These vampires are very dangerous and it takes skill and good tactics to beat them in battle. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------- Tactics -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------- Many people just start targeting and slashing with blocking but to kill these vampires it takes more than that, actually you hardly even have to use slashing. First we will start with the Fury Technique - This tactic is very useful but you must prepare for it by setting the option blocking to Assisted blocking. Hold the L2 button and select the Fury Dark Gift with the right analog stick. Target the enemy and hold L1 till your rage meter is bright red (Rage meter is on top left of screen). When it turns bright read make sure you have a good alignment and hit the O button. This takes a chunk out of their hit points. This tactic is non-blockable. Block and Tap - With the Assist blocking mode on, take 3 hits from the enemy then start slashing. Hit them 2 times (they will block these attacks) then stall and attack 3 times. This tactic can be used most effective with claws. Limit Dodging - Most strong bosses or enemies have a non-blockable attack that is ready when they start charging then they hit you full force and knock off half or a quarter of your hit points. When you see a enemy squat down or lean back for 1.5 seconds, press X to the left. Not the right because the probability of them hitting you is greater in the right direction. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------- Faustus -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------- In this battle you will walk through a small passage and into a room then a event will happen and Faustus will challenge you to a battle. Stage 1: Use the Fury Technique about 5 times, do NOT block and attack( Block and attacking will lead to half dead vampire being beaten by the traitor vampire.) When 1/5th of his blood is gone he will jump into a tunnel and tell Kain that he has a surprise for him. Stage 2: Turn to your left and go through the open door that is on ground level and then go into the next room. This room will have 4 ovens on each side with a switch on the bottom. Hold L2 before entering and select the Mist Dark Gift. ------------------------------------------------------------ | \_______/ | | | |__ __| | | | | | | | | |__| |__| | | | _______ | | / \ | ------------------------------------------------------------ Faustus will jump from oven to oven. There is mist on the sides around the ovens, there is some mist on one or more ovens that reaches to the corners. Run at him until he comes to one of these. Then go on the corner with the mist and go into mist form. Run to the switch of the oven that he is on top of and turn it on. This will take 3 times before he starts to go around and around the room. Stage 3: In the middle of the room there will be some light patterns shining on the ground. Stand still till you hear him fall down then run, it doesn’t matter just away from the place that you was at. Faustus will drop kick into the wall and will be stunned. Do this over and over till he finally dies. Congratulations you have gained the Jump Dark Gift. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------- Marcus -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------- When fighting this extremely easy vampire you need to switch on the Jump Dark Gift. Stage 1: There will be 2 bell switch on either side of the wall. Just go back and fort switching them on. Marcus will be stunned when you turn one of them on. So just start targeting and slashing till he vanishes. Do this till he is 1/4th dead. Stage 2: Marcus will call upon his charmed priest minions to attack you on sight. Go to the second story from the stairs behind the altar. When you see his image flicker just run toward him and target then slash. You do not have to target anything just slash in the direction that he vanished. He will die eventually, congratulations you have gained the Dark Gift of Charm. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------- Sebastian -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------- The hardest of the 3, Sebastian is fast and cunning. Stage 1: Sebastian will battle you in the middle of the room below the Nexus Stone. Watch out for the steam that circles around the arena. Use the Fury Technique till he goes into Stage 2: This is a bit tricky, the Nexus stone is activated and steam is in 2 jets that circle the room. Sebastian goes around and around and stops at 1 of 4 points around the room. What you need to do is keep walking between the two steam jets. When he stops look and notice where he is and hide behind the Nexus Beam. He will jump into the beam and be damaged pretty badly. Do this 3 times and he should ask the mechanic to lift the platform. Stage 3: Sebastian will try to destroy the Nexus Stone in this stage, just jump on top of the platform and hold L2 to turn on the Charm Dark gift and hit O. Aim at the mechanic that is behind the window at the control panel at the far wall. Turn on the switch that makes the steam go on. Sebastian will jump on the platform and go back into Stage 1 type of fighting. Do not fall off the platform or you will die. When his blood is gone he will fall off the platform. Congratulations you have gained the Dark Gift of Berserk
