SuperCheats.com Unofficial Guide to Devil May Cry 4 Capcom's highly regarded hack and slash series, Devil May Cry, originated on the PlayStation 2 console back in 2001. The first title follows a half-demon bounty hunter named Dante on his quest to slay the demon emperor Mundus. The second installment, Devil May Cry 2 (PS2, 2003), again features the devil hunter Dante as its main protagonist, this time joined by a female warrior named Lucia. DMC2 is generally regarded as a disappointment among fans of the series, the main reason being the noticeable decrease in difficulty from the original game. However Capcom rebounded with a prequel to the first game, Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening (PS2, 2005). The unforgiving gameplay that the original Devil May Cry was known for returned with a number of enhancements to the combat system. At long last, the highly anticipated fourth installment of the series has made its way to next-gen consoles, and the combat is as stylish as ever. Devil May Cry 4 introduces a new character by the name of Nero, a Holy Knight of the Order of the Sword. Don't fret Dante fans, for the legendary devil hunter is playable here too, though he's not the main protagonist in this one. Set in the castle town of Fortuna, the mysterious Order of the Sword group is in turmoil following the death of their leader at the hands of a mysterious assassin. As Nero, it's your job to hunt the man and confront him. The land of Fortuna is a dangerous place, inhabited by a variety of malevolent demons. Don't worry though, as this guide is here to help you. Herein you'll find walkthroughs for each of the game's twenty missions, including strategies to aid you in defeating every boss creature, and tips to help you cut through the droves of demons encountered along the way. There are also strategies for all twelve of the secret missions, directions to each and every Blue Orb Fragment, and a complete listing of unlockable content. Note --This guide was written based on the Devil Hunter difficulty with Automatic turned off. The strategies and information contained within still apply to the Human difficulty level, but player and enemy strength varies depending on difficulty. page 3 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Devil May Cry 4 - Mission 01: Birds of a Feather You're up against Dante here, the main antagonist of the first three games in the Devil May Cry series. If you've played any of the other games in the series prior to this, you know that Dante is unmatched in his combat abilities. Luckily, the first mission in Devil May Cry 4 serves as a helpful tutorial, and the absence of a health bar means that you're definitely going to make it out of this one alive. Dante Gunplay You'll learn the bare essentials of combat through this bout. The first lesson is in gunplay; you must knock Dante back with bullets a total of five times to move on. Lock-on to your target (hold down the RB button on the Xbox 360 version, R1 on the PS3 version) and tap the Long-range attack button (X on Xbox 360, Square on PS3) until the counter in the bottom-right corner of the screen records five hits. Next up is evasion; first, Jump and successfully avoid Dante's gunfire three times, then successfully dodge the gunfire three times with the Side Roll ability. After a short cutscene, Nero acquires the Red Queen blade, giving you the chance to practice melee combat. Wait until your opponent taunts, then rush towards him and perform Red Queen Combo A. Hit Dante with this combo three times to move on to the next lesson. The High Roller ability will prove useful throughout your adventure, so learn it well. Again, wait until Dante is taunting, then move in and use the technique as instructed. Your final lesson is the Buster ability; simply approach Dante and use Buster to perform a powerful attack. Melee Combat Opera House -- Boss Battle: Dante Now that you're familiar with the basics of combat, it's time to put that knowledge to use in an actual fight. Your own health bar is now visible in the top-left corner of the screen, while your opponent's appears at the bottom. Dante definitely isn't at his best here, so walking away from this battle with a win is not too difficult a task. You were page 4 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. taught several useful combat maneuvers during the tutorial part of this mission that will definitely aid you in this fight. If you need a reminder, press start at any time during the battle and select 'Skill List' from the menu for a list of the skills Nero knows and how to perform them. Battle The High Roller and Buster skills are especially effective against Dante. For a damaging combo, first use High Roller to sweep Dante up into the air, then quickly use Buster to launch him down to the ground below. Using Buster while on the ground and not locked-on to your target causes Nero to grab Dante and smash him into the ground a few times, knocking off a significant amount of health. You'll want to avoid gun use during this battle, as Dante can usually manage to use his own gun to negate your bullets. Of course, offense is only one part of any fight, you'll also have to use the evasive maneuvers learned through the tutorial to avoid Dante's attacks. During the fight, be sure to direct some of your attacks towards the benches scattered around the Opera House to find Red Orbs which can be used to purchase items via a Divinity Statue or the 'Power Up' option on the Mission Start screen. Continue to pelt Dante with attacks until his health bar is depleted to clear the mission. page 5 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Devil May Cry 4 - Mission 02: La Porte De L'Enfer A group of Scarecrows will immediately spawn a short distance ahead of you. Scarecrows are one of the weakest enemies in Devil May Cry 4, so fighting them is a great way to further familiarize yourself with the game's combat system. Once the group of Scarecrows has been dealt with, proceed through the blue door in the northeast corner of the plaza. Storehouse Upon entering the Storehouse, the camera reveals a Gold Orb nested in a small alcove above some steps. You'll have to perform a Kick Jump to get to this orb. First, head up the steps and face the wall, then jump up into the air while holding forward on the Left Thumbstick (or Analog Stick) and press the Jump button again when Nero reaches the extent of his jump to jump off of the wall and into the alcove. Alcove Gold Orb Gold Orbs can be used to revive your character upon death. By using one, you can avoid having to revert back to the mission's last checkpoint. Gold Orbs are not very common, nor do they come cheap, so try your best to hold on to them. Cathedral When you're ready to move on, head up the stairs, hop across the broken section, and proceed into the next room. A short cutscene introduces a group of Scarecrows. Take out the enemies once you've regained control over Nero, then head through the door at the far end of the room. There's nothing of interest in this area, so go through the red door to reach the Cathedral. Move down the stairs to the glowing altar at the bottom of the area and examine it to receive the Evil Legacy key item. Pillar Evil Legacy page 6 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. With this item, the Hell Bound, Snatch, and Devil Snatch abilities are useable. Nero can use Hell Bound on Grim Grips to travel long distances. Hell Bound can also be used to launch Nero towards unsnatchable enemies, too. There is a Grim Grip launch pad across from the altar that held Evil Legacy. Stand on the launch pad, lock-on to the Grim Grip and tap the Devil Bringer button to pull Nero up to the second floor walkway. Use the second launch pad at the walkway's west end to reach the parallel walkway. Move to the end of this walkway and then through the door. Tip -- A Vital Star S can be found in one of the cells along the southern end of the