I actually think that not fighting him again was a smart move, it makes him a more precious and memorable boss fight (on top of it already being better than the other repeated bosses)
I think Credo and the other Angelos from DMC4 are some of the most cleverly designed enemies in all of video games. They look superficially like angels, but upon closer inspection you can see they have demonic faces and disguised cloven feet, their feathers are fake, and the halos are just deformed horns.
Every original DMC game has at least one demon with an angelic appearance: Mundus's statue form in the first game, Lucia's devil trigger in the second (sorta), the Fallen enemies in the third and of course the Angelos in four.
Credo applies the best for this and the beauty of that is, it's because his outward look mirrors his belief of becoming an angel, or being a force of good. Then, you got Agnus and Sanctus, the latter of whom cares none for that and both have no qualms about their appearance, but of the two, I do like Agnus's appearance. Scientist angel bug. He's a great foil, he's just underdeveloped like most of the cast and the only hints of what he could've been, were with Dante's play of Hamlet.
"I couldn't protect Credo. To this day, I hate myself have no enough strength" It's brilliant how DMC5 taken Credo as a pivotal point for Nero's Character development and this comes as a shock for most players cus it came out of nowhere and He lost the only person who's closest to an actual family to him and he's not willing to lose two more.I mean,granted Dante and Vergil won't die anyway but this is Nero we're talking about it. I appreciate Capcom for making Credo relevant in DMC5 rather than turning him into some disposable filler character.
It's rather telling that Credo does look legitimately angelic despite what is very obviously demon energy pumped into his body. It makes for a contrast to Sanctus (blood red eyes, horns growing out of his back) and Agnus (classic demon horns on his head, constant hunching forward). This likely reflects how he's the only senior member of the Order who isn't a world-conquering megalomaniac, genuinely believes his church is still benevolent, and is only fighting Nero because the latter was framed. He's no goody-two-shoes, he has MASSIVE hangups about Nero even before the frame-up, but even then it's rather telling that he threatens Nero with arrest rather than death
He was the perfect foil to Nero, like Dante and Virgil, which is most definitely what the creators were going for. Credo and Nero even have a brother-like relationship having grown up in the same orphanage together. And like Dante and Virgil, they put family above anything else.
And the only way Credo can arrest him is by beating his ass, cause we all know Nero is tough to put down He seems very straightforward when it comes to his family
I really think a player character with an arc like Credo’s could be extremely cool. A human holy warrior transfigured by demonic science into a being that can better defend their flock from the darkness. If the world truly has no angels to match the devils that plague it, man will make their own.
I love how Credo's design makes him look like a fake angel. He looks angelic from a distance, but also has lizard characteristics. His 'halo' is demon horns that have been twisted into a broken circle. I think it's rather clever!
Hard to believe Credo would haunt Nero's mind for years till DMC5. Then again, we didn't know him our late-childhood to entire-teenhood like Nero did. Oh well.
@Black as a matter of fact credo was nero's foster brother so it must have been like how dante fell when vergil "died" (very heavy emphasis on quotations)

A cool detail too with Credo is how over the course of the fight his mannerisms change. At first he’s proper and appears in control and has an air of authority. Then a bit into the fight he gets a bit more annoyed with Nero, and his animations are a bit less composed. By about 1/4th of his health left (maybe a bit more on DMD) he’s completely disheveled, his walk has gone from this high and mighty ‘I’m your captain’ style to just kind of angrily pulling himself towards you, his shoulders are constantly fidgeting, he holds his sword and shield down more, and even his voice lines are clearly more tired and pissed off. It’s a great bit of extra characterization.
I loved it too so much, it reminded me of Vergil in dmc3 in the final battle when he was getting more pissed, turning in devil trigger, descending his madness upon Dante by spamming judgement cut everywhere on the map screaming for his Death ("YOU'RE GOING DOWN, BLAST, BEGONE") 😂😂
Credo had such a cool design, I was wishing he'd be a playable character when I saw him; I mean, Imagine going from parry, to sword combo, to a massive air combo, to a grab, then a shield bash... So much potential and plot relevance. Good thing Dante didn't disappoint him.
