Not at all.

There are sound cues and their attacks are pretty easily telegraphed.

Literally beat them third try when I was 12. Try harder.

Beat him first try, can't say the same about the ice dog though

i had more trouble with cerberus desu

These are the git gud boss of DMC3

When I was 12, I farmed red orbs for hours and then spammed the Holy Water things (forgot what the item was that damages everyone on screen) until they were dead.

If you use Royal Guard it's a little easier, but you have to Just Release for it to go smoothly.

The Cerberus weapon was what allowed me to take these guys down. Jump over their attacks and maneuver yourself into a position to hammer one of them with Cerberus until you can make him drop his weapon.

That would be Vergil each time you fought him

Pretty much this. I think cerberus also has an attack that will block their generic sword strike which gives you an opportunity to dash away. I just remember spinning into them a bunch. They were a bitch the first time, still difficult, but not impossible

Hands down best boss fight besides Virgil. Also git gud faggot it's amazing fair and balanced if you know how to place yourself in a fight

The Bird was worse.

You realize you can counter them by clashing swords right? When one starts to prepare for an attack just million stab them. One of those hits will smack their sword away and stun them.
Also make sure when you're about to kill one that the other is also close to death.

>DMC 3
>Bird
Nigger wut

sword
clash

thanks vance

id guess it'd prolly be more difficult with royal guard but idk

If you jump cancel the Just Guard and the Just Release it's almost impossible to fail.

After that all you have to do is save up enough rage for the Just Release to do mondo damage. If it's your first time playing the game, or a first playthrough, I'd just recommend using Gunslinger/Ceberus. Since Shotgun Charge and Revolver is great for that fight.

How do i handle a situation where i kill one and then the other takes his weapon and has some big ass range attacks?

It looks like in that phase i simple can't knock off their weapons

>Using RG over Swordsmaster
I knew tripfags were shit but come on now

but thats boring shit

not implying i dont abuse aerial slash invincibility windows but damn

Gunslinger is the best mode

My favorite style is Gunslinger, but Sword Master has Dance Macabre and Real Impact, so it's cool too.

Is there a better feeling in all of gaming than getting reckted by a boss, practicing, then completely dominating them?

I could never understand how to get good at gunslinger. I always had trouble get S ranks with it compared to others

>got stuck horribly on fucking Cerberus of all bosses
>everything after that was a breeze
I just can't understand myself sometimes

Just disarm one and beat him until he has 3/4 of his health, repeat it with the other one and then kill them both before they get the chance to fuse.

You're supposed to use it as a melee style. It's advertised as a ranged and defensive style, but does super damage at close ranges.

Combined with the weapons you can get, it makes you ridiculously overpowered compared to Sword Master.

i had more hassle trying to get S with RG. your parries have to be super precise or u will take too much dmg. 2 hard imo

>Found Cerburs hard but Beuwoulf
Explain

I feel like Cerberus was put in place as a casual filter by developers.

because I feel the exact same way

>DMC3
>using anything but Trickster

I don't even.

>fighting them first time
>hmm there's two so I better focus one to kill him off before I go to the other
>mfw I kill one of them and the other one ENRAGES WITH FULL FUCKING HP

Can literally button mash through the fight with the exception of jumping

Vergil is a literal nonthreat until the second fight.

>Needing trickster
Trickster is playing on easy mode son

Trickster is for Vergil.
As Dante you stick to Swordmaster.

>using guns at close range does more damage

Really? I never knew. thanks user

none of the bosses are difficult until vergil 2

>finally beat those fuckers
>get their weapons

How good are they?

Beat them first try. second favorite weapon in the game.

>just fuck our shits up

The best way is to make sure they both have low as fuck HP then kill one off and before the other gets to run and jump you kill him before his 2nd phase.

Yeah if you charge the shotgun at level three Gunslinger, use Shotgun Stinger and switch it out for Spiral sometimes, you can kill most anything on DMD without even breaking a sweat.

Of course you'll still want the right melee weapons, since it's not foolproof, but used properly it's a wonder how it's not more popular.

I was so fucking mad that they didn't returen in DMC4
I wonder if Dante warmed up to them later and shared some pizza with them

Also
I wonder if can manifest a spiritual image of Nirvana, i couldn't blame him if he did.
i would fuck my guitar too

Every time in Dark Souls.

Not even. All you need to dodge, divide, and conquer.
Virgil however...

I suppose I just got more used to how the game worked by then, I can't quite remember how I beat him, but I do remember that I got him in my first try. Probably because I'm a fag and use Trickster

I think I tried taking it as slow as possible, hitting him in the eye weakspot and Sky Starr-ing/Dashing away when he trashes around or uses his light attacks.

