3. Intro
Capcom has once again created a magnificent game. Devil May Cry is a gaming
experience unlike anything before. With it's dark, gothic mode and intense
action, you won't be bored easily. After finishing this game, I had an urge
to write a guide for it. Here, I will explain just about everything in the
game: a full walkthrough, all of the items and weapons, enemies, secret
missions, everything. I want this guide to be as complete as possible so
please e-mail me if anything is missing. Above all, have fun with Devil May
Cry and I hope my guide is a big help to you.

4. Weapons and Items
What devil hunter is complete without weapons? Dante has a host of Devil Arms
(magical weapons like swords) and Firearms (guns) at his disposal. Each one
is useful in some way. The items can be found or bought at the time statues
scattered throughout the game.
FORCE EDGE
Dante begins the game with this weapon. It has no special abilities or
attacks and is the weakest of all Devil Arms. Once you acquire Alastor, you
should never use this weapon again.
ALASTOR
A lightning elemental sword. This weapon is more powerful than the Force Edge
and it offers a Devil Trigger and host of special abilities. Being lightning
elemental, it only does half damage to Plasma, an enemy that uses
electricity.
IFRIT
These fire gauntlets allow Dante to engage the enemy with punches and kicks.
Compared to Alastor, Ifrit doesn't have as much range or speed but it is
tremendously powerful. The Inferno ability is Dante's strongest attack in the
game! Ifrit also causes double damage to Frost, an ice elemental enemy.
SPARDA
An extremely wicked looking sword, Sparda combines the speed and range of a
sword with raw power. Sparda has the Stinger and Round Trip abilities of
Alastor if you purchased them, thus adding to it's usefulness. When you use a
stab type of attack, the sword becomes a halberd, and when you use Round
Trip, it becomes a scythe. Sparda packs a tremendous punch but it's downside
is that it has no Devil Trigger.
YAMATO
Available only in Legendary Dark Knight Mode, Yamato is exactly the same as
Alastor except in Devil Trigger mode, it turns into Sparda and has the same
power.
EBONY AND IVORY
These are Dante's dual handguns. Ebony and Ivory are very fast with no recoil
time and you can also suspend yourself in the air by firing them while
falling. They cause very little damage but they do very well against almost
any enemy. Very versatile.
LUCE AND OMBRA
Exactly the same as Ebony and Ivory. You can only use these in Legendary Dark
Knight Mode.
SHOTGUN
This weapon is best used at close range. It isn't nearly as fast as Ebony and
Ivory, but it can do a ton of damage at close range. Particularly useful
against Marionettes, Sin Scythes, and Sin Scissors.
GRENADE GUN
The most powerful firearm available, this weapon fires explosive shells that
cause a TON of damage. It works well against almost any enemy but it has its
downsides. One, you cannot use it in the air and two, it has a lot of recoil
time. To minimize recoil time, jump or roll after each shot.
NEEDLE GUN
This weapon is used underwater. It fires rapidly but it pauses momentarily
between each volley. It is automatically equipped when you go underwater.
NIGHTMARE BETA
The Nightmare Beta was developed in the under world. It fires beams of light
that bounce off walls and seek out enemies. You can also charge it to fire
multiple beams at once. However, the weapon consumes your Devil Trigger
runes, so it is fairly impractical to use. The Nightmare Beta has no effect
against Plasmas or Nightmare. You can use this weapon while using a Devil Arm
with no Devil Trigger but you cannot charge the gun and the shots will
ricochet only once.
VITAL STAR
Instantly refills one full life bar of health. These can only be bought at
the Time Statues.
DEVIL STAR
Instantly fills five Devil Trigger runes.
HOLY WATER
Deals massive damage to every enemy. Usually kills lesser enemies instantly.
UNTOUCHABLE
Creates a protective barrier, making Dante totally invincible. It also
activates your Devil Trigger and keeps it on until the Untouchable wears off.
LUMINITE
A stone that shines in the dark. When you find this, you will be able to see
in the dark.
BANGLE OF TIME
When you equip it, it replaces your Devil Trigger with a time stopper.
Hitting L1 will cause all enemies to freeze so can bash them without fear.
However, it consumes your Devil Trigger runes and you can't use any special
Devil Trigger skills. You cannot equip this if you are using a weapon that
has no Devil Trigger.
=============================================================================
5. The Basics
Here, you will find all of the basic knowledge you need to survive this game.
If this is your first time playing, I strongly advise familiarizing yourself
with the information found here.
Controls
=================
Left Analog Stick: Moves Dante about. Note that the movement is 2D, so
pressing down makes Dante move down, etc.
Circle: Devil Arm attack. There are many combos and moves you can use
depending on your weapon.
X: Examine objects, pick up things, action. While aiming, press X to fire
your Firearm. Note that Firearms have infinite ammo.
Square: Fires your Firearm while aiming.
Triangle: Jump. Dodge while aiming.
R1: Aim. Dante will lock onto to the closest enemy. Note that some moves
require you to aim first. This button is not used in Easy Automatic mode.
L1: Activate/deactivate Devil Trigger.
R2: Taunt.
L2: Map.
R3 (push right analog stick in): Quick switch between Alastor and Ifrit.
Difficulty Levels
=================
There are four levels of difficulty.
Easy Automatic: When you start a new game, the first mission will let you see
how good you are. When you finish the first mission but you had to use a
continue, save and quit, and then load the game again. A message will come
up, asking you if you want to switch to Easy Automatic. If you do, the game
will always be in this mode so you can't get any hidden extras. In this mode,
Dante will aim at enemies automatically, firearms become semi-automatic (you
need only hold down the fire button), and Dante will automatically perform
certain moves without additional input from you. Dante's maximum life will
double and he gets six Devil Trigger runes. You can also buy more items from
the Time Statue. You can buy 3 Vital Stars, infinite Devil Stars, 3
Untouchables, and infinite Holy Waters. Switch over to this if you think you
can't handle Normal.
Normal: The regular mode of difficulty. It is basically the same as Easy
Automatic except that you get no life or Devil Trigger boost, and you need to
hold R1 to aim at enemies. Special skills also require extra input to use.
Recommended for beginner and advanced players. The number of items you can
buy from the Time Statues will be limited to 1 Vital Star, 10 Devil Stars, 1
Untouchable, and 5 Holy Waters.
Hard: Enemies become tougher to kill and Dante takes more damage. Also,
enemies that appear late in the game on Normal or Easy Automatic will appear
very early. Items at the time statues cost MUCH more. Life recovery from
Devil Trigger is less. Recommended for advanced and expert players.
Dante Must Die: The highest difficulty level. Enemies take even longer to
kill, and most attacks cause a ton of damage to Dante. Some are capable of
killing him in one hit! Items cost even more to buy from the time statues and
some enemies will use a Devil Trigger. In this state, the enemy causes more
damage, takes less damage, and cannot be knocked around. Some rooms even have
a timer and when time runs out, the enemies will use the Devil Trigger and
the doors are sealed, forcing you to fight them. Life recovery from Devil
Trigger is very, very little, barely noticeable. Recommended for die hard DMC
players.
Basic Techniques
=================
Here the are basic techniques Dante can use:
Sword Attacks
-Sword Combo 1: Tap circle three times. Two slashes followed by a two hand
downward slash. The last hit will knock enemies away.
-Sword Combo 2: Tap circle twice, wait a split second, and then tap circle
twice again. Starts out the same as combo 1, except there are two uppercut
slashes in between.
Sword Combo 3: Tap circle twice, wait almost a full second, and then tap
circle many times repeatedly. After the first two slashes, Dante goes into s
stabbing frenzy, ending with one final lunging stab.
-Sword Drop: While in the air, hit circle to slash downwards.
-High Time: While aiming at an enemy, press the left analog stick in the
opposite direction Dante is facing and hit circle for an uppercut slash,
which knocks the enemy straight up. If you hold circle, Dante will jump in
the air, too, so you can press circle again for an aerial attack. You can
also juggle an enemy endlessly with uppercut slashes. Note that High Time can
be incorporated into any of the above sword combos.
Ifrit Attacks
-Punch Punch Kick Kick Combo: When using Ifrit, you can only use one combo, a
four hit attack with two punches and two kicks. However, you can hold circle
down to charge up any of the hits for extra damage.
-Jump Kick: While in the air, press circle to send a flaming drop kick. Dante
automatically targets the nearest enemy.
Movement
-Roll: While aiming, press the left analog stick to the left or right of
Dante's direction and hit jump. While rolling, Dante is invincible for a
split second but has a second of lag after coming out of the roll.
-Back flip: While aiming, press the left analog stick in the opposite
direction Dante is facing and hit jump.
-Kick jump: After jumping, press jump when near a wall to kick jump off. When
you do this, you can press the analog stick in the direction you want to kick
off to.
Special Techniques
=================
These attacks are only available when holding the appropriate weapon. Some
require you to be in Devil Trigger.
Alastor
-Stinger Level 1: While aiming, press forward and circle. Dante lunges
forward and stabs the enemy. It is great to use in combos. You can
incorporate in into any part of one of the above sword combos. It also knocks
enemies back, so you can corner an enemy and use it repeatedly. Cost: 350.
-Stinger Level 2: More powerful than the first level. Dante also dashes about
three times further. This is extremely useful because Dante can rush across a
room and bash an enemy in a split second. Very handy. Cost: 1400.
-Round Trip: Press and hold circle. Dante will throw the sword like a
boomerang. The longer you hold circle, the longer the sword will fly. Dante
automatically targets enemies and the sword will strike repeatedly. While the
sword is in flight, you can still use your firearms or you can press circle
repeatedly to attack with your bare hands. It is a four hit pattern, similar
to Ifrit, but not nearly as powerful. Cost: 1550
-Air Hike: While in the air, press jump for a double jump. This is helpful
for avoiding attacks and reaching certain ledges. However, you cannot use it
in conjunction with a kick jump, so there is no triple jumping. Cost: 4000
-Air Raid: While in the air, press R1 to fly. Then, hit square or X to fire
lightning bolts. Dante targets enemies automatically and you can move freely
while using this skill. Requires Devil Trigger. Cost: 750.
-Vortex Level 1: While flying, press circle. Dante will spin his body and ram
into the nearest enemy. It causes decent damage but it is very short.
Requires Devil Trigger. Cost: 1150.
-Vortex Level 2: Same as level 1 only more powerful. Also, you can now hold
circle and Dante will spin forwards infinitely. Requires Devil Trigger. Cost:
2400
Ifrit
-Magma Drive: While aiming, press in the opposite direction Dante is facing
and hit circle. Dante lunges forward and delivers a flaming uppercut,
knocking enemies straight up in the air. As with High Time, you can juggle
enemies to death with this move. It can be incorporated into any part of the
Ifrit combo and it can also be charged for extra damage. Cost: 500.
-Kick 13 Level 1: While aiming, press forward and circle. Dante moves forward
with a flaming roundhouse. It can knock enemies away very easily, so it quite
useful. Cost: 700
-Kick 13 Level 2: Same as level 1 but with more power and range. This skill
is a must when employing Ifrit because of it's great versatility. Cost: 2100
-Rolling Blaze: Another good skill, Rolling Blaze surrounds Dante's body with
flames whenever he jumps. Not only can you damage enemies simply by jumping
into them, but Dante is also invincible. Cost: 3450
-Meteor Level 1: While aiming, press in the opposite direction Dante is
facing and press circle to launch a flaming meteor. You can also charge the
meteors for extra damage. Requires Devil Trigger. Cost: 900.
-Meteor Level 2: Meteor Level 1 with more damage. A fully charged meteor here
will cause a TON of damage but you need some time to get fully charged.
