Though Finis Demons generally try to overwhelm [[Dante]] with great numbers, they are slow and can be easily led into striking their own allies. They are also weak to Lightning-elemental attacks. When a shield-wielding Mortfinis throws its shield at Dante, it should be avoided by jumping. Finis Demons can infrequently duplicate themselves, as well.

Finis Demons are able to wield a pair giant cleavers, a pair of saw-edged shields, long swords or no weapon at all, which changes their attacks. Cleaver and sword using enemies attempt to slash the character multiple times, and on higher difficulties gain a spinning attack (cleavers) or a powerful lunging stab (swords). Shield using enemies usually throw their shield from a distance as a means of offense, which makes them more dangerous than other types. On higher difficulties they can also try to roll into the character at close range. Finally, unarmed Finis demons jump towards the player and attempt to trap them inside themself, which both deals damage and immobilizes, allowing other enemies to attack unimpeded. If the character is trapped, it's possible to break out by rapidly pressing buttons.

Unofficial translation

This human-shaped iron cage was, originally, an extremely cruel punishment instrument that restrained convicts so tightly that they couldn't even move, and finally let them die of starvation in front of the public. Eventually grudges of the executed, especially those slaughtered on false charges, have turned the hollow instruments into demonic beings. These avengers are wandering in search of living people to spread the agony, terror and death the executed suffered.
