Line #10 Fridge/DantesInferno


1	[[AC:FridgeBrilliance]]
2	* The Heretic and the Pagan look really similar, but the Heretic is immune to the cross. Why? The atoning death of the Messiah isn't where he erred.
3	* There seems to be a lot of areas in Fraud that lead to nowhere, as short as they may be. Makes sense that realm of liars has dead ends and textures that look important without actually doing anything.
4	* You visit the same areas in the Greed quite often. Could this be a metaphor for the cycle of earning/spending? Going through the first time, coming back with a new circumstance in effect and getting through it that time.
5	* Whenever a Beast Tamer manages to climb on an Asterian Beast's back and try to wrest control away from him, he actually steals Dante's scythe for a brief while. If the Tamer succeeds (aka Dante fails the quick-time event), the demon will throw Dante off the beast ''along with the scythe.'' At first, this seems like an incredibly stupid move on the demon's part: why would he essentially give one of Dante's primary weapons back to him instead of keeping it or getting rid of it permanently? [[spoiler: Until you realize that Lucifer needs Dante to break the Chains of Judecca for him as part of his BatmanGambit, chains that Dante can't break unless he's using the scythe. More than likely, Lucifer specifically ''ordered'' the Beast Tamers to give Dante a fighting chance and let him keep his weapons, as the end game of freedom from Hell is far more important to him than depriving Dante of one of his primary ways to defend himself.]]
6	* Beatrice's brother Francesco died because he was executed for Dante's atrocities. This seems like it would be a HeroicSacrifice, yet he is in Hell for it. Some people said that it was because he helped a murderer go free, and the bible specifically mentions obstructing justice as something God detests, whilst some people said that dying for a friend was deemed to be a good deed which showed great love according to the Holy Bible, Francesco was sent to Hell not becausing of helping Dante but because of committing many war crimes during the Third Crusade, that was why he was placed in the Circle of Violence, this also means that even if an evil man does good deeds during his live, refusing to repent for his serious sins will still probably result in horrible punishment.
7	* Say whatever you want about the them, whether you enjoyed their change of pace or not, but the various trials that Dante has to complete in Fraud in order to advance are all actually very logical choices for their respective levels:
8	** For the first trial, '''The Panderers and Seducers''', Dante must defeat all enemies with infinite Mana. This trial is the FIRST and ONLY time that Dante has the chance to use his Holy and Unholy spells repeatedly without limit! This trial is '''SEDUCTIVE''' and '''PANDERS''' to players who love to rain down powerful attacks and completely annihilate all enemies that stand in their way!
9	** For the second trial, '''The Flatterers''', Dante must attack all enemies in order to achieve a 100-hit combo; completing this trial is a very '''FLATTERING''' achievement for a player, as is shows just how skilled they’ve become over the course of the journey!
10	** For the third trial, '''The Simonists''', Dante must kill five enemies while they are airborne; simonists are individuals who use money or power to purchase or sell church offices and roles. Dante, in an ironic twist, is using his own skills and powers to defeat enemies who are, "higher up," in order to remove them from their own positions of influence.
11	** For the fourth trial, '''The Sorcerers''', Dante must simply stay airborne for eight seconds; sorcerers are known for calling upon otherworldly powers and defying the laws of nature, which reflects the challenge here, as flying/levitating on their own without aid is not a part of human nature, as it’s not how God created us.
12	** For the fifth trial, '''The Politicians''', Dante must protect two living humans from several waves of Exploding Minions. This trial is a reflection on the true nature of Politics, which is to govern a country or some other area which involves ensuring the well-being of the people that live in those places!
13	** For the sixth trial, '''The Hypocrites''', Dante starts off the trial defeating enemies without being able to use his Mana, only for a Beast Tamer riding atop an Asterian Beast to knock down the raised bridge RIGHT in the middle of the challenge and interrupt the battle. The trial is then cancelled and Dante is simply told to escape. This challenge is '''HYPOCRITICAL''' in what it wants Dante to do in order to pass!
14	** For the seventh trial, '''The Thieves''', Dante has to defeat all of the waves of enemies while his health continually drains; thieves are constantly on the move and competing with others for a chance to score valuables or money, all the while constantly making enemies and slowly ensuing their eventual downfalls.
15	** For the eighth challenge, '''The Evil Counselors''', Dante must kill every enemy without being able to block attacks. This parallels how we drop our guards around those whom we trust and know intimately when asking for advice or wisdom in decision-making.
16	** For the ninth trial, '''The Sowers of Discord''', Dante must defeat all enemies without allowing the Hit Counter to reset; Dante is placed in a stressful and '''CHAOTIC''' situation by having to battle enemies while simultaneously attempting to fulfill his own agenda without being allowed a break for even a SECOND!
17	** Finally, for the tenth and final trial, '''The Falsifiers''', Dante must simply defeat all enemies that comes his way using any means necessary; falsifiers are fakes, plain and simple, there’s nothing fancy or complex about their character nor their motives, therefore Dante is exempt from having to perform specific and detailed actions against them in order to succeed!
18	* In the Circle of Greed, we get introduced to a PaletteSwap of the Temptresses, the Seductresses, which makes sense if you think of them as once being greedy prostitutes who swindled money off of men using their sexual wiles.
19	[[AC:FridgeHorror]]
20	* At the end of the game, Lucifer's true form is revealed to have a massive penis, which gives off truly nasty and horrific thoughts on what he would have done to Beatrice had Dante didn't free her from his control.