Requires Devil Trigger. Cost: 2700
-Inferno: The most powerful skill in the game. While in the air, move the
analog stick in any direction and hit circle. Dante slams the ground with his
fist and wall of fire erupts in every direction. This move can hit up to the
three times and each hit causes massive damage. Most enemies, except for
bosses, will die with just one use. Requires Devil Trigger. Cost: 4850
Devil Trigger
=================
Once you get Alastor, you will receive three Devil Trigger runes underneath
the life gauge. These DT runes represent your magical power. When you attack
enemies or when enemies attack you, the runes will light up. When at least
three runes are full, it will flash, indicating that you can DT. Hit L1 to
switch to your devil form. In this form, new attacks and abilities become
available to you. You will also recover life while it is active. Once
activated, the runes will fade away. The speed at which they fade away is
fairly slow but using special skills will use up runes. You can cancel a DT
by hitting L1 again.
Firearms also play a role in DT mode. Your shots become charged with the
energy of the devil form you're in and become more powerful. Even if you are
not in DT mode, you can press and hold X to charge the guns. Once charged,
press X repeatedly to fire DT shots. It will only last about a second, so you
will get many more DT shots from Ebony and Ivory.
The properties of a DT can differ depending on what weapon you are using.
Alastor: Dante is surrounded by purple energy. His attacks become more
powerful and he runs twice as fast. If you press R1 after jumping, you can
fly. When you attack with the sword, he will use Sword Combo 2 regardless of
how fast or slow you press circle (but you can use combo 3).
Ifrit: Dante is surrounded by orange energy. Dante's attacks cause twice as
much damage. Also, if you purchased Kick 13, use it and Dante will unleash a
fast four hit combo. If you have level 2, the combo will have five hits, the
last one launching the enemy. It is VERY powerful but it eats up DT runes
quickly.
Sparda: Dante is surrounded by red energy. At one point in the game, you will
be able to DT with Sparda. Here, you have all of the skills as Alastor except
for Air Raid and Vortex. Your sword slashes will have tremendous range and
you can run twice as fast. Aim and press X repeatedly to hurl meteors. Sword
attacks cause twice as much damage.
Yamato: Exactly the same as Alastor except that the sword will turn into
Sparda and cause four times as much damage. Only available in Legendary Dark
Knight Mode.
Orbs
=================
Orbs play a big part in the game. There are several different colors and each
one has a different purpose.
Red: Think of this as demonic money. These orbs can open certain doors and
buy special skills or items from the time statues. You want to get as many of
these as you can. Red Orbs can be found in a number of different ways.
Killing enemies is the most common way. Killing them with Devil Arms,
taunting, and getting high combo rankings will net you more orbs than usual.
You can find them by destroying objects and by standing in certain areas
which will cause a cache of Red Orbs to float down to you. Orbs come in
several sizes: 1, 5, 100, and 1000.
Green: These orbs will restore your life when you get them. Although
sometimes you will find them lying around, enemies will sometimes drop them
if you are wounded during a battle. Some orbs give you a little bit of your
life, some half of a life bar, and sometimes you will get an orb that
restores a full life bar. If you get a Green Orb and your life is already
full, you will get five Red Orbs instead.
Yellow: These orbs act as lives. If you are killed, a Yellow Orb is expended
you will restart from the last room you entered. These orbs can be found in
some places or purchased from the time statue. The prices are:
Easy/Normal: 350, 450, 550
Hard: 1000, 1500, 2000
DMD: 2000
Blue: Blue Orbs increase the maximum life limit by 10%. Mostly, they will be
split up into fragments. For every four fragments you find, you will get one
full Blue Orb. You can purchase some from the time statues as well. There are
a total of 20 Blue Orbs, so Dante's life can extend to two full bars. When
you go through the game multiple times, Yellow Orbs will replace Blue Orb
fragments that you have already found. The prices for buying them are:
300, 550, 1000, 1800, 3200, 4300, 5500
Purple Orbs: These can only purchased from the time statues. Each one that
you buy will add a rune to your DT gauge. You can buy up to seven, so your DT
gauge can reach a maximum of ten runes. The prices are:
440, 830, 1560, 2920, 5440, 6340, 7740
Mission Rankings
=================
Once you complete a mission, you will get a Devil Hunter Ranking. The ranking
ranges from D, C, B, A, and finally, S. A Red Orb bonus is given depending on
your rank. Here are the bonuses you can get for your rank:
Missions 1-8: D=50, C=100, B=200, A=400, S=800
Missions 9-15: D=100, C=200, B=350, A=800, S=1500
Missions 16-22: D=100, C=250, B=500, A=1000, S=2000
Mission 23: D=250, C=500, B=1000, A=2000, S=3000
So what determines your rank? There are several different factors. Your rank
is determined by a point system. The points that you receive are based on
time taken, red orbs collected, damage taken, item usage, and secret mission
completion. What follows is how points are scored in each category. This
applies to Normal Mode:
TIME
Each mission has a target time:
Mission 1: 6:00
Mission 2: 7:00
Mission 3: 3:00
Mission 4: 4:00
Mission 5: 2:00
Mission 6: 3:30
Mission 7: 3:00
Mission 8: 3:00
Mission 9: 8:00
Mission 10: 4:30
Mission 11: 5:30
Mission 12: 4:00
Mission 13: 2:30
Mission 14: 5:00
Mission 15: 10:00
Mission 16: 6:00
Mission 17: 7:00
Mission 18: 6:00
Mission 19: 3:30
Mission 20: 4:30
Mission 21: 5:00
Mission 22: 5:00
Mission 23: 7:00
The number of points you get changes depending on how long you took in
relation to the target times.
Finished under the target: 500 points
Finished 30 seconds or less above target: 300
Finished 2 minutes or less above target: 200
Finished 5 minutes or less above target: 100
Finished more than 5 minutes over target: 0
RED ORBS COLLECTED
As with the time factor, each mission has a target number of Red Orbs
attached to it:
Mission 1: 400
Mission 2: 450
Mission 3: 550
Mission 4: 550
Mission 5: 100
Mission 6: 250
Mission 7: 650
Mission 8: 585
Mission 9: 1500
Mission 10: 600
Mission 11: 1000
Mission 12: 700
Mission 13: 200
Mission 14: 500
Mission 15: 1400
Mission 16: 1000
Mission 17: 600
Mission 18: 900
Mission 19: 500
Mission 20: 700
Mission 21: 700
Mission 22: 0
Mission 23: 600
The percentage of Red Orbs you get in relation to the targets determines how
many ranking points you get:
Over target: 500
80% of target: 300
50% of target: 200
30% of target: 100
Under 30% of target: 0
DAMAGE TAKEN
The amount of damage you take is also a factor. The less damage you take, the
more points you get.
No damage at all: 500
5 life bar or less: 300
Between .5 and 1 life bar: 200
Between 1 and 1.5 life bar: 100
More than 1.5 life bar: 0
1 life bar is a complete bar, the longest it can get before it switches to
the other life bar.
ITEM USAGE
Using items will subtract points from your score:
Vital Star: -300
Devil Star: -100
Yellow Orb: -300
Holy Water: -100
Untouchable: -500
SECRET MISSION COMPLETION
Completing secret missions will take extra time, but doing so results in
bonus points for your ranking:
Critical Hit: 200
Phantom Baby: 100
Phantom Baby II: 100
The Three Beasts: 100
One-Eyed Evil: 200
Wandering Ghosts: 200
Water Cell: 200
Treasure of the Reaper: 200
Stairway to Tranquility: 100
Shadows in the Dark: 200
Blue Gem in the Sky: 100
Hidden Bangle: 200
Once the game totals up your points, it will determine your ranking using
this chart:
Less than 0: D
0-499: C
500-799: B
800-999: A
1000-1500: S
If you get over 1500 points, you will receive a Special Bonus of 2000 Red
Orbs.
There are also three other factors that can change your ranking:
-If you enter a room more than once, you will lose some points. This does not
apply if you HAVE to enter a room multiple times.
-If you leave a room while enemies are alive, you will lose points.
-In Mission 5, if the Melancholy Soul runs out of energy before you reach the
exit, you are docked off a whole letter grade.
Red Orb Cache Locations
=================
In a lot of the areas of the game, you can stand or jump to certain areas and
a cache of Red Orbs will appear for you. Here are all of the known ones:

Other Important Things
=================
Time Statues: Littered throughout the game are time statues. Accessing these
allow you to purchase items or special skills.
Taunting: Taunting the enemy not only gives you more Red Orbs when they are
defeated but it also raises your DT gauge. Try taunting enemies when you are
surrounded for a huge DT boost. There are two taunts: the one-handed and two-
handed. The one-handed taunt is used by simply hitting R2. The two-handed
taunt is used by tapping R2 sharply and quickly. The two-handed taunt takes
longer but gives you twice as much DT.
Hidden orbs: There are orbs hidden within various objects, such as debris or
furniture. Dante can smash stuff both with his fists or with a sword. If you
see something suspicious, see if you can destroy it.
Sealed Doors: Some doors will seal themselves, indicated by the many skulls
wavering around on it. Approach the door and a hand will come out to grab
you. Usually, you must defeat all enemies in a room to unseal a door. There
are also red sealed doors that require Red Orbs to open.
Damage Clocks: These are dial objects with rune symbols on them. Strike them
repeatedly with a Devil Arm to activate them.
Combo ratings: When fighting enemies, you will notice words appearing next to
your life gauge. These indicate how good your combos are. The ratings will
increase if you attack enemies consecutively with little time in between
hits. Even shots from Firearms count as hits in a combo. The ratings go from
Dull, Cool, Bravo, Absolute, and Stylish. A higher rating results in more Red
Orbs when the enemy in question is defeated.
Red Orb Fountains: There are a few of these to find in the game. When you
strike one with a Devil Arm, it will release Red Orbs. Keep hitting it to
gain more orbs. Eventually, the fountain will break after you start hitting
it, so you must hit it as much as possible. I find Sword Combo 2 to be most
lucrative.
=============================================================================
6. Enemies
The enemies in this game range from very easy to very hard. All enemies have
some sort of attack pattern and you will be one step ahead of the battle if
you know what attacks the enemy will throw at you and how to dodge them. Some
weapons are more effective than others, so change weapons when the situation
demands it.
Lesser Enemies
=================
Marionettes: These puppets are very slow to move and attack but are
considerably toughened on higher difficulty levels. You can destroy them
quite easily with any weapon. There are different colors of Marionettes and
they have varying levels of stamina.
Attacks
-Blade Swipe: The Marionette will slash with it's blade. Very easy to see
coming.
-Spin: The Marionette will spin around and try to crash into Dante. Counter
this by attacking it with something that pushes it back.
-Grab: The Marionette grabs Dante and slash at his neck. Wiggle the analog
stick to free yourself. Very rare.
-Long Range Attack: Marionettes have three different attacks. Some throw
darts in a straight direction, some throw their blades which return to
throwers like boomerangs, and some are equipped with shotguns. All are easy
to dodge with a well-timed jump, though the shotgun blasts can damage or even
kill other Marionettes. Marionettes will make a distinct twirling noise with
their wrists when they are about to attack.
-War Cry: The Marionette will scream which causes Dante to get stuck in the
air. Wiggle the analog stick to free yourself. If you don't, you will be hit
hard with a blade swipe.
Bloody Mari: These are red Marionettes. They have the same attacks but they
pack more punch and they can take a lot more abuse. Note that they can also
block gunshots and melee attacks. In the case of the latter, they will
counter with a Blade Swipe.
