep in mind…
