Spoilers for JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes Of Heaven and JoJo Part 6

When you have completed the Quest for gathering all of the Saint's Corpse Parts for JOE, he will send you to DIO's realm to defeat him.

Heaven Ascension DIO is one of the Bosses you must defeat in order to obtain Made In Heaven or The World: Over Heaven. Heaven Ascension DIO has been renamed "Heaven Ascension DEO" in-game in order to avoid copyright issues.

Upon talking to JOE, your Corpse Parts will not be taken.

Heaven Ascension DIO[]

Heaven Ascension DIO is one of the hardest bosses in the game, with approximately 600 HP.

You must defeat him in order to obtain his Bone, a vital component for evolving C-Moon into Made In Heaven and The World into The World Over Heaven in The Heaven's Plan.

You will be assigned to defeat him after talking with JOE and bringing him all 4 of the Saint's Corpse Parts.

Entering DIO's Realm[]

• JOE: "Do you have the "Saint's Corpse parts" yet?"
• Player: Yes, here they are. (Continue) Bye. (Decline)
• JOE: "DEO should summon us to his realm any minute now. Get ready to beat his face in".

JOE and Player will be teleported to Heaven Ascension DEO's Realm.You will see that you are in a purple-colored dimension with Heaven Ascension DIO across from you and JOE.

Behavior[]

DIO uses the Stand: The World Over Heaven.

Randomly when Heaven Ascension DIO is from a far distance, he will Time Skip behind you and perform either a barrage, stand barrage finisher, or smite.

DIO will attempt to break your block by your behavior, whenever you're blocking, DIO will either Time Skip behind you and use a heavy punch, or worse, Heaven Ascended Smite as both will instantly break block. DIO also will sometimes approach you with a heavy punch, or 4 M1s and then a heavy punch.

DIO will also always does his Barrage and then a Barrage Finisher, this is easy to parry, all you have to do is to hold block once DIO finishes his barrage, or block his barrage and then parry the finisher.

When DIO is Half HP, he will begin to use his Reality Overwrite moves and will Time Stop very frequently. He will also start using the Self Injury Overwrite move on himself in order to heal.

Defeating DIO[]

When you finally Defeat DIO, the Reward is $500 and +2880 EXP.

You will now have to obtain DEO's Bone to complete JOE's quest. There is a 16% chance of the bone being dropped, so you may have to fight him multiple times.

Trivia[]

• Heaven Ascension DIO is located at the Heaven Arena, you can enter it by collecting all the Corpse Parts and talking to Joe.
• Even if the quest is completed, you still need all four corpse parts to enter the Heaven Arena.
• Heaven Ascension DIO is immune to Return To Zero (Return To Zero will not cancel his Time Stop, but it will desummon his Stand). He is also immune to timestop, unless he doesn't have his stand out. Use this to your advantage.
• It took a very long time for Heaven Ascended DIO to respawn, about 7 minutes. However, with an older update, all respawn times had been shortened.
• There is a 2% chance that Heaven Ascended DIO will drop his hair upon death.

Tips and Tricks[]

• While Heaven Ascensded DIO does have the move Reality Overwriting Punch, he does not have the passive. This means that it's very important to use moves that increase your defense because he cannot bypass them.
• When barraging, try not to fully barrage, because he can counter barrage towards the end.
• If he barrages, you shouldn't barrage back, as he will almost always do a Barrage Finisher afterwards, which means that if you barrage back you might be losing out on a little bit of damage, which is not good for fighting this boss and Jotaro Kujo (6). Instead you can just hold the block key while he is barraging. If you do this, it will perfect block the heavy punch, then you can do a combo on him.
• His Time Skip stuns you, and he will usually do Heaven Ascended Smite or a click combo afterward, so you should be careful when fighting him. However, some moves can counter this, moves like Platinum Slam or Cycle Slash, alternatively you can do Barrage Finisher and make a sharp turnaround, however this will not always work. C - Moon with Spin will perform well as it has two counters with low cooldowns. It is advised that you do not hold block, as doing so will cause him to teleport behind you and do a Barrage Finisher instead, breaking your block. However you can unblock, but he is likely to smite you right after.
• To start fighting Heaven Ascended DIO, you should do up to 2-3 M1s and use a reliable stun, such as Eye Gouge or Zoom punch, and because DIO doesn't have his stand out yet, you can hit Heaven Ascended DIO with a Barrage.

Main Stand[]

Star Platinum:[]

You have to unlock all the moves, no need to max out rage and upgrade Stand Jump to III.

Star Finger is really helpful as it is a good stun when paired with Inhale. Jaw Breaker is also useful for ragdolling someone. Stand Jump will be very useful, along with Time Skip, because this will help keep distance from H.A.D.

SP+Boxing Combo: Star Finger+ Inhale + 4 LMB + Eye Gouge + Ora Kicks.

Once H.A.D gets ragdolled, he will time skip behind you within 3 seconds- Stand Jump in order to escape from this move.

