~~Special Notes on Unlockables~~
--------------------------------
Bloody Palace and Vergil
-If you use a completed DMC3 save to unlock these two modes off the
bat, keep in mind that the save only unlocks these two. Nothing else
transfers from DMC3 into DMC3SE. So you'll have to do everything with
Dante from scratch.
Demo Digest
-Skipping the cutscenes as you play through the game will still unlock
them.
Super Sparda and Super Nelo Angelo
-Super Sparda and Super Nelo can be earned another way. If you skipped
over Very Hard Mode, the only way you'll earn these "Super" versions
on DMD is if you have Bloody Palace cleared. Otherwise, you have to
have Very Hard cleared before clearing DMD. Then again, if you skip
both Very Hard and Bloody Palace you earn Super Dante or Super Vergil
for clearing DMD. Doing it this way forces you to clear Bloody Palace
for Super Sparda and Super Nelo.
Game Options
-Turbo mode and the Lock On toggle is available at the start of the
game in the options menu. I included it in here because there are
those of you who might easily skip over it.
------------------------------------
~~Special Notes on Costume Changes~~
------------------------------------
Dante's Outfits:
Default
-This is the regular outfit of the game. Nothing special. When using
this Dante is always coatless for Mission 1, and the coat sleeve isn't
ripped until Mission 8.
Coatless
-This is the outfit Dante has for mission 1 when using the Default
outfit. You go through the whole game with Dante's "too cool for a
shirt" attitude.
DMC1
-This is the outfit Dante has on during the ending when his shop is
finally open for business. It's also the outfit he has on during the
first DMC game. When using this, Dante's DT is that of Sparda. His
Rebellion becomes the Force Edge, however it remains Rebellion in all
of the menus and has all of Rebellion's moves during gameplay.
Coatless DMC1
-This is the DMC1 outfit minus a coat, with a visible amulet. Like the
DMC1 outfit Dante's DT is that of Sparda, and his Rebellion is replaced
by his father's Force Edge. The Force Edge is just the Rebellion with
a different look.
Sparda (Legendary Dark Knight)
-This is the outfit of Sparda. When using this, Dante becomes Sparda,
complete with a demon shadow and his trademark monocle. Dante's DT is
once again that of Sparda. The Rebellion once again is replaced by the
Force Edge with no other changes other than appearance. Ebony and
Ivory, Dante's handmade guns are replaced by Luce and Ombra, Sparda's
handmade guns. Like the sword change, there is nothing different
between these two sets of guns. Technically you aren't the Legendary
Dark Knight as you are still playing as Dante, complete with his
animations and sounds. This outfit just merely represents Dante's
father.
Super Dante
-This outfit is the default outfit with the sleeve already ripped. The
kicker, it gives Dante the ability of unlimited Devil Trigger.
However, using DT Flux (DT explosion), Quicksilver, and Doppelganger
still depletes Dante's DT runes. Unlike using the DT with other
outfits, Dante's health doesn't refill while transformed. It's a
tradeoff for super speed and power.
Super Sparda (Super LDK)
-This is the Sparda outfit with unlimited DT. This outfit is the
equivalent to a God Mode. Dante gains true infinite DT. This means
that using DT Flux, Quicksilver, and Doppelganger won't deplete Dante's
DT runes. And as an added bonus Dante's health constantly refills. It
refills at such an accelerated rate that sometimes it appears as if you
aren't taking any damage. When utilizing this outfit Dante becomes a
devil slaying nightmare.
Vergil's Outfits:
Default
-This is the regular outfit of the game. Nothing special.
Coatless
-You go through the whole game with Vergil's "too cool for a coat"
attitude.
Nelo Angelo (Corrupt Vergil)
-This outfit represents Vergil's transformation into Nelo Angelo. The
outfit is similar to Dante's Sparda outfit, but it clearly doesn't
represent Sparda, as evident through Vergil's facial features and lack
of a demon shadow. Vergil's DT is that of Nelo Angelo from DMC1.
Vergil's DT is slightly more powerful than Dante's. When Vergil
transforms into Nelo his moveset changes.
(see next section for Nelo's move list)
Super Vergil
-This outfit is the default outfit. The kicker, it gives Vergil the
ability of unlimited Devil Trigger. However, using DT Flux (devil
trigger explosion) and Spiral Swords still depletes Vergil's DT runes.
Unlike using the DT with other outfits, Vergil's health doesn't refill
while transformed. It's a tradeoff for super speed and power.
