I As you play Devil May Cry, you’ll have several opportunities .to buy pbvirerful new
moves. But what many people don’t
. "realize is that Dante begins the game w' 1
a wide variety of useful attacks. Ang sw
attack can turn into one of three different cc
s, as shown in the chart on the right,
le difference is the speed in which you hit tl

easy combos, does a good chunk of damage, and is
[ coolest way of flipping wall switches.

Dante’s Other Moves

I If you check.fhe “Action” section of.your menu, you can read about Dante’s other moves. All,three of these.

i his is actually several moves in one; If you hold RL and press the stick away from your foe when you slash -
with any sword, Dante will launch the enemy into-the air. You can dient <4,^ further

The Roll is the only defensive move in Devil May Cry. .Don’t oyer-

constantly. Devil Form Dante has access' to a different
powerful attacks (sold separately, listed on the next page),
powered-up versions of all of your Human-Form attacks.
So what’s the catch? When you’re in Devil Form, your
Bar gradually fades. When you run out-of • ’
letters on your Devil Bar, you’re back to
human Dante. And you can’t hifcypur Devil
Trigger tig,tin (ie, hit LI to turn back inti
Demon Form) until tit: least three letters ot
your Demo'll Bar fill up again.
Outside of using a Devil Star item, there are two ways to^ffliyoui
Devil Bar. One is to hit enemies, with either swords or guns. Note that you’
don’t need to damage enemies to fill your bar; even if your shots are blocked-
or do no damage, your bar wittifll-. The other iway is to taunt. At any
in the game, Dante can hit the R2 button and make a crude hand ge
The longer you hold the button, the mtjfe Devil Bar energy you’ll re
but you’ll be momentarily vulnerable.

Dishing Out Stylish Combos

As you hit enemies, you’ll notice the game ranking your performance in the upper-
right hand comer of the screen. There are five different' comments, the first letters of I
•which mimic the game’s D-C'-B-.VS ranking structure. These combos aren't: iust fc

The more Red Orbs you get, the better your overall ranking. The chart to the left
shows how many orbs you get for bjBjbag a mingnette at each combo level, and the dif¬
ferences are certainly significant. .

that it’s over. Your hit will start a new combo at ‘Dull.”
Some weapons and skills it getting combos, but others , an

add to a combo, they will sustain it when in midair. Whenene

it with your handguns as vou walk to the foe, and then quickly star

tut keep^ the enemies occupied and unable to counter-attack.
; Other moves that arfe great for combos-include the Hundred Hani
Slash, which is a combo all by itself, and your Devil Form handguns. If yoi
hit your Devil Trigger and start firing into a crowd eKenemies, you’ll quickl-
be in Absolute territory. They can’t make it all the way to Stylish, but.if yoi
approach an enemy and hit it with a different attack, you can continue thi
combo. We’ll discuss other combo tactics throughout the walkthrough, bu

Secret Mission 5 [One Eyed Devil]
Lure the Kyklops into their mutual death.

'■ Condition - available anytime

This Mission takes place in the room where you got the Rusty Key.
The point of this mission is to get the two Kyklops to kill each other.
So stand right in between them, wait for them to shoot their giant
boulders, and jump out of the way. Air Hike is really useful here, as
it keeps you out of danger that much longer, so use it if you got it.
The Blue Orb fragment will appear as soon as the first spider dies,
and you’re then free to slaughter the remaining spider.

Secret Mission 6 [Wandering Ghosts]

Acquire the Blue Orb that’s floating in the air.

Retries - YES Difficulty Condition - available anytime

As soon as this Mission 11 begins, step right back through the

door behind you. The point of this mission is to jump off of the
Sin Scissors to get to the Blue Orb fragment floating in the sky.
The most challenging aspect of this mission is figuring out where
exactly the stupid Orb is. If you stand at the spot shown, about
3/4 of the way from the door to the large weed on the path,
you’ll be right underneath it. Just keep jumping straight until a
Sin Scissors ends up in just the right position above you for an

Acquire the Blue Orb at the end of the stairway of death.

Re-enter the Coliseum to begin the Secret

Mission 9. To complete it, you’ll need to jump up
the stairway of skulls and pick up the Blue Orb
fragment at the top. It’ll take four quick hops,
and then jump back from the top skull, since the
Orb fragment is actually located above the second-

Mission 16
Secret Mission 10 [ Shadow of Darkness]
Hunt down all the Shadows.

Retries - YES Difficulty Condition - After nightmare battle

If you return to the airplane hangar room after defeating Nightmare, this mission will begin. The
objective is to hunt down and eradicate the four Shadows on the ground floor of the castle. Two are
in this room, crouched on the wing of the air-
plane. Once you lure them off the plane, jump
back up there and fill your Devil Bar with taunts
or cheap shots. The next is in the main hall,
where you found that second Blue Orb fragment
way back in Mission 1. The last is in the
• portcullis room, through the red door. When all
four are dead, you’ll get the Blue Orb fragment.