What I love about this boss theme is that, in my personal opinion, it perfectly represents how Nero feels fighting Credo. Unlike most other themes in the game, both boss and normal fights, this one isn't as fast paced or high octane. It's slower and sometimes creeping with how the music builds to those faster pace moments. Another thing is that for many parts of the song the guitar is either less pronounced or outright missing, showing how Nero is conflicted about fighting against the man he looked up to for so long. And when the guitar takes center stage its almost as if Nero is having to remind himself that he HAS to fight Credo no matter what his personal feelings may be.
The music also sounds like its fighting itself in a way and which one is holding the dominate position. i like to imagine that the synth angelic sounds are credo while the metal sounds is nero.
Credo, Nelo Angelo, Vergil, and Dante are all excellent bosses because you're not fighting another big monster, you're essentially fighting another player that can do all the same stuff you can.
Not just another player, but your family. Whether it be a brother in blood, in adoption, or your old man, the toughest fights are always the ones you share a bond with.
@@khembunya9845 2nd battle on Vergil can literally be won by doing boss Vergil's exact moves but with a delay I'm glad that they didn't follow the usual "boss as a playable character" trope
@@ДмитрийОсипов-м9д you can 100%\closely enough replicate most of Vergil's moveset in every fight, but he has very limited ones in 1-2 so it's not that fun. This is why I really enjoy VsV in mission 20, also due to it being an actual challenge. So enjoyable to boot it once in a while on Very Hard (DMD is not fair and not very fun, I like to dramatically trade blows and, well, actually win while playing suboptimally). I really like to replicate his force edge+upper slash+up teleport+helm breaker+stinger combo in mission 20, and what is even more cool is that this is exactly enough damage to get him into "flinch-autoparry" state. And in overall being creative with your combos to get exactly enough damage for that autoparry state, but in style and not just jump cancel spam. Also not running and jumping, just like true Vergil. The only things you can't replicate in any form are his parry system and judgment cut end. What a shame not a single DMC game gave him the parry...
TyronMakeka An angel? Just the opposite actually! Anyone else notice how everything Vergil says is epic, I wonder if his parents noticed that as a child, Vegetables... foolishness!
This theme song has a little bit of church-like and futuristic-like melody but nevertheless, the musical creators of this song have done an outstanding job!
This guy was the closest thing to a Vergil fight that DMC4 has. He only walks or teleports, has summoned swords, uses very fast and carefully aimed strikes, etc... I bet they wanted to have him face off with Nero multiple times but ran out of time to design it. His AI feels kind of weak as a result, he only gets tough when he health gets down to the last 20%.
why do we have to face the rest of the bosses like 3 times when we just have to fight Credo once? that kinda sucks due that he is the best boss fight in the game and that this theme is catchy
ha ha yeah! especially Credo! i fought against him so many times with Nero, then i would die on purpose to fight Credo again. and it all happened on DMD difficulty xD good times though! still have it on my ps3 and PC :D (cause im a huge fan of dante and nero :D )
+CGB Dumping Ground It's because Credo is basically Vergil ultralite with slower attacks and a shield, fighting him with Vergil is literally a final boss teaching a mid game boss how it's done.

This song feels like such a perfect mix of Nero's punk/rock energy and Credo's holy/angelic energy. It feels like a back in forth in the song which is the best duel tracks to me. Combining aspects of both characters in an interesting way.
I always thought of this as a look back to Nelo Angelo's boss fights (primarily the 3rd one) in the original DMC Capcom really took what made Nelo Angelo so Integral to the character of Dante and ported it so damn well into Nero's storyline. Capcom is really consistent when it comes to "Battle your loved ones" in their games.

I always loved how he was frustrated during the entire fight. Meanwhile I’m having the time of my life in the only good humanoid boss-fight besides Dante.
You are the first literate person I've seen besides myself to say this. Thank you, for fuck sake. Just...Glad to know there are more people out there that have this idea such as I do.
I love this boss! You couldn't use the standard "grapple-and-tank" tactics that you used on the other bosses, you actually had to watch for the tiny clues as to his patterns (and oh were they tiny!) and dodge accordingly!
credo was such an amazing character, fighting him in bloody palace as dante is AWESOME!!! I love how his sword leaves giant slash marks across the ground, too bad more bosses aren't like him.
