[edit] Walkthrough
This mission is one of the easiest (or maybe even the easiest) and may be counted as tutorial one, as there are no hard fights (on easy modes - only Scarecrows) and Berial can't be called a very hard boss.
[edit] Opera House Plaza
As the mission begins, you'll be introduced with the mini map along with the appearance of some lesser demons (specifically the Scarecrow). Here is three of them - they are not mandatory (that means you may proceed to the next location at any time, but why miss almost free orbs?..) After the battle, broke all urns and benches here (4 and 6 of them, respectively) take that lying Red Orb next to the door and go to the next location.
[edit] Warehouse
Upon entering, you will be introduced with wall jump tutorial. After that break two barrels and collect Gold Orb, which is hidden in a niche in the wall by doing wall jump. Then go up the stairs, breaking all that is breakable until you enter the room where you will see the cutscene introducing Scarecrows (a "bit" late introduction though). After this epic battle, break what is left and go through the door to the next location.
[edit] Terrace / Business District
Nothing to say, just proceed to the next location.
[edit] Cathedral
Ignore Red Orb on the right (you will collect it later) and go downwards. Go towards the column, break chairs and take Evil Legacy which is floating in the column. After cutscene you will be given with Snatch, Hell Bound and tutorial about the last one. In cells on the left and right there are small green orb and Small Vital Star. Take them with your new ability. Then go to that strange platform you saw near column (it's called Continuum Pad), stand on it and use Hell Bound on appeared Grim Grip (press Lock-on + Buster). You will jump to second floor; there you should go to the next pad. Proceed towards the door, breaking all benches (total of four) on your way. And don't forget to Snatch/wall jump big Red Orb you leaved in the entrance.
[edit] Terrace / Business District
From first terrace jump to next, where you will be given tutorial about Secret Missions and even opportunity to participate in one such mission. After that, jump to next terrace and kill 2 Scarecrows (on Legendary Dark Knight 2 Mega ones). Jump last time, hear another lecture (this time about Snatch) and kill again. Then go through the door.
[edit] Residential District
Jump down from balcony and go forward. You will be introduced with Exceed system. After that you will meet some Scarecrows (on harder modes - Assaults), though these again are not mandatory to kill. There is also some things to be broken (fruits/bowls/barrels, red crystal; don't forget about garbage can behind arc) and collected (orbs on roof which lead to fragment of a Blue Orb). Have to mention 2 hidden caches of red orbs - one in tower, another on the roof of it. First can be reached by means of wall jump/Air Hike (and Roulette Spin if needed), second with lvl 3 exceeded High Roller with Air Hike; though it is possible to get both caches with only wall jump (but it's tricky). After all that go to next location.
[edit] Port Caerula
After tunnel turn to right and take big Red Orb with wall jump. Then go forward to Continuum Pad, move to next pier and go through the door.
[edit] Customs House
You will be introduced with "new" enemy - Scarecrow (leg). They don't much differ from other Scarecrows, except that they have more health and slightly different attacks. After fight go to blue puzzle and slash it several times. Then jump up and go to next "location".
[edit] Port Caerula (upper floor)
Investigate control panel. After cutscene go back to Customs House.
[edit] Customs House
Just go back to pier.
[edit] Port Caerula
Several Scarecrows will spawn although you may just ignore them and jump to another pier. Go to the bridge, which is now down, see tutorial about Taunt (although you can use it from the beginning) and kill (or don’t kill – again not obligatory) appeared Scarecrows. Go forward, break some garbage cans and proceed to next location.
[edit] First Mining Area
Go forward, then jump down in water and take these tasty big Red orbs. Then use Hell Bound to get to upper floor. There you will see big green orb, Nero’s combat adjudicator (requires Brutal to be broken) and Divinity Statue. Be prepared, as beyond next door you will face first real boss in this game – Berial.
[edit] Boss
Be careful of his sword attacks and fire attacks because they do a lot of damage. The best thing to do when it looks like he's going to attack is to dodge roll with good timing, or to use Snatch to pull yourself past him. Keep attacking his head or main body; it's not particularly advisable to attack his feet as he can easily stomp on you or slash at you. Keep attacking with the most combos you can think of and dodge until he loses his fire. Once he does go into DT (if you have it already) jump and use Buster on his face. Make sure it's directly infront of him. This Buster will do a lot more damage then Buster from ground. Once that move is done, Streak towards him to close the gap between you, do several slashes (or maybe even Maximum Bet) then use Buster again while he's on the floor. It'll knock him back and when he regains his fire by creating a large fire blast, you won't be caught in it. Keep attacking and dodging as usual; make sure to dodge his charge attack as that does considerable damage. When he loses his fire again, repeat strategy said above.
Then his health go low, he will start to attack more visciously. He will sometimes plant fire in the floor which will lauch out of the ground as pillars of fire at you. Just run in one direction but be careful: sometimes Berial will also charge at you at the same time.
[edit] Trivia
La Porte de l'Enfer is a monumental sculptural group work by French artist Auguste Rodin that depicts a scene from "The Inferno", the first section of The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri.