Sin Scissors: These evil spirits wear masks and use scissors as their
weapons. Firearms are very effective against them. You need to destroy their
masks to put them down for good. The Shotgun does this very well. Close range
blasts will also stun the Sin Scissors, so if you run up and fire at close
range, you will inflict a critical hit, killing the Sin Scissors instantly.
It's also possible to kick jump off their masks and unlike regular kick
jumps, you can do it repeatedly off of multiple Sin Scissors. When you kill
one, its scissors will fly up in the air and back down. Stay away from the
spot where they died in order to avoid being hit.
-Cut: A simple cut with the scissors. Very frequent attack.
-Spin: They close their scissors and spin it around. If you attack with a
melee weapon, they will block it with their scissors but they will use this
attack if you don't give them a chance to open their scissors.
Sin Scythe: These are the same as the Sin Scissors only they use scythes.
-Swipe: A simple swipe with the scythe.
-Round Trip: The scythe is thrown like a boomerang. Whether it hits you or
not, you have to be careful to avoid it on the return.
-Impale: Get hit this attack, and you're in for some damage! Avoid it at all
costs.
-Umbrella: If Dante touches it, he will get stuck to the ground. They only
use it they are high above you and you keep trying to jump at them.
Beelzebub: These are insect creatures. They are very easy to destroy; often,
a single Shotgun blast will do the trick. The ground types and flying types
have different properties.
-Maggot Spray: The flying types will spray some disgusting crap all over you.
It will mess up Dante's aim, so your Firearms are temporarily useless. They
will also do this if you kill them with a Devil Arm.
-Clobber: The ground types will rise up and attack Dante with their legs.
Easy to avoid with a simple roll or jump.
-Spine Crush: If Dante's back is turned, the ground types will try to bend
him backwards. Wiggle the left analog stick to free yourself.
-Power Up: When the flying types are killed, the ground types will try to
feed on their bodies. If they do, they get more strength and vitality.
Blade: Blades are reptilian monsters that have a taste for blood. They come
equipped with armor, so breaking it is your first priority. Jump attacks,
Stinger, and Kick 13 work well to destroy it. After that, you can pound on
them with whatever means necessary. They are very fast and agile so you have
to be quick on your feet as well. The Grenade Gun works wonders against them.
Note that the bigger black Blades have more stamina.
-Claw Swipe: The Blade will swipe with it's claws. Sometimes it hesitates for
moment up close, other times it jumps in the air and tries to slash you. You
can counter the close swipes but you're better off dodging the jump attacks.
-Blood Needle: The Blade will pressurize its own blood and fire needles at
you. They almost never use this on land but it is their only attack in water.
-Power Up: If Dante's life gauge turns red, all Blades will gain an increase
in speed and power. Very dangerous.
Fetish: These are similar to the Marionettes but much more powerful. They use
fire as a means of attack and their attacks cause much more damage. Note that
Fetishes have a tendency to counter your attacks more often. Firearms are
very effective against them.
-Blade Swipe: The Fetish takes a swipe with its blade, followed by a stab
with its other blade.
-Flamethrower: The Fetish will bend backwards before doing this attack, so if
you see this, get out of the way quickly. When a Fetish blocks your attack,
it will counter with Flamethrower with deceptively fast speed.
-Flame Yo-yo: The Fetish will throw out its dual yo-yos and cause them to
return. Luckily, they only travel in one direction, so if you dodge it, you
need only stay out of the path you were in when it returns.
-Grab: Like the Marionettes, the Fetish will grab Dante and slash at his
neck. Wiggle the analog stick to free yourself.
Plasma: These electrical entities are a real pain. They can mimic Dante and
split their body when they are about to die in order to spawn more Plasmas.
It bat form, Firearms work well, but in Dante form, you should use a Devil
Arm as they dodge firearms more often. In Dante form, you must kill them in
rapid succession, otherwise they will split and two more Plasmas will emerge,
fully healed. Note that Alastor only causes half damage and Nightmare Beta
does not hurt them at all.
-Laser: The bat forms will fire lasers in a vertical pattern. Keep running to
avoid it.
-Projectile: The bats also fire some sort of strange looking projectile. It
travels very fast and is difficult to dodge.
-Laser 2: In Dante form, the Plasma will fire a laser horizontally. Easily
dodged with a jump.
-Combo Attacks: Plasmas will mimic Dante's attacks. Some will use sword
combos, others will punch and kick. Aerial attacks are effective for
countering them.
Frost: Frosts are just like Blades except they use the power of ice. Frosts
are very dangerous as their attacks often cause a lot of damage. The best way
to eliminate them is with Ifrit. Ifrit causes double damage and is the only
weapon that can knock Frosts around. Alastor and Firearms DO hurt them but
they will not show any sings of injury.
-Claw Swipe: Same as the Blades.
-Ice Spear: Several ice spears will appear and fly towards you. Dodge them by
jumping or rolling.
-Ice Gun: Frosts will fire ice projectiles at you rapidly. Dodge carefully as
one hit could lead to more hits.
-Frost Nova: Similar to Dante's Inferno, the Frost will jump up and slam the
ground, causing a wall of ice to erupt and expand in all directions. If you
see a Frost jump straight up, get away from it quickly. Frosts tend to use
this attack a lot.
-Frost Crawler: If you are at a distance, the Frosts will launch waves of ice
that travel along the ground, tracking you. When they reach you, the explode
into a wall of ice. These are hard to dodge, so you should stay near the
Frosts.
-Ice Recover: When a Frost is severely wounded, it will encase itself in an
ice cube and recover life. Bash it quickly to stop its recovery.
-Teleport: The Frost will break itself down and shoot to a part of the room
in pieces where it reforms.
Nobody: They are not worthy of real names, so they are called Nobodies. These
are actually very difficult enemies to kill. The best way to kill them is
with repeated grenade gun shots. It takes quite a few to kill them, so be
prepared for a long fight. When a Nobody dies, its body will explode with
toxic flesh flying around. Stay away from the body.
-Punch: A simple punch.
-Mask: Nobodies will put on masks which increase their size and strength. If
you break the mask with Stinger or Kick 13, they will shrink again.
-Grab: The Nobody uses its third arm to grab Dante and smash him on the
ground.
-Dance: Drains your DT gauge.
-Eyeball: The Nobody's eyeball falls to the ground and explodes if Dante
touches it. Sometimes, the Nobody will pick up the eyeball and throw it at
you.
-Jump Kick: A powerful jump kick that sends Dante across the room. Nobodies
tend to counter your sword attacks with this a lot. If you knock a Nobody to
the ground, refrain from following up, otherwise it will dodge your next
attack and counter with the jump kick.
Greater Enemies
=================
Shadow: The most well-known enemy in the game, it seems. Shadows are tougher
than they look and they are quite abundant on Hard and DMD. Note that melee
attacks do not hurt Shadows at all. You need to shoot the Shadow with a
Firearm until its core is exposed. Attack the core with a Devil Arm to finish
it off. However, getting the core to come out can be a real pain.
-Spin Slam: The Shadow jumps in the air, changes into an axe, and flies down
towards Dante. Very damaging and deceptively accurate.
-Head Thrust: The Shadow's head turns into a spear and thrusts forward. If
you can jump on the spear, the Shadow is paralyzed and you can shoot at the
core.
-Spike Barrage: The Shadow melts into a puddle and spikes shoot up from the
floor. Just run in any direction to avoid it.
-Devour: The Shadow becomes a huge mouth and tries to swallow Dante. Easy to
see coming.
-Kamikaze: When a Shadow is about to die, it will use Devour. If it catches
you, it will slam you around twice and then explode, causing tons of damage
to you.
Shadows can be defeated by using the Handguns. Blast away and watch its
movements. It will either use its Spin Slam or Head Thrust to attack you at
first but sometimes it will melt into a puddle and move towards you. When
that happens, wait until it's right next to you and then jump. The Shadow
will try Devour but if you jump, you can avoid it and pump a ton of lead into
the Shadow while you're in air. Once the core is revealed, it will use Spike
Barrage to defend itself but it can't hurt you if you are close enough. Use
Stinger to deal three hits in row with one use. A few Stingers should be
enough to destroy it, even less if you are in DT mode. When the Shadow turns
red, it will chase you around trying to use Kamikaze. Just avoid it until it
explodes. For multiple Shadows, try focusing on just one at a time.
Sargasso: These skull beings are quite easy to defeat and you don't see them
hardly at all throughout the game. Just about any weapon will work but sword
weapons work best because of Stinger. Note that you cannot harm any Sargassos
until you are close to them.
-Bite: Tries to bite you. Easy to dodge.
-Spray: An annoying attack used only if you let a Sargasso live too long. It
sprays some kind of substance everywhere and it's hard to dodge. Just run
away and wait for it to finish the attack.
When you encounter them, just run and Stinger them to death. They are very
easy kill.
Death Scissors: A high ranked evil spirit, the Death Scissors are not seen
often but you will hate fighting them. They close you up in a cage which
limits your fighting space. They have some killer attacks so kill them as
quickly as you can.
-Scissor Chop: It will close its scissors three times in quick succession.
Just stay out of the way.
-Scissor Spin: It spins its scissors a few times. It has a wide arc, so the
attack is difficult to dodge and hurts quite a bit.
-Drill: An annoying attack, the Death Scissors spins around, using its
scissors as a drill. It will make a few passes, going through walls and
floors, to try and hit you. It's best to avoid it by wall jumping or timing
rolls.
To defeat these things, you need to jump and use an aerial attack (Alastor
preferred). Dodge its attacks and strike whenever you can. When you deal a
hit, its head turns red and you cannot hurt it. It will use its Drill attack
before going back to its normal attack pattern. Again, pound on it quickly;
don't give it a chance to attack you. If it blocks your attack, jump back up
and try again. It takes surprisingly little damage before it dies, so press
the attack and you should do fine.
Kyklops: These spiders are similar to Phantom but not nearly as powerful.
They can jump long distances and their armor makes them impervious to your
attacks.
-Jump: The Kyklops jumps up and attempts to smash Dante. Easy to avoid with a
jump.
-Claw: If you are in front of the Kyklops or if it charges forward with its
claws in front of its face, it will use this attack.
-Rock Throw: They will also spit rocks out in a cone shape in front of them.
Easy to see coming because they jump to face you. A Kyklops can hurt or even
kill another Kyklops with this attack.
The face and back are the only weak points. Its advisable to use Alastor
because the aerial attack goes straight down, so you just need to aim for the
top of the body. Don't go crazy with trying to bash them, though. They tend
to jump around a lot, so be ready to avoid it at all times. Air Raid is VERY
effective against them.
Death Scythe: The most powerful of the Sins, the Death Scythe is a dangerous
foe. It doesn't lock you in a cage but the sheer power of its attacks means
you still have your work cut out for you.
-Slash: A simple slash with a scythe.
-Impale: Rarely used, Dante gets impaled on a scythe for big damage.
-Round Trip: Just like the Sin Scythe's Round Trip, only more powerful.
-Tornado: You will see the Death Scythe place small circles on the ground.
Step on one and you will be propelled straight up in the air. You can jump
again while in the air, but the Death Scythe will rush up and slash you while
you're stuck. Sometimes you can get hit by multiple tornados. How you use
this altitude is up to you.
-Scythe Grab: When the Death Scythe is almost dead, it will call more
scythes. After this it can attack with brutal combos that result in a TON of
damage.
Again, aerial attacks with Alastor to the head are most effective. Sometimes,
the Death Scythe will rush up and slash you. Jump away to avoid it and then
jump back and attack for an easy hit. It's really a matter of avoiding the
tornados and waiting for a good chance to attack. If you see it call for more
scythes, QUICKLY hit it once more to kill it. If you fail, it will start
using some nasty scythe combos. Avoid this at all costs.