SP+Hamon Combo: Star Finger + Barrage + Zoom Punch + Inhale + 4 LMB + Ora Kick.

Hamon is recommended, because it has a good amount of defense and damage with a useful stun from Zoom Punch and a burning effect from Scarlet Overdrive.

Zoom Punch + Star Finger + Sunlight Yellow Overdrive + Scarlet Overdrive + Finisher.

Star Finger + Time Stop + Barrage + Zoom Punch (when Time Stop ends) + Star Finger + Ora Kick.

Keep your distance and use these combos. If needed, enable Rage Mode to increase your defense.

Star Platinum: The World + Vampirism:[]

You must have every move unlocked to complete this.

This is a combo to beat H.A.D with SP:TW and Vampirism. Combat precision + Time Stop + Barrage (he can't barrage back in time stop) + Platinum Slam + 4x LMB + Ora Kicks + barrage TS ends + Skull Crusher + Freeze + Life Drain + dash backwards + Space Ripper Stingy Eyes + Heavy Punch + Barrage + Ora Kicks. Then keep on fighting and when low, you should use Skull Crusher + Beatdown (if SC is on cooldown just use beatdown,) since it is long it should give a good time to heal a portion of your health back.

Chariot Requiem + Boxing:[]

Unlike SP:TW, CW does work on H.A.D. Use Heavy punch or Finisher then use CW. Follow the CW combo (H + 10 - 12 m1s + Eye Gouge + Boxing Barrage + G + E + Jawbreaker) and stall using Y (Helping Hand) while m1ing him a bunch with a few jawbreakers and barrage finishers. Once you run out of Helping Hand, use T (Your Own Shadow) and just stand there. Once 7 seconds are up, start fighting back. If he uses any of these moves during Your Own Shadow, follow these combos (assuming he's below half): Barrage: ( E + G + Boxing Barrage + Jawbreaker) Heaven Ascended Smite: ( Eye Gouge + 3 m1s + G + Jawbreaker + Boxing Barrage if H.A.D uses barrage on any of these moves, Barrage near the end then finish up with m1s and Jawbreaker) Barrage and Heavenly Ascended Smite: ( E + G + Eye Gouge + Boxing Barrage + 4m1s + Jawbreaker. After this, feel free to get aggressive on H.A.D using m1s and R for interrupting moves. Once your done with that, he should have about 150 Health while you have used all your attacks, by this time, you have at least gotten E, R, G and all your boxing moves back. Use this to your advantage and pull all stops with G + Boxing Barrage + 3m1s + Eye Gouge + E + Jawbreaker. Depending on your upgrades, this should kill H.A.D, If it doesn't, use R then m1 him a lot. Congrats you just beat H.A.D to an ever living pulp. In any case, Keep the pressure up with m1s so he doesn't get the chance to use any of his moves.

C-Moon + Spin/Hamon/Boxing:[]

C-Moon with Spin has a very great stun, so use that mostly to your advantage. For example, Gravitational Shift is a great combo starter. Note to always use T after you use Y so you can add extra damage. If H.A.D is about to stop time, press Z and jump so you'll be stuck in mid air, resulting in H.A.D being unable to damage you during stopped time. Z also increases your gravity moves by 2x, which can deal extreme amounts of damage if used well. Also, your counter is useful when it tries to hit you with a heavy damaging move, since you can negate it and add even more damage.

Golden Skin + Gravitational Shift + Steel Ball + Multi Steel Ball + 4x LMB + Surface Inversion Punch + Uppercut to the Moon + Spin Punch + Barrage + Heavy Punch + Steel Ball + Multi Steel Ball + 4x LMB + Spin Punch.

Hamon is another recommended Speciality, as it can heavily buff its damage while having the Hamon Punch passive. You also gain a 30% reduction of damage taken and a 25% damage output boost. This will come in EXTREMELY handy as you can quickly melt H.A.D's health. When you're about to use gravity moves, always use it with Hamon charged. A combo is Z + E + B + Y + T. This can melt H.A.D's health very quickly. Always try to use this combo; its Z can be replaced with the counter move too. Hamon also does bonus damage, as H.A.D is a vampire.

Boxing is the last recommended Spec. Although it is not as good as Hamon, it can be used to extend attacks and punish H.A.D hard if used well. Having an extra barrage (similar to Hamon's Sunlight Yellow Overdrive) and your jaw breaker can Stand crash H.A.D, leaving you an open space to attack. Your Eye Gouge doesn't do anything except damaging and slowing him down, so you can use other moves while he's slower.

Gold Experience Requiem + Hamon:[]

Note that you must unlock the Hamon Punch passive.

