___/========== STYLE ==========

-----------DARK SLAYER-----------

Vergil's own unique style which is similar to Dante's Trickster except Vergil'sstyle can be used for offense as well as defense. If you can master thisstyle, you will be able to run circles around your enemies.

>> Air Trick (O, Hold R1 and press O, or press Toward (an enemy) + O)

Vergil instantly teleports next to the enemy. If you knock an enemy into theair while locked on, then do an Air Trick, Vergil will teleport up into the airright beside the enemy allowing you to attack him. If you know the enemy'sattacks well enough this move can be used to teleport right through an enemy'sattack if timed correctly. Please note that Vergil can only teleport a certaindistance and not all the way across the screen.

The beauty of this move is realized more so when R1 is not used in combination

with O. For instance, if you are fighting a group of three enemies and one isto the left, one is to the right, and the other is in front of you...


6/142

(E = Enemy, A = Attacking Enemy, V = Vergil, v = Vergil phasing, = teleport)

E

E - V - E

You can hit the front enemy until he attacks then Air Trick to the left enemy

by quickly pressing Left + O before the attack connects.

A

EV> Trick Down (R1, then Back + O)

Vergil will instantly teleport to a spot directly below where he was standingor jumping. When this move is used on the ground, Vergil will teleport a shortdistance away from the enemy.

=============== DEVIL ARMS ===============

------YAMATO------

A memento from Vergil's father. This samurai-esque sword's blade is said tocut through anything.

>> Yamato Combo (/\, /\, /\)

Virgil hits the enemy twice with the handle of the Yamato then unsheathes thesword and finishes the combo with a horizontal slash. The first two hits arenot too great, but the slash at the end it very useful for clearing a crowd of

enemies.

>> Upper Slash (Hold R1, then Back + /\. Press /\ again for an optional


7/142

downward strike.)

Vergil uppercuts the enemy into the air with the first hit. The optionalsecond hit is a downward strike that knocks the enemy back down to the ground.The first part is great to use as a launcher for an air combo - Air Trick upinto the air after the uppercut then follow it up with an Aerial Rave.

>> Aerial Rave (/\ in the air)

Vergil will unsheathe the Yamato in the air and slash twice. This move is agodsend! Not only is it quick and powerful, but it has incredible distance aswell. Barely tapping the jump button while continually slashing can make forultimate pressure against any enemy.

>> Rapid Slash (Hold R1, then Forward + /\)

Vergil will dash toward the enemy and quickly slice them with a horizontalslash. This is an excellent move for crowds or for knocking an enemy downquickly.

>> Judgement Cut (Charge /\, then release)

Judgement Cut will break apart a crowd of normal minions fairly quick with itsdistant quick cuts. This can be the ultimate move for disposing of a bigenemy. Chess Pieces fear it greatly! Make sure the enemy will remain immobilefor a while when attempting this move.

-------BEOWULF-------

Flash gauntlets and greaves. The set boosts Vergil's attack and speed making

him a powerhouse.

>> Beowulf Combo (/\, /\, /\)

Vergil will punch twice then end the combo with a two-hit whirlwind kick. Thewhirlwind kicks works fairly well for clearing a path in front of you through agroup of enemies. The first two hits set the enemy up perfectly to chain intoany of Beowulf's other actions.

>> Starfall (Jump then /\)

Vergil will leap into the air and do an aerial downward kick on the enemy belowhim. This is an excellent combo starter for when you dodge an enemy's attackwith a Trick Up or while jumping normally.

>> Rising Sun (Hold R1, then Back + /\)

Vergil will uppercut the enemy with two upward kicks. Vergil will remain inthe air after this attack so you can follow it up with any of his other DevilArm air attacks.

>> Lunar Phase (Hold R1, then Forward + /\)

Vergil will leap into the air and do a somersaulting set of flip kicks to hisfoe and end it with an incredibly powerful overhead kick. Lunar Phase is

Vergil's ultimate pressure move for hitting fast and hard. This will be yourmain boss attack.


8/142

----------FORCE EDGE----------

A sword magically imbued with Sparda's power. A powerful sword with greathidden potential.

>> Force Edge Combo (/\, /\, /\, /\)

Vergil will perform two slashes, two hits with the sword sheath, an upwardslice with the Yamato, then end the combo with an overhead strike. This combois an excellent way to follow up a Stinger hit. Its fast and long plus thefinal hit is very powerful.

>> Helmet Breaker (Jump then /\)

Vergil will come down upon the enemy with a quick downward strike. This isgood for getting away with a quick and powerful hit when you are fighting anaggressive enemy. Mix this up with Vergil's Trick Up and you will get an

extremely deadly combination. You can basically play like the final boss inthe game with continuous Trick Ups and Helmet Breakers especially when DevilTriggered.

