Boss: Succubus - first part of an encounter | 6: Secret Ingredient DMC: Devil May Cry Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Don't attack Succubus when the battle begins, just wait. Boss will try to hit you with his upper limbs. Make double jumps to avoid blows.
Notice, that at every attempt a red bump uncovers. Use it, running quickly and attacking it with random melee weapon. Hit hard until you see that boss is ready to attack you once again. Move back and watch for his blows again.
Boss doesn't limit himself to attack with limbs, he'll also from time to time try to hit you with an acid. You have to react quickly, because all platform gets covered in acid. To run from it use an Angel Pull to get onto a neighbour platform (screen above).
After reaching new platform, resume attacking boss and remember about double jumps and running away from acid.
You have to eliminate a first bar of boss' energy. In this moment a short cut scene is displayed which uncovers two cables attached to boss' body. Wait until you regain control and use Demon Pull to pull out cable. Remark: if Dante says he is too far from the cable, quickly move onto upper platform and try once again.
Your action weakens and irritates boss. It means that you have to run away from a platform before it'll get destroyed. To do so, use an Angel Pull.
Next phase doesn't differ from the first one. You have to avoid boss' attacks (upper limbs and acid) looking for an occasion to attack a bump on his forehead.
Continue attacking until you reduces the second energy bar to zero. Wait until you regain control, catch a cable with a Demon Pull and run away from the platform (Angel Pull) before it is destroyed.
In the next phase you can't run onto side platforms. Boss should be so weak that he won't try to spit an acid at you. You should quickly destroy his energy bar.
This time you must use Demon Pull at succubus' mouth.
Wait until you regain control and quickly use an Angel Pull at a latch in front of you. Return to where the Divinity Statue was, what takes you to the second part of an encounter with succubus.
