Death Ruins Black Bull
Do not bother using the homing attack it is too hard to get to and it is difficult to keep hitting him like that Instead defeat the two Black Arms soldiers and collect the guns from them Then head for the spring and use it Move forward a bit so you do not start grinding the rails Pass Black Bull in your jump and rapidly shoot a little before you level with its eye Repeat the strategy and if you fill your Hero gauge activate Chaos Control and finish him off This seems easier than to grind around him and shooting him every time around which wastes ammunition on a lot of missed shots
Defeating Devil Doom
Play as Super Shadow and hit him with the Chaos Spears First try to avoid the meteors that shoot lasers at you or destroy them if desired Charge your Chaos Spear with Square and blast Devil Doom in the eye Devil Dooms third eye will go to the other head Go to the other side and charge your Chaos Spear Blast him in the eye again Note Make sure to shoot the balloons to get rings if you are running low When you blast him in the eye immediately go to the other side and charge your blast When Devil Dooms third eye gets to the other side of the head blast him Go to the other side and blast him then go to the other side blast him and repeat