>> Stinger (Hold R1, then Forward + /\)

Much like Dante's Stinger with Rebellion, Vergil will dash toward the enemywith a powerful thrust. This move is good for interrupting an enemy's attackwhen you see an open spot.

>> High Time (Hold R1, then Back + /\. Hold /\ to jump into the air after theuppercut)

Vergil will uppercut the enemy with Force Edge. This is just like Dante'suppercut with Rebellion except Vergil can't follow it up with much.

>> Round Trip (Charge /\, then release)

Vergil will toss the spinning Force Edge at an enemy. While the weapon remainsout of Vergil's hands he will only be able to attack with Yamato until theForce Edge returns.

========= GUNS =========

---------------SUMMONED SWORDS---------------

Magically generated swords will appear next to Vergil and fly toward the enemyor area in front of him. When fully powered the Summoned Swords can deal somedecent constant damage from a distance with their rapid stabs.

_>> Spiral Swords (Charge _)

The Summoned Swords will rotate around Vergil and will hit any enemy that getsclose to hit. This works really well for when you charge into a crowd of

enemies.

* Please note that this move takes two Devil Trigger runes per Spiral Sword


9/142

set._

>> Sword Storm (after Spiral Swords, hold R1 then press Forward + _)

The Spiral Swords that rotate around Vergil will rotate around the targetedenemy then stab him all at once. Do this move for some extra damage before youcombo an enemy.

_>> Blistering Swords (after Spiral Swords, hold R1 then press Back + _)

The Swords will line up on the sides of Vergil's torso then rapidly fly andstab the enemy. This is good for when you want to spam an enemy quickly withswords.

================== OTHER ACTIONS ==================

>> Taunt (Select)

Vergil will taunt the nearest enemy, which will boost his style meter and causehim to regain Devil Trigger energy (2 runes per successful taunt). UnlikeDante, Vergil's taunt will change depending on his current Devil Arm that hehas equipped.

>> Devil Trigger Charge Stance

Taunt near an enemy while Yamato is equipped and allow Vergil to stand still -soon a dark aura will appear around him and this will slowly begin to chargehis Devil Trigger energy. Please keep in mind that an enemy must be nearVergil for this to work.

>> Devil Trigger Flux (Hold L1, then release)

Hold down L1 until one or more Devil Trigger runes have charged, then releaseL1 for a minor explosion that will damage any nearby enemies in the area whileyou change to your Devil Trigger state. Only a maximum of four Runes can becharged at once. This will work for normal enemies and bosses.

>> Yamato and Force Edge Combo (/\, /\, /\)


10/142

Nelo does a vertical slice then a horizontal slice and then waves his sword infront of him performing two more horizontal slices.


Nelo will do a jumping overhead strike similar to Vergil's Helmet Breaker, butwith much more power.

>> High Time (Hold R1, then Back + /\)

Just like Vergil's High Time, Nelo will uppercut his enemy into the air. Hold/\ to follow the enemy into the air.

>> Charged Rapid Slash (Hold R1, then Forward + /\)

Nelo will charge his sword then dash forward and perform a sword strike. Thisis a perfect time to charge for the Charge Fist so you can perform it directlyafter this move (see Other Actions).

-------BEOWULF-------

>> Beowulf Combo (/\, /\, /\)

Nelo will perform a straight punch and uppercut and then chain into an upwardkick.

>> Starfall (Jump then /\)

Nelo will fall from the air with a diving kick.

Welcome to the walkthrough section. Please note that since this walkthrough isdone for Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition, emphasis will be place on Vergil

first for all stages. This wouldn't be a complete Devil May Cry 3 walkthroughwithout Dante, but Vergil will always be addressed first. You will notice thatthroughout the walkthrough I have "Vergil" and "Dante" in parentheses to showthat the information listed before the name is for that corresponding characterin parentheses. Let me get one thing out of the way first and then we canstart with the walkthrough.

**** VERY IMPORTANT: Dante and Vergil's games must be kept on separate files.If you try to save over one character's file (Dante) with anothercharacter's file (Vergil) then you will lose any abilities, upgrades,completed missions, and movies that you have with that character (Dante inthis case).

In other words, you should save your game something like this:

/----------------------------------------\ SAVE - Memory Card slot 1 - 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ^ ^ ^ ^ VERGIL DANTE VERGIL(2) DANTE(2)\----------------------------------------/

** I would definitely urge you to make a backup save with each character (likein the diagram above) just in case. There is no turning back once a

character's save file has been accidentally saved over and it is very easyto do.

