I really haven't looked over this boss fight too well mainly because Bael refuses to perform some of his moves at times.

He seems to only stick to certain ones. Hopefully Dante Must Die difficulty will make him add a little more variety to his attacks. :\

Agreed. I'm fairly surprised by the variety in the enemies' attacks so far, so hopefully something changes in the harder difficulties :)

There's been a lot of fire on the Gfaqs boards about the Blitz enemy; are you having a problem with it too? I know there are some formulaic ways to kick its butt quickly but I honestly wish I didn't have to DT just to beat it with Nero. At least with Trickster you can Air-Trick Shotgun him and handle his speed that way, but it just takes way too long with Nero (for Bloody Palace anyway).

I still think it's definitely a fun fight with one of the coolest looking enemies, though. My only beef is that it kinda looks like a Space Pirate commando from the Metroid games :/

It's hard to get the Blitz out of that electric phase with Nero. I always charge a level 3 blast then hit him when he appears.

You only get a chance to hit him when he appears to attack from what I have seen and it is sometimes hard to hit him in that small window of time. Once his electricity falls though, just DT and perform Busters then keep spamming him with Summoned Swords and continue to blast him at the end and he'll fall rather fast.

Him and Berial are my main problems in Bloody Palace. I can't stand how Berial does that explosion attack from so close - literally right up on him slashing away and he does it from nowhere. I've read that the Calibur can go through the explosion if timed correctly but I haven't had a chance to try it out yet.

The bosses must be on "Dante Must Die" difficulty on Bloody Palace mode.

when he does the explosion attack, jump back from him and he wont hit you, but make sure that when he does the explosion, your in the air back jumping, then he wont hit you
(worked for me on devil hunter mode, but had some problems with it on human mode, little bit strange, human should be easyr, but there he does less damage)
