Complete walkthrough for Devil May Cry 5's Main Mission 5, including the challenging Secret Mission 04 and the Elder Geryon Knight boss fight.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Secret Mission 04: Objective is to kill all enemies without V getting hit. Recommended to have the Promotion ability to ride Nightmare for invincibility. If not, focus on killing the initial Hell Caina, then the two Hell Antenoras, and finally the Hell Cainas.
  2. 2
    After Secret Mission 04, return to the main mission. Head to the area with green orbs and jump down.
  3. 3
    Fight the Empusa Queen. Keep distance as V, and use dodges to recall Shadow or Griffon if they are grabbed. Use Devil Trigger to escape if grabbed. Focus on getting behind the Queen.
  4. 4
    After defeating the Queen, follow the path. Jump up pallets, turn around to find a Purple Orb Fragment in an alcove. Grab Red Orbs ahead, then destroy the blood clot to return to the sewers.
  5. 5
    Follow the tunnel to an open room. Wait for central enemies to spawn, then shoot the explosive tank to clear most of them.
  6. 6
    Another Empusa Queen will appear with Empusas and Green Empusas. Prioritize killing the Green Empusas first, then focus on the Queen.
  7. 7
    Follow the tunnels that open up after defeating the Queen. Navigate the maze-like tunnels, dealing with Empusas.
  8. 8
    Find the ramp leading back outside to a large area. This area has health/DT refills and a shop for upgrades.
  9. 9
    Proceed to the next section to initiate the boss fight.

BOSS - Elder Geryon Knight:

  1. The Elder Geryon Knight is a mobile boss on a horse. He charges, swipes, and fires electrified projectiles. Dodge sideways or backwards.
  2. At times, the Knight creates a time-slowing aura. He will appear to teleport and attack from behind within this aura. Exit the bubble to return to normal.
  3. Around 50% health, the Knight creates an electric field on the ground and can release lightning bolts after charging his weapon.
  4. Strategy: Keep Shadow and Griffon alive for dodging. Use quick side dodges to avoid charges. If you have Promotion, ride Nightmare for invincibility.
Tips
  • For Secret Mission 04, the Promotion ability is highly recommended for invincibility while riding Nightmare.
  • When fighting the Empusa Queen, staying behind her is a good strategy as her attacks are frontal.
  • When fighting the Elder Geryon Knight, keeping Shadow and Griffon alive is crucial for dodging and for the Pet Protection trophy/achievement.
  • The Geryon Knight's time-slowing aura can be escaped by simply moving out of the bubble.
  • Secret Mission 04: Blue Orb Fragment
  • Main Mission: Purple Orb Fragment