How do I know? Well...I erased a son of Sparda. And in the end only one wasleft standing. Well, duplicates of him.

With that said please enjoy the walkthrough and email me if you have anyquestions, comments, or concerns.

== Dante' Office ==

This is basically a practice mission to get you used to the way Devil May Cry 3plays. If you have much trouble getting past this mission then I suggest youplay it over and over a few times to upgrade some of your weapons since thismission is a cakewalk compared to the others.

You will be introduced to the most basic of enemies during this fight. TheHell Prides (dark purple) will attack you first. Their only attack is a sickle


23/142

attack, which they will do when you get close to them. Hell Lusts (red) willenter the room eventually along with plenty more Prides. Watch out for whenthe Hell Lust jumps back and squawks like a bird, that means he is about tolunge toward you with the sickle. Jump or roll out of the way when you hearhim squawk. Try to stay out of the middle of the room so they don't group upon you. Stick with the Yamato ground combo mixed with the Upper Slash (Vergil)or air combos with Rebellion (Dante).

== Dante's Office: Front ==

Pick up the Vital Star S to the character's left. Jump away from the Hell

Prides at the beginning since they will welcome you with a sickle slice. Youwill once again face tons of Hell Prides and Lusts. A Hell Wrath (skeletonwith bomb) will teleport into the area eventually. Turn your attention towarddefeating him with a projectile weapon and make sure that you stay far awayfrom him since he will explode, dealing damage to anything around him, once heis killed. The same methods of attack for each character still work on thisbattle.

===============================================================================

Boss - Hell Vanguard

The Hell Vanguard at the end will be your first true taste of a boss battle.

Stand next to him and hit him with your melee weapon until your weapons clash.Once your weapons have clashed, if you press the attack button anymore afterthat, your weapons will continually clash. Use a roll and dodge to the left orright to avoid the Vanguard's overhead scythe attack after the weapon clash.Attack him from the side after dodging the overhead attack. Eventually he willteleport to a different area - follow him and stay on top of him, but watch outfor his two hit scythe attack while approaching him.

If you ever hear a bell noise, that means the Hell Vanguard is about to performone of his teleport attacks. When you see a distortion in the ground belowyou, roll or jump away from the distortion since he will shoot up out of theground eventually. If you see a small portal start to form in the air, getready to jump or roll since he will dash out of the portal and hit you with hisscythe. The dodging can be a bit tricky for his air teleport - wait about asecond and a half if you are trying to avoid it with a roll, then roll out ofthe way. He sometimes will not do his teleport move during this first battledepending on the difficulty.

VERGIL - Use Beowulf's Lunar Phase or Force Edge's normal combo while DevilTriggered to attack him. If you have Lv.2 Judgement Cut you cantotally rape him with Yamato's Judgement Cut after dodging hisattacks. It only takes a few Judgement Cuts to kill him on any levelexcept Dante Must Die.

DANTE - Use Rebellion's normal combo and use Stinger when you dodge his scythe

attack.

===============================================================================


24/142

= Hell Vanguard Attacks ================================================================================Scythe Swing - The Vanguard will do an overhead scythe swing then follow it upwith a horizontal slice.

Air Teleport Attack - A bell will chime and a portal will open in the air thenthe Vanguard will dash through it while spinning his scythe.

Ground Teleport Attack - A bell will chime and the ground will distort then theVanguard will shoot up from the ground while spinning his scythe.===============================================================================

== Dante's Office: Front ==

You can backtrack here from the start if you want some extra action and orbpickups. A variety of Hell Prides, Lusts, and Wraths will attack much like thelast mission.

== 66 Sunset Avenue ==

The Enigmas are introduced here. On higher difficulties these enemies can be anightmare with their red arrows and constant running, but they are not too badon hard difficulty or anything below. Avoid their blue arrows on your way upto them and take them out quickly. Hell Prides, Lusts, and Wraths willeventually litter the street below. Use the barrels on the side (shoot them

with a gun) to defeat them quickly and of course shoot the Hell Wraths firstwhen they appear with a group of enemies.

== Bullseye ==

There are plenty of breakable objects in here that you can destroy for red orbs- barrels, bottles, jukeboxes, etc. Hit the device with the Sanskrit emblembehind the jukeboxes until it fully lights up to get rid of the blue sealblocking your path. Grab the ++SHOTGUN++ from off the left side of the wallbehind the blue seal (Dante only).

