  Mission 2 - The Blood Link  
Depending on how well you obliterated the enemies in the first mission you may have enough Red Orbs to upgrade your character. I recommend getting the Stinger attack, it's under the action category. Not only is it a very helpful lunge attack you can use by attacking in the direction you're facing, but it's also probably the only thing you can afford at this point.

Now this is yet another mission where you simply have to defeat all the enemies in a single area. The first thing you should do is pick up the 'Vital Star S' which is the shining object on the ground beside the steps where you start. Now use a combination of your new Stinger attack and all other moves in your arsenal to take down these enemies. After you've defeated a certain amount, a new type of enemy will appear. This enemy carries a huge disgusting blob on its back, stand far away and defeat it using your Handguns because it explodes when it dies. Now another one appears with a whole pile of other enemies, blast it from a distance to wipe out numerous enemies at once and then clean up the remainders, this triggers the appearance of the boss.

The boss is quite difficult until you get the hang of it, but there's a fairly simple trick to beating it without even being hit. The trick is using the dodge button obviously, but it's also in learning his three types of teleports. We'll go from least to most dangerous. The least dangerous is when he teleports right beside you, he appears and spins his giant scythe but the range on this spin attack is almost nothing, using the analog stick and running will easily dodge it. In the middle is the teleport where he appears in the ground and it ripples, he will pop out spinning his scythe with an attack of greater range, in this case use the dodge button and dash away from the ripple. The most dangerous one is when he teleports a few metres away from you, this means he is going to do a fast slash attack in your direction. Do not try to dodge the instant you see his target icon appear, you must wait until he himself actually appears and then dodge either left or right immediately, if you dodge too early he will attack in the direction of wherever you stop. To defeat this enemy the safest way is to just use handguns from a distance, it isn't quick but if you're good at dodging the attacks you won't even be hit. In fact it's also fairly safe to use Stinger for a good amount of damage right as he is teleporting away. Obviously the more dangerous method is to go in close with your sword, while faster this method will likely get you killed. Do it at your own risk.