=============================================================================
7. Blue Orb Piece Locations
While I've highlighted the locations of all Blue Orb Fragments in the
walkthrough, this handy list can be consulted if there is a specific piece
you're after and you don't want to skim through the guide. Note that your
prize for completing a secret mission is a Blue Orb Fragment, so those are
listed as well.
Mission 1:
As you're running up the long path at the beginning, jump to the small bridge
above you and enter the pavilion to the left.
In the main hall, use a kick jump from the floor to reach the caged ledge to
the left.

Beta on it to make the fragment appear. If you get the Nightmare Beta before
doing this, the piece will not appear.
Before fighting Griffon, go to the upper level of the coliseum and run to the
center of the long ledge connecting the sides of the area.
Mission 16:

In the mirror world, go to the ledge that had the Untouchable. Jump off the
edge to reach the fragment floating in the air.
After getting the previous fragment, another one will appear in the cone
shaped tower. Requires Air Raid or Air Hike.
Mission 21:
Secret Mission: Hidden Bangle (this is a full Blue Orb)
=============================================================================
8. Secret Missions
Scattered throughout the regular 23 missions of the game are 12 secret
missions. They are purely optional but necessary if you want all of the Blue
Orbs. To activate them, you need to enter certain areas at certain times.
Once the mission is activated, you will be given a special task. You can try
the missions as many times as you like but there are a couple that can only
be attempted once.
Critical Hit
=================
Objective: Kill the lone Sin Scissors with a single Shotgun blast.
When: Mission 3, after defeating Phantom. Return to the broken bridge and
jump in the water.
This one is a real pain. In order to do it correctly, you need to fire a
close range blast to stun the Sin Scissors. You'll know you've done it right
when it pulls back and loses grip on its scissors. Here's the hard part: You
have to rush up and deliver another close range blast. When I say close
range, I mean CLOSE RANGE. I'm talking "shotgun sticking out the back of its
head" close range. If it doesn't die, you will fail. I find it easier if you
jump towards the Sin Scissors after the first blast and then fire the second
just before you touch the ground.
Phantom Baby
=================
Objective: Kill 100 Phantom Babies within the time limit.
When: Right when Mission 4 begins, turn around and go back into the hall
where you fought Phantom.
There are four bunches of these critters in the corners of the room. Stomp
and shoot as many as you can. It's harder than it looks. The easiest way of
winning is to simply use a Holy Water.
Phantom Baby II
=================
Objective: Kill 100 Phantom Babies within the time limit without using
weapons.
When: Mission 4, after encountering Phantom in the corridor, go into the Time
Statue room.
This time, you have stomp 100 of them. Luckily, this area is very small so
it's easier than it seems. You can also try to DT with Alastor to take
advantage of the speed boost.
The Three Beasts
=================
Objective: Defeat the three Shadows. YOU HAVE ONLY ONE SHOT AT THIS.
When: Mission 4 after defeating the first Shadow. Go back to the arena
beneath the biplane room.
If you're ill-prepared, you will never win this fight. Focus on one Shadow at
a time. Don't force yourself into a three on one situation. If you attack a
Shadow, it will come after you but the other two will just mope around unless
you bring any combat close to them. Once a core is exposed, get very close
and hack away at it. You MUST get close, otherwise Dante will target the
other Shadows. Once one goes down, the fight will get much more manageable.
If you lose, you must reset if you want to try again. If you find yourself
losing repeatedly, get some Red Orbs and buy Blue Orbs, Vital Stars, or even
Untouchables if you want.
One-Eyed Evil
=================
Objective: Trick one Kyklops into killing the other.
When: Mission 7. Go into the room where you found the Rusty Key.
The rock attack is the only thing they use to hurt each other. They will jump
around a lot and your life is still draining, so you have to be quick to coax
them into killing each other. Try moving so that one is always behind the
other. The word "Cool" appears if one hits the other. Avoid their jumping and
focus on positioning yourself so that they have to hit each in other to hit
you.
Wandering Ghosts
=================
Objective: Get the Blue Orb fragment by jumping off the Sin Scissors.
When: Right at the beginning of Mission 11, turn around and go back outside.
This isn't too hard. A gaggle of Sin Scissors will float underneath the
fragment, so jump up into them and kick off their masks. Air Hike really
helps here because you can use it in conjunction with kick jumps off of
enemies.
Water Cell
=================
Objective: Kill all 8 Blades.
When: After completing Mission 13, go back inside the ship to the captain's
cabin. Examine the skeleton to start the mission.
Here, you just need to swim around shooting all the Blades. Listen for the
sounds they make to know when one is firing at you. After killing three or
four, the fight becomes much easier.
Treasure of the Reaper
=================
Objective: Kill the three Shadows.
When: When Mission 15 begins go all the way back to the spike corridor in
Mission 14. Examine the carving on the wall.
Another multiple Shadow fight. This one is in close quarters but one of the
Shadows will not activate until you get close to it. Go down the hallway so
you can take down two of the Shadows easily and then go after the third.
Stairway to Tranquility
=================
Objective: Get the Blue Orb piece by jumping off of the Sargassos.
When: After defeating Nightmare in Mission 16, go back to the coliseum.
Alignment is everything. The Sargassos won't hurt you so need to make a
series of kick jumps up the "stairs" to reach the Blue Orb fragment. Again,
Air Hike makes this MUCH easier.
Shadows in the Dark
=================
Objective: Find and defeat all four Shadows.
When: After defeating Nightmare in Mission 16, go back to the biplane room.
The biplane room has two Shadows, one of them hiding on the wing of the
plane. The next room has a Shadow in it. The Main Hall has the last Shadow;
he's hiding on the caged ledge to the left of the stairs. Nothing too
difficult.
Blue Gem in the Sky
=================
Objective: Get the Blue Orb fragment floating in the sky. YOU ONLY HAVE ONE
SHOT AT THIS.
When: At the beginning of Mission 17, go back to the broken bridge. Jump on
the first piece of the bridge and make your way across. When you get to the
other side, make sure you step on the last piece of the bridge before jumping
to the other side, otherwise the mission does not start. If you fall in the
water, you must reset.
This mission is either EXTREMELY difficult or EXTREMELY easy. You can get
that piece floating over the bridge by using the tornados provided by the
Death Scythe. It's very difficult simply because of the unpredictability of
those things. The easy way requires Air Hike and Air Raid. Climb atop the
ledge above the door and DT. Use Air Hike and jump straight up as high as
possible. At the apex of your leap, hit R1 and fly out to the fragment.
Hidden Bangle
=================
Objective: Get the Bangle of Time.
When: Mission 21. Examine the wall opposite the Time Statue and you will slip
into a hidden passageway.
Follow the path, killing the Nobodies and taking the full Blue Orb. Make sure
you don't go in circles. In the next room, there is a dragon. Use the Red Orb
fountain and climb up the ledges until you're face to face with it. It will
breathe fire on your ledge at regular intervals. Attack it with Sparda until
it is about to breathe fire, and then jump to a previous ledge to avoid it.
When the dragon dies, a pair of Frosts appear on the ground below. Kill them,
and floating platforms appear near the ceiling of the room. Climb the ledges
and use the platforms to reach the last ledge. Take the Bangle of Time and
the mission ends.
=============================================================================
9. Walkthrough
This is a walkthrough for Normal Mode. Hard and DMD follow the same route but
the only difference is that stronger enemies appear earlier so I'm not going
to write a whole walkthrough for those modes. Just keep in mind that Hard and
DMD offer difficult challenges so make sure you're prepared before you try
them. Let's get started!
(scene) We get some info about what's going on. Sparda, the legendary dark
knight, has vanquished the forces of evil. However, they will return.
A street in a city. A woman flies down from the air and lands on the street.
She heads for the "Devil May Cry" office.
Dante sits behind his desk, mumbling about bad business is. Suddenly, the
woman bursts through the wall on a motorcycle. Completely ignoring the
extremity of her entrance, Dante exchanges a few words with the woman.
Suddenly, she attacks him and kicks him to the ground before throwing the
sword and impaling Dante with it. She then tries to crush Dante with the
motorcycle but Dante repels it with his handguns. Dante figures he's getting
close to his revenge. The woman reveals herself as Trish. She tells Dante
about Mundus, the emperor of the underworld, and how is going to open a gate
on Mallet Island. Upon arriving, Dante busts the door open and Trish tell him
to follow her up to the castle.
MISSION 1: CURSE OF THE BLOODY PUPPETS
"Break the evil spell and open the cursed door."
You begin on a long path. Run down the path, taking the Yellow Orb to the
left as you go. You can jump onto the bridge above you and enter the pavilion
for a Blue Orb fragment. Go to the end of the path where you find an entrance
to the castle.
In the Main Hall, go around and find the Red Orbs. You need at least 45 to
open the door. There are orbs on the second and third levels, so don't forget
about them. You can trigger an Orb cache by jumping to the very tip of the
spear held by the central horseman statue. There is also a Blue Orb fragment
in the caged ledge to the left of the stairs. The time statue on the second
level will not activate until you break the curse, so you go the red door on
the first level and use 45 Red Orbs to open it.
In the water room, smash the suits of armor to get another Blue Orb fragment.
Go through the door.
In this room, smash the furniture and head up the stairs to the next level. A
Marionette sits here but it won't attack you now. You can go through the door
here but it leads to the Trident room, a room we can't do anything in right
now. However, there is Blue Orb fragment in the pool of water to the left of
the Trident receptacle. There is a hole in the ceiling near the Marionette.
Climb up into it and take the Rusty Key from the Bloody Mari. As you leave,
it comes to life and another Marionette appears behind you. Kill them and the
one in the room below you, and then head back to the Main Hall.
To the left of the door you came out of, is another door. Open it with the
Rusty Key and go inside.
In here, the exit is sealed and you have to kill some Marionettes to open it.
There is a Red Orb cache you can get by on top of the plane's propeller.
There is also a Blue Orb fragment on the plane's upper wing. Hit the damage
clock in the corner of the room to activate the elevator, which takes you to
an arena.
Here, head out to the center and kill the group of Marionettes. When you do,
the three doors open and six more Marionettes come after you. When you kill
them, the elevator comes back. Killing the last Marionette also nets you a
Green Orb.
Back in the plane room, more Marionettes become active. After killing them,
the door unseals. Go through to finish the mission.
MISSION 2: JUDGE OF DEATH
"Open the door of the cathedral."
Immediately, you have fight some Marionettes in the long hallway. Kill the
ones on your left first. You can enter the room here but it is a time statue
room. You can smash the furniture to the left of the statue for a Blue Orb
fragment. Continue along the hallway, killing the Marionettes. Ignore the
first door and proceed onto the end of the hall. Examine the sword sticking
out of the wall.
(scene) The sword flies out and impales Dante on the ground. However, he
manages to pull himself off the sword. He grabs the sword and electricity
shoots up and blows out the ceiling window. Alastor is now yours.
The Marionettes will become easier to fight with Alastor. Enter the door
which leads to the library. Smash the any furniture you see, including in the
table on the second floor, which holds the Shotgun. Examine the picture on
the wall and take the Rusty Key. Return to the corridor.
Use the Rusty Key to go through the door you ignored earlier. In the fountain
room, you will have to fight some Marionettes. You can also jump on top of
the fountain for a Red Orb cache. After killing the Marionettes, go to the
upper level and enter the door to the right of the barrier.