== Love Planet ==

Right after the cutscene, jump away from the steps. Three Hell Sloths willteleport to the top of the steps and slash all at once. The Sloths will attackby teleporting toward you after they cry out and will slash you once theyteleport next to you. Watch for their sudden yell then get ready to dodge.Hell Lusts will join the Sloths after you have defeated the first three Sloths.The red seal will disappear after you have defeated all the enemies.

== 13th Avenue ==

Jump on top of the Love Planet sign and walk to the end for some red orbs.Destroy both dumpsters for some red orbs and leap onto the catwalks on the sideof the right building (look for the ladder) for some more red orbs. You can

destroy the side of the left building next to the Love Plant building. Jump tothe second floor for a red orb and hit the orb pillar for some more. Jump ontop of the left building near the end and hit the Combat Adjudicator on the


25/142

side with the Yamato (Vergil) or Rebellion (Dante) until you get a "Blast!"style ranking for a BLUE ORB FRAGMENT. Another BLUE ORB FRAGMENT is on top ofthe last standing building on the right. Enter the doors of the building onthe right to start Secret Mission 1. Be sure to power-up at the DivinityStatue since you've got a big battle coming up.

===============================

Secret Mission 1 - The Exorcist===============================

Defeat all enemies within the time limit

This secret mission will place you back in the Love Planet showroom and makeyou face off against Hell Prides, Lusts, and Sloths. They must all be beatenwithin the time limit of one minute in order to win a BLUE ORB FRAGMENT.

VERGIL - Use Force Edge's standard combo and never let up on attacking. Whenone enemy dies, Air Trick to the next standing enemy. Remember thatVergil starts out with Devil Trigger, so activate it when it's fully

charged.

DANTE - Use Rebellion's standard combo and do not let up.

== Ice Guardian's Chamber ==

Walk toward the back for a cutscene.

===============================================================================

Boss - Cerberus

Weakness: Fire (Agni & Rudra)

You will have to continually shoot your projectile weapon at this boss todestroy the ice that protects his three heads. Always aim for one of the boss'heads with your projectile attacks to take more damage. Stay away from him andwatch his actions to know what attack he will do. If he howls, that means icecrystals are about to rain from the ceiling so you will need to roll to thesides a few times to avoid it. Wait until a frost patch appears below you andthen roll to the right or left to avoid the attack a bit better. The attackwill become much harder to avoid as the battle continues since the ice crystalrain will start to last longer, prompting you to roll more than once. When hestarts to charge, move away from the front of him since he will shoot a groupof ice balls from his mouth. You can hit the ice balls for some green orbs ifyour aim is good enough. If you are on one of the sides during his ice ballattack, you can run up to his side and attack one of his front feet to make himfall then hit one of his heads while he recovers.

The main attack you will need to look out for while fighting him (especially onharder difficulties) is his pounce attack. He will lean back like an animalready to pounce, then leap toward you. Stay out of his way before the pounceand he will miss you - roll if needed. The chains on his legs will start toreel him back in as he recovers from the pounce and that is your cue to targeta head and attack him while he moves back. Eventually he will stomp the groundand ice will shoot up all around him as he turns red with anger. His attackswill become much faster during this phase so you will need to watch his actionsmore carefully to make sure he doesn't catch you off guard.

VERGIL - It's a good idea to have your Summoned Swords up to at least level 2for this battle. You can easily stand back on any difficulty level and


26/142

kill this boss by spamming him to death with Summoned Swords if theyare at level 3. Use Vergil's Yamato air attack or a Trick Up whilejumping to avoid Cerberus' ice breath better while jumping. Use ForceEdge's normal combo or Yamato's Aerial Rave when you go to attackCerberus in either of his heads with a melee weapon.

DANTE - Your handguns will play a vital role in this battle for removing the

ice that protects his heads. Constantly shoot at him with thehandguns while dodging his attacks. Hit him with Rebellion's normalcombo as he recovers from a pounce. If this is your secondplaythrough then Agni & Rudra will work even better for attacking him.

================================================================================ Cerberus' Attacks ================================================================================Ice Crystal Rain - Cerberus will raise his middle head into the air and roar.Ice Crystals will rain from the ceiling and fall wherever your character iscurrently at.

Ice Breath - Cerberus will raise his right head into the air then breathe iceonto the ground and freeze the entire area.

Ice Ball - Cerberus will kneel his head down and charge while glowing a bluishcolor in the mouth. He will eventually pull his head upwards and shoot out anice ball directly ahead of him. As the battle progresses he will start toshoot out more than one ice ball.

Pounce - Cerberus will jump backward like an animal before it pounces, thenrush toward you. He will start to pounce faster as the battle progresses andwill start to move backward after the pounce faster as well. On higherdifficulties there is very little warning for this move.