Super Nelo Angelo (Super Corrupt Vergil)
-This is the Nelo outfit with unlimited DT. This outfit gives Vergil a
bit of a god complex as he gains true unlimited DT. This means that
using both DT Flux and Spiral Swords won't deplete Vergil's DT runes.
Plus there's the added bonus of Vergil's health constantly refilling.
Like Dante's "Super Sparda" outfit, it fills at such an accelerated
rate that sometimes it appears as if you aren't taking any damage.
When utilizing this outfit Vergil becomes a true angel of death.
Lady's Outfits:
Default
-This is the outfit that Lady wears in the cutscenes.
Ryder Suit
-This is an all white body suit. It only appears on her during the
boss fight with her and the battle during the credits where she fights
at your side. To see this suit in both of those situations you have to
be wearing the folling outfits:
Dante -
~Coatless DMC1
~Sparda
~Super Sparda
Vergil -
~Coatless
~Nelo Angelo
~Super Nelo Angelo

~~Nelo Angelo Move List~~
-------------------------
When DTed into Nelo Angelo, Vergil's weapons and moves change.
Beowulf gives him new hand to hand abilities while Yamato gives
him new sword abilities. In other words, Nelo only has two
weapons. Vergil's Dark Slayer style is still utilized as Nelo
as well as all of his Phantom Swords abilities.
~~Yamato~~
Sword Combo - triangle, triangle, triangle

The final hit knocks enemies away from Nelo.

presses and he tosses up to three one after the other and blasts back
enemies.
~~Nelo Angelo's Taunts~~
Taunt 1 - select
~~Nelo beckons his opponents with a wave of his hand and a deep "Come
on." Similar to Dante's "Come on wimp."
Taunt 2 - select
~~Nelo laughs sinisterly as he beckons his opponents with a wave of
both hands. Similar to Dante's "Come and get me."
-------------------
~~Secret Missions~~
-------------------
This section deals with the Secret Mission locations and how to
accomplish them with both sons of Sparda.
Secret Mission 1: The Exorcist
Objective -
Defeat all enemies within the time limit.
Location -
(Mission 3) On the same side of the street before the Divinity Statue
and after the dumpster containing a green orb, you'll see a building
with red orbs along the top. Examine the doors.
Dante -
The clock is against you so power moves are your best friend.
Rebellion's Stinger puts enemies in their place while the Shotgun packs
a serious punch at close range. The Shotgun combined with Charged
Shots will greatly increase your chances of victory. Stay offensive
and don't let up. Holy Water is for those who just can't handle the
pressure of a time limit.
Vergil -
Vergil was made for this challenge. His wide range Yamato attacks can
take out multiple foes, while the brute force of Beowulf allows for a
quick kill on the enemies. Force Edge is good to use too. None of
Vergil's weapons will cause him to waste time. Lay down a constant
barrage of Summoned Swords while handing out the melee beat down and
you'll have this mission cleared in record time. Devil Trigger if you
want to accomplish this task even quicker.
Secret Mission 2: Untouchable
Objective -
Defeat all enemies while taking no damage.
Location -
(Mission 5) Before activating the massive lift, examine the red glowing
skull on the wall.
Dante -
Dante's Trickster Dash ability comes in big handy when it comes to
evading the arrows that Enigmas launch. You can play it safe and stay
far back laying down fire from Ebony & Ivory while avoiding the arrows.
Or you can be brave and take the fight to the demons with your melee
skills all while avoiding the arrows. Finally, you can play it cheap by
running right into the middle of the group and unleashing a Holy Water
on them. It's your call, just don't get hit.
Vergil -
Vergil's got it easier than Dante with his Air Trick. Avoid the first
volley of arrows, Air Trick in, beat the Enigmas down. Utilize
Summoned Swords while laying into the enemies for faster kills. DTing
won't hurt either. Of course, there's the all mighty Holy Water option
as well.
Secret Mission 3: Death from Above
Objective -
Stay in the air for 20 seconds or more.
Location -
(Mission 7) Before heading through the doors, wall jump to the alcove
above and examine the glowing red object.
Dante -
Depending on how you play it, this may or may not be a royal pain.
Make sure you are using Swordmaster and have Rebellion equipped.
Aerial Rave is a must. Pick a corner, any corner, and wait for all
four of the enemies to swarm you. Air Hike or wall jump as high as you
can. Jump on the heads of the leaping enemies. As you rebound off of
one or two heads unleash Aerial Rave to keep yourself at the highest
point. Only do it once. Resume jumping when the move finishes,
rebounding off the enemies' heads. Rinse and repeat.