Great for closing gaps, and do mass control with Swordmaster. Their SM aerials are probably my favorite to use, and their normal aerial are easy to spam.

They're solid.

>not liking RG
Disdain for plebs.png

Is there any use for Spiral or is it just more convenient to have Kalina Ann?

Also, which weapon setups do you prefer?

I always liked Rebellion/Beowulf with E&I/Kalina Ann; good mix of maneuverability and power as needed. Could swap out Rebellion for A&R if I wanted some more punch .

Also liked going Bruce Lee with Cerberus/Beowulf/Royal Guard.

>but used properly it's a wonder how it's not more popular.
Because it's only small bursts of damage and sucks dick in the long run

Especially if you compare it to RG's survivability + damage output or even just Trickster's survivability.

Gunslinger is the weakest style period. Even if it has moments of awesomeness and damage.

I know, I meant when I was fighting them first time as a kid years ago.

Why did they make Nevan so useless without swordmaster?

Swordmaster Nevan/Beowulf E&I/Rockets best combo

I like RG but using it over Swordmaster limits game play a fuck ton

>Rebellion+Beowulf
Mah nigga

Last boss I beat by myself before I gave up and used the skin that makes you have infinite devil trigger.
Not my proudest moment.

spiral is good with gunslinger, anything else and there's little reason not to use Kalina

Rebellion+beowulf and SM is stylish combos for days

>could parry them easily on my first playthrough where I barely knew what the fuck was going on
>can barely parry them now for some reason
FUCK

Spiral knocks down Nevan and lets you wail on her for longer. Kalina Ann might also do that, though, but I don't remember

i loved all the weapons tbqh, but i probably used nevan/A&R artemis/kalina the most.
with swordmaster ofc

When Dante's done with work he probably just throws his new devil arms somewhere on the floor or in his basement.

>After all these years still cant get good with Nevan
I just want to be a rad guitar reaper

barely any of the swordmaster moves add actual utility to a weapon, if anything its combo padding, which is fine for styling in most cases generally the fastest and most damaging moves are all available without it, the only weapons that's gimped at all in terms of usability without it is Nevan.

Royal guard on the other hand is an absolute game changer in terms of utility, and gives you the power to destroy whole groups of enemies in the blink of an eye, in addition to almost guaranteeing constant SSS once you've learned how to use it

Spiral is superior to Kalina Ann in every single fight except for Arkham.

And if you switch cancel it becomes much much effective as well.

Kalina Ann can be blocked at the range it works
Spiral can not be blocked past a certain distance and it invalidates those archer enemies entirely.
It is an overpowered weapon and also it gives shitloads of style points if you switch cancel because they never factored in what canceling it would be like.

Gunslinger also adds absolutely nothing useful to the gun

I hope you have fun with Beowulf, fag.

>Not playing Trickster to go fast
It's like you don't want to have fun

Cerberus is a battle of attrition. He has pattern changes late in his life bar iirc so it's not hard to get caught off guard when he's almost dead, triggering extra rage.

>think you have him stunlocked into EZ mode
>suddenly asswrecked when there's barely more than a pixel
>VERY EASY MODE UNLOCKED

You'll probably have to fuck with your controls, you really need to be able to charge your melee, guns, and devil trigger while still being able to jump. When I play gunslinger I put shoot and DT on the triggers, jump and melee are next to eachother so I can charge attacks and still jump. being able to charge shit up while you're mid combo is what really pushes you over the edge into pure ass-beating territory.

This guy is fucking insane and a good example of shit you (probably can't) do with gunslinger.

>Sparda tier (maximum damage and style)
Rebellion/Beowulf, Ebony & Ivory/Kalina Ann

>SSS tier (Sword juggles for day)
Rebellion/Agni & Rudra, Ebony & Ivory/Artemis

>SS tier (Stay away and get fuck or get close and get fucked)
Nevan/Beowulf, Coyote/Spiral

>S tier (just to look cool)
Cerberus/Agni & Rudra, Ebony & Ivory/Kalina Ann

>Having to level up the other styles after maxing it
>Find it a chore and turn back to Trickster
I just can't handle not going fast. I don't even care about the i-frames, I just want to run all over the place

I wholeheartedly understand, though Swordmaster is still pretty fun so I don't mind as much. Gunslinger and Royal Guard are just a chore at this point, RG especially so because I can't time my parries for shit.

I beat them on a keyboard on the PC version.

I also got an S rank on the first mission but I'm positive that one was a glitch.

Easier than the fucking first boss in the tutorial.

That shit had me stuck for a couple of hours.

>get obliterated by them first time as Dante
>first time as Vergil just spam Lunar Phase and they can't do shit

equip Nevan and dash around in swordmaster with its instastinger instead.