In here, kill the Marionettes and go to the alter object. Attack it with your
sword to push it aside, revealing a trap door.
The trap door deposits you in a hidden room in the Library. Take the Staff of
Judgment and a door opens, letting you back into the main library room. When
you try to leave, the picture comes to life and several Sin Scissor appear.
Take them out and leave.
Back out in the corridor, kill the small spiders on the ground if you want
and examine the wall where you got Alastor, which has become a carving of the
judge of death. Use the Staff of Judgment to finish the mission.
MISSION 3: DESTROYER OR ARDOR
"Overcome the trial and acquire the 'Pride of Lion.'"
As you enter the cathedral, the doors will seal. Run up to the Pride of Lion
sitting on the altar and examine it. This will open the door directly
opposite you, which leads to a bridge.
Cross the bridge and examine the stone at the end. There are some Red Orbs
here but if you ignore them now, they will be worth much more when you return
here later. Head back across the bridge. About halfway across, Dante is
apparently struck by a lightning bolt and the bridge shatters into a bunch of
pieces, sending Dante into the water below.
Down here, your life will constantly decrease (but stops short of killing
you). Run into the center of the next chamber and you will have to fight
several Sargassos. After killing them, pick up the Green Orb and step on the
light column to be teleported back to the other side of the bridge. You can
cross back over the bridge once again to get a Blue Orb piece next to the
stone you read. You can also jump to a ledge above the door and Stinger off
the edge. Dante will leap to a piece of the bridge suspended in the air for
another Blue Orb piece. Head back to the cathedral when you're ready.
In the cathedral, the barrier surrounding the Pride of Lion dissipates, so
you're free to take it. Do so and you will be attacked by the first boss,
Phantom.
BOSS: Phantom
This giant magma spider/scorpion is the easiest boss but he quite difficult
on higher levels. He has armor that covers just about every part of his body.
The vulnerable spots are the front and top. Most of his attacks come from his
front, so it is unwise to run and hack away at his face. Take the fight to
the air by jumping using a sword attack on his back. This causes decent
damage and if you aim correctly, you can stand there and attack with a couple
more slashes or the Shotgun. After taking some damage, Phantom will rear up
and be momentarily invincible. If you are standing on his back, you will
thrown off (but unhurt). Keep attacking him with those jump attacks; they are
very effective. Use your DT whenever possible. If you have Air Raid, you can
kill him with it by simply shooting his armor over and over to raise your DT
and then using Air Raid. Repeat this over and over for an easy win.
Note that Phantom will protect his face if you shoot there. He usually puts
his claws in front of his face and rushes towards you. If he does this,
simply move out of the way. You'll Phantom is going to attack when he quickly
jumps to face you. Here are his attacks:
-Claw Swipe: Uses it when you are very close to him. Stay away from his face.
-Meteor: Phantom will fire a meteor from his mouth. You can easily dodge it
with a roll but you can also use this against him. Attack his exposed mouth
at the proper moment and the meteor will explode in his mouth. You can also
reflect his meteor back at him with a sword slash but this requires precise
timing.
-Lava Pillar: Phantom sticks his head in the ground and summons lava pillars.
Simply run in any direction to avoid them.
-Jump: Phantom leaps into the air and attempts to squash Dante. Avoid by
jumping in any direction.
-Tail Stab: Used very rarely, Phantom will only try if you continually stay
out of his range. It's easy to see coming as Phantom pauses for several
seconds.
After Phantom dies, you can go out the way you came in to finish the mission.
However, you may want to try your hand at the first secret mission.
----------------------------------SECRET MISSION-----------------------------
CRITICAL HIT
Objective: Kill the lone Sin Scissors with a single Shotgun blast.
When: Mission 3, after defeating Phantom. Return to the broken bridge and
jump in the water.
This one is a real pain. In order to do it correctly, you need to fire a
close range blast to stun the Sin Scissors. You'll know you've done it right
when it pulls back and loses grip on its scissors. Here's the hard part: You
have to rush up and deliver another close range blast. When I say close
range, I mean CLOSE RANGE. I'm talking "shotgun sticking out the back of its
head" close range. If it doesn't die, you will fail. I find it easier if you
jump towards the Sin Scissors after the first blast and then fire the second
just before you touch the ground.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
MISSION 4: BLACK KNIGHT
"Display one's strength to the lion and open the path. Acquire the
'Melancholy Soul.'"
Right at the beginning of the mission, you can do a secret mission.
----------------------------------SECRET MISSION-----------------------------
PHANTOM BABY
Objective: Kill 100 Phantom Babies within the time limit.
When: Right when Mission 4 begins, turn around and go back into the hall
where you fought Phantom.
There are four bunches of these critters in the corners of the room. Stomp
and shoot as many as you can. It's harder than it looks. The easiest way of
winning is to simply use a Holy Water.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
As you head down the corridor, you are attacked by Phantom again.
BOSS: Phantom
This time, you need to run away from Phantom as he chases you, shooting
fireballs. Jump over the fireballs and get to the end of the corridor. If you
don't want to fight, you can simply go through any door. If you do fight,
attack him with your sword and jump his fireballs by using a kick jump.
Sometimes, he will use a claw swipe. If you DT with Alastor, kick jump, and
use an aerial attack, you can knock off about one quarter of his health.
REALLY CHEAP TRICK: If you want to be about as cheap as you can get, kill
Phantom here and collect his 500 Red Orbs. Now, save your game, quit, and
start again. Now you can kill Phantom over and over for a TON of Red Orbs;
you can have all of the Alastor skills at this early stage of the game!
Whether you fight Phantom or not, you can do a secret mission. You MUST enter
the time statue room before going to any other room to activate this mission.
----------------------------------SECRET MISSION-----------------------------
PHANTOM BABY II
Objective: Kill 100 Phantom Babies within the time limit without using
weapons.
When: Mission 4, after encountering Phantom in the corridor, go into the Time
Statue room.
This time, you have stomp 100 of them. Luckily, this area is very small so
it's easier than it seems. You can also try to DT with Alastor to take
advantage of the speed boost.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Head back to the fountain room and approach the barrier so you can use the
Pride of Lion. Slash the lion statue several times and a Shadow attacks you.
(Note: On Hard or DMD, you will fight a Death Scissors instead of a Shadow).
Kill the Shadow, and the door above will open.
----------------------------------SECRET MISSION-----------------------------
THE THREE BEASTS
Objective: Defeat the three Shadows. YOU HAVE ONLY ONE SHOT AT THIS.
When: Mission 4 after defeating the first Shadow. Go back to the arena
beneath the biplane room.
If you're ill-prepared, you will never win this fight. Focus on one Shadow at
a time. Don't force yourself into a three on one situation. If you attack a
Shadow, it will come after you but the other two will just mope around unless
you bring any combat close to them. Once a core is exposed, get very close
and hack away at it. You MUST get close, otherwise Dante will target the
other Shadows. Once one goes down, the fight will get much more manageable.
If you lose, you must reset if you want to try again. If you find yourself
losing repeatedly, get some Red Orbs and buy Blue Orbs, Vital Stars, or even
Untouchables if you want.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Going through the door, you will be in a large vertical room. Take out the
Marionettes and climb the stairs. Jump to the ledge jutting out from the wall
and grab the Death Sentence. You can fall to the bottom of the chamber but
there is nothing down the now. Hit the damage clock and step on the circular
floor tile and a pillar will bring you back to the upper level (there is
wreckage blocking the stairs). With the Death Sentence in hand, go into the
door just underneath the ledge where you got it.
In the bedroom, there is a time statue for any last-minute preparations, as a
boss is coming up. Use the Death Sentence on the female statue and you will
get the Melancholy Soul. However, Dante's reflection steps out of the mirror
and reveals itself as a black knight. It beckons Dante to follow it.
Head out through the doors and jump down to the courtyard to fight the boss.
BOSS: Nelo Angelo
The first fight with this guy is not very difficult. Nelo can only be hurt
when his guard is down. You cannot simply run up and attack him. You need to
wait for him to attack, dodge it, and then hit him while he taunts you. If
you clash swords, he will immediately counter with a special combo. Note that
when he places his sword in front of him, you can bash it with your own
sword, though too many hits will cause him to counter with some nasty
attacks. Throughout the fight, he will teleport to different areas each time
you take a third of his health. You can also go to the highest ledge you
fight him on and use a kick jump to reach a high ledge near a cone shaped
tower. There is an Untouchable here. You can also DT and fly over to the
tower to get a Blue Orb piece. Here are Nelo's attacks:
-Stinger: A longer ranged version of your Stinger. It's easy to see coming
but sometimes he will rush up and initiate a different attack instead.
-Wide Slash: A slow move at first but it covers a VERY wide area in front of
him. Roll to avoid it.
-4 Stroke Pattern: This combo is similar to one of yours only much slower and
it doesn't have the last hit. He only does it when you get close to him and
he announces it by holding his sword for a second. Beware the range.
-Fireball: He will charge up a fireball and launch it at you. If you're
quick, you can run and jump over his fireball and use an aerial attack.
-Teleport: Nelo will teleport around the fighting area but he has an annoying
habit of teleporting right next to you.
-High Time: Just like your High Time. He uses it rarely, though.
-Counter Upper Guard Stance: One of his counter moves, Nelo is slow to
execute it but it causes a ton of damage.
-Counter Combo: Another countering move, Nelo makes a fast horizontal slash
followed by High Time if you are standing too close.
Once you kill Nelo, a cool scene takes place in which Nelo literally beats
the crap out of Dante. However, he sees Dante's pendant and for some reason,
he screams and disappears.
MISSION 5: GUIDING OF THE SOUL
"Go to the destination before the power of the 'Melancholy Soul' fades away.
Right at the beginning, you're forced to fight a Shadow. You have a time
limit for this mission, so you must be quick. After killing the Shadow,
return to the long vertical chamber.
Fall down to the very bottom of the chamber and use the Melancholy Soul to
open the door.
If the Melancholy Soul runs out of power, you need to go back to the fountain
room and take the door to the right on the upper level. In the hallway,
examine the object at the end to power up the soul again. However, you must
fight another Shadow when you enter the fountain room again.
MISSION 6: EVIL OF THE WATERWAYS
"Defeat the evil guardian and acquire the 'Guiding Light.'"
As the mission gets underway, go the dead end to the right and jump around to
get a Blue Orb fragment. Head back the other direction and go through the
passageway opposite the door. Here, you can get some Green Orbs and bash the
Red Orb fountain. Go through the door you passed by earlier.
In here, run to the glowing the hole and take the Rusty Key. When you do, you
are attacked by a group of Beelzebubs. Kill them and leave.
Back out in the main corridor, there are more Beelzebubs. Kill them and head
for the door at the end, which opens when you use the Rusty Key.
In the next corridor, you can go through the side passage to get more Green
Orbs if needed. Continue onwards and you will be trapped in an energy cage
and forced to fight a Death Scissors. After killing it, take the Guiding
Light from the pedestal.
MISSION 7: HOLDING THE KEY OF ARDOR
"Return to the bedroom before the 'Guiding Light' absorbs all of your
vitality."
While holding the Guiding Light, your life will keep draining. Head back to
the beginning of the corridor but watch out for Phantom. Like your last
fight, he will chase you down this corridor, too. There are two Green Orbs
for you to pick up if you are losing the fight. Or, you could simply go
through the door and skip fighting him altogether.
In the next corridor, you must kill the trio of Sin Scythe's to open the
door.
----------------------------------SECRET MISSION-----------------------------
ONE-EYED EVIL
Objective: Trick one Kyklops into killing the other.
When: Mission 7. Go into the room where you found the Rusty Key.