Cathedral's first floor; locate the star and use Snatch to take it into your inventory. Grim Grip Grim Grip Use Hell Bound to quickly cross the Business District, completely avoiding the mess of demons in the streets below. You can attempt a secret mission by examining the piece of parchment attached to the centerpiece in the circular room, but you may want to pass this by as your skills may not be up to par this early in. Another Grim Grip launch pad lies at the end of this walkway; use it to reach the walkway of another building. Kill the group of Scarecrows that spawns, and then use Hell Bound to reach the next building. More Scarecrows… Kill them to unblock the doorway, and then proceed into the next area. Business District Residential District Drop down into the alleyway below and wipe out the Scarecrows at the opposite end. When the Scarecrows have been dealt with, approach the Red Orb cluster midway down the street and pummel it with quick attacks until it shatters. page 7 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Red Orb Cluster Blue Orb Fragment -- Jump up onto the building behind the Red Orb cluster, hug the wall and hop into the small crevice above the lower roof. The Blue Orb Fragment is tucked away in this crevice. Crevice Blue Orb Fragment Make your way to the end of the street. A large steel tower sits at the southern end of this area; Kick Jump up to the top of it and wait there for a moment to reveal a stash of Red Orbs. Afterwards, approach the door at the end of this area and use it to enter Port Caerula. Port Caerula Move to the end of the dock at the west end of the port and use the Grim Grip launch pad to reach the other side port. Head through the door at end of this section to enter the Customs House. Tower Grim Grip page 8 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Kill the group of Scarecrows that spawns, then approach the wheel that was hidden behind the red mesh. Rapidly slash the wheel until the blue mesh blocking the doorway above dissolves. Examine the console here to trigger a brief cutscene. Afterwards, return to the Port Caerula dock area. Another group of Scarecrows spawns outside the Customs House. Defeat the enemies and make your way back to the other end of the port using the Grim Grip. Wheel First Mining Area Move to the north end of the port and cross the recently lowered bridge. Head through the door there to reach the mining area. A large group of Red Orbs can be found at the south end of the waterway, so drop down and collect the orbs, then hop back to the upper level. When you're ready, use the pair of Grim Grips to reach the upper walkway. Bridge Grim Grip Blue Orb Fragment -- Attack the Combat Adjudicator and attain a combo grade of B to receive a bunch of Red Orbs and a Blue Orb Fragment. page 9 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Combo With the Divinity Statue, you can use Proud Souls to gain new skills and combat abilities, and spend Red Orbs on items. There's a tough enemy waiting for you through the next door, so you may want to purchase a few healing items. Divinity Statue Ferrum Hills -- Boss Battle: Berial The towering Berial poses a significant threat, as his attacks are quick and quite damaging as well. Blast the demon with Blue Rose as he closes in on you. Bullets are nigh useless against this beast, but you may as well chip off a bit of his health bar before getting down to business. Berial's attacks are usually hard to detect, so you're definitely not going to make it out of this one unscathed. When you see the demon raise his flaming sword, prepare to use the Side Roll ability and avoid the swipe that follows. You can also hop over Berial's horizontal sweeps, but this attack usually comes quickly and is in some situations (such as while you are in the middle of an attack), completely unavoidable. page 10 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Berial Luckily Green Orbs are made available when Berial smashes one of the ruined houses in the village. The only issue here is that Berial's attacks cover a wide range, which can cause him to break too many of the houses quickly, resulting in an excess of Green Orbs. To combat this, try your best to lure Berial to one section of the village and face him there. If you're taking a lot of damage and your health is dwindling, lead the beast towards a fresh group of houses, lead him around until he destroys them, then collect the Green Orbs to restore some of your health bar. When you've managed to get close enough to Berial without being tossed about, jump up into the air and use Hell Bound to launch Nero towards Berial's head. Slash the beast's face by rapidly tapping the Close-range attack button while Nero falls. You can use Hell Bound and attack Berial in this fashion while his back is turned too, but be careful as he can quickly whip around and slash you with his sword. You can slash his legs and mid-section too, but this doesn't seem to be quite as effective, and you'll have to work harder to dodge his attacks. Once you've dealt enough damage to Berial, his flames dissipate and he becomes stunned. While the beast is in this state, approach him and use Buster to deal some heavy damage to him. You can hit him with another super combo if you can reach and Buster him before he gets up. When Berial begins to snap out of his stunned state, run as far away from him as you can; upon waking, he'll let off an explosive hellfire attack that is quite difficult to avoid. After you have managed to stun Berial at least once, a flaming pillar attack is added to his arsenal, but that can be dodged easily enough with the Side Roll ability. Stunned Berial Continue to attack Berial until his health bar is completely spent. When the demon falls, he'll leave behind a heap of Red Orbs. Collect the orbs, and then head up the stairs at the end of the area to clear the mission. page 11 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Devil May Cry 4 - Mission 03: The White Wing Now would be a good time to acquire some new skills with the Proud Souls you earned at the end of Mission 2. There is a Divinity Statue in the starting area, denoted on the mini-map by a yellow symbol. Some useful Red Queen skills are Streak, Split and Red Queen Combo C. For Blue Rose, purchase at least Charge Shot, as it can be used to knock back most enemies. The Air Hike and Speed abilities are also useful. Of course, you won't have enough Proud Souls to purchase all of these skills, as some of them are quite costly, so purchase the ones you can for now. Second Mining Area Start down the tracks and turn left when you reach the split. Smash the board at the dead end to reveal a Red Orb cluster. Pummel the cluster with quick attacks until it shatters, then turn around and follow the tracks into the next area. Jump up onto the wooden tower in the northwestern corner of the area and use Hell Bound on the Grim Grips and begin your ascent. Hold down the Lock-on button and aim towards each subsequent Grim Grip until you reach a small wooden platform. Red Orb Cluster Grim Grips Blue Orb Fragment -- When you reach the tunnel entrance, hop onto the board to the left. From this platform, jump up onto the higher one. Here, use the closest Grim Grip to propel yourself towards the second. Grab hold of the second Grim Grip to swing towards the metal sheet and Kick Jump off of it. Immediately after using Kick Jump, grab hold of the Grim Grip above to reach a higher area with two more Grim Grips. Grim Grips Blue Orb Fragment This next part can be tricky, you have to hit these last two grips bang on to get to the Blue Orb Fragment platform. After using the middle grip, immediately latch on to the final one and you should land directly on the platform. You really need to hit the last grip as soon as you can, or you'll just miss the platform. page 12 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Blue Orb Fragment -- The Roulette Spin and Streak 2 skills