Vergil -
You automatically enter this challenge with what you need. Make sure
you are using Yamato as you will need Aerial Rave. Get the enemies
to chase you into any corner and wall jump to the highest point you
can. Constantly switch between a leap off a head and Aerial Rave.
Secret Mission 4: Devil's Teeter-totter
Objective -
Ride the elevator to the top
Location -
(Mission 8) The wreckage of an ancient ship is behind the school bus.
Smash through the boards covering a hole in the hull and examine the
blue inscribed stone inside.
Dante -
The enemies are DTed so they can take a pounding without moving much.
Your best bet is to utilize Stinger attacks combined with charged
shotgun blasts. Also make use of your Devil Trigger. The elevator can
only hold 5 people, you and four enemies. If you don't kill the
enemies before more than that limit show up, the elevator drops and you
have to do it again. If you find the above method lacking, utilize the
DT Flux. It should handle the enemies nicely. If you don't care about
rank, the DT Flux with a generous amount of Devil Stars will easily
accomplish the job.
Vergil -
Vergil has good wide range attacks that hit more than one enemy at a
time with his Yamato, though the Force Edge has the needed Stinger.
Make use of the Spiral Swords formation for added damage and just
stinger away. Your Devil Trigger adds a needed power boost. If you
don't care about rank, make use of the DT Flux and refill the runes
with Devil Stars.
Secret Mission 5: Destroyer
Objective -
Destroy every destructible background object within the time limit.
Location -
(Mission 9) Across from the cavern entry point is a cave branch high up
on the wall. Jump up to the hole and follow this branch to a pair of
glowing red crystals. Examine them.
Dante -
Agni & Rudra are a good weapon to utilize here because it's Combo 1
covers a good amount of ground. Aerial Cross is also a good attack to
use on the objects behind the bar. It might be a good idea to DT with
Dante for the added speed. DT Flux packs an added punch behind the bar
as well.
Vergil -
This is easily accomplished while using the Yamato. It has such a wide
range that it clears out a larger area of objects with a single strike.
Aerial Rave is perfect for all the items behind the bar. Devil
Triggering isn't necessary but if you feel you need the added speed
then feel free. Vergil should be fine without it. Even though he
doesn't need it, DT Flux clears out the back of the bar nicely.
Secret Mission 6: Flight of the Demon
Objective -
Collect every red orb within the time limit.
Location -
(Mission 10) After obtaining the Neo-Generator, examine the object on
the north side of the statue.
Dante -
You must use Nevan's Air Raid ability. As soon as the challenge starts
leap up and DT. Fly around and gather up all of the red orbs. Pick up
the white orbs as your runes deplete. When finished, unDT and drop
down to the level below where you started. Leap up and DT. Activate
Air Raid and collect the next batch of red orbs.
Vergil -
Vergil lacks the Air Raid ability for any of his DT forms. Due to
this, the layout of the mission is different. You have to race to
collect all the red orbs. If you screw up near the end with the jumps,
you won't make it. Even if you have no mistakes you'll reach the end
with little time to spare. Too make this challenge less frustrating,
Devil Trigger and blaze through it.
Secret Mission 7: Hang 10
Objective -
Obtain the blue orb fragment within the time limit.
Location -
(Mission 11) Close to the exit of the starting room is a raised
platform, it contains a flashing item if you didn't pick it up already.
From the platform, jump out to the pillar. From the pillar, wall jump
backward on to the balcony. Examine the churning red gear.
Dante -
As soon as the mission starts Devil Trigger and start moving. If you
have ten runes you won't have to worry about DTing a second time to
make it in time. If you have a low amount of runes you'll probably
have to use a Devil Star.
Vergil -
Devil Trigger immediately and get moving. Having a full set of runes
will make sure that you easily accomplish this challenge. But if not
use a Devil Star to get the job done.
Secret Mission 8: Tough Guys
Objective -
Destroy every enemy.
Location -
(Mission 13) As you descend the spiraling stairs, notice that one of
the wall lights is red. Examine it.
Dante -
Arachnes and Hell Vanguards will be your opponents for this challenge.
Beat them down to win. Utilize the Devil Trigger for added power and
defense. The DT Flux comes in handy. If you find this mission to be
too overwhelming feel free to unleash the power of a Holy Water.
Vergil -
Yet another Secret Mission that Vergil seems to have been made for.
Beowulf is the weapon of choice here. DT to pack an extra punch. DT
Flux can get you out of a bind. If you still can't handle it, fall
back on a Holy Water or two. The hardest part of this challenge will
be dealing with two Hell Vanguards.
Secret Mission 9: Target Practice
Objective -
Do not let a single enemy escape.
