Devil May Cry 5 : Beating Urizen in Prologue with no upgrades : Devil Hunter

Dead weight eh Dante?
I've seen videos of people beating Urizen after beating the game and having upgrades, but not yet one of someone taking him out right from new game. I have clocked 3 hours in steam for the game, all runs of this so, took a bit!
The absolute hardest part is that 2nd stage where he starts pairing up lasers and fireballs together. But finding out that the Aerial combo with the revved up sword does more damage than the on the ground combo really was key, because there's on doing a 3rd stage with him, it's gotta be two.
Also just, there's no way but to pelt him in that second stage, to make any real ground. He does too many combos to really meaningfully get up close and hammer on him like I did in stage 1. It's like 3 minutes of constant swinging to get it to break so also conceding to just gunning him down was the thing that did it.
Anyways enjoy!

I was thinking surely the game devs would have Urizen stand up and kick you out by force but nope, they decided they'd let you skip the whole game if you were skilled enough. What a ballsy design move.

[@ironmonger9828]

So, if Nero had beat Urizen in the beginning, Dante wouldn’t have become stronger, he wouldn’t have known who his father was, V would probably die after awhile unless he finds a way to replenish his demonic energy, Nero wouldn’t get his arm back or unlock his potential. And the tree would still be there! That and Dante would probably have to keep a secret that Nero killed his dad.

[@neojb1989]

Yea with the way the game goes normally, you are right this may be a bad ending :p

[@neloangelo7297]

Maybe Nero will get the yamato because it is hidden in the crystal that protects urizen, give it to Dante and he will cut the tree and seal the portal using yamato

[@skullfishd2346]

I don't think V will die cause he only gets weak half way cause he fights demons he only have a limit

Btw air taunt is a good alternative for a double jump since it gives you extra height and maintains momentum from the actual jump, plus it adds to style. I personally used it to dodge the laser beams when I’m doing an air combo.

Pics or didn't happen

[@griglog]

Standing at the edge of the arena instead of going into his face yields approximately the same dps but is way easier in my opinion. Also in case anyone wants to unlock the SoS difficulty, defeating Urizen on Human is enough. Breaking the crystal takes the same time and his attacks deal the same damage, I think, but it will be easy to kill Urizen in 2 crystal breaks without doing perfect ignition timings

[@Shapoopy]

Just got the game and have been trying to go fight in his face will try this and see what happens

[@griglog]

​@@ShapoopyAnother advice I can give you is to watch out for the time-slowing orb cast. When it starts, jump up. If timed right, the orb flies to some point in the air where you have been while jumping. It ends up being stuck in the ceiling and cant harm you

It also has a the same thing if you win as Nero/Vergil later, when you're supposed to lose as Nero and then win as Dante.

[@Shapoopy]

I just got the game and beat the prologue boss before continuing the story. Tips first phase get in his face and jump attack and either air taunt when the purple arrows fall or dash out the way Once the first crystal is broken Back as far away as you can in the middle area, and air taunt over the slow orb as well as the two purple sweeping beams and shoot the crystal down. If you get close second phase he’ll occasionally spam the two blue and two red orbs together which sucks. Easiest strat to beat this guy no upgrades.

That was actually a joke but if they ever let Nero win this fight, V would just sneak in and fuse to be Vergil again

How do u do half life,I can only get him down to 10% after two phases exactly how do I use l2 and my air combo during the damage phase

The air strikes come faster than the ground strikes so it really is just trying to get timing right on each air strike to also have ot charged. Try mashing that charge button as your swinging. But that's really it just getting lucky with how many of your hits come out charged