and the Air Hike ability are needed to reach this fragment. All of those skills together are quite costly, so you may have to leave this one alone for now and come back to it later. If you think you might have collected enough souls to purchase those skills if you had them all back, you could get a refund from the Divinity Statue at the beginning of the level. To get a refund, select the 'Cancel All' option on the Skill Up menu. You can purchase the abilities needed to get the orb, then return to the statue and get your old skills back. Secret Area Blue Orb Fragment The secret area that holds the Blue Orb Fragment is across from the tunnel entrance that is reached by using the first batch of Grim Grips in this room. To get to this area you'll need to use mid-air attacks to cross the gap. First, stand on the wooden platform and face south. Next, use Streak 2 to propel Nero forward, then use Roulette Spin and immediately after that, use Air Hike. Hopefully you are above the platform, or at least close to it; use Roulette Spin again if necessary. This is a tough one to get and might require a few tries, but if you're using the right skills, you'll get it eventually. When you're ready to proceed, go through the tunnel entrance and clear out the Scarecrows that spawn. Afterwards, hop up the ledges at the northern end of the room. Turn left into the dead end and grab the Vital Star S there, then smash the board up ahead and follow the tunnel to its end. Fortuna Castle Gate Travel down the snowy pass until you reach a broken bridge. A cutscene introducing a pair of Frosts is triggered at this point. These guys sure pack a punch, but they certainly aren't anything you can't deal with. They have a variety of powerful melee attacks and a few ice based ones that can freeze Nero. In the event of Nero being frozen solid, rotate the Left Thumbstick or Left Analog Stick until the ice veil shatters. Frosts are snatchable, so use Snatch to pull one towards you and then perform a devastating combo. Use Buster while on the ground and Nero will grab hold of the Frost and swing it around, possibly inflicting damage on the second if it's nearby. Once your enemies have been dealt with, make your way across the Fortuna Castle bridge to trigger another cutscene. Afterwards, approach the large doors and enter the castle. page 13 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Fortuna Castle Fortuna Castle -- Grand Hall You don't yet possess the tools to break the coffin in the middle of the Grand Hall, so head through the door at the western end of this area to enter the Large Hall. Start down the hall and turn left as soon as you can. Go through the door here to reach the Torture Chamber. A large group of Scarecrows spawns in the middle of the chamber, fight them off until the red mesh blocking the doorway disappears, then go through that doorway and head up the stairs. Torture Chamber Through the doorway at the top of the stairs, you find yourself on the second floor of the chamber. Latch onto the grip at the other end of the chamber to reach that platform. Another grip will appear; use it to reach the side platform. This is where things get tricky; you must make it to the upper doorway at the eastern end of the chamber, but the ceiling is lined with razor-sharp spikes, posing a significant threat. If you use the grip in such a way that Nero is propelled upwards into the spikes, he'll take some nasty damage and probably fall back to the first floor. Falling back to the first floor triggers another group of Scarecrows which you must then face in order to clear away the red mesh blocking the doorway. So by all means, avoid touching those spikes. Torture Chamber Grim Grips While standing on the northeastern platform, one stationary grip and another mobile grip must be used to cross to the platform at the other end of the chamber. Wait until the mobile grip is just about to line up with the platform, then grab hold of the stationary grip and immediately latch onto the mobile one. Be sure to use the second grip as soon as you are able to, because Nero may be flung into the spikes above if you let him fall too far. To cross the next set of grips, wait until the grip closest to you has just appeared, then grab it and the other two immediately after each other to make it safely to the next platform. page 14 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. On this platform, the grim grip closest to you flickers in and out of existence. Wait until it has just appeared before latching onto it, then immediately use the second one to reach the last platform. To cross the final stretch, wait until the middle grip is about to line up with the one closest to you before latching onto the first, then quickly grab the final two to reach the doorway. Go through the door at the end of the corridor to reach the second floor of the Grand Hall. Grim Grips Final Platform Fortuna Castle -- 2F Move to the other end of the walkway and go through the only accessible door. You'll meet a pair of Frosts about midway down the courtyard walkway. Once the Frosts have been dealt with, move to the end of the walkway and head through the door there. In Foris Falls, make your way to the door in the northeastern corner of the area and head through. Tip -- A Vital Star S can be found floating above the lamppost at the northern end of Foris Falls. To reach this item, Kick Jump off of the post's eastern face and land on top of it. Once you're atop the post, jump into the air and clip it to take the star into your inventory. Head to the other end of the Central Courtyard's eastern walkway and go through the door there. Start down the walkway until you reach a blue wheel. Attack the wheel until the barrier surrounding the area falls. Wheel Blue Orb Fragment -- There is a large mirror along the eastern wall, just beyond the door. Hit the mirror until it shatters, revealing the Blue Orb Fragment in a small alcove. page 15 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Mirror When you're ready to proceed, use the door along the eastern wall to enter the Gallery. Kill the Scarecrows that spawn to remove the red mesh blocking the doorway, then head through the door in the southeastern corner of the Gallery. Move to the opposite end of this section to find a Divinity Statue. Utilize it if you wish otherwise head through the doorway across from it. Library -- Bianco Angelo Upon entering the Library you'll encounter a new enemy. This isn't quite a boss battle, but this enemy may be tough this early on in the game. The Bianco Angelo carries a massive shield, wields a hefty lance, and is surprisingly agile. He can fly, too. The knight's lance can dish out some serious damage, so be ready to Side Roll out of the way if you notice your enemy readying a charge. Charged Shot can be used to knock the knight back when its shield is down, which occurs when it's readying a charge or hovering in the air. This enemy is unsnatchable, so use Hell Bound to launch Nero towards it once it's been knocked to the ground. An effective combo against this enemy is High Roller into mid-air Buster. All together that's a Charged Shot knock down, Hell Bound towards the downed knight, and High Roller into Buster. While an effective tactic against one Bianco Angela, it can be difficult to pull off with more than one in the area. Divinity Statue The Buster skill can also be used while on the ground, though this is more dangerous because you have to wait until the knight lowers its shield to attack. Get behind your enemy with Hell Bound and use Buster before he can turn around. When you're facing a number of them, just use Hell Bound to get behind one and either slash away at its back, or use Buster to deal some heavy damage. The jars in this room contain Green Orbs, so break them open if your health begins to dwindle. Once the white knights have been dealt with, examine the altar in the north room to obtain the Anima Mercury key item.

