Prologue

The Prologue is the first mission in Devil May Cry 5, and part of the DMC5 Walkthrough. During this mission, you play as Nero, following V in the underworld. You'll find Dante fighting Urizen, the Demon King.

May 16 - 8:06pm

First, follow V up the path. Press A/X and A/X again to climb the wall. Over the ledge, you'll encounter your first enemy - an insectoid Empusa. A wall will appear, blocking Nero's way. When this happen, all enemies in the area must be defeated before you'll be able to progress.

Defeat the Empusa using Y/Triangle to attack it with Melee Attacks and X/Square with Gun Attacks. You can lock-on to the enemy with RB/RT. Once it's dispatched, the wall will dissipate, allowing Nero to continue.

Defeating enemies will earn you Red Orbs. These orbs are magical red stones of crystalized demon blood, and are used to exchange for new weapons and skills. You will also need these to continue a fight if you die. Basically, these are an incredibly important resource. Be on the look out for these and Red Orb Caches.

Not far ahead, more enemies appear, and another wall will block Nero's way. If the Tutorial is on, you will learn additional moves. Hold RB/RT to lock onto an enemy. Then, holding back with the left stick, press Y/Triangle to knock an enemy into the air. Hold Y/Triangle to jump into the air with the enemy so you can continue a combo.

After defeating these enemies, follow the path ahead. More will impede your way. Upon reaching the top of the incline, jump down and make a left toward Dante. We didn't find anything elsewhere.

A short cutscene will play, and Nero will be put up into a fight versus Urizen. This is an incredibly difficult fight, especially with the limited abilities currently at your disposal.

Luckily, you're destined to lose here, so don't worry too much about surviving. However, you can technically beat Urizen here. If you do, well - we won't spoil anything!

After losing, Dante saves Nero and V with a last-minute gunshot, and morphs into his Devil Trigger form to buy you time to escape.

Devil Trigger (D.T.) is a form you will be able to embrace as Dante, Nero, and V. It's a sort of ultimate form that allows demons or half-demons to release their full power for a limited amount of time.

Nero and V escape the underworld, but the demonic tree erupts in activity behind them, skewering the public that gathered there. Note: If an evil tower erupts in the middle of a city, run away, maybe.

They assume Dante lost, and leave. That' the end of Devil May Cry's Prologue. Next is Mission 01 - Nero.
