Walkthrough
- 1Secret Mission 05: Reach the goal without touching the ground. Use floating Grim Grip points to grapple between them. Shoot the Grim Grip points to activate them. Use Air Hike sparingly if needed.
- 2Continue through the main mission. Use the flame platform to return to the normal area.
- 3Wait for the moving Grim Grip point to be high enough to reach the ledge above.
- 4Optional: Jump at the top of the elevator to find a Gold Orb.
- 5Reach the Bloodstream. Go behind it to find and destroy a tentacle. A Blue Orb Fragment will appear in front of the Bloodstream.
- 6Head behind the final Bloodstream to find and destroy another tentacle, which spawns a Blue Orb Fragment.
- 7Continue towards the boss area. Collect Red Orbs from a dead end near Nico's van.
- 8Proceed up the incline by Nico's van, defeating Empusas and a Green Empusa.
- 9Reach the end of the path for a rematch against Urizen.
Boss Fight - Urizen:
This fight has two phases.
- Phase 1: Identical to the Prologue fight. Focus on keeping your distance and using charged shots with the Blue Rose on Urizen's protective crystal. Dodge his attacks. Use Gerbera for extra dodges or to reflect fireballs.
- Destroy the crystal to trigger a cutscene and Phase 2.
- Phase 2: Urizen is in the center of the arena. He can spawn tentacles (which drop health) and has a new homing tentacle attack. Dodge this attack carefully, potentially using Gerbera. You are intended to lose this phase, but winning is possible with post-game abilities.
Tips
- For Secret Mission 05, precise timing with the Grim Grips is crucial. Save your Air Hike for emergencies.
- In the Urizen fight, charged shots with Blue Rose are effective against his crystal.
- Gerbera is highly recommended for dodging Urizen's attacks, especially the homing tentacle.
- If attempting to defeat Urizen in Phase 2, be aware that he can quickly regenerate his crystal.