Devil May Cry 4 - Mission 04: Cold Blooded Approach the Gyro Blade at the west end of the Library and hit it with Buster to bring it to life. Afterwards, use Buster to push the Gyro Blade across the room and into the closed door. Gyro Blades can break doors that are marked with these symbols; smashing this one allows you to exit the Library. Gyro Blade Closed Door Return to the Gallery; a red mesh immediately covers the exit, and a group of Frosts and Scarecrows spawns. You can activate the Gyro Blade in this room and use it to damage the enemies here if you are so inclined; doing so is in no way necessary, however. Slashing the Gyro Blade in quick succession while it's active sets it spinning, razor-sharp blades protruding from its sides. Once the enemies have been dealt with, break the destructible objects in the Gallery to get some Red Orbs before returning to the Grand Hall. Grand Hall Drop down to the first floor of the hall and approach the coffin. There's a dormant Gyro Blade north of the coffin; locate the Gyro Blade and punch it into the coffin to destroy it, uncovering a seal.You cannot use this now, but it will prove useful later. For now, enter the Large Hall using the door at the east end of the hall. Coffin Gyro Blade Large Hall -- Gyro Blade Puzzle Move down the hall until you reach a blocked doorway. Two Gyro Blades must be set onto the remaining pedastles here. Use Buster to activate either of the two Gyro Blades here now, and then punch it down to the west end of the hall. When you reach the end of the hall, punch it into the gate there to free another Gyro Blade. Leave the Gyro Blade you used to smash the gate behind and punch this new one back to the blocked doorway. Some demons page 18 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. spawn down the hall; simply slash the Gyro Blade a couple of times to set it spinning and punch it down the hall to easily to clear them out. When you reach the blocked doorway, place the blade on one of the empty pedestals. Afterwards, use the door midway down the east end of the hallway to enter the Dining Room. Blocked Doorway Gyro Blade Gate A pair of white knights occupy this area. Eliminate them, then move north and enter the corridor at the end of the room. Turn into the dead end to find another Gyro Blade. Use Buster to activate the blade, and then punch it towards the fireball corridor. Punch the Gyro Blade in front of you to move down the corridor without taking damage from the unceasing fireballs. You won't take any damage as long as the Gyro Blade is ahead of you. At the end of the corridor, punch the blade into the machine to destroy it. Gyro Blades Fireball Hallway You can attempt Secret Mission 02 if you wish; check out the 'Secret Missions' section for more info. When you're ready to proceed, head through the door across from the Secret Mission parchment. A group of Scarecrows spawns in the fenced off area here; the Gyro Blade in this room can be used to quickly take them out if you wish. Once the Scarecrows have been dealt with, locate the wheel and start pummeling it with attacks. The wheel will open the cage's gate, allowing you to enter the hall and move the Gyro Blade onto the final pedestal. page 19 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Secret Mission 02 Wheel Central Courtyard -- Boss Battle: Bael The two Rusalkas will effortlessly dodge any attempt you make to use Snatch or Buster on them, so hit them with standard melee attacks instead. The seemingly harmless Rusalkas are actually attached to a hideous toad demon named Bael. He'll reveal himself once you've dealt enough damage to the Rusalkas. While far from agile, Bael can move around the courtyard by leaping up into the air and then landing on the ground with a devastating thud. As soon as Bael leaps up into the air, start running in any direction and then Side Roll in an attempt to avoid the subsequent body slam. Bael Bael has a variety of attacks in his arsenal; a couple of ice based ones that can freeze Nero, and a few brutal melee attacks. One attack in particular to watch out for is Bael's lunge attack in which he attempts to catch Nero in his open mouth and then chew on him. This attack deals a large amount of damage, so be ready to Side Roll out of the way when Bael lunges forth. It's quite hard to dodge Bael while you're attacking him, but side rolling can save you in most cases. Most of his melee attacks are tough to dodge if you are too far away from him, but by keeping close to him you should be able avoid the majority of his melee attacks with the Side Roll ability. You might even be able to get behind Bael after successfully dodging one of his attacks, allowing you to chip away at his health bar while he turns around or before he leaps up into the air. Bael has a couple of long-range ice attacks, too; side rolling or jumping should be enough to get you out of the way, but if you do get caught by one of his ice attacks and Nero becomes frozen, rotate the Left Thumbstick (or Analog Stick) until the ice shatters. Bael will occasionally hide himself away and leave you to deal with the Rusalkas. Henceforth, they aren't nearly as passive as they were during your first encounter with them. You'll want to be careful when facing the Rusalkas again, as their attacks can deal a fair amount of damage. While they are out, focus all of your attacks on a single one, page 20 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. because if you deal enough damage, she will become stunned and you can then use Buster on her to pull Bael back into the battle. If you don't manage to stun one of the Rusalkas and bring Bael back in this fashion, however, he will eventually reenter the battle and attempt to catch Nero in his open mouth, so start running to one side and Side Roll to avoid him. If Bael sustains enough damage, he'll fall over stunned; this is your chance to knock off a sizeable chunk of his health with Buster. Bael will likely become stunned at least twice during this fight, so don't stray too far from him to avoid missing an opportunity to hit him with a the special Buster combo. When Bael is close to death, his skin shifts to a reddish tint and he'll begin to attack more aggressively. If at any point he freezes while in this state, immediately get away from his face, as the ice quickly shatters and Bael will lunge forward. If you're low on health and willing to risk it, jump up and slash the Rusalkas while Bael is frozen to squeeze some Green Orbs out of them. Once you've managed to bring Bael down, you'll obtain a Rusalka Corpse. With this item, Nero's Devil Arm will glow while near a secret (i.e., Red Orb stashes, Blue Orb Fragments, and Secret Mission parchments). Collect the mass of Red Orbs that the demon leaves behind, then head through the door on the west side of the courtyard to clear the mission.