The rock attack is the only thing they use to hurt each other. They will jump
around a lot and your life is still draining, so you have to be quick to coax
them into killing each other. Try moving so that one is always behind the
other. The word "Cool" appears if one hits the other. Avoid their jumping and
focus on positioning yourself so that they have to hit each in other to hit
you.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the vertical chamber, there are more Beelzebubs, so kill them and strike
the damage clock to start the elevator. Ride up to the top and go into the
bedroom. Examine the sun carving to use the Guiding Light and go through the
door to finish the mission.
MISSION 8: THE LEDGENDARY KNIGHT RETURNS
"Activate the mechanism and escape from the rooftop."
This mission begins on a ledge high above the main hall. Jump across to the
other ledge and go through the door. In here, jump to the upper level, take
the Red Orbs, and go through the next door.
Out on the roof, jump up to the ledge and head for the opening. However, a
gate slams shut and Phantom shows his ugly face. It's time for a showdown!
BOSS: Phantom
Phantom has a tendency to jump a lot more in the fight. He also has two new
attacks.
-Meteor Shower: Phantom shoots a fireball upwards and several meteors rain
down on you. Run in any direction to avoid it. Note that Phantom's body
becomes a much darker color. At this point, and part of his body is
vulnerable to attack, so bash away as much as you can. Phantom gets his wind
back by firing a meteor.
-Tail Grab: If you stand on Phantom's back for too long, he will grab you
with his tail and toss you away.
ALTNERNATE METHOD FOR BEATING PHANTOM:
If you lure Phantom into jumping on the glass floor several times, it will
break, leading Phantom to his doom.
After beating Phantom, he falls through the glass floor and gets cruelly
impaled on the horseman statue's spear in the main hall. After Dante bids him
farewell, he dies.
The gate opens back up so go to the next area. Here, take the Trident. Also,
jump on the horse statues and get to the ledge above the Trident for a Blue
Orb fragment. Jump into the hole when ready.
In this room, strike the small orb object with your sword to start the
machine. Before going down the ladder, take the Grenade Gun from the
skeleton.
Going down the ladder, you will be back in familiar territory. Use the
Trident to open the gate in a room below. When the gate opens, it will slowly
close, so leave the room via the door, go down the steps and enter the room
at the bottom. In there, rush under the gate before it closes. Before you go
through the exit door, don't forget to take the Blue Orb fragment in the
water to the right.
MISSION 9: NEW STRENGTH
"Use the new strength to open the door."
Cross the bridge and it will rise up by itself. Looks like you won't be in
the castle for a while. Continue onwards and take the Devil Star from behind
the large pointed stone. Head down the stairs and through the doors to reach
the coliseum grounds.
Out here, you will encounter a trio of Blades. After dealing with them, go to
the right of the entrance and follow the path to a gravestone. Attack it with
your sword to push it aside, revealing a Blue Orb fragment. To the left of
the entrance is a Yellow Orb. You can also check out the coliseum entrance.
You can't go in now but you can take the Red Orbs. There are several fires
burning on the ground that lead to the next room but if you go to the left of
this path, you will find a sealed door. Jump atop the ledge above it to find
a well-hidden Holy Water.
Going into the next room, climb up the ledges and take the Yellow Orb from
the pedestal to the right and a Devil Star from the pedestal to the left.
Follow the upper ledge around to the damage clock. Activate it and several
floating ledges appear. Jump on the ledges and make your way around until you
can reach the ledge floating in the air. Here, after watching a cut scene,
you will get Ifrit, the flaming gauntlets. A group of Marionettes will appear
below so you can test out your new weapon.
Back out on the grounds, you will meet Griffon, a huge electrical bird
creature. He's not too happy about your presence.
BOSS: Griffon
Griffon uses a lot of long range attacks. Your best bet is to attack him with
your Grenade Gun. It causes a lot of damage to him and it's easy to use.
Watch out for his many electrical attacks. Sometimes he will land on the
ground and try to peck you. If you are ever close to him on the ground, use
your sword and attack the exposed part of chest. This will knock him down.
Once he's down, switch to Ifrit and pound on him hard for a lot of damage.
Here are his attacks:
-Lightning Volt: He drops a ball of lightning and two bolts start from the
side. They quickly come together at your level jump to avoid. Sometimes, four
bolts will come together.
-Lightning Wave: A horizontal bolt is fired directly at your level. Easy to
dodge by jumping over them or by rolling.
-Chain Lightning: You can see the faint outline of lightning near you. After
a few seconds, a lightning bolt will streak along this line. You have to stay
mobile when he uses this.
-Bombs Away: Griffon flies over you while dropping a cluster of lightning
bombs. Jump sideways at the last second to avoid it.
-Mega Volt: Griffon stands straight up and lightning bolts streak along the
ground, tracking you. You have to move sideways and jump at the last second
to avoid them. He does this attack in three's.
-Peck: Griffon rushes towards you and tries to peck you. Move to his side and
jump at the last second to flank him.
Note that Griffon will flap his forward to signal an attack. If you are too
close, this will knock you away. When Griffon dies, stay away from him to
avoid getting hit by the lightning bolts he fires.
With Griffon gone, go to the door with the two torches. Punch the unlit torch
with Ifrit equipped to open the door.
In the forest area, head over to the door and try to open it. It will seal
and you will have to fight some Marionettes along with a few Fetishes. There
is a Green Orb above the door. Also, you can reach a ledge high above the
area but it requires some tricky jumping. Air Hike or Air Raid can help you.
This ledge has a Holy Water on it. Once all of the enemies are dead, you can
go through the door.
The next room has a time statue. Outside, jump to the ledge right next to the
steps. Here, there is a Red Orb fountain and another Devil Star, the latter
being reached by smashing a tombstone. On the ground below, you must fight a
group of Fetishes. Don't forget to grab the Yellow Orb on the ledge jutting
out from the wall (there is a Fetish standing on it). If you need some
health, you can smash the nearby the barrels for a Green Orb. Once the action
dies down, open the red door with 200 Red Orbs and go through to finish the
mission.
MISSION 10: CANYON OF MIST
"Come out of the labyrinth canyon alive."
As you move into the canyon, you will notice a large stone with a white orb
in front of it. Examine the stone to get it moving. You must follow the stone
down which ever of the two paths it chooses. It will get stuck inside of the
enemies so you have to take them out in order to release the orb. The first
canyon has Marionettes and Fetishes. Kill the ones in the way and follow the
orb to the next canyon. If you go the wrong way, you are sent back to the
beginning.
The second canyon has a trio of Sin Scythes. The third canyon is populated
with Blades. After clearing the third canyon, you will arrive in front of a
large building guarded by two Kyklops. Kill them both and the door opens up.
Don't forget to take the Green Orbs or the Holy Water from the corner to the
left of the door.
MISSION 11: FATE
"Offer the 'Chalice' and open the path."
At the beginning, you can turn around and head back outside for a secret
mission.
----------------------------------SECRET MISSION-----------------------------
WANDERING GHOSTS
Objective: Get the Blue Orb fragment by jumping off the Sin Scissors.
When: Right at the beginning of Mission 11, turn around and go back outside.
This isn't too hard. A gaggle of Sin Scissors will float underneath the
fragment, so jump up into them and kick off their masks. Air Hike really
helps here because you can use it in conjunction with kick jumps off of
enemies.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
After dealing with the Death Scythe, take some time to explore the room. A
ledge will form near the doors and you can use it to grab some Red Orbs
floating in the room. Jump up to the ledge above the entrance and then jump
onto the next highest platform. From here, you can reach a ledge with a Devil
Star sitting on it. On the left side of the room, you can jump into the caged
area for a Blue Orb fragment. There is also a Green Orb on top of the caged.
When you're ready, jump into the hole.
Down here, kill the Blades and proceed forward to the time statue. Attack the
wall to break it and kill another group of Blades. When they're dead, go back
and collect the Blue Orb fragment. Jump out of the tunnel at the other end.
Back in the main room, you will be in the other caged section. Take the Sign
of Chastity and go back the way you came. In the main room, go through either
door opposite the entrance.
In this room, use the Sign of Chastity and you will get the Chalice. However,
you will have some company.
BOSS: Nelo Angelo
Nelo is more aggressive for this fight and he has several new tricks up his
sleeve.
-Punch combo: Similar to yours only the third hit starts with High Time and
ends with a jump kick. The kick causes a lot of damage, so watch out for it.
Nelo can counter with this move as well.
-Kick 13: Just like your Kick 13. Sometimes, he will use this at the end of
his Punch Combo instead of the jump kick.
Once Nelo is dead, jump to the upper ledges and go into the room in the back.
Use the Chalice to open the exit. Collect the Green and Red Orbs in the room
and go through the door to finish the mission.
MISSION 12: GHOST SHIP
"Go to the deck and head to the Captain's cabin."
After getting the controls for swimming underwater, head down the passageway,
killing the Marionettes. In the cavern, use the Red Orb fountain and jump in
the water. Swim through the hole in the hull of the ship.
In here, avoid the Blade and take the Untouchable from the chest to your
right. Swim to the surface and jump out of the water. Climb the steps to the
next level.
Kill the two Blades. Pick up the Needle Gun and check the nearby chest for a
Devil Star. Climb the next set of steps and go through the door to the deck
of the ship.
On the deck, you can climb about the masts, collecting Red Orbs. On the last
mast, climb to the highest level and Stinger off the edge to the back of the
ship to get a Blue Orb fragment. When you're ready, examine the door blocked
by two swords and a Death Scythe comes out. Kill and examine the door again
to get the ship moving.
Alas, your journey is cut short because Griffon flies down and stops the
ship.
BOSS: Griffon
Griffon has some new attacks he has a tendency to stay off the deck, denying
you the ability to attack him. When he is off in the distance, you must avoid
his attacks and wait for him to land on the deck. When he does, attack him in
full force. When he is about to leave, next to him and he will land again,
thus allowing you to attack him again.
-Lightning Assault: Griffon attacks you with a combination of Lightning
Volts, Waves, and Chain Lightning. It's rare but lethal.
-Eagle: A bird shaped spirit is attached to you. It keeps swinging around you
and if it hits you, you are shot way up in the air. Jump over it when it
passes by and shoot with the Handguns to get rid of it. When you do, Griffon
will either attack or land on the deck.
Once Griffon is dead, you can go through the door to finish the mission.
MISSION 13: ABYSS
"Find an exit and escape from the ship."
In the captain's cabin, take the Staff of Hermes and a cut scene will show
the ship sinking.
You are underwater for the rest of the mission. Swim through the hole in the
wall. In the next room, kill the two Blades to open the path. You can swim
down into the room beneath the stairs leading to the deck. Down here, there
is a barrel you can shoot for a Blue Orb fragment but watch out for the
Blade.
In the last room, you can kill the two Blades if you want but all you need to
do is swim back through the hole to finish the mission.
MISSION 14: DEEP DARKNESS & TOWERING MOUNTAINS
"Go to the surface and head for the coliseum."
When the mission begins, you can do another secret mission if you want.
----------------------------------SECRET MISSION-----------------------------
WATER CELL
Objective: Kill all 8 Blades.
When: After completing Mission 13, go back inside the ship to the captain's
cabin. Examine the skeleton to start the mission.
Here, you just need to swim around shooting all the Blades. Listen for the
sounds they make to know when one is firing at you. After killing three or
four, the fight becomes much easier.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
As you jump out of the water, you can jump back into another nearby pool to
grab a Blue Orb fragment. Leave the cavern and fight the Marionettes in the
hallway. Go through the door to start the mission.
