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.
