Bolverk with Freki and Geri
Bolverk is the demon warrior who once fought against Sparda. He fights with an extendible spear and an aura of darkness, and his single eye possesses both knowledge and malice. He is the boss for Mission 11 and Mission 16 of Dante's scenario in Devil May Cry 2. He is a skeletal demon warrior who is driven to seek revenge against Sparda's heir, Dante.[1] He is served by Freki & Geri, two wolf-like servant-demons that may be reincarnated figures of warriors whom Bolverk fought alongside.
In the HD Collection, the player will achieve the award "Hungry Like The Wolves" if the player defeats Bolverk.
History
Devil May Cry 2
After Dante first defeats Freki and Geri before entering the streets of Uroboros City, they returned to Bolverk, waiting atop a skyscraper. Bolverk later reappears in the underground Ruin, where he challenges Dante to a duel. Dante chases him off and continues through the ruin, eventually meeting with Lucia. Bolverk later reappears as Dante climbs Arius's tower, and this time Dante destroys him. It is not made clear if Bolverk serves Arius or not.
Strategy
As a boss, Bolverk fights in a very similar way to Nelo Angelo's.

Background
In Norse Mythology, Bolverk is an alias Odin once took while masquerading as a human. Freki and Geri are two wolves that acted as companions to Odin.
Bolverk's usage of a spear also matches Odin's Gungnir in terms of similar weaponry. The Gungnir, is Odin's spear in battles and is known as the "Swaying One". The only difference is that Bolverk has his spear shaped like a large blade.
