I have owned DMC 3 since it has come out and still I cannot get past the 3rd mission...on easy! I'm getting amped for DMC 4, but ZOMG I cannot get anywhere in this game! I love the gameplay, but I just cant get anywhere! I get to the Cerberus boss and almost end up killing it when I suddenly die. Yes I buy health powerups and such, but I just cannot do enough damage to win. *sigh* Idk what I can do. Help? :P

Just stay back and keep shooting, it'll take a bit but you won't get hit as much as you would getting up close. Use the Trickster style to dodge from the back.

Alright I'll try that this time around. I'm using the trickster style, as I hear its the best to use overall.

well the best Style for me is Sword Master try using Sword master . First shoot his 3 heads until the ice is out then aproach it and slash his head off , and if you slash his legs a lot he will get stuned for about 6 sec. try to memorize his movements and dodge his attacks and you will do just fine.

Although I agree with you and the guy that said that that's pathetic, I got through that on every difficulty the first time, every time. But not to show off, I was browsing on the DMC3 review on this site and found that there's cheats for it......OR, you can go with the Sword Master style and whoop that 3 headed mutt all the way to Hades' toilet......or whatever. I always roll with Sword Master because it's my favorite. The whole point is to not get slapped around as much. There's moments where you'll notice when you can beat that damn dog down to hell before he gets back to his self aware state and starts attacking. Don't worry, you're not pathetic, maybe DMC is just not your game. Also, DMC3 is harder than DMC3: Special Edition, in which I have every DMC game including both DMC3 and DMC3SE. Good luck, and keep trying, you'll get it sooner or later.

Replay the second mission a few times to get some more red orbs for life, or some more moves. I'm hoping at this point you have stinger lv1 at least.

The best way to get better is not to just barely squeeze by with the use of healing. Punish yourself and you'll get good. Don't use any potions, and if you think you're gonna win but it'll be a close match, let him kill you until you totally smack him up. I won't finish a boss off unless I've totally beat the hell out of it. it sounds crazy but it makes you really good reallllly fast.

Every attack a boss makes follows a distinct unique sound or movement. So try to connect those. Drill the sounds into your brain and memorize what attacks he will use after each sound, and your movements will click.

Also, try putting the game on turbo mode. Sounds crazy, but for some people (like me) the game actually got EASIER on turbo because my fingers would just go on their own and I would act without thinking.

I feel your pain dude. Cerberus made me quit the game once. I rerented it though and finally made it past him. I used the shoot his legs and stun him method and then hack away at his heads. Some bosses are easier after that and some are harder, but if your not having fun with it dont force it, its just not worth it. Personally I quit at stage 15/20. I was making good progress and probably could of beat the game but I just dont enjoy that level of difficulty, no matter what the newbs who say it is easy say.
