- Point is, attack the head, not the legs
– they don't do much, unless you hit the legs enough with Spiral Swords for Cerberus to collapse.
- Shoot Summoned Swords to remove the ice on their heads, but unlike Dante's shotgun, it may take a
number of hits before the ice breaks off.
- If you continously attack the heads,
they will sometimes to shove you away
or snap at you. It may be tricky to predict
when they will do this but in Normal mode
they should not do it often.
- Once the ice is off, it's
time to charge at them head-on. Vergil's
Aerial Rave (Yamato) works
wonders and inflicts good damage. Continue abusing Aerial Rave
and if you hit them enough in one go, they
will eventually collapse and you will
be given some time to inflict more damage
with guarunteed safety. If you don't manage
to make them collapse, just continue attacking
with Aerial Rave until Cerberus shows
attack signals.
Reminder:
The best time to attack is when Cerberus
shake their heads.
- To dodge the Ice Breath move (breathes
out ice at the ground), run away from
the direction of the of the ice and
when it's about to get you, jump
and at the peak of your jump. Perform
Air Trick or Trick Up if
you are at LV2 Darkslayer. Another
way is to jump and at the peak and perform
Aerial Rave (2 hits).
Note: If
you have problems avoiding this attack,
you may want to get rid of the head that
does that move first. Red
eyes = Ice Breath, green
eyes = Ice Boulder, yellow
eyes = Icicle Falls.
- Jumping will dodge their Stomp-Ice-out-of-the-Ground
and Paw-Swiping attacks, and to avoid
the Icicle Falls attack, just keep running
away. Sometimes, you may need to do a
side roll near the end of your run.
- To avoid ice boulders they shoot at
you from their mouth, just run to one
side of the room and jump/roll away
when you see it coming. You can also slash
it in half at the right time but it's
not recommended.
- When they're about to lunge at you,
they'll go into a particular stance so
remember that stance. To avoid it, just
stay out of their direct front. (In fact,
just make it a habit to always
stay away from their direct front). You
may also need to side roll away when they
lunge for extra safety. Attack as they reel
themselves back to place.
Cerberus's tendency is to stomp ice out
of the ground with one leg first then
the other, and then lunge at you so always
be prepared to get away from their direct
front when you see them do that.
