In Devil May Cry 5, how does Urizen defeat Dante, Nero, Trish, and Lady in their first battle? In Devil May Cry 5, Urizen defeats Dante, Nero, Trish, and Lady in their first battle. But after the second and third battle with Dante, Urizen is beaten by Dante while he can defeat Nero in their second battle.

It doesn't make any sense because Urizen is half of Vergil, so his power level must be 50% of Vergil's but he manages to defeat heroes in their first battle. Urizen kicks everyone's ass.

How does he defeat the heroes in their first battle?
The answer is found in Nico's reports. She talks about how Urizen bound himself to the Qliphoth, a tree predating the Underworld itself. According to Trish, it was once used by Mundus to conquer the Underworld. Urizen, already boasting Vergil's demonic power, was now bolstered by a primordial power source as well as the Yamato.