In the corridor, pass by the skill mural (it will be important for a secret
mission later) and move along the hallway, ignoring the fenced off elevator.
At the end, go through the wall and run down the length of the next corridor
to a spike wall with a skeleton stuck to it. Take the Emblem Shield and throw
the switch. This opens the elevator but starts the trap; the floor moves
against you and spikes shoot up from the holes. Tread carefully through the
corridor and step on the elevator to be taken back to the surface.
Out here, you can jump atop the structure to reach a nearby ledge with a Blue
Orb fragment. You can also reach a series of ledges near the waterfall. Climb
the ledges and claim the Yellow Orb at the top. At the bottom of the falls is
a Holy Water. When you're ready, go through the nearby cave.
In the multi-layered area, fight off the Blades (in DMD, rocks will
constantly fall from the top). On one layer, there is a door. Go through and
follow the cave to the end, taking the Green Orb as you go, until you emerge
on a bridge. Cross and bash the Red Orb fountain. You can then jump off the
right side of the ledge to land on another platform with a Blue Orb fragment.
From here, head to the bottom of the mountain and enter the next cave. Unseal
the door with 200 Red Orbs and go on through.
In the last area, kill the Marionettes with extreme prejudice. Take the Devil
Star from the ledge and unseal the next door with 100 Red Orbs. Go on to the
next room, take the Red Orbs, and go through the door to end the mission.
MISSION 15: WHEEL OF DESTINY
"Use a shield and pair of lances to conquer the coliseum."
Again, the option of a secret mission is open to you right from the start.
----------------------------------SECRET MISSION-----------------------------
TREASURE OF THE REAPER
Objective: Kill the three Shadows.
When: When Mission 15 begins go all the way back to the spike corridor in
Mission 14. Examine the carving on the wall.
Another multiple Shadow fight. This one is in close quarters but one of the
Shadows will not activate until you get close to it. Go down the hallway so
you can take down two of the Shadows easily and then go after the third.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the coliseum grounds, take out the pair of Kyklops. You can go back to
where you got Ifrit for an Untouchable, though you will have to fight a group
of Blades and two more Kyklops for it. Heading over to the coliseum entrance,
you will find to areas protected by shields, a red one and a blue one. You
can go through them in any order but the red area is optional.
BLUE EMBLEM SHIELD AREA
Take the Luminite before going down the stairs and killing the Fetishes.
Break through the wall and tear up the room. There is a Blue Orb fragment and
a lot of Red Orbs. When breaking the barrels, a small urn will appear
briefly. Quickly slash it to get 1000 Red Orbs. Finally, take the Holy Water
and go through the door.
In this spike corridor, kill the Sin Scythes and make your way through the
spike walls. In the area off to the side, you will find some Red Orbs and a
small pad that replenishes your DT gauge. At the end of the corridor, jump
onto the platform jutting out and then jump to the ledge on the wall. Take
the Pair of Lances and leave. The purple liquid will drain your vitality, so
quickly jump out if you accidentally fall in.
With the Pair of Lances, you can enter the coliseum. You do not have to go
through the Red Emblem Shield area if you have not done so already.
RED EMBLEM SHIELD AREA
If you did not take the Luminite from the Blue Emblem Shield area, you will
find more here, guarded by a Fetish. Downstairs, there are more Fetishes.
Kill them and bust through the wall. In the secret room, destroy the barrels
and collect your loot, which includes a Yellow Orb. Go through the door when
you're done.
In the spike corridor, attack the damage clocks quickly to lower two bridges.
Maneuver through the spikes and enter the side area for some Red Orbs and a
small pad that recharges your DT gauge. At the end of the corridor, there is
a room with the two bridges you lowered. If you want a Blue Orb piece, you
must jump so that Dante's head touches the underside of the ledge on the
wall. You can do this by jump off a bridge, falling under the ledge, and then
kick jumping to reach the underside. Air Hike and Air Raid are also easy
alternatives. When you do this, the fragment will appear on the ledge. There
are Blades in the pit, so watch out for them. The ledge has the last Firearm:
the Nightmare Beta. If you want the Blue Orb fragment, make sure you get it
BEFORE getting the Nightmare Beta. Now you can return to the coliseum
entrance.
THE COLISEUM
In here, avoid the center and take either of the two elevators to the upper
level. There are two Green orbs on the sides, a Yellow Orb opposite the
entrance, and a Blue Orb fragment if you run out to the center. After taking
these, return to the ground and go to the center to trigger a fight with
Griffon.
BOSS: Griffon
Griffon is even more aggressive than before but for the latter part of the
fight, he will spend most of his time on the ground. Here are his new
attacks:
-Lightning Grate: Griffon sends several vertical beams of lightning at you.
You can stand in between them but it's easier to roll to the side.
-Dive Bomb: Griffon flies up and charges straight down at you. Easy to dodge
with a well-timed jump.
After you take about a third of his life, he will fall but get back up. This
breaks one of the upper ledges and from then on, he will stay on the ground,
except to occasionally use his dive bomb attack.
After killing Griffon, he falls again. He tries to get back up but the center
section of the coliseum breaks and he gets impaled on the ground (ever notice
how everyone is getting impaled in this game?). He pleas with Mundus to give
him the strength to finish you off. Mundus appears but kills Griffon instead.
After a little chit chat with Trish, control is returned to you.
The piece of rock that impaled Griffon is an elevator. Jump atop it and you
will ride down to a room. Take the Wheel of Destiny and this mission is
history.
MISSION 16: NIGHTMARE OF DARKNESS
"Unravel the mystery of the 'Staff of Hermes.'"
Take the full Blue Orb and ride the elevator back to the surface. Exit the
coliseum.
On the coliseum grounds, kill the Sin Scythes and head back to the drawbridge
where you left the castle. Now you can use the Wheel of Destiny to lower the
bridge, letting you back in.
The layout of the castle has changed somewhat. Run forwards through the door
into the main hall.
In the main hall, you can jump atop the horse statue and use Air Raid or Air
Hike to reach the Blue Orb fragment floating out in the open. There is
another Blue Orb fragment beneath the right side of the stairs. Notice that
there is now a damage clock behind the stairs. Attack it and you will face a
Plasma. Kill it and the door leading to the biplane room opens. In you go.
There are more Plasmas in here. Kill them and proceed to the long hallway.
The hallway has a few Marionettes and Fetishes. There is a carving of a human
head jutting out near the door leading to the time statue room. Jump
underneath it to get a Blue Orb fragment. Go to the end of the hall and enter
the cathedral.
In here, there are four damage clocks and a pool of some sort of dark liquid.
Examine it and a fight ensues.
BOSS: Nightmare
Nightmare has two forms: the liquid and solid forms. In the liquid state, he
is invulnerable. You must attack a damage clock to get him into his solid
state. Once in his solid state, his core will show from time to time. Attack
the core whenever possible to destroy Nightmare. Notice that the core can
absorb your DT gauge and once it absorbs enough, it go into its own DT state
which makes its attacks more powerful. For this fight, you want Ifrit.
Rolling Blaze helps greatly for some of the attacks and Inferno causes a ton
of damage to Nightmare's core.
Liquid form:
-Ice Slug: A slug will attach itself to Dante and then explode. Jump and
wiggle the stick to throw it off.
-Swallow: If you actually stand on Nightmare, a section will rise of and
capture Dante, sucking him into a strange world. In here, you are forced to
fight several Sargassos and then a weakened version of a previous boss: first
fight, Phantom; second fight, Griffon; third fight: Nelo Angelo. After
defeating them, your DT gauge is completely restored and Nightmare loses 25%
of its health when you break free. If Nightmare's health is already below
25%, you will simply take damage.
Solid form:
-Gun Orb: Several orbs float near Nightmare, shooting lasers at you. They are
easy to dodge.
-Appendage Stab: Nightmare turns in a direction quickly and three appendages
jut out, trying to stab Dante. If you jump at the right time with Rolling
Blaze and you hit the appendage, Nightmare will be stunned and you can pound
on the core.
-Gem Missile: Salvos of missiles target Dante. You can shoot them to direct
them back at the core or you can use Rolling Blaze and simply jump into them.
-Ice Beam: Nightmare charges up and fires a huge beam of ice. It will swivel
it around, trying to hit you. It causes a lot of damage, so get away from the
front and jump onto Nightmare's back, allowing you to attack the core with
impunity.
Note that the Nightmare Beta does not work on Nightmare at all. Once the time
on a damage clock expires, Nightmare will go back to its liquid state. When
fighting the core, watch for the core to emit a gleaming light. While it's
doing this, you will pushed back if you try to attack it, so wait for the
light to dissipate first.
When Nightmare is dead, you can do two secret missions.
----------------------------------SECRET MISSION-----------------------------
STAIRWAY TO TRANQUILITY
Objective: Get the Blue Orb piece by jumping off of the Sargassos.
When: After defeating Nightmare in Mission 16, go back to the coliseum.
Alignment is everything. The Sargassos won't hurt you so need to make a
series of kick jumps up the "stairs" to reach the Blue Orb fragment. Again,
Air Hike makes this MUCH easier.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------SECRET MISSION-----------------------------
SHADOWS IN THE DARK
Objective: Find and defeat all four Shadows.
When: After defeating Nightmare in Mission 16, go back to the biplane room.
The biplane room has two Shadows, one of them hiding on the wing of the
plane. The next room has a Shadow in it. The Main Hall has the last Shadow;
he's hiding on the caged ledge to the left of the stairs. Nothing too
difficult.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Head out to the broken bridge and cross it again. If you left those Red Orbs
from Mission 3 at the end of the bridge, they will be worth 20 times more.
Use the Staff of Hermes on the statue in the back and two pictures will
materialize. The left picture ends the mission when you jump through it. The
right picture takes you to the bedroom, where you can get a Blue Orb fragment
next to the bed, and an Untouchable from the top of the bed.
MISSION 17: PARTED MEMENTO
"Slash away at the dragon and enter the court with the 'Quicksilver.'"
A secret mission is available right at the beginning.
----------------------------------SECRET MISSION-----------------------------
BLUE GEM IN THE SKY
Objective: Get the Blue Orb fragment floating in the sky. YOU ONLY HAVE ONE
SHOT AT THIS.
When: At the beginning of Mission 17, go back to the broken bridge. Jump on
the first piece of the bridge and make your way across. When you get to the
other side, make sure you step on the last piece of the bridge before jumping
to the other side, otherwise the mission does not start. If you fall in the
water, you must reset.
This mission is either EXTREMELY difficult or EXTREMELY easy. You can get
that piece floating over the bridge by using the tornados provided by the
Death Scythe. It's very difficult simply because of the unpredictability of
those things. The easy way requires Air Hike and Air Raid. Climb atop the
ledge above the door and DT. Use Air Hike and jump straight up as high as
possible. At the apex of your leap, hit R1 and fly out to the fragment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go along the passageway, climbing the stairs. The first room has a
Marionettes and bunch of Red Orbs if you bash the stuff in the room. The door
at the stop of the stairs leads to room where another portrait will
materialize. Jump through it and you are transported to a courtyard. Try the
door and a pair of Frosts attack. Kill them and proceed onwards.
In the hallway, kill the Marionettes and Fetishes and go to the end and
through the door. In this room, there is a dragon who shoots fireballs at
you. Before killing it, you may want to jump to the upper level and hug the
right wall. Closer to the dragon, there is a path you can't see that takes
you outside. Jump around for a Blue Orb fragment. To kill the dragon, you
must reflect its fireballs back at it with a sword attack. Three hits, and it
will die. Head over to the mechanism that came out of the floor and examine
the small lever. Move the left stick in a clockwise direction to turn the
mirror. Keep turning until a cut scene appears, in which the Quicksilver is
formed. Head out into the room and climb to the upper level. When lightning
strikes, you can see some invisible platforms. Jump along them until you can
get the Quicksilver. Take it and leave.