Devil May Cry 4 - Mission 05: Trisagion Right off the bat, a pair of Mephisto manifest and attack. These guys look scary, but their ethereal cloaks can be snatched away, leaving behind a pathetic, writhing, insect-like creature. The Mephisto can be hard to grab while they're cloaked, so wait until one is readying an attack and then use Snatch several times to remove its cloak. Your enemy is snatchable once uncloaked, so pull the pathetic thing towards you and dish out some damage with a combo. If you aren't quick enough, the exposed Mephisto will don its cloak again; just snatch it away once more and finish it off. Since you're facing two of them, try using Streak to push the uncloaked Mephisto away from the other to avoid attacks from the cloaked Mephisto. Rusalka corpse you acquired after defeating the boss at the end of the previous mission, Nero's Devil Arm will glow when you reach the stairs at the south end of the area. If you hop off of the stairs and walk underneath the archway you'll find the Secret Mission 03 parchment attached to the base of the stairs. You can't complete this one without the Hold ability, so you'll have to return to this area sometime after completing Mission 08 when it's acquired. Check out the 'Secret Missions' section for more info. Secret Mission 03 Tip -- A Gold Orb sits on one of the stone ledges along the eastern side of the graveyard. To get to this orb, first smash the statue in the middle of the area, hop onto the pedestal, and face east. Next, jump towards the ledge, use Roulette Spin and then Air Hike. If you did this correctly, you should have landed on the middle ledge. From here, use Streak 2 to collect the large Red Orb and Gold Orb on the two other ledges. Stone Ledge Master's Bedroom page 22 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Use the door at the top of the stairs at the south end of the graveyard to enter the Master's Chamber. Kill off the Bianco Angelo in this room and then stand before the fireplace. Jump up and slash away at the mirror until it shatters, revealing the Secret Mission 10 parchment. Attempt this one if you wish; it's one of the easier ones and can be completed with a minimal amount of skills. Check out the 'Secret Missions' section for more info. Secret Mission 10 When you're ready to move on, head through the door at the south end of the room to reach the Torture Chamber. Pummel the wheel to the right to raise the gate before the Gyro Blade. Activate the Gyro Blade and punch it across the catwalk. When you reach the next area, punch the Gyro Blade into the tower to trigger a cutscene. Wheel Gyro Blade Fortuna Castle -- B1 You'll face two Mephisto down here. Use snatch to remove their cloaks and attack while they're vulnerable. Afterwards, approach the pillar and examine it to obtain the Wing Talisman key item. With this item in your possession, you can jump onto the seals and use them to reach the top of the well. A Red Orb cluster can be found in a cell about midway up the well. page 23 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Pillar Wing Talisman Once back in the Torture Chamber, a group of Scarecrows appears and the way out is sealed. Begin fighting the Scarecrows and eventually a pair of Mephistos join the fray. Switch your focus from the lesser demons to the two Mephisto. Focus on one of them at a time; first snatch away its cloak, then use Streak to push it away from the crowd. Repeat this to take out the other Mephisto and then finish off the Scarecrows and leave the chamber. Grand Hall Kill off the two Frosts in the Large Hall and then use the western-most door to enter the Grand Hall. Use the Gyro Blade in this area to bust the coffin in the middle of the room if you haven't already. With the Winged Talisman in hand, the seal underneath the coffin is active; hop onto it to reach the chandelier above, then hack away at its stem to drive it into the portrait of Sanctus, revealing a secret doorway. Proceed through the doorway and down the stairs to reach the Underground Laboratory entrance. Tip -- Use Snatch to grab the Vital Star S in one of the cells on the left side of this room. Active Seal Chandelier Move to the end of this area to clear the mission. page 24 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Mission 06: Resurrection Blue Orb Fragment -- You likely spotted this one during the opening cutscene. Grab the fragment on your way down and then drop down. Once you've reached the bottom, head through the door to trigger yet another cutscene. The enemies you encounter here -- called Cutlasses -- can be a real pain to deal with. If you have the right skills, however, you should have an easy enough time taking them out. First, target one of the Cutlasses, use Charged Shot to stun it and then immediately use Streak or Split to knock the Cutlass up out of the floor. There are three of them here, so use Streak to push the flopping Cutlass away so you can attack it without taking damage from the others. When the three Cutlasses have been dealt with, the red mesh blocking the door at the other end of the tunnel will disappear. Game Room Proceed through the door at the end of the Cutlass tunnel to reach the Game Room. To remove the blue mesh blocking the door at the other end of the room, the Nero statue must reach the space at the end. Yellow circles move the Nero piece to a nearby space of the same color, red spaces spawn a group of enemies or a couple of energy beams, blue spaces spawn Red and Green Orbs, and white spaces have no effect. Dice Game Board The dice will land on the number that was on top when you hit it. With this knowledge you can roll a six every time and get out of this one quickly, or use the first yellow space to jump ahead. Use Buster on the dice shortly after the two appears; if you hit it correctly, the dice will land on six. When the Nero piece reaches the end, head through the door to reach the Containment Chamber Containment Room -- Boss Battle: Agnus This one is simple, really; jump up into the air, use Snatch to pull one of the flying swords to you, then use Buster to launch that sword at the window Agnus is hiding behind. Several swords are in the air at once, so make sure that you'll have enough time to execute Buster without being interrupted by a sword slash. The only threat Agnus poses is that he will sometimes charge the room with electricity. To avoid this, hop onto the circular platform in the middle of the room when the window glows red, as you won't take any damage here. Some of the broken swords may drop Green Orbs, so collect those if your health is low. page 25 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Agnus Buster Continue throwing swords into the window until it shatters. Jump up to the cowering Agnus to confront him and receive a powerful key item, Yamato. With the Yamato you can toggle Nero's Devil Trigger, which will boost up his attack power and speed significantly, and will also restore small amounts of health while it's active. The effects won't last long at first, but Purple Orbs can be purchased from the Item screen to lengthen the D.T. Gauge. The gauge refills when Nero takes damage, deals damage, or when a Devil Star item is used. It can only be toggled when at least three units are full. Yamato Foris Falls Pummel the wheel to extend the bridge across Foris Falls and remove the blue mesh blocking entrance to the stairs. Climb these stairs to the top. Blue Orb Fragment -- At the top of the stairs, notice the fragment hovering in mid-air. You'll need Streak to grab this one. Stand at the end of the platform directly in front of the hovering orb and use Streak to launch Nero into it. Streak 2 might be necessary to make it out far enough, but you can just use Snatch to grab it in mid-air if that's the case. page 26 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Wheel Blue Orb Fragment Head through the door at the top of the stairs once you're ready to move on. Angel Creation Fight off the knights in the first part of the room. The High Roller into mid-air Buster combo works quite well, and if you can manage to get behind one, use Devil Trigger and slash away to make short work of him. The Secret Mission 04 parchment can be found on the wall in the northwest corner of this area. Attempt the mission if you wish; check out the 'Secret Missions' section for more details. There are more knights at the other end of the area, so make your way there and fight them. Proceed through the door once they've been dealt with Secret Mission 04 To Mitis Forest Interact with the console in the Underground Laboratory to seal off the bottom floor. Afterwards, use the floating seals to reach the door at the top of this area. Use the door there to return to the Grand Hall. Head up the stairs, through the smashed Sanctus portrait and exit through one of the doors on either side of it. Move to the end of the courtyard walkway and use the door there. Cross the Bridge in Foris Falls and go through the door to reach the Forest Entrance. Move forward to trigger a cutscene and clear the mission. page 27 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide.