Ice Shockwave - Cerberus will raise one of his front paws into the air and hitthe ground sending an ice shockwave toward you. He will usually do a shockwavewith his right paw then do another with his left paw.

Bite - If you get next him he will try to bite you with all three heads atonce.

Paw Strike - If you remain next to one of his sides for too long he will leanone of his paws back and hit you with it.===============================================================================

You will receive ++CERBERUS++ after this battle (Dante only).

There's a Divinity Statue off to the side if you need it. Ignore the doorcovered in flames for now. Run up a few levels of the tower and go through the

blue door.

== Entranceway ==


27/142

A few Hell Prides will attack as you run up the stairs.

== Living Statue Room ==

Defeat the Enigmas and Hell Lusts to break the seal on the red door. Nevermindthe cage for the moment. Go through the red door.

== Silence Statuary ==

Destroy the statues for some red orb pickups. There is a red orb pillar in theback as well. Hit the Sanskrit emblem on the side of the wall until it lightsup then get on the elevator.

== Incandescent Space ==

Hell Gluttonies and Sloths will attack once the elevator reaches the top. TheHell Gluttonies are actually pretty easy to defeat, just make sure to watch outfor their sand spray attack. Use the railing to jump on top of the pipe to

find a BLUE ORB FRAGMENT in an alcove up above the pipe.


Climb to the next level and enter the yellow door. The pedestal at the topcannot be used at the moment.

== Endless Infernum ==

Walk up the stairs and they will start to crumble.

== Chamber of Sins ==

Hell Sloths, Lusts, and Wraths will attack. Enter the pillar of light afterthe battle to return to where you were.


Walk through the big red door.

== Giantwalker Chamber ==

===============================================================================

Boss - Gigapede

Weakness: Ice (Cerberus), Fire (Agni & Rudra)

Immediately jump onto the Gigapede's back at the start and attack it as it goesinto the wall. Wait until it comes back out of the hole (look for the light),then jump onto its back and work your way to its head. Attack it directly inthe back of the head to deal double damage to it. The Gigapede will start tomove faster and will eventually retreat back into the wall after hitting itshead a few times. If you attack the Gigapede anywhere else on its body,besides its head, it will turn over and dump you off eventually. Wait abovethe hole that it goes into and jump onto its back as it enters the area to killit quickly. It is possible to target the Gigapede while it is still inside thehole - this will help as you wait for it to exit each hole.

VERGIL - Use Force Edge's normal combo while on the back of the Gigapede. UseTrick Up to help you get some extra distance when jumping on his back.


28/142

If you fall off of his back continuously hit him with Summoned Swordsuntil he retreats back into a hole.

DANTE - Use Cerberus on the back of its head when you get on its back. Blastthe Gigapede with Ebony & Ivory from a distance if you can't get onits back at the moment.

================================================================================ Gigapede's Attacks ================================================================================Energy Shots - The Gigapede will fire purple balls of energy from its sides andthey will all home in on you.

Lightning Shots - The Gigapede will send out blue energy balls that will shoota stream of lightning out of the bottom as it travels toward you.===============================================================================

Enter through the bottom door at the other end after the battle.

== Incandescent Space ==

Pick up the Astronomical Board from the alcove on the right (character's left)as you enter. A cutscene will start as you attempt to leave.

At the very start, Blood-Goyles will attack. Do not attack them normally witha melee weapon or you'll only cause them to multiply. Shoot them with whateverprojectile-type weapon you have to turn them to stone. Hit them enough whilethey are stoned and they will shatter. These things are actually more annoyingon easier difficulty setting since they will multiply with fewer hits fromaccidental melee attacks on their blood form.

After the battle go back the way you...huh!? Well, let's see where that portalleads shall we? You can't leave the room (through the big doors) until you gothrough the portal.

===============================================================================

Boss - Jester

Ah, the DMC3:SE exclusive boss!

He's actually pretty easy once you learn when to attack him. He will usuallystart out with his taunt stance. While he is taunting, you must attack himwith a projectile weapon. He will begin to dance in place as you shootprojectiles at him and will eventually teleport to an area across from you andfan himself with his baton - that is your cue to unload on him. If you try tohit him with a melee weapon during his taunting, he will dodge the hit by

teleporting elsewhere and will taunt you some more. Eventually he willsurround himself with a force field and will summon energy spheres from portalsthat will appear near him. Stay away from him while the energy spheres are


29/142

exiting the portals. If the spheres circle him or bounce around him it is bestto move around the center area and avoid the sphere while continuously firingat him with your projectile weapon. If you see a green sphere among the otherpurple spheres, you can destroy it for a green orb (use a projectile weapon).When only one portal opens you will need to roll away from the oncoming spheresthat will shoot rapidly out of the portal by rolling to one side continuously -when you reach the opposite side start rolling the other way. It is possible

to run up to him directly after each sphere attack and get a few hits in whilehe is still surrounded by the force field. He will go back to his taunt stanceafter the force field is gone.

