Devil May Cry 1
Nelo Angelo, First Encounter (Mission 4)
Dante Must Die! Difficulty
No damage taken

This cheese method requires the Grenadegun and the Bangle of Time. It makes this section very easy.

If you look very closely at Nelo's healthbar, you'll notice 3 blocks(if you can call them that) on the left side and another 3 blocks on the right side.

At Phase 1, Nelo stays on the lowest of 3 floors. When he loses health from all the 3 rightmost blocks, you go into Phase 2.

At Phase 2, Nelo teleports to the middle of 3 floors and stays there for that phase. When his health goes down to reach the leftmost 3 blocks, you go into Phase 3.

At Phase 3, Nelo teleports to the highest of 3 platforms and stays there.

For Phase 1, you wanna go to that corner(0:25) and wait until Nelo comes close to the broken wall (if he's too far, he'll be shooting fireballs at you).

When Phase 2 is near, feel free to go up close to him and attack him as much as you can (I've since learned that a faster way to deal damage up close is to quickly alternate between Grenadegun and the Ifrit's 'Kick 13' move).
When Phase 3 is near, you SHOULD go up close to him, so that you can deal as much damage as you can now that he's still on the middle floor. He's a lot slower to damage when he's on floor 3.
