Ghost Rider: The Video Game/Lesser Demons



The wiki for the game is available here.

Overview
This article describes all lesser demons of the game and the most effective strategy to beating them. This page will refer to a lot of attack names, to familiarise go here.

Lesser Demons
Blood Demons :-

Background  = They are the weakest of all enemies in the game, and they appear on every level.

Strategy = They attack with a slow and predictable scratch. beat two of them at once using fist dive. The ones that are able to spit blood bombs will be highlighted in red, so as with all projectile shooting enemies , take them out first. A fireball can take out many at once directly from a distance.

Bloodgoyles :-

Background = Red flying vermon with the power to do fiery dive bombs

Strategy = take them all out at once using hell punch. don't try to fight them in the air, that's a big mistake.

Hell Giant :-

Background = These are red demonic giants. Johnny first encounters them when he tries to exit the demon world and find Mephisto. They appear on important doorways at the last moment.

Strategy = Jump all around them and use fire cutter or hyper spin, if you fight them in close combat you'll get clobbered. If you have red gauge, shoot them with shotgun a few times first.

Earth Sub-Boss :-

Background = Giant rocky monsters. Johnny needed the earth soul to pursue Lilith, so he headed to an abandoned mine infested by demons to find this monster. First appearance/Boss Appearance at the end of the mission (The mine's dark heart), During the earth phase of the game. This monster naturally rests in quartz fields.

Strategy = they have a very powerful quake move so always keep them in a perfect view, dodging this attack is not enough , you'll have to stay in the air for a few seconds , stall with shotgun or fire cutter, to defeat them use the same strategy as hell giants , they are less likely to attack with melee then hell giants.



Lilith's Demons :-

Background = Humanoid demons with swords for arms. Lilith calls them her "children"

Strategy = This is where it gets tricky, usually they surround you five at a time , so it's a good idea to use link charge if you have it , if not make sure all of them are in view , otherwise one might surprise you with their spinning sword attack , since they are not very fast and attack seldomly , your best option is hell punch to take out the whole lot of them.



Water Sub-boss :-

Background = A scientificilly engineered shark monster, Destroying the facility it proginated from. Johnny needed the water soul to pursue Blackout so he headed to a government bio engineering facility to find one. Found during the wtarer phase of the game. Presumably naturally lives in the facility's tanks.

Strategy = They can teleport and they have a powerful energy beam, the good thing is they don't use melee , and you can relax when they teleport too because they won't do anything for a few seconds afterwards , always keep them in your sight an anticipate their energy attack , if you see it coming just stay the hell away from them. Then you can defeat them using some slow and hard hitting combos, try super quake.

Zombie Soldiers :-

Background = Undead armed with whips and bazookas, their corpses lie around old bars.

Strategy = they have the highest deffense of all lesses demons, they even block ! but it doesn't mater, shoot hell fireball and all of them will be ready to be finished off. An alternate is to fight them one at a time, single them out , use fist dive , follow with an uppercut and finish them in the air. if you do this the others will be unlikely to hit you. The ones with bazookas are a different story all together, you have to continuosly use fist dive to not only dodge them but keep hitting them. it will take two fist dives.



WInd Sub-boss :-

Background = Eight feet tall phantoms, who wait precariously to attack anyone they find , found in abandoned churches and carnivals. Johnny first meets one at the top of an abandoned building, with wind tunnels everywhere , where this monster normally resides. He pursued it to get the wind soul while he was tracking down scare crow. First eppearance / boss apearance end of the mission "High Rise".

Strategy = if you have red gauge, they will only need four-six shotgun blasts to defeat , if not use fireball if you have the space , whatever you do , don't fight them in melee , you will get damaged just by appraching them , your absolute best weapon against them is plasma shotgun , so remember to combat roll backwards, to give yourself some space and then let them have it. It will only take two.

Deathwatch's Ninjas :-

Background = Zombie ninjas who are highly skilled in combat.

Strategy = They attack more frequently than any other lesser demon, combat roll , till all of them stop attacking , then take them all out with one hell punch. keep an eye on all of them because they have projectiles.

Scarecrow's Crows :-

Background = Demonized crows found in the abandoned church and carnival. Reffered to as "Crows" by Scarecrow.

Strategy = Same strategy as bloodgoyle.



Dark Sub-boss :-

Background = Swamp monsters. Living in the depths of the demon bog, Johnny tracked one down to acquire the dark soul in pursuit of Blackheart. First appearance / Boss appearance "The Demon Bayou", found during the dark phase of the game. They are ONLY found in the bayou and four of them are encountered in total.

Strategy = They have the highest deffense in the entire game ! even more than black heart ! but they don't use melee, they have acidic vomit and use quakes , their other weakness iis that they will keep flinching as long as you're attacking them , so unleash your longest combo on them , here's one = fist dive + heavy uppercut + fire cutter + chain quake

Zombie Clowns :-

Background = Undead infesting the old quentin carnival. They hide in any place secluded like tents, compartments or even coffins. Only encountered in the carnival levels in the dark phase.

Strategy = they all will try to swarm you so you have no place to dodge the bombs laid down by the stout ones, always combat roll to your back and take them all out with a hell punch. the slim ones with axes use a quick jumping attack, so block half of the time , if you want you can beat them with an air combo of your choice.

That is all the lesser demons in the game, thank you for your time!