Devil May Cry 4 - Mission 07: The She-Viper The Secret Mission 08 parchment is attached to the stone gazebo up ahead, but don't activate it because Nero does not have the Royal Guard fighting style needed to clear it. You'll have the opportunity to complete this one in a later mission, though, so just ignore it for now. Pummel the Red Orb cluster near the structure to collect a large number of Red Orbs and then make your way to the next area. Secret Mission 08 Red Orb Cluster Before dropping down, follow the path to the left to find a Holy Water and then drop down to the area below to encounter a group of Chimera Seeds. Nero can take one of these guys out with a single Buster, so tear through them one by one, then head to the east end of the area and enter the building there. Holy Water Ruined Church Inside the Ruined Church, Chimera Seeds attach themselves to Scarecrows to form Chimeras. These enemies don't appear to have any more health than the normal Scarecrows you're used to facing by now, but they are a bit more dangerous in that the plant attachment can use its blades to damage you even while its host is on the ground or in mid-air. The blades don't deal a whole lot of damage, but they can kick your style rank down a notch or two if you aren't careful. When the Chimeras have been dealt with, break the glass enclosing the area at the west end of the church and smash the pods there to collect a large amount of Red Orbs. Afterwards, head up the stairs in the southeastern corner of the church and follow the walkway to its end to reach a wheel. Pummel the wheel to spawn tiles which you can then follow to reach the walkway at the opposite end of the church. Don't loiter though; as another tile manifests, the one behind it disappears, so keep moving to avoid falling to the floor below. Once you've made it onto the page 29 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. walkway, use the door at its end to reach the Ruined Valley. Wheel Tiles Ruined Valley Head up the stairs and stand on the seal to spawn a couple of Grim Grips. Use the two Grim Grips to reach a wheel. Attack the wheel until tiles start appearing beyond the nearby cliffside. These tiles act similarly to those you used to cross the Ruined Church, though they are a great deal more hazardous as there is no real pattern to their appearance and disappearance. To make matters worse, two Mephistos will loom over you while you cross the valley. Grim Grip Mephisto Try your best to avoid the specters (or, try to kill them), but concentrate on the tiles around you. If the tiles beneath Nero turn red, quickly move onto a stable set of tiles, in other words, not another red one! In the event that you do fall, you'll find yourself in the Ruined Lowlands where you then must defeat the enemies there before an exit seal will appear. Air Hike can be a real lifesaver (well, a timesaver, at least) here, because it can be used to reach a stable tile as a tile beneath you disappears. Blue Orb Fragment -- This fragment is at the south end of the valley; wait until there are some tiles beneath it, then jump up into the air and take it into your inventory. page 30 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Blue Orb Fragment Once you've safely made it to the end of the line, head through the door there to reach the Lapis River. Lapis River/Ancient Plaza There isn't much to see in this area, other than some Red Orb-holding pods and the Secret Mission 05 parchment. The parchment is attached to a tree in the southwest corner of the area. Attempt it if you'd like; check out the 'Secret Missions' section for more info. Secret Mission 05 When you're ready to proceed, follow the northwest trail to the Ancient Plaza. A group of Scarecrows and Chimera Seeds quickly spawns and the exit is sealed. Clear the area of enemies to remove the red mesh blocking the exit, then follow the trail to reach the Windswept Valley. Windswept Valley/Ruined Valley Activate the Gyro Blade, slash it to set it spinning, and then punch it towards the two doors to destroy them. Set the blade spinning again and launch it at the Scarecrows and/or Chimeras in the area. Afterwards, send the Gyro Blade through the adjacent door to destroy it. Use the door on the other side to reenter the Ruined Valley. page 31 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Gyro Blade Gyro Blade Door The humongous viper in this area is intent on having Nero for a midday snack. Dash across the walkway -- trying your best to avoid taking hits from the viper -- to reach the opposite side of the valley. Once you have safely made it across, head through the door to reach the Forgotten Ruins. Forgotten Ruins Blue Orb Fragment -- Attack the Combat Adjudicator and attain a style rank of A to receive some Red Orbs and a Blue Orb Fragment. Head through the arched doorway and kill the Scarcrows and Chimera Seeds on the other side. Afterwards, move to the end of the walkway. You'll find a Divinity Statue there; you are just before a boss battle, so it would be a good idea to at least purchase some healing items just incase. The Air Hike ability will be of great use against this boss, so use Proud Souls to purchase it if you lack it. It is a bit pricey, but you can select the 'Cancel All' option from the menu to refund the Proud Souls you've spent thus far. Get Air Hike for now; you can always refund again after the battle and get your old skills back if you wish. Divinity Statue When you're ready to go, enter the She-Viper's Den to face Echidna. Den of the She-Viper -- Boss Battle: Echidna The She-Viper has quite a bit of health, but her attacks, while quick, are easy enough to dodge and do not deal very much damage. During the first half of the battle, Echidna's primary attack consists of her shooting up into the air, circling the arena and then lunging through the trees in an attempt to knock you aside. Hold down the Lock-on button to keep track off her movements while she's up in the air. When she thrusts out towards you, Side Roll out of the way just before impact to avoid the attack. page 32 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Echidna When Echinda is not up in the air, she'll be hovering somewhere in the arena. When Echidna begins to twist her torso to the side, jump up into the air to avoid the tail swipe that follows. You can use Hell Bound to pull yourself towards her torso and then hack away while in mid-air. A good combo to use against her while she's hovering: slide towards her with Streak, use High Roller and then Split while up in the air. To add some punch to this combo, while standing a safe distance away, charge up Nero's Blade to Exceed level 3, then use Streak and follow through; both High Roller and Streak are significantly more powerful while Red Queen is powered up. If she becomes stunned (she'll slump down and put one of her hands to her head), use Buster on her to perform a powerful combo. Echidna will also root herself into the ground and release a Chimera Seed or two from the bulb beneath her. Jump up towards the bulb and use Buster to inflict a fair amount of damage. If you have the Air Hike ability, you can leap up onto Echidna's base when she spits out a Chimera Seed to reach her torso. Activate Nero's Devil Trigger while up there and slash away until she bumps you off. If at any point during the battle you are low on health, seek out and destroy one of the pod clusters in the area, as the pods may hold Green Orbs. Once about half of Echidna's health bar has been chipped away, the sky darkens and it begins to rain. At this point, the She-Viper begins to glow yellow and her attack pattern shifts. She has a couple of new moves in her arsenal, including one where she plunges into the ground and raises a number of tentacles in the immediate vicinity. While Echidna is embedded into the ground, approach her and activate the Devil Trigger if you are able to, otherwise slash away until at least three of the bars on the D.T. Gauge are full. If you can deal enough damage to Echidna while she's in this state, she will become stunned; use Buster at this point to deal heavy damage to her. sStay far away from Echinda while she's using her other attacks and wait until she embeds herself in the ground again, as that's the best opportunity to inflict