In the hallway, kill the Marionettes again and go to the side area with the
locked door. Open it with the Quicksilver.
In here, you will meet Nelo Angelo for the last time, only he's much more
powerful.
BOSS: Nelo Angelo
He becomes even more aggressive and he has new attacks. Note that his 4
Stroke Pattern attack has no warning at all.
-Phantom Blades: Nelo appears in the distance and summons several swords to
attack you. There are many different patterns but most can avoided by jumping
around. There is one pattern where he surrounds himself with them, so use the
Grenade Gun to blow them away before he gets close.
When you kill Nelo Angelo, he will drop a pendant and the mission ends after
a some startling revelations.
MISSION 18: SPIRIT STONE, "ELIXIR."
"Throw the 'Philosopher's Egg' into the fire and transform in into a Spirit
Stone."
(scene) The two pendants combine and Dante's Force Edge becomes the powerful
Sparda.
Step onto the pad and you will transported back to the stairway. Another
portrait materializes, this one taking you to an underwater area. Swim
through, shooting barrels you see for Red Orbs. In the third chamber to the
left, there is a lone barrel that hides a Blue Orb fragment.
In the next room, kill the three Sin Scissors and a door will open. Swim up
to it and Dante jumps out of the water. Go through the door.
You are back in the vertical stair chamber. Striking the damage clock causes
the chamber to be filled with water. You need to swim to the top but you may
want to stop and touch the ledge jutting out near the stairs for a Blue Orb
fragment. The chamber will stay filled for a limited time, so quickly swim to
the top where you can get the Philosopher's Egg. With this, head back down
the stairs, jumping the gaps, until you reach a door.
In the fountain room, there is a fire burning. To the left is a door on the
upper level. You can go through it to get some Red Orbs and a Blue Orb
fragment. When ready, use the Philosopher's Egg and a fight with Nightmare
starts.
BOSS: Nightmare
This fight is a lot like the first only Nightmare has a new attack.
-Boomerang: Nightmare detaches a piece of itself and flings it around the
room. It will either travel along the outside wall or hover around near
Nightmare. If you jump with Rolling Blaze and hit it, Nightmare will be
stunned and you can attack the core mercilessly.
Once Nightmare is dead, the egg will finish transforming and you will get the
Elixir. A teleportation pad appears in the center of the room and the mission
ends.
MISSION 19: ENTER THE CORRUPTED WORLD
"Open the gate to the Underworld."
Step on the pad you will be transported back to the stair room. GO back down
the stairs and step on the pad at the end and you will arrive at the broken
bridge. Jump though the portrait leading the bedroom. In here, examine the
mirror to use the Elixir. Examine it again and it will suck you into the
mirror world.
In the bedroom, go out to the courtyard. Take the Philosopher's Stone from
the pedestal. When you do, three Nobodies attack you. Kill them and return to
the door by climbing the ledges, jumping the gap, and climbing up to the
ledge above the door. You can also jump to the high ledge across the cone
shaped tower. From here, make a jump to the Blue Orb fragment floating in the
air. When you do this, the last Blue Orb fragment appears in the tower
itself, which you can get if you have Air Raid or Air Hike.
Return to the real world and go back to the cathedral. Step on the dark
liquid and you will fall into an upside down version of the cathedral. Use
the Philosopher's Stone to remove the barrier and jump down the hole to
finish the mission.
MISSION 20: SHOWDOWN WITH NIGHTMARE
"Head to the place of sacrifice."
Jump up to the corridor and follow it to the red door. Attack it to gain
entry to the next room, where you will meet two Frosts. Kill them and go
through the next door.
Dante enters the room and finds Trish in trouble. Before he can save her, a
barrier comes up and Nightmare appears again.
BOSS: Nightmare
This fight is the same as first two except there are several surprises. When
you are about to kill Nightmare, Trish reveals herself a traitor and begins
firing lightning at you. This can be avoided by not staying in the same place
too long. Here are Nightmare's new attacks:
-Ceiling: In its liquid form, Nightmare will attach itself to the ceiling and
fire gem missiles at you. Stay on the edge of the room. If you go to the
center, Nightmare will trap you in a cage. If this happens, slash away at the
walls to get out, otherwise, Nightmare will crush you, causing a ton of
damage.
-Core assault: When you take all of Nightmare's life, it will regain 25% but
this time the core will remain exposed and Nightmare will attack with
everything it has. Jump around the room to avoid being swallowed and also to
avoid being hit with Gem Missiles. The core will also fire beams of light at
you. When you see beams fire in all directions, the core will stop attacking
and start absorbing your DT gauge. Rush up to the core and hit it hard. If
you fail to destroy it, you will have to endure another round of attacks.
When Nightmare dies, it fires beams which cut the crocks pillars down. One
pillar is about to crush Trish but Dante saves her. After a curt exchange of
words, Dante leaves.
MISSION 21: LIVING CAVE
"Pulsate the heart and open the last gate."
Move forward and ignore the door blocked by the claws. Pick up the Holy Water
and go through the stone door. If you want, you try the last secret mission.
----------------------------------SECRET MISSION-----------------------------
HIDDEN BANGLE
Objective: Get the Bangle of Time.
When: Mission 21. Examine the wall opposite the Time Statue and you will slip
into a hidden passageway.
Follow the path, killing the Nobodies and taking the full Blue Orb. Make sure
you don't go in circles. In the next room, there is a dragon. Use the Red Orb
fountain and climb up the ledges until you're face to face with it. It will
breathe fire on your ledge at regular intervals. Attack it with Sparda until
it is about to breathe fire, and then jump to a previous ledge to avoid it.
When the dragon dies, a pair of Frosts appear on the ground below. Kill them,
and floating platforms appear near the ceiling of the room. Climb the ledges
and use the platforms to reach the last ledge. Take the Bangle of Time and
the mission ends.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the room with the heart, head over to the ledges to the left. At the end,
is a large orb object. Strike it with a Devil Arm and the claws around the
previous door will open. Back track to that door and do inside.
In the long, twisting corridor, you will encounter some tentacles. They
attach themselves to you and drain your life. You must jump through them,
slashing your sword to push them back. The corridor is fairly linear and
there are several places where you must stop and fight a Nobody. At the end,
go through the grey door.
In the lava room, jump across the ledges and kill the two Plasmas. On the
last ledge, strike the damage clock to summon several pillars. Climb the
pillars to a ledge with a Red Orb fountain. Strike the next damage clock to
summon more pillars. Jump to the first one and reach the ledge ahead. Climb
the blocks and use the last pillar to reach the door high above the room.
This door takes you to a platform above the heart room. Jump across the gap
and strike the last damage clock to start the heart up and unseal the last
gate. Jump down to the gate and go inside to meet your destiny.
MISSION 22: LEGENDARY BATTLE
This is quite a change of scenery. When you're ready, move towards the
statue.
(scene) Mundus has captured Trish. While Dante is distracted, Mundus stuns
him with several projectiles. He prepares to finish off Dante but Trish frees
herself and pushes Dante out of the way. She takes the beam and dies. Mundus
prepares to fire again but Dante's devil side goes loose and deflects the
beam. Mundus reveals his true form, that of a giant arch-angel, and somehow
changes the place into outer space. Dante transforms into his ultimate form
and fight ensues.
In this fight, you will be in constant motion. Use the analog stick to move,
X to fire bolts of energy, Triangle to speed up, and Circle to use Vortex.
Mundus has an exposed part of his chest. This is your target. Dodge his
attacks and shoot at his chest. Remember that you can use L1 to DT. Doing so
summons a demon dragon which will shoot out and damage Mundus. The more DT
runes you have lit, the more damage it does. This will also protect Dante for
a short period of time against an attack and it will destroy Mundus' shield.
-Beam: Mundus will sweep a beam either vertically or horizontally. Watch the
beam and react quickly.
-Lightning Grate: Similar to Griffon's attack. Fly between the lightning
bolts.
-Meteor Shower: Several meteors fly down. Easy to dodge.
-Debris: Big chunks of rock fly towards you. You can easily destroy them with
Vortex, which gives you a good DT boost.
-Beam Fire: Several orbs float around, firing a constant salvo of beams. You
have to stay on the move to avoid them.
-Beam Fire Assist: Mundus fires his own salvo of red beams, so it becomes
even more important to move.
-Shield: Four orbs will surround Mundus, making him completely invincible.
You must destroy the orbs first. Your DT can destroy them instantly.
You will do the most damage when you are up close. After a while, Mundus will
spin and fly away. Stay at the bottom edges of the screen to avoid this. When
you kill Mundus, he manages to shoot Dante out of the sky.
Dante lands in a lava pool and must face Mundus a second time.
In this fight, you will have Sparda DT. You have to jump on the ledges Mundus
creates and attack him with your sword. You MUST DT to attack him because the
extra length is needed to reach his chest cavity. Stay away from him and
dodge his attack, building up your DT, and then attack him when ready.
-Beam Fire: Mundus sweeps the stage with several beams. Jump over them to
avoid.
-Beam Orbs: Mundus summons several of these in random patterns. They will fly
around shooting at you, so you might want to destroy as many as you can.
-Meteors: If there are any Beam Orbs, Mundus will call them and hurl a volley
of meteors at you. Strike them with your sword to reflect them back at
Mundus.
-Dragon: Mundus will call a dragon. Sometimes, the dragon will rise from the
lava, other times it will come up beneath you and throw you around. The
dragon will shoot fireballs at you from time to time. Killing it nets you a
Green Orb.
-Lava Pillars: Similar to an attack Phantom used. Just run in any direction
to avoid.
-Punch: Mundus will rush up and punch you. Easy to avoid. Sometimes, he will
break the platforms and this could dump you in the lava, so be careful.
Notice the large dormant orbs. Destroying these will recover three DT runes,
so destroy them whenever possible. When Mundus dies, Dante will return and
pay his last respects to Trish. He leaves behind his pendant and Sparda, so
you will not be able to use Sparda for the last mission.
MISSION 23:
"Escape Mallet Island before it collapses."
Run back through the underworld and return to the castle. The time statue
rooms along the way have Frosts and there are two Nobodies in the Nightmare.
Be sure to pick up the Untouchable in the Nightmare room.
Back in the cathedral, ignore the Marionettes and go to the long corridor. In
here, kill the pair of Blades to unseal the door and go on through. In the
biplane room, the floor breaks and you fall in the sewers. Mundus shows up
again for one final round.
BOSS: Mundus
Activate Ifrit, and run up to Mundus. He will occasionally fire a beam
horizontally but it will miss if you are close enough. Pound on him with your
strongest attacks. If you have Inferno, this will be a short fight. When
Mundus' life is gone, Trish will show up and give Dante her power. Now, just
taunt Mundus until your DT gauge has three full runes. DT and fire a shot
from your Handguns to finish Mundus.
After some chatting, the plane from above breaks through the wall. Dante and
Trish hop aboard and fly off.
In this last section of game play, you must maneuver the plane through a
cave. Hold down X to fire machine gun bursts to clear the debris and do your
best to avoid hitting the walls. At the end, a cut scene takes place.
Dante flies out of the island as it explodes. Dante warns Trish that the
underworld is still alive, so there's no time for rest. Then, the switches
back to a scene similar to the first one, only this time, Dante has changed
his sign from "Devil May Cry" to "Devil Never Cry." Dante and Trish rush off
to important job and the credits roll.