VERGIL - Fire Summoned Swords at him while he is in his taunt stance. UseBeowulf's first two hit's from the normal combo and chain into theLunar Phase or just do constant Lunar Phases. While dodging hisspheres constantly hit him with Summoned Swords.

DANTE - Fire Ebony & Ivory shots at him while he is in his taunt stance. UseCerberus' Revolver on him while when he is stunned. While dodging hisspheres constantly hit him with Ebony & Ivory shots.

================================================================================ Jester's Attacks ================================================================================Taunt Stance - While he is taunting you cannot hit him with a melee weapon orhe will simply dodge the hit by teleporting. Hit him with a projectile weaponand he will begin to dance in place then teleport to an area across from youand fan himself with his baton.

Force Field and Energy Spheres - He will encase himself in a force field andwill summon energy spheres through one, two, or three portals.

- One portal - The energy spheres will shoot out of the portals rapidly and

move straight toward you in groups.

- Two portals - The energy spheres will shoot out of the portals and bouncearound the room randomly.

- Three portals - The energy spheres will exit through the portals and begin tocircle Jester.

===============================================================================

After you beat him, enter the portal that appears to go back to where you were.


Go back through the large red double doors and make your way back to theChamber of Echoes.


Place the Astronomical Board on the pedestal at the top of the chamber to maketwo walls, which were previously blocking your way to an item, retract. Thesmall glowing section of the floor on the bottom will give you a boost if youjump on it to help you get back up to the top floor. Jump down to the bottomof the chamber to get to the item that is now available. Collect the Vajurafrom the fourth floor and go through the blue door on the third floor.

== Entranceway ==

Fight off the Hell Pride's as normal and enter the door up the stairs.


30/142

== Living Statue Room ==

Use the Vajura on the second floor crank. This will lift the cage in themiddle of the room. Approach the cage and grab the Soul of Steel from thepedestal. Hell Gluttonies and Enigmas will warp into the room and seal offboth entrances. Defeat the Enigmas first since they will continually fire

arrows at you. Go back to the Chamber of Echoes.


Use the glowing section of the floor to hop back up to the top floors and enterthe yellow door near the topmost floor.


Walk toward the abyss, where the stairs were on the last mission, and walkacross to the other side. Since you have the Soul of Steel you will not fallinto the abyss. Hit the Combat Adjudicator on the side with Beowulf (Vergil)

or Cerberus (Dante) enough times to get an "Alright!" style ranking to get aBLUE ORB FRAGMENT. Put the Soul of Steel in the hollow place on the wall toreveal a door.

== Surge of Fortunas ==

Walk down the steps and head toward the elevator. Examine the red glowingemblem on the wall for Secret Mission 2.

==============================Secret Mission 2 - Untouchable==============================

Defeat all enemies while taking no damage.

VERGIL - If you are Vergil, you should have no problem. Have the Yamatoequipped and run toward one of the Enigmas on the right or left side.Dodge the first arrow attack while standing near one of the sideEngimas then unload on each of them one by one with a jumping Yamatoslash. It should only take two air attacks per Enigma. Use Vergil'steleport to speed things up when moving in between the others.

DANTE - Run straight toward one of the side Enigmas and start to hit him whilelocked onto him. As soon as the Enigmas in the back fire theirarrows, roll out of the way and continue attacking. Attack all theothers quickly and they shouldn't be able to fire again.

You will be given a BLUE ORB FRAGMENT.

== Surge of Fortunas ==

Walk toward the emblem and fire it up with slashes then jump on the elevator.Hell Prides will attack while the elevator is moving up. Wait for them to jumpinto the middle, then jump away from them. Use the normal Yamato combo(Vergil) or Rebellion's normal combo (Dante) to knock them off the elevatorwhile they are grouped. The last hit or Vergil's Yamato will send them alloff.

== Azure Garden ==

Leap up the side of the walls for some red orb pickups. Walk down the steps to


31/142

find a Divinity Statue along with plenty of breakable objects across from it.Enter the red door.