some serious damage. Devil Trigger You'll obtain the Sephirothic Fruit key item once you've manage to best Echinda, but unfortunately she manages to get away. Darn! Nevertheless, approach the gnarled roots in the southwest corner of the den and examine them. They react with the Sephirothic Fruit and wither away, allowing you move on to the next mission. page 33 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Sephirothic Fruit Gnarled Roots page 34 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Devil May Cry 4 - Mission 08: Profession Of Faith Make your way to the west end of the initial area and fight off the Scarecrows and Chimera Seeds there. Blue Orb Fragment -- The pod hanging from the ceiling of the tunnel in the middle of the Ancient Training Ground holds the fragment. Stand below it, jump up into the air and use a normal attack to break it open and claim the fragment. Pod Examine the gnarled roots in the next area; with the Sephirothic Fruit in your possession, they'll shrivel up and clear the way. There's nothing of particular interest here, so head straight for the exit in the southwest corner of the area. Ancient Plaza The Assaults, the reptilian humanoids first encountered here, are much like the Frost enemy that you are already familiar with. They're a bit quicker, though, but that's easy enough to compensate for. As with Frosts, Buster is quite effective when you're crowded, as Nero will grab the Assault and swing it around, damaging the surrounding enemies. These guys are also snatchable, so use this to your advantage and lock one into a combo. Get ready to Side Roll while an Assault burrows underground or jumps up into the air, as it soon thrusts towards you in both cases. Watch out for their projectile attack as well; just jump out of the line of fire to avoid taking damage. These guys also carry shields, but you can simply jump over them to get by this, or use Charged Shot to knock them down, then move in and pummel them. Once the Assaults have been dealt with, make your way to the Windswept Valley using the northeast exit. Windswept Valley/Ruined Church There aren't ant enemies here, so ignore the Gyro Blade and head for the Ruined Church entrance in the eastern corner of the valley. Kill off the Scarecrows and Assaults in the room, then smash all of the pods in the church for a large amount of Red Orbs. Afterwards, pass underneath the stairwell archway and use the Sephirothic Fruit to remove the roots there. Proceed through the door to reach the Lost Woods. page 35 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Roots Lost Woods The inscription on the tablet in the middle of the woods reads: 'This is a gentle forest, yet those who treat her unkindly will fall into darkness. Those who do not wish for darkness should seek the light. For if not, all efforts will be in vain.' Just that bit of information should give you a good idea what the Lost Woods is all about; if you don't follow the light, you'll be aimlessly wandering through the woods. If you head the wrong way, you'll end up in the Hidden Pit area where you then must fight off a group of enemies to make an exit seal appear. Stepping on this seal will bring you back to the initial area of the Lost Woods. Lost Woods Hidden Pit Blue Orb Fragment -- To get this fragment, you'll have give the Hidden Pit a visit. After killing the enemies in the area, stand in front of the seal and spin the camera around to look north. You should be able to spot a Blue Orb Fragment in the trees; stand underneath the fragment and use Air Hike to take it into your inventory. To get out of the Lost Woods you have take the path where the archway shadows are pointing towards the statue in the middle of the woods (see image below). Think how the shadow of something would appear in real life if the sun were shining behind it. If you chose the correct path, you'll find yourself in an area identical to the first. In each instance, take the path that the sun is shining on and you'll soon make it out of the woods. page 36 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Blue Orb Fragment Shadows Forgotten Ruins/Ancient Training Ground Once you have made it out of the woods, head to the other end of the walkway (do not drop down to the area below!) and go through the door there. Defeat the Scarecrows and Assaults near the beginning of the area, then move to the end of the walkway and proceed through the door. You'll be facing a boss in the next area, so use the Divinity Statue to purchase healing items and new skills if you have Proud Souls on hand; Streak, Split, and Air Hike are all good ones to have for the upcoming battle. Grand Album Bridge -- Boss Battle: Angelo Credo Credo is a fierce and masterful swordsman while in his demon form. The hulking Aegis Shield that he holds can block any kind of attack, making it especially difficult to break through his guard. As well as being a solid defender, he's also a heavy hitter. To make matters worse, Green Orbs are scarce during this battle, so you're essentially limited to whatever healing items you might have stored away in your inventory. Angelo Credo Most of Angelo Credo's attacks are quickly executed, but if you dodge the strike using Side Roll or Jump, you can usually get a few hits in while his attack animation finishes. Credo's move pool mainly consists of various sword swings and a couple of powerful combos that can be dodged fairly easily, but there are a couple of moves in particular to look out for. If Credo teleports away from you, it is likely that he will then follow up with a sword throw. The thrown sword travels very fast, but you can get a small Green Orb if you manage to bat it down with a slash. The thrown sword can also be caught using Buster, but Credo has to be just the right distance from you and your timing must be bang on. With too little distance between yourself and Credo, the sword is impossible to catch, so it would be best to simply dodge this attack with a Side Roll than to risk taking damage. If Credo is far away enough page 37 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. from you (i.e., at the opposite end of the platform), use Buster as soon as the sword leaves his hand. When Credo slashes his sword downwards, Side Roll to avoid this attack, move behind him and use Buster while he recovers. Sometimes when Credo is knocked into while his shield is raised, he'll lift his shield up and stand on one leg; get out of the way when you see this animation, because a downward sword swing will follow. If you can get in there with a quick Streak, though, you can interrupt the attack and hopefully start a combo. Once you've broken through his guard, don't let up! Pummel him with normal strikes, Streak, Split, High Roller and normal slashes until he recovers. Activate Devil Trigger if you have Credo locked into a combo and get in as many hits as you can. The Devil Bringer is the key to success here; use Buster on Credo whenever he stumbles backwards or his guard falters. If you deal enough damage to Credo with a single combo, he will stagger on the spot; use Buster at this moment to perform a special variant that'll deal a significant blow to Credo's health. There is a very small window of opportunity to hit Credo while he's staggering, so your best bet is to use Buster as often as possible so you don't miss a chance to deal heavy damage. Buster Once Credo is close to death, he'll kneel, evidently wounded, and become significantly more powerful when he stands back up. He's more difficult to manage during this powered up stage, so activate Devil Trigger and wail on him while he's kneeling; hopefully you can kill him and avoid having to face a stronger, faster, more reckless Angelo Credo. He'll also fly during this stage, and has a new attack in which he summons a number of swords around himself and proceeds to launch them towards you. Credo does not seem to be nearly as defense-oriented during this stage, and should be close to death, so slash away at him to quickly hack off the remainder of his health. You obtain the Aegis Shield once you've bested Credo. The Hold ability is available with this attack. To use Hold, first grab a snatchable enemy with Snatch and then hold down the Devil Bringer button to use that enemy as a meat shield.