GER + Hamon is a powerful matchup for beating H.A.D, but it's good to have one friend with you that can be used to take turns whenever you're low. Try to spam X with Hamon charged, as it can deal heavy damage output. Do not barrage first, and always spam LMB after you finish barraging. Always keep your Hamon charged, as it will come in handy sooner or later. Note that H.A.D has an extremely long Time Stop, so you can just Return To Zero to cancel it or summon a tree so he won't be able to hit you during it. A good combo with Hamon charged is X (use scorpions instead of directly hitting them) + LMB x5 (wait until they barrage) + E + LMB x4 + R.

Awakening can melt H.A.D's health quickly when paired with charged Hamon, use it whenever you can so you can send out an arsenal of attacks. Never forget to spam LMB at H.A.D once he finishes barraging, as it can deal heavy damage with Awakening, and even more so with Hamon charged. Do not directly hit your X, as scorpions deal more damage than directly hitting H.A.D

D4C: Love Train:

D4C:LT can make it so that H.A.D cannot damage you. Start off with 4 M1s, a barrage and then LT then if H.A.D barrages you, you can dimension hop and sooner or later you will auto leave and you can heal since H.A.D cant leave the dimension hop. rinse and repeat and you can cheese him.

D4C: Love Train + Hamon:

D4C: Love train and Hamon can allow you to easily farm H.A.D. without taking damage and even without H.A.D stopping time, but it will require a flawless one cycle. you will need Lung Capacity III and Hamon punch, do not get a third clone as those skill points are needed for Hamon, before the battle starts fill Hamon up completely and do the following combo

• 4 M1's
• Full Barrage
• 1 M1
• Love Train

if you did everything correctly H.A.D will Teleport Behind you after getting flung by his Heaven Ascended Smite and attack you with m1's, let him attack you until he starts to barrage. once he does, fill your Hamon and do the final combo

• 4 M1's
• Full Barrage

due to the high amount of damage that Hamon does against vampires H.A.D will die before your barrage ends, once it happens place down clones and tp back into the Dimension using X (Clone Swap), allowing you to get back into the Arena without having to talk to JOE, Due to the low Cooldown time you can almost immediately repeat this One Cycle until you get the item or items you need such as Hair for trading or Bone for Made in Heaven or The World Over Heaven

Whitesnake:[]

Whitesnake can use its disks to deactivate H.A.D's TW OH. Then you can put in immense amounts of damage without being damaged at all. Try to extend your attacks as long as possible before knocking H.A.D away. A combo: T+Y+E+R+Z+X and repeat. There's even a high possibility that he will never pull his stand out on you after doing the combo: T+Y+X+Z+E and repeat. Stay still on him for a while, and he wont pull his stand out.

There is an interesting bug with Whitesnake. If you use the combo T + Y on H.A.D as the first attack, he won't be able to attack you anymore. He will still follow you, but no matter how much time passes, he won't be able to either punch you with his fists or attack with TWOH, making him extremely easy to beat as Whitesnake. If H.A.D gets attacked by another player, he will continue his normal behavior, though.

Magician's Red + Pluck:[]

Probably one of the easier stands since H.A.D can't dash and put the burn effect out. Start with a barrage + 4m1s + R. Then, Follow up with Y then hold block and run around with Pluck's Aerial Ace. Once the burn goes out, use Z + X then run around again. Once he stops burning, repeat. If he uses time stop, use your T move to stop H.A.D from getting near you. Combo him if needed.

The World + Boxing:

For the skill Tree, I would recommend getting all of the skills, without any upgrades (except tough skin, upgrade that to maximum) start off with knuckle sandwich+Barrage+m1+liver shot(immediately after)+Kick Barrage+ (wait 3 seconds) Road Roller, this should work decently well with H.A.D. you can spam Knives and Kick barrage against him, because his AI is dumb

Support Stands[]

There are other Stands that can be used for support, but these are the recommended ones while fighting H.A.D with your friend.

Gold Experience:[]

Gold Experience is almost a made-for-support Stand. It has a heal which gives 60 hp, and a move that can cripple H.A.D, along with a beatdown. If your friend is low, you can quickly heal them and then use beatdown on H.A.D, allowing them time to quickly pose and heal. If H.A.D uses Time Stop, you can quickly summon a tree to avoid any attacks. Your barrage's damage output isn't half bad too, so you and your friend could double barrage at H.A.D.

Hierophant Green:[]

Hierophant Green is an excellent Stand to stall time for your friend to quickly pose and heal due to its 20 meter Emerald Splash and normal Emerald Splash. Your Emerald Splash can deal hefty amounts of damage, with an amazingly short cooldown giving you the ability to spam the move. Your 20 meter Emerald Splash is also another good way to stall time for you and your friend to pose. However, your close ranged moves are weak, so you're going to have to rely on Specs like Hamon for damage output, and Boxing for more melee moves.

The Hand:[]

The Hand can deal extreme amounts of damage in a short amount of time, and you can easily use both Erasures while H.A.D and your friend are barraging each other. However, note that you mainly rely on your Erasure to deal damage, so you're going to need a friend so you can take turns and wait out the Erasure cooldowns.