Sephiroth decimates, the only characters that have feats to actually fight against him are The Despair Embodied/Argosax, Mundus, either Sparda twin with Sparda(Sword) or dmc2 Dante who was hinted to have surpassed his father Mundus has shown feats that could be taken either as creating pocket dimensions or an entire universe(Pocket dimensions being more likely) in which he has created starts which puts him around the level of Sephiroth after his defeat as Safer Sephiroth, Argosax was so strong that Sparda needed help from the Matier clan to seal him, the last 3 are self explanatory
Like my name says, I´m a big fan of dead rising, this was my first DMC game, when I listen to Credo closely in this fight, I realized that is the same Voice Actor of Frank West, TJ Rotolo! Since that moment reality punched me in the face DMC is fucking awesome and I was being an idiot for not playing them before. Now I´m a fan of DMC.
Dante was too aggressive, sure he retreated to taunt you and acted like another player, but he never really gave you any room to combo. But Credo. He had super armour and his attacks were easy to dodge, plus he guarded as well, making the whole thing drag out more *plus* he actually clashes with you a lot more, nothing felt bland fighting him! In fact when I fought him, we'd always ended up walking in circles while he delivered some dialogue. I wish we had the ability to replay boss fights without going through the levels again.
Notice how he is the only "angel" who dies peacefully, transforming into dusts of light because he did not believe in domination but rather for the great of all humanity and his sister. As far as im concerned he is a real angel and would likely end up in heaven with Sparda, not like his other "angel allies" who died a terrible death and ends up in hell.
Berial and Echidna, too. Agnus TECHNICALLY four times too, but one is just you throwing Gladius Demons at a glass so it doesn't really count as the true Agnus fights. Then there's Dante and Sanctus, who you fight twice. Credo and the Savior are the only bosses you fight once.
The ascension ceremony doesn't make them a true demon, and the demon probably just resides in their body. In which case, the demon is the only thing that remains of Credo. If they ever do add real angels, maybe Credo could show up again as a playable character. Or as a boss, you never know.
Credo was always one of my favorite boss battles. He is not to hard but he is not easy either. He has the perfect dificulty level. Dante is still my favorite boss in DMC 4 but you all get my point. To be honest Vergil is the best.
I like how the Angelo enemies have a sort of DMC1 vibe with their music, Hell Bianco Angelo’s theme even has a remix of Ultra Violet in it at one point.
You know, when it first came out back in 2008, I always thought it would have been cool to play as a character that possesses the enemies in DMC4 and using combos with them. It may be contrary to the style of DMC, but I like the more strategy aspect of moving from enemy to enemy since the enemies and bosses all seem to have cool moves and how hectic and fun it would be with DMC's type of combat. Remember how fun it was to play as Ganon in Ganon's fury in HW? Or playing as the Blue Mage in FF having all the monsters moves? How about taking direct control of your units in War for the Overworld? I want that for DMC!
Credo is such a memorable boss not only because he can match you and predict you, but you don't ever fight him again.
He is like the only boss in the game you don't fight again

He'll become Super Saiyan Angel Devil trigger 2,electric boogaloo
May you Rest In Peace Credo. I never hated you.
BEHOLD THE POWER OF AN ANGEL
FOOLISHNESS, MACHINE. FOOLISHNESS.
One of the best tracks in the game, because it reminds me of DMC1
Credo: “I have become an Angel”
Nero: “No Credo, you’re just another wartime photographer.”
His design it's so cool.
DMC Is back baby.
Fighting Credo was one of the most epic boss battles in DMC history...especially when you fight him as Dante in Bloody Palace!!
Just everything you did in the boss fight felt so good . From smashing his shield to tossing back his spears and grabing him!
I always thought of this as a look back to Nelo Angelo's boss fights (primarily the 3rd one) in the original DMC
Capcom really took what made Nelo Angelo so Integral to the character of Dante and ported it so damn well into Nero's storyline.
Capcom is really consistent when it comes to "Battle your loved ones" in their games.
"BEHOLD, THE POWER OF AN *ANGEL!*"
This man has literally my favorite character design in all of fiction
credo's fight was hands down THE best fight in this game. i don't think i've ever enjoyed a boss fight so much in my life.

