El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron

A ranged weapon with lightning-fast attacks but low damage, this is a great weapon for crowd-controlling multiple enemies at once, or just for keeping your enemies at range. This weapon's special move (R1+Triangle or Square by default) allows you to make a dash forward, either on the ground or in the air, allowing for quick evasions or position changes, as well as some improved helpfulness during the platforming sections of the game. Should you find yourself having not yet unlocked the trophy, simply focus on using the Gale over all other weapons as you play through the chapters and in time it will unlock. Chapters 2, 4, and 5 are good chapters during which to utilize the Gale.