== Firestorm Chamber ==

===============================================================================

Boss - Agni & Rudra

Weakness (Agni): Ice (Cerberus)

Agni and Rudra are quite the duo and it is extremely helpful to listen to themas they attack and they will let you know when to roll, jump, or counter. Bothof them will charge behind you at the beginning of the battle and will then runtoward you and either jump at you or run toward you and slash you from theground. Most of the time they will each jump. Lock onto one of them and keepbacking up as they dash then jump right before the first one lands and jumpagain right before the other hits the ground. If you are brave enough, you cando an air attack on the way down from the second jump.

The best way to hit these two is to knock the sword out of their hands. Inorder to do this you will need to hit them right before they attack. You musthit them not exactly the second before their sword hits you, but a little bitbefore they are about to strike. A good way to time the attack is to attackone of them until he blocks then let up. Each one will always counter with anattack based on your distance. When you see the attack coming, attack a littlebit before the slash to instantly knock the sword out of that boss' hand(depending on the difficulty). Sometimes a jumping attack works best to knockthe weapon out of their hands. The boss will kneel over and be totally open toattack after you knock away his weapon. Any attacks on him while he iskneeling over will result in double damage to that boss.

If you want to go the defensive route then you will need to dodge each of theirattacks right when you hear them yell out their phrases before attacking andhit them from the back. Take advantage of whenever you see one of themcharging a sword and get a few free hits in. The boss with the charged swordwill always be the most aggressive so be sure to target him. If you can getthe boss with the charged blade to hit the other boss then this will take offquite a bit of damage from the other boss.

I would highly advise you to try to weaken both bosses at the same time. Onceone of the bosses has been killed off a cutscene will play eventually, in whichthe other boss will take up his brother's sword and continue the battle withboth swords. Right after the cutscene you will need to jump since the bosswill be in the middle of jumping strike as the cutscene ends. While one of thebosses has both swords they will do the attacks of both Agni and Rudra. Youwill have to listen to the phrase that they yell out and which arm they pullback to know what attack they will do. The boss will be able to do both ofAgni and Rudra's super attacks in one big super attack. They will also have anew super attack in which they will send a constant group of three flame wavestoward you. You will need to walk in between the flames or roll through them.The same rules as when you were fighting them together still apply to thisbattle. You can still knock the swords out of the boss' hand to stun him, butit is much harder now.

VERGIL - Use the Force Edge ground combo, the Yamato air attack, or Beowulf'sLunar Phase while the bosses are stunned. You can easily spam both

bosses with the Yamato air attack the entire battle and come outvictorious. When you attack them with the air attack, just barely tapthe jump button and slash then repeat. The Yamato Aerial Rave is also


32/142

the best way to knock their sword out of their hands with Vergil. Hitone of them and make him block then right before he attacks, tap thejump button and use Aerial Rave. This will almost always knock thesword out of that boss' hand. Be sure to spam them with SummonedSwords as they run away or run toward you. Another good method forVergil is to avoid their attacks by Tricking Up right before theyattack then come down upon the with a Helmet Breaker. The Tricking Up

method works really well for when there is only one left.

DANTE - Have Cerberus' Lv.2 Revolver and hit them with it as they attack toknock the swords out of their hands. This move is capable of removingboth the weapons from each boss' hand at once if timed correctly.Cerberus will take double damage at all times from Agni because of hisweakness to ice. Use Ebony & Ivory while dodging their attacks from adistance.

== Mute Goddess' Chamber ==

Jump on top of the Goddess statue for some extra red orbs. Head through thered double doors.

== Chamber of 3 Trials ==

Here you will have a choice of three trials. You must complete at least two ofthem to advance further. Place the two Essences from any two of the trials onthe goddess statue to get rid of the debris in front of the door in the MuteGoddess' chamber. If you place three Essences on the statue you will receiveabsolutely nothing (Vergil) or ++ARTEMIS++ (Dante).

== Trial of the Warrior (Right Path) ==

Walk to the middle area and your path will be sealed off. For this battle youwill get a little taste of what it is like to play on Dante Must Die Mode. Try

to fight them right now if you want some DMD mode practice. All the enemiesthat attack will Devil Trigger and become unstoppable when the Sanskrit emblemsare not lit up. You will have to run to each Sanskrit emblem and light each of

them up to cancel the enemies' Devil Trigger mode. As soon as one of theemblems goes out the enemies will return to Devil Trigger mode so you will haveto constantly run back and hit each Sanskrit emblem to light it back up. Thefirst few enemies will be Hell Prides then some Hell Gluttonies and a HellWrath will teleport into the area later. By the end Hell Lusts and Sloths willbe attacking as well. Be sure to take out the Sloths quickly since they can bea real nuisance while Devil Triggered with their teleport attack. Grab the

Essence of Fighting from the pedestal and leave the room.

