Nidhogg is the hardest boss.

[MarkedMarkyMark]

On DMD he's just a pain in the behind, granted, your enemy in his fight is mostly the lock on, but still, the only boss I struggled, and also the least favourite boss honestly, it's just kinda boring, it's like the heart from DMC 3.

he's nothing compared to elder geryon, i defeated him in DMD when i had like 1 bar of HP left and both griffon and shadow were dead, so i was just trying to dodge and read the book so that i could summon nightmare. though i admit it was kinda fun

I had no issues with Geryon, since it was just one thing I had to lock on, it's pretty easy to dodge most of his stuff, tho' I struggled to go into offensive, I ended up relying in pot shots to build nightmare up. It'd be difficult to S rank the stage taking as much time as I did, but I still found everything else easier than Nidhogg.

Just to clarify, it is not really difficult to beat bosses with V, it is just annoying.

Once Bloody Palace is released, I will finally be able to fight those bosses with Nero and Dante (without trainers), so bye bye V.

You know what's the problem?
When you sidestep, Panther still goes straight to enemy like mad, sometimes likes to teleport right next to him. Griffon on the other hand is smarter and actually stays. What annoys me the most is that when you really need the panther to attack outside of boss fight, he most of the time likes to stand next to you instead of going for enemy, especially when it would help you to finish other enemy in peace.
Maybe the game just hates me

Yeah but I just keep sidestepping to keep him near V, it's the sorta of thing that if he disappeared people would complain that he keeps disappearing too, and honestly if you had a call back move it'd sorta fix it but at the same time, it'd make everything easier, so maybe a DT callback to at least add resource to it.

I didn't find any of the Vs bosses out of Nidhogg annoying, maybe Artemis, but everything else worked well and didn't take that long outside of geryon which granted I was still learning the best way to deal with it, the White Cavaleire was super easy compared to it, since Shadow has so many continues attack that just parries everything. It's complicated cause, it relies on the person to learn the mechanics in a good way, I hear people complain that Nero is boring since he dosent do damage, buuuut if you learn to Rev good he dish out a lot of damage.

I personally hate playing as dante since my hands ♥♥♥♥♥♥ and tekken fingers are no more for this old man's hand. He has a lot of depth i can't possibly reach cause of that.

Guys, if you're having trouble keeping the familiars alive, then you need to practice using double jump and side step (lock on + jump) to call them back to you.

Another good tip is that using devil trigger instantly revives both familiars.

Don't forget that you can super power a single familiar as well, which is an easy way to just control one familiar if you're having trouble controlling the two simultaneously.

Other than that, using different control layouts can make using them much easier since charging the X+Y (or Square and Triangle) buttons on default controls a little easier. Maybe using L+R Bumpers or L1 and R1 for attacks? I haven't experimented much

Exactly - you wish summons would be stronger to last a little longer, but most of the time, they die in one hit. But I don't know, dude with the horse was also the pain, mostly because stupid panther doesn't like to listen and dodge, so he's first to die to his easy to avoid lightning attack. He is overall pretty easy, easier than Nidhogg, but the time it takes to beat him...
With how much health enemies have in DT on DMD, V feels at times tedious to play as.
But I love how AI can't even handle mission 7 and V just fanishes not even half-way through it. Knights are grindy.

What are you talking about? Sidestep to shadow dodge, back step to griffon dodge, V's actually the most powerful character in the game cause I guess they wanted to make up for the increase in complexity, but he steamrolls every enemy.

Nidhogg is a pain cause it's the only place where V can't move properly, but overall he's pretty versatile. His summons die but revive fast, especially if you double tap that Nightmare. He's pretty complex and fun to play as honestly, and since he's just, extra powerful I can see it being easy to beat BP when it comes out, the fun of playing as him is to find ways to be an agressive stand user instead of a passive one, at first I was too afraid and stayed far from the fight but learning the dodges and sticking to enemies back is really the way to go, it's weird, but i enjoy him. Not nidhogg, cause, granted, its an issue with every character, the lock on is ♥♥♥♥ and also apparently dosent work when jumping, I cannot change my lock with a button press midair i have to release and pray it'll actually lock on to the other thing i want, maybe its a bug on my side, but can only PRESS change lock when both feet are on the ground, it weird.

Actually found a very good strategy for Nidhogg, now he's a walk in the park too... Just lock on into him and go all out with Nightmare, shadow and griffon doing his charge thunder nevan thingy, the tentacles will die by AOE, finish them off and deactivate Nightmare, Nidhogg will be stunned, while he's stunned just hit him with Shadow and Griffon while reading your book, rinse and repeat.
