Gameplay

Devil May Cry 4

Once Nero obtains the Evil Legacy, he can use his "Hell Bound" technique to grapple onto a Grim Grip, allowing him to travel across gorges or elevated areas without falling.[1] Some Grim Grips can only be revealed by standing on a Continuum Pad; however, not all Grim Grips require a Continuum Pad to be utilized. Despite the fact that Dante traverses the same areas as Nero, Dante does not encounter any Grim Grips.

Sanctus, in both his normal and Diabolica forms, can summon flying miniature demons that Nero can stun and use similar to Grim Grips.

A Continuum Pad

A Continuum Pad is a platform, often set near a cliff or ledge, which is used to reach invisible Grim Grips or distant Grim Grips that would be impossible to reach using Hell Bound alone.[1] In these cases, if there is no Continuum Pad on the other side of the path, the Continuum Pad and Grim Grip effectively act as a one-way gate.