== Trial of Skill (Middle Path) ==

This trial is all about jumping and dodging. Move out of the way of the wallspikes and jump over the floor spikes while heading down the path to theEssence of Technique. Blood-Goyles and Hell Gluttonies will attack as you goto leave the trial.

== Trial of Wisdom (Left Path) ==

You will have a number of doorways to choose from when you go inside. In order

to solve the puzzle you must go through the correct doorways with the rightcorresponding number of lit up stones above the doorway. If you choose thewrong doorway you will have to fight a group of Hell Prides and Lusts with someBlood-Goyles.

Look at the blue stone tablet outside the trials to find the following message:

"Your wisdom will be put to the test in the chamber ahead. Use your lifetimeexperience: from the crawling infant; to the man standing tall; and finally tothe old man-leaning on his cane."

In other words, the code is the number of limbs that each figure is standing upon.

"From the crawling infant (4); to the man standing tall (2); and finally to theold man-leaning on his cane (3)."

So the correct path sequence is:

*******************Four - Two - Three*******************

Once you have solved the maze you will find the Essence of Intelligence. Walkthrough whichever door of your choosing when you're done to exit the trial.

== The Dark Corridor ==

Hit the Combat Adjudicator to the side with Force Edge (Vergil) or Agni & Rudra(Dante) enough times to get an "Alright!" style ranking and you will receive aBLUE ORB FRAGMENT. There are some red orb pickups above the statue and abovethe stairway down the hall. Walk up the stairs to finish this mission.

VERGIL - Run inside one of the doorways and have all four Hell Prides followyou. Start to jump while inside the doorway and as the Hell Prides

group below Vergil, you should be able to start jumping off of them asyou keep jumping. Virgil's head will continually hit the ceiling ofthe doorway while jumping off of the enemy. This may take a fewtries, but it works well.

DANTE - You can actually use the same method that is used with Vergil.Another way is to have Nevan with Swordmaster Style and continually dothe Air Slash then cancel into Air Play to keep Dante floating in theair. You can also quickly switch to a weapon that will allow Dante todo an Air Hike then switch back to Nevan and repeat. If you are closeto a wall or enemy then you can skip off the wall or enemy when youget near the ground. Nevan's Air Raid will also help you out as well.

Jump away right before theyswing and wait for them to bury the coffin into the ground then attack them.Use either Beowulf's Lunar Phase or the Yamato's Judgement Cut (Vergil) orCerberus' Revolver (Dante) to defeat them quickly.

===============================================================================

Boss - Vergil 1/Red Vergil (Vante)

Vergil is actually pretty easy. Wait for an open spot while dodging one hisattacks then hit him and he will stagger, which will leave him open to quite afew attacks. Eventually he will parry one of your attacks and attack you

immediately afterward. Roll out of the way as soon as you see the attackcoming directly after the parry and you will have another chance to hit him.The main attack you have to look out for in this battle is his Rapid Slash -roll to the side the moment you see him dash. Vergil will always parry thenext hit if you hit him while he recovers from his Rapid Slash. Be carefulabout trying to get a free hit while he taunts since he will sometimes cancelthe taunt into an attack. If he ever teleports, roll immediately since he willtry to hit you afterward. Toward the end of the battle he will teleport to oneof the sides and unleash a gravity wave toward you (Judgement Cut). Dodge thegravity wave with a roll or jump if you are far away, but if you are close,lock onto him and hit him with a Stinger.

VERGIL - Use Vergil's Rapid Slash with Yamato or Force Edge Stinger to hit the

boss while he is recovering from an attack, then combo him withwhatever weapon of your choosing. Force Edge works the best forcatching him off guard.

DANTE - Use Dante's Rebellion Stinger or Agni and Rudra's Jet-Stream to hitVergil while he is recovering from an attack, then combo him withwhatever weapon of your choosing.

================================================================================ Vergil's Attacks ================================================================================Rapid Slash - Vergil will dash across the screen and thrust you with hisYamato.

Yamato Combo - Vergil will hit you two twice with the sheath of his sword thenperform a powerful thrust with the Yamato for the third hit.

Upper Slash - Vergil will uppercut then perform a downward strike with theYamato.

Air Trick Combo - Vergil will teleport directly toward you and start a combothat will begin with a sheath hit then end with either a thrust or the UpperSlash attack.

Taunt - Vergil will taunt just like Dante. Be careful since he will sometimes

cancel the taunt and attack before he finishes. He loves to cancel a tauntinto a Rapid Slash.


38/142

Judgement Cut - Vergil will teleport to one of the sides of the tower andunsheathe his sword quickly and send a gravity wave toward your way.===============================================================================