Best boss in the series btw
Also I always thought his design was oddly attractive in a way LOL
Legitimately one of the best bosses in the franchise.
"Do NOT underestimate me!!"
"I won't suffer defeat!"
+Mega Pulsar Behold the power of an angel!
NO!!!! IM NOT FINIIIIIISHED!!!!
As intimidating as it sounds, i guess i'll pass.. 😂
I always loved how he was frustrated during the entire fight.
Meanwhile I’m having the time of my life in the only good humanoid boss-fight besides Dante.
1:22 was always my favorite section of the song and I'm not quite sure why... it's a nice little down time before the loop kicks back around.
You are the first literate person I've seen besides myself to say this.
Thank you, for fuck sake.
Just...Glad to know there are more people out there that have this idea such as I do.
When your girlfriend's older brother tells you he wants to talk to you seriously:
That's really gay dude
Your girlfriend's brother can transform into an Fallen Angel?!?
Easily the best boss fight of the game. So many cool little details to this fight.
I love the character designs of this game. They make angels look like demons! Freakin amazing.
By far, best boss theme of DMC 4
one of my favorite fights R.I.P Credo
Credo: Who are you?
Gabriel: I'm you but faster
One of my favourite boss fights in videogaming.
I wish Credo didn’t have to die
Should DMC 6 come out, and it has something to do with genuine angels, Credo needs to return as one working alongside Nero
He died tho...
@@onesnazzyboizero8034 That didn't stop Virgil
@@rozemorgaine1886 true 😆
He could it just not likely
I love this boss! You couldn't use the standard "grapple-and-tank" tactics that you used on the other bosses, you actually had to watch for the tiny clues as to his patterns (and oh were they tiny!) and dodge accordingly!
I love 1:21 Also, this part of the music seems to be were I usually get Credo hurt enough for a Buster move.
Easily the best fight in the game
Twon Games no dante is
The Act Man that's a fair argument.
@Gold Star Gaming you suck
@Gold Star Gaming if you find him annoying you probably died a lot and raged at him
credo was such an amazing character, fighting him in bloody palace as dante is AWESOME!!!
I love how his sword leaves giant slash marks across the ground, too bad more bosses aren't like him.
Sephiroth vs Credo. Battle of the One-Winged Angels
Haha
genesis & angeal too
Seems like a fair fight No pun intended Haru Yoshida
+Pablo Delgado Credo has two wings, he just uses one as a shield, like the badass that he is.
Sephiroth decimates, the only characters that have feats to actually fight against him are The Despair Embodied/Argosax, Mundus, either Sparda twin with Sparda(Sword) or dmc2 Dante who was hinted to have surpassed his father
Mundus has shown feats that could be taken either as creating pocket dimensions or an entire universe(Pocket dimensions being more likely) in which he has created starts which puts him around the level of Sephiroth after his defeat as Safer Sephiroth, Argosax was so strong that Sparda needed help from the Matier clan to seal him, the last 3 are self explanatory
Best track of DMC4 for me, this track is simply amazing in every way and you can feel the flow of the battle even without playing the game!
Ifrc. This song plays during the red alert quest if you have sword and shield equipped on Mhw. Which is a fun touch
I consider this boss battle a spiritual successor to the Vergil 1 battle, it's so similar and equally as badass.
Like my name says, I´m a big fan of dead rising, this was my first DMC game, when I listen to Credo closely in this fight, I realized that is the same Voice Actor of Frank West, TJ Rotolo!
Since that moment reality punched me in the face DMC is fucking awesome and I was being an idiot for not playing them before.
Now I´m a fan of DMC.
Mr Kazami. Holy shit, really? They need to bring Credo back and make him playable, dammit.
indeed!

my favorite boss battle AND theme of this game
Fun fact Credo has the same voice actor as Frank West and Dan Southworth did the mocap for him.
Small part of me was hoping for a Nero/Credo "Jackpot" scene. lol..
That would have been amazing
They can't have this. The "Jackpot" scene belongs to a son of Sparda
@@JongleurBt1 well Nero is the grandson of Sparda, think we can put in a few more moments with him
Credo's theme sounds somewhat calming but it still has that toughness to it while fighting your opponent . DAMN I really want to play this game man!
Credo is so goddamn cool, such an awesome villain/hero, even with good music. No wonder he's voiced by Vergil's VA :D
GabeCastro he is not a villain
He's voiced by Frank West's VA. not Vergil's
@thelombax2002 the guy from dead rising
@thelombax2002 dude let show you that
@thelombax2002 you should play some good games
It will be fun to fight this guy as Vergil..
Now I'm motivated!
+TheDeadManZone12349 Vergil: "An Angel? Foolishness Credo... foolishness."
- Original idea by *+TyronMakeka*.
+Zyxeal Elni Well... You can now!
"it will be fun fighting the a one-winged angel. if my son did it, i should be able to do it, too"
All the power of an angel.
My favourite boss fight in DMC4
Man I swear I kept wanting to go back to this fight cus of the epicness.
Happy 20th Year Anniversary !
Devil May Cry 🎂
Original Release: 10/16/2001
"Do not underestimate me ! I've covered wars,ya know !"
I have been chosen to take the next step in evolution! To become something FAR more than just simply human! I am an ANGEL!
Hard to believe that the same game that brought us this amazing boss also had the utter trash piles of Blitz and Chimeras
Do not
Remind me
Of Blitzes
And Chimeras (especially the Chimera Assaults)
Those bastards gave me so much PTSD
Dante was too aggressive, sure he retreated to taunt you and acted like another player, but he never really gave you any room to combo. But Credo. He had super armour and his attacks were easy to dodge, plus he guarded as well, making the whole thing drag out more *plus* he actually clashes with you a lot more, nothing felt bland fighting him! In fact when I fought him, we'd always ended up walking in circles while he delivered some dialogue. I wish we had the ability to replay boss fights without going through the levels again.
Notice how he is the only "angel" who dies peacefully, transforming into dusts of light because he did not believe in domination but rather for the great of all humanity and his sister.
As far as im concerned he is a real angel and would likely end up in heaven with Sparda, not like his other "angel allies" who died a terrible death and ends up in hell.
The best boss only has one fight but you gotta fight that damn frog 3 times!
Berial and Echidna, too. Agnus TECHNICALLY four times too, but one is just you throwing Gladius Demons at a glass so it doesn't really count as the true Agnus fights. Then there's Dante and Sanctus, who you fight twice. Credo and the Savior are the only bosses you fight once.
If you're unlucky in the dice room (or haven't figured out the trick to getting whatever number on it) you fight them an unlimited number of times.
Best battle music i've ever heard!
The ascension ceremony doesn't make them a true demon, and the demon probably just resides in their body. In which case, the demon is the only thing that remains of Credo. If they ever do add real angels, maybe Credo could show up again as a playable character. Or as a boss, you never know.
Fighting him on DMD is amazing
My favorite fight in DMC 4 ;-; I miss him.
i love this song
I only JUST found out that Credo is voiced by TJ Rotolo.
Now I always picture Frank West whenever Credo speaks.
Credo was always one of my favorite boss battles. He is not to hard but he is not easy either. He has the perfect dificulty level. Dante is still my favorite boss in DMC 4 but you all get my point. To be honest Vergil is the best.
I like how the Angelo enemies have a sort of DMC1 vibe with their music, Hell Bianco Angelo’s theme even has a remix of Ultra Violet in it at one point.
You know, when it first came out back in 2008, I always thought it would have been cool to play as a character that possesses the enemies in DMC4 and using combos with them. It may be contrary to the style of DMC, but I like the more strategy aspect of moving from enemy to enemy since the enemies and bosses all seem to have cool moves and how hectic and fun it would be with DMC's type of combat. Remember how fun it was to play as Ganon in Ganon's fury in HW? Or playing as the Blue Mage in FF having all the monsters moves? How about taking direct control of your units in War for the Overworld? I want that for DMC!
Hmm... makes me think of playing as Paxton Fettel from F.E.A.R. 3. Twould be very interesting in a DMC game.
Prophetic, in a way.
Arguebly one of the best Boss Battle in DMC4 especially if it's in DMD difficulty. 😎👍
@thelombax2002 agreed especially on DMD difficulty.
@ratchet2007no, you're absolutely wrong, it's the infested tanks in dmc2