Devil May Cry 4 - Mission 09: For You Move south towards the HQ until you encounter a group of enemies. You're up against a couple of Bianco Angelos and a new, more powerful variant, the Alto Angelo. Together, these guys can be tough, as they have a number of group-based attacks. You can actually wipe them all out at once with a simple tactic, but the Charged Shot skill is required to do so. Wait until the knights gather together in the distance and begin to form a mass of energy. Charge Blue Rose and as soon as the ball of energy comes hurtling towards you, blast it to send it back to them. This should destroy each of them and possibly earn you an SSS grade. This is a great way to earn a large amount of Proud Souls, and also to unlock the 'Smokin' Sick Style!!!' achievement on the Xbox 360 version. Angelo Attack SSS Grade Once the knights have been dealt with, enter the Grand Hall at the end of the bridge. Grand Hall Blue Orb Fragment -- Attain an S grade on the Combat Adjudicator in the northeast corner of the Grand Hall to receive a large amount of Red Orbs and the fragment. Tip -- A Devil Star S can be found in the northwestern corner of the hall. Exit through the doorway at the south end of the hall and hit the switch there to trigger a cutscene. Hitting this switch opens up a new path, but also triggers lasers in the Grand Hall. These lasers can take out a bar of health if touched, so coming into contact with them is something you want to avoid. Turn right at the top of the stairs, drop down to a safe spot between the laser there, and then jump up onto the east walkway. Head through the doorway and up the stairs to enter the Key Chamber. Switch Lasers page 39 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Key Chamber Another trio of knights occupies this chamber. A red mesh covers the key item tower, and two rapidly moving lasers effectively block off exit through the doorway at the opposite end of the room. If you are now familiar with the tactic outlined in this mission's opening paragraph, use it to wipe the group out if the opportunity arises. When the knights have been dealt with, approach the tower and examine it to obtain the Key of Cronus key item. Tower Key of Cronus Approach the machine in the middle of the chamber and hit it with a Buster to slow time for a short while. The rapid moving lasers blocking thr western doorway are slowed to a dull pace, allowing you to slip through.. Blocked Doorway Time-slow Machine The Gauntlet Slash the wheel in the southeastern corner of the room until an elevator is lowered. All you must do is kill the enemies that spawn in the elevator to ascend to the next level. When the first batch has been dealt with, step out of the elevator and into the small area. Activate the machine with a Buster to slow time, then move past the lasers and to the elevator at the other end. Kill the Frosts within to reach the third level. page 40 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Wheel Elevator Blue Orb Fragment -- While in the elevator at the third level, turn away from the laser room and drop down from the open doorway to reach an area below. A Blue Orb Fragment can be found here. You'll have to jump to get it, and doing so sets you back to the first level. Activate the wheel again to call the elevator and make your way back up to the third level. Dropdown Blue Orb Fragment Defeat the Assaults to ascend to the exit.. Use the Divinity Statue just before the next area if need be, otherwise head up the stairs to proceed. Agnus' Room -- Boss Battle: Angelo Agnus After facing the Angelo version of Credo, Agnus comes off as a real pushover. While a couple of his attacks can be problematic, they are easy enough to detect and then dodge. Angelo Agnus is not nearly as nimble as Credo, and mainly relies on his demonic powers rather than a sword and shield. While he does carry a hulking blade, his sword swipes are brutish and easily avoided. page 41 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Angelo Agnus Agnus hovers in mid-air for the duration of the battle, which allows him to move around the room quickly. He'll use his sword when close to you; the only attack you really need to watch out for is the downward swing, but there is ample warning for that one; when he raises his sword up over his head, get ready to Side Roll out of the way. Agnus will frequently summon Gladius to aid him in battle, however these creatures can actually be used against him. In their reptile forms, the Gladius glide around the room and will occasionally change to sword form and dart towards you. Use Snatch to knock a Gladius out of the air and embed it into the ground below, then use Buster to pluck it out of the ground and automatically hurl it towards Agnus. The throw will take a second or two to execute, so make sure that none of the other enemies are about to hit you to avoid having your attack interrupted. Using Agnus' own creatures is the easiest way to deal damage to him. One move in particular to watch out for is Agnus' health sapping ability. When you hear him shout 'Your strength is mine!' get ready to jump or Side Roll out of the way, as Agnus will soon charge towards you and attempt to grab hold of you. If he manages to get you, he then proceeds to sap your health to restore a portion of his own health bar. The sapping can be cut short by toggling Devil Trigger. If at any point during this battle you require health, the few cages in the room release Green Orbs when broken. The Gladius creatures sometimes leave behind White Orbs when killed which are used to charge the D.T. Gauge. Another one of Agnus' abilities appears similar to the Gladius summon in its casting, but the disc of energy will instead launch a number of fireballs towards you. A rather lengthy casting, but most of the fireballs can be dodged rather easily if you're a good distance away from the casting. For Agnus' most devastating attack, he summons two Cutlasses, fastens them to his arms and starts to spin towards you. Get as far away from him as you can while this is going on and get ready to Side Roll, as Agnus will throw them towards you once he's done with them. Once Agnus has sustained a certain amount of damage, he will slump over and remain still for a short while. Use Buster while he is in this state to perform a powerful combo, dealing a significant blow to Agnus' health bar. Keep an eye on him to avoid missing the opportunity to use this.

Devil May Cry 4 - Mission 10: Wrapped In Glory Exit Agnus' room to the Gauntlet and step into the elevator to trigger a cutscene. The new enemy that the cutscene introduces is a more powerful variant of the Mephisto enemy you have dealt with previously. The Faust's attacks differ from his lesser counterpart's; his claw swipes cover a wide-range as opposed to the pinpoint precision that the Mephisto usually use, which make his attacks much harder to dodge. The Faust is sided by two Mephisto, so things could get ugly. The Faust's cloak is a bit tougher to remove than a Mephisto's, too. First, jump up into the air and use Buster on the enemy, then immediately start charging Blue Rose; as soon as you touch the ground, lock-on and hit the Mephisto/Faust with Charged Shot. If the cloak isn't removed entirely, use Snatch until the remainder is removed. Wail away on the vulnerable Faust/Mephisto once it's exposed. When the enemies have been dealt with, step out of the elevator and onto the platform. Hit the time-slow machine with Buster, then make your way past the lasers and onto the elevator at the other end of the platform. Attack the wheel on the elevator until the blue mesh blocking the dropdown is removed. Step out of the elevator, hit the machine, move to the first set of lasers and use the dropdown to reach the floor below. page 43 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Devil May Cry 4 - Mission 11: The Ninth Circle Blue Orb Fragment -- There's a Combat Adjudicator at the south end of the Advent Chamber. Attack the Combat Adjudicator and attain a combo grade of SSS to receive a bunch of Red Orbs and a Blue Orb Fragment. You'll have to use a large variety of moves to earn the grade. Combat Adjudicator Blue Orb Fragment Slash the wheel on the eastern side of the chamber to trigger a set of Grim Grips. Use Hell Bound on the grips to scale up to the walkway above. Move forward to trigger a Mephisto and Faust spawn. Defeat the specters, hit the switch at the far end of the walkway and use the lift that appears to reach the second floor. Wheel Lift Advent Chamber -- 2F Approach the gate at the end of the walkway and read the inscription on the tablet to the left. The inscription reads 'Proceeding alone is strictly prohibited.' To open the gate, stand on the pressure pad, then target one of the Scarecrows on the other side and use Snatch to pull it onto the second pressure pad. When the gate is open, kill the two Scarecrows and continue down the walkway. page 44 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Gate Scarecrows You have to hit the two Grim Grips here a certain way to scale the wall at the other end of the pit. Snatch 3 may or may not be required, but use the Divinity Statue to purchase the skill if you lack it to ensure success. Jump towards the first Grim Grip and use Hell Bound to propel yourself towards the second. Latch onto the second grip as soon as you are able to; you won't reach the wall if you wait too long. If you hit the second grip correctly, Kick Jump up the wall to scale the rest of it. Grim Grips The second set of Grim Grips is easier to cross, but you will have to defeat a group of Bianco Angelos if you miss one and fall to the area below. Tip -- A Devil Star S can be found in the pit, just below the high wall. You'll have to defeat the knights that spawn there if you wish to retrieve it, though. