Dante’s Inferno – Complete Walkthrough (Step by Step Guide)

Chasing Beatrice

In Chasing Beatrice , you start by finding Beatrice dead. When Dante touches it, it is taken away, and here you must face the enemies using your new weapon: the scythe. Advance along the path where the fire went out and save your progress at the Beatrice statue. Take the opportunity to recover your health in the green fountain before entering through the red gate. Run towards Beatrice and take the holy cross from her. When the flying demons appear, use the holy cross for ranged attacks. From now on, you can punish or absolve any enemy on the battlefield. Attention: parts of the floor will start to fall, so stay on the firm portion to avoid dying.

Quickly climb up the wooden cross and double jump to reach the platform ledge with the green fountain. Go down the pole, let go and defeat the enemies along the way. Turn right before a roller crushes you and jump to the platform below. A fire barrier will block your path and fire enemies will appear. Use the holy cross to attack them from a distance and then swing with the scythe to defeat them. Go around the gorge and save your progress.

Gates of Hell

In Gates of Hell , you must go down the pole and you will receive your first spell: Righteous Path. When your redemption bar is full (bottom left), you can activate it to become immortal and faster.

You will face two horned demons (demon guardians). Turn the lever and notice a crack shining in the wall: strike it to reveal a door.

Advance along the only available path and face two more demon guardians so that the fire barrier is dismantled. On the left side of the door you will find Pontius Pilate; decide whether to punish him or absolve him. Stick your scythe into the door to open it. Defeat some enemies and save your progress at the Beatrice statue.

Hang from the rope above your head and move to the right. After speaking to the stone monster, Charon, the rope will be cut. Cling to the wall, pass through when the fire stops and climb up. In the next room you will find a small puzzle. Your objective is to jump onto the platform above where there is a violet fountain, something that is not possible at first, even with a double jump:

1. Drag the box over the ramp to the right, push it all the way into the opening in the wall, and leave it there for now.
2. Rotate the lever in the center of the moving platform until it reaches the closest part of the screen.
3. Move the box onto the moving platform.
4. Turn the lever in the opposite direction until you reach the bottom of the screen.

Limbo

In Limbo , start by saving your progress. Then, go right to the end and go down the wall. On the way, you will encounter an enemy, an explosive minion. The strategy here is to grab it and throw it against the blocked door to open the way. Optionally, if you want to gain some extra souls, push the giant head. However, the main path is to turn right and stick the scythe in the door to move forward.

Soon after, you will face several smaller enemies. Use your scythe and acquired skills to defeat them quickly. Continue down the hallway and, if you want, you can stab your scythe into the door on the right to find Electra, where you will have the choice to punish or absolve her. After that, go back and continue your way down the main hallway.

As you advance, you will face more enemies. Defeat them to make the fire barrier fall apart. Again, stick the scythe in the door and prepare for the boss. During the fight, dodge the tentacles and attack the boss’s head as soon as it lowers. When he blows, stick to the wall to avoid getting hit. Stick the scythe in the boss’s hand and perform a powerful combo. Finally, drag the boss by the tongue to the torturer of sinners to defeat him. After the battle, jump over the chasm by hanging from the ceiling to continue.

Descent Into Lust

In Descent Into Lust , start by descending to the end of the rope, but don’t let go. Swing from side to side and jump to the right. Repeat this process a few times until you find a blocked path.

Continue down the pole and when you find Francesca da Polenta, decide whether to punish or absolve her.

Defeat some enemies that appear and go right. Turn the lever as far as you can and quickly destroy the stone serpent’s two fangs. Rotate the lever again until it opens completely. Jump over the snake’s tongue and reach the platform above. Go down the left ramp to save your progress at the Beatrice statue.

Carnal Tower

In Carnal Tower , watch the animation of Cleopatra climbing the tower. Next to the Beatrice statue there is a lever, but don’t pull it yet.

On the right, there is a second lever, but you have to be quick. Pull the lever and return to the raised platform before it goes up without you.

Cleopatra will appear again, sending enemies to confront you. Note that at a certain point she rests her hand on the platform. After defeating the enemies, she hits her hand. When she removes her hand, the platform will rise a little. Go to the far left, jump and pull the lever. Again, hit Cleopatra’s hand, go to the far right and pull the other lever. If done correctly, the left lever turns the serpent’s mouth toward Cleopatra while the right lever releases the flames.

When the platform stops rising, the path is to the left. Before that, you can go to the right, go down the post and decide whether to punish or absolve Paolo Malatesta.

Descent Into Gluttony

In Descent Into Gluttony , start by climbing down the pole until you reach the end, then jump to the ground. Here, you will face Cerberus, the guardian of Limbo.

Cerberus has a mechanic where you can remove one of the four stones from the ground, hoping that the flames hit the head during the attack. When you’re about to defeat the last head, Cerberus will try to swallow you, but just follow the sequence of keys on the screen to escape and defeat him once and for all.

Gluttony

After defeating Cerberus, advance to where he was guarding and start jumping on the platforms very carefully, as falling here means certain death. Use the green and violet fountains to recover health and magic, then go down the pole around the opening until you find the correct position to continue.

• Enter through the first portal.
• Hang and swing from the ropes until you reach solid ground.
• There are three holes releasing fire and a fourth hole with a rock blocking the fire outlet. Push the rock over each of the holes, grab the rope, swing back and forth, and jump to the platform above. Time is short, so there is no room for error.
