Phlegyas' Past

Phlegyas is the son of Ares, AKA, the God of War. Phlegyas was killed off by Apollo, AKA God of the Sun. After he was killed, Phlegyas was turned into a demonic giant and condemned to the fifth circle of Hell. He was sent to hell as a punishment for burning down the Apollonian Temple of Delphi.

Gameplay

Dante encounters Phlegyas when he unknowingly rides across the River Styx on the wrathful demigod's crown. After successfully fighting his way towards Dis, and seeing Beatrice become the bride of Lucifer, Dante takes control of Phlegyas and uses him to break into the City of Dis. When Dante reaches the circle of Heresy, Phlegyas breaks the ground Dante was standing on. Dante manages to jump out of the way just in time, but Phlegyas breaks through the floor, plummeting Phlegya into the abyss.