Location -
(Mission 13) In the section where you acquired the Orichalcon, leap
into the alcove in the wall. Examine the skull with glowing eyes.
Dante -
As soon as the mission starts, hold down the lock on button and start
firing with Ebony & Ivory. Having charged shots to back you up might
be a good idea. Also DTing for added power wouldn't hurt. Utilize DT
Flux for cars that you find forcing you to restart the mission. If all
else fails, bust out a Holy Water to take out all the enemies on the
faster cars.
Vergil -
Vergil's Summon Swords, when maxed, are fast, though they may not be
fast enough. Utilize the DT for extra power. The different Spiral
Sword formations might give you that extra push you need to pull
through. The last couple of cars go fast. Utilize the DT Flux or Holy
Waters to get the job done if need be.
Secret Mission 10: Guiding Light
Objective -
Solve the crystal puzzle.
Location -
(Mission 16) After revealing the hidden location of the Golden Sun,
examine the glowing wall panel to the right side of the key item's
location.
Dante -
The solution to this Secret Mission is randomly generated. If you mess
up connecting the light stream, just run to the back of the chamber and
beat on the switch to reset the puzzle. If the design is too much for
you, exit the Secret Mission and then start over. The puzzle layout
will be different.
Vergil -
Random puzzle design with a random solution. The only way you'll solve
it is through trial and error. You actually have to use your head in a
DMC game.
Secret Mission 11: On Pins and Needles
Objective -
Avoid the spikes and obtain the blue orb.
Location -
(Mission 17) In the area known as "Pitch Black Void" you have to jump
up to the arches in the archway. Examine the shinning goddess statue.
She'll be on the lower, middle arch.
Dante -
Dante's Trickster abilities make this challenge extremely easy. The
spikes move faster but Dante's dashes and Sky Star ability will keep
you out of harms way. Devil Trigger if you are still having trouble
with the speed of the spikes for a speed boost of your own.
Vergil -
Vergil is cursed with one style. Good thing Dark Slayer is a glorified
Trickster. Make good use of Vergil's Trick Up and Trick Down
techniques. Mastery of these skills will get you through unscratched.
Add in a DT for the added speed boost and you'll have no problem with
this seemingly sick mission.
Secret Mission 12: Final Ascension
Objective -
Obtain the blue orb fragment.
Location -
(Mission 18) Move to the left side of the statue of the giant foot.
Examine the stone tablet at the ankle of the foot.
Dante -
You must utilize Nevan here. To accomplish this seemingly frustrating
challenge, you must do the following:
-Move to the block against the wall and leap up onto the block hovering
back and forth above it.
-Wall jump and DT, utilize your Air Raid ability and fly toward the
center of the room where another block rises and falls. Take that
block up to a stationary platform.
-From the platform, leap onto the block sliding in and out of the wall,
and the leap up onto the block passing by above.
-From the moving block, leap up and DT to utilize Air Raid. Fly to the
left rotating block.
-From there you'll want to be careful not to fall off as the block
travels upward. Air Hike to the second stationary platform and claim
your prize.
Vergil -
Vergil is missing out on the Air Raid ability, but he makes up for it
with Dark Slayer. This doesn't make the Secret Mission any easier, as
it can be extremely frustrating with Vergil's abilities. You must
utilize Beowulf and Yamato to get through this. To accomplish this
patience-testing challenge, you must do the following:
-Move to the block against the wall and leap up onto the block hovering
back and forth above it.
-Wall jump and use the Yamato's Aerial Rave to face the block sliding
out of the wall. Trick Up to get on top.
-As the block slides into the wall, wall jump and unleash Aerial Rave
to stay up until the block pops back out.
-Leap out along the wall and wall jump over to the block sliding in and
out by the first stationary platform. Utilize Aerial Rave to stay
airborne and correct your direction, followed by a Starfall with
Beowulf to land on the platform.
-Leap up onto the sliding block and up onto the block passing by above.
-From the top of the moving block you will see two rising blocks. The
left one goes the highest. Utilize Beowulf's Starfall to land on the
right block. You may have to utilize Yamato's Aerial Rave if you don't
make it the first time. Keep moving to keep from falling off. Leap to
the left spinning block. Keep moving to stay on.
-At the peak of the block's rise, leap up, Trick Up, Starfall and claim
your prize.
If you find these to be way too challenging because you lack the skill
and you don't want to resort to using any items, I suggest you come
back with the Super versions of the characters as the infinite DT will
make many of the timed challenges easier. Playing some of the Secret
Missions on Heaven or Hell will also help take the pain away.
