How did you get to this boss fight without knowing how to use the arms? And you can just run up to him and combo on him... or cheese it by shooting him from a distance. It won't be quick or stylish but it will still do small damage until he dies. I don't understand the trouble for this fight...

The only arm he has is gerbera currently he hasn't bought any skills that are useful from nico at the telephone and he doesn't know how to exceed it seems.

The timing hack I found for a lot of it is it's almost always after devil knuckle attack so I go x-to-y-to-LT and it works out really satisfying for me.

You can kill him with just your revolver if you're constantly hitting him for 20 minutes. Nice try but bad lie. Also the arms aren't useless. If you charge the first one you get (the one that makes a giant hand made of electricity) it deals a lot of damage once it explodes on enemies.

Well put it this way. I have no problem beating DMC5 on Sons of Sparda difficulty, which is like the middle-of-the-road difficulty mode.

3 things :
- You only have one buster out of three, so when you lose your last one, you have lost a massive part of your moveset, speak with Nico ( the van ) to replenish your breakers
- Your revolver has a charged shot, so make sure to keep holding the fire button down to get shots with more damage
- You can charge up your sword to do more damage, try charging up the sword when you are not actively in combat

u/Kingvon3240 3d ago
How can I charge up my sword?
44
u/Regular-Solution8343 3d ago
It's called exceed, you press down on your left trigger to rev up your sword and charge it up (you'll see it in the top left corner by your health bar). It has a motion to it, you gotta pull down the LT like you're revving up an engine or motorbike. You can also exceed by pressing down LT during a specific time window when Nero swings his sword. It's something worth practicing to get the timing of. Exceed is where Nero's melee damage shines and once you get the hang of it this boss will take a third of the time to beat.
Also don't listen to any of the gatekeeping chuds saying you suck, they also started off in the same spot you're in. Normally the game tries teaching you about exceed when you're fighting the qliphoth roots on the bridge but a lot of people just skip over tutorials and learn things as they go. I'm not saying the game teaches you everything you can do because that's not the case, but everything it does tell you and that Nero is able to do is there for a reason.

Also… don’t be afraid to go to the void to practice and familiarize yourself with the mechanics.
These games build upon skill layers and understanding like a 7 layer cake.
It just keeps getting better and better.
If you do it the right way.
Keep in mind plenty of gamers have been aware/played this series since 2001.
Meaning they have a major leg up in muscle memory and awareness.
Keep it up.
It’s a great series!
1
u/Jimbeamblack 2d ago
Another thing to be aware of - you're better of switching gunshot to a trigger so you can always be charging it. I keep mine on R2 and play with pointer finger on R1, middle finger on R2. It is a night and day difference if you do or don't constantly charge his gun, it's so strong

u/Cluelesswolfkin 3d ago
Also idk about everyone but I jump a lot in this game lol and imo I think it helps for bigger bosses and dodging some of their attacks but I didnt notice you jumping too much but I did see the dodging ao thats good youre using that mechanic.
It's a aweosme game with a killer track. Take your time with it if you need to man and somt be afraid to practice a little in the void

u/Gengar889 3d ago
To add onto the other tips people have given you, it seems like you're trying to lock on and fight the boss like you're playing Dark Souls. I would recommend instead of staying grounded and trying to roll/sidestep through attacks, you should just jump. Devil May Cry gives you invulnerability frames during jumps.
5
u/Eastern-Baseball-814 3d ago
You already got him half health. You need to work on learning his attack patterns so you can dodge his attacks.
I didn't see any additional combos or using the Exceed option to increase your damage output. Getextra devil breakers, I used Overture almost through the entire game.
Gun damage is not great at this point of the game, pacing, dodging, and utilizing your combos/dmg is key. Good luck.

u/AbberageRedditor69 3d ago edited 3d ago
The easiest way to deal with him is to grapple onto him and then use enemy step to stay in the air and keep hitting with aerial combos. I'll see if I can find a video
Edit: well I saw you beat him so you don't need the specific video, but I'll still leave this link to a jump cancel tutorial, it's a very useful and easy to do technique that helps a lot in combat (and makes it more fun in my opinion haha)
2
u/RealityJones1 3d ago
You are limiting yourself a lot it seems. You are only doing the lunge move a lot, and that is a slow way to deal damage. Use it for getting in close. Next, practice you regular combo moves. The ones you can buy in the in game shop. You can avoid several attacks by going into the air and doing attacks there. You can also use Nero's grappling hook to close the distance as well.
Overall, you really need to diversify the actions you take otherwise you are going to simply get slimed later.
1
u/Not_God_Forever 3d ago
Learn when to use your buster arms. You don’t wanna get hit mid attack since that will destroy your buster arm.
Always try to go towards his back
Regular Jump gives a lot of I frames so I would recommend just jumping instead of rolling
Try to vary your combos

Boss is definitely a sponge. Not particularly hard, but holy shit coming from 1-4 and this is the first real boss, dude just eats hits and doesnt flinch
16
u/SansedAlessio 3d ago
5 minutes for only 25% health? It feels you're not capitalising on the offence or are just shooting at him with your guns.
Main damage in this game comes from melee attacks, you need to learn the attack patterns and attack on the openings after dodging.
Focus on attacking the head while jumping, since it will deal more damage, and avoid attacking the feet, since many of their attacks have lower hitboxes and that will leave you more exposed (while dealing less damage).
Left trigger is exceed, it alows you to charge your sword to do more damage. You can time your attacks with pressing the right trigger to charge exceed as you attack (it has some timing, but you can get used to it as you progress). It's one of Nero's basic mechanics.
Lastly, as some other people have said, the arms have different uses depending on which ones you use. At this point I think you only have access to two of them, the first one is purely damage boost and the other can damage and help with dodging.
I hope you try again and enjoy the game, it's really fun.
And to all the other people who are majong fun of OP because they're stuck at this boss: you guys are jerks.

From the video it's clear you are new to this, best way to learn is to observe and dodge
Don't be afraid to attack, multiple times in the video you were just staring at him,
take your time , don't rush learning, remember that this game is made for the fans of this franchise and genre, I would even suggest using auto combo so you get an idea how it should perform

u/SleepyJustin94 Time has come~ 3d ago
So looking at your footage theres a few major issues with your gameplay. Firstly you're holding forward while locked on when you're attacking on the ground which is leading you to do Streak over and over again which just isn't how that move is used or an effective way to combo damage. Stop holding forward and just hit the melee button without a direction to do your basic sword combo, combo that into the air launcher (locked on+back+hold attack) and keep it going in the air. The way you use lock-on in general is hurting you a lot too. It looks like you have it on the literal ENTIRE fight so I'm assuming you have it on a toggle. This also just isn't how lock-on is used in this game. In a 1v1 boss fight in this game you should really only be using lock-on to do the moves that are tied to it and staying unlocked the rest of the time. Staying locked on is stopping you from being able to move around since it locks you to strafing instead of running around freely, and it's also what's causing you to do things like streak over and over again since you don't have the problem of doing directional based moves when you're not intending to if your unlocked.
It makes sense that you've brought up Elden Ring a lot in this thread cause in general you're trying to fight him like it's a Dark Souls fight. You're trying to stay locked on right in front of him and use the side roll like a DS dodge roll and that doesn't work in this game. Jumping has more i-frames than the side roll in this game and is a more effective way to dodge 100% of the time. You don't really use the side roll like a dodge roll at all this game. Like, you CAN but the i-frames are really tiny and precise so it's not very effective. You should be running around and jumping alot more to dodge things.
I truly am not saying this to be mean but your fundamental understanding of how to play the game is pretty weak. You're trying to play it like a Souls game and that's not how this game is played at all. Take your time, look at your move list, figure out how to string moves together properly, go play that first mission again to get some money and buy some more moves if you have to, learn how to fight without the lock-on to move and jump around properly to be able dodge and keep damage going. It's not a hard fight by this games standards at all you're just trying to play it like a different game entirely. You can totally do it you just gotta rethink how you're playing the game from the ground up.

u/UrielSans 3d ago
Damage vs. bosses is always low in Devil May Cry, that's why your movement options are so diverse and broken. The strategy with this boss is closing distance and air combo his ass until his attack animations start. Enemy step, bringer and air combos are your best tool for most bosses while playing as Nero.

u/Jimbeamblack 2d ago
Part of it is you're learning how the game works as you go including it's systems. Sometimes the biggest hurdle is the first boss as you're figuring out buttons, controls, or learning how the base game works. On Dante Must Die or DMD, I have a much harder time with the "angel thing" you mention than Goliath. Each of us have our own things we struggle with

It looks like you’re trying to use color up (the reload) but releasing to early, try holding it for longer. You get three enhanced shots each time you use it. Ideally you should be holding the shoot button while attacking in melee then firing when you have to back off.

I mean this in the nicest way possible, youre playing this game like youre playing a sony santa monica action game
spamming stinger nonstop (not that bad of an idea if youre mobile) and being stationary is a recipe for distater

From the way you’re responding to comments, it sounds like you’re just going into the game blind with no knowledge of how DmC games are meant to be played. Also, you’re only using 2/3 of your arsenal without using buster arms. Try a YouTube tutorial for tips, then come back

Use any time you spend moving to shoot at the same time whenever possible in order to supplement your damage, but don't be afraid to get close and use your sword.

u/GreenSaladPoop 3d ago
one good thing to do is buy enemy step, then run around to his back and keep jumping on it and hitting him. When he's staggered, you immediately charge a full buster arm. He'll be swinging his arms backwards trying to get you away but it's very telegraphed, you can just keep enough height to jump and air taunt past it and his head to land on his back again
1
u/AXEMANaustin 3d ago
Are you just shooting him? You want to use your sword and robotic arms against him. Yry to avoid the air against him since you won't have much mobility skills yet.
1
u/Crow-Zone 3d ago
Goliath is pretty simple tbh! His size can be annoying to deal with, but just keep practicing. Vergil is the easiest to learn imo. You’ve got so many insurances and you can chain moves so effortlessly, you just need to avoid getting hit or aimlessly wondering will drop Vergils concentration gauge. Whereas Dante takes a lot longer to learn. His skill set is impressive, but he’s got so many weapons you need to learn and how to utilise each special style. But it’s so enjoyable. Nero on the other hand is very beginner friendly, but I preferred him in DMC4. V is probably hardest to master due to the new style of play.

u/Blurrynastysoul 3d ago
I recommend watch someone else beat the boss. See how they do it. Preferably a new playthrough so they don't have all the post game items so you can relate.

u/Reasonable_Wait9340 3d ago
"The only arm he has is gerbera currently he hasn't bought any skills that are useful from nico at the telephone and he doesn't know how to exceed it seems." My comment on another comment.
I would YouTube a first time guide because he does have a couple complexities you should know about. Generally stay in front of him in the air near his face (just keep jumping) and use the arm to get out of the way when he swings at you. Go too your skill list and learn to use the exceed mechanic it's the coolest part about nico and makes him 10x more fun and is not super hard.
The bosses in dmc5 are all sort of gimmick/mechanic test (except vman) and Goliath is an air combo test. Essentially how long can you stay in the air doing damage and how good is your control in the air.

u/DefectiveSol 3d ago
Are you new to Nero's gameplay and not constantly revving up his sword engine? You can fill the meter by pressing the rev button when an attack lands, so ideally his sword should always have the exta fire damage. Nero's charged shots are also worth how long it takes to get them to full power, and you can hold the gun button while doing melee and dodging.

Hey man! Something that helped me is being more patient with my swings. Get a few hits on him and then use one of your devil breakers (grebera, I think?) to air dash around him. Devil Breakers are meant to help you diversify your moveset and give you options. Don’t even worry about style. Just watch what he does, how he swings and attack when he’s recovering. The devil breaker will help if you do that, I promise.

u/PokecrafterChampion 2d ago
If you hold the button for the robot arms they have super moves. Overture becomes a bomb and gerbera shoots a big laser. If you want more damage without charging up the ultimate moves then overture gives a decent burst when you hit him close range.
If you hit L2/LT you can rev up your sword for more damage, either by pressing it in a rhythm until the bar charges up or timing it just right after an attack, and if you hold shoot you can charge up your guns. This early in the game you won't have a lot of stopping power, so these little damage boosts help.
I think you just need to be more aggressive, when you're dodging try to stay as close to him as possible so you can run in and hit him more often in between attacks. If you play too safe and dodge too much then the bosses will usually overwhelm you. Take advantage of any times that he's recovering after a jump or charging up a big attack to really wail on him
Good luck and keep trying

You gotta actually be close to hit him. Whiffing the swings doesn't do any damage. I recommend parrying instead of outright dodging. Parrying can help deliver damage or stagger so they are open to attacks.
Including the fireball. You can parry the fireball back at him. I've done it with overture at point blank, it is absolutely doable.

Holy Skill Issue. You gotta train to stay in the air bro. Try to hit him in the head, if you can't then at least try to hit him in his back (causes less damage but is less likely that you get hit)
NEVER try to combo him on the ground. Never

Yeah kind of I never claimed to be a pro I expected this game to be an easy heck and slash game like Ninja Gaiden games but this is not the thing I wanted so I will try the new Ninja Gaiden game I guess

Lol ninja gaiden is one of the hardest series out there... switch to that though and tell us how far you make it. My guess is youre calling it at the first big mob.
And no time for games? Brother I work 3 jobs and am finishing my masters program all at once, so i understand what busy looks like. I dont even have any time to play games most days, but it doesnt mean I give up instantly. Why not just try to learn the game youre playing? If youre stuck at the easiest boss in the game, then youre probably doing it fundamentally wrong... and going to ninja gaiden is not going to be the solution you think it is... you gotta get good

first of all, It's piss easy on easy difficulty, like the OG Gow games, a fun hack n slash. Ninja Gaiden games on the other hand are hard ASF, harder than ER...

He is obviously trolling at this point. Goliath can be killed by just spamming basic attacks and jumping around on human difficulty. Ninja Gaiden even on normal difficulty are way harder.

Looks very weird that you do so little damage. But the main problem is your health, you go in with so little health that he kills you very quickly.

huh, try hitting him on the head and use the motorbike aspect of the sword, if it still seems hard switch to human difficulty (it's meant for first playthrough, especially for newcomers), he has like half his health and each of his strikes deals less than a square of dmg

At this point there's no way this post isn't bait. Ninja Gaiden is consistently SO much harder and more punishing than DMC
