Damned for their Violence alongside their fallen comrades, these damned warriors forever roamed the Abominable Sands. With their rusted and broken, though still effective, swords and shields, they now assailed Dante with hellish force. They are often seen in the presence of the Damned Crusaders whom they led. Though slightly weaker than the Damned Crusaders, the Damned Captains had a special power that could make them a challenge to fight. They could engulf their shields in flames which would make them immune to all of Dante's scythe attacks. Along with their Crusader brethren, the Damned Captains are led by Francesco, Dante's former brother-in-arms.
Strategy[]
As soon as you saw a Damned Captain engulfing his shield in flames, the player should extinguish the flames by firing a barrage of holy projectiles at him with the Cross. So long as their shields are not on fire, the player could defeat them with the same tactics that you would otherwise work on the Damned Crusaders that often accompanied them.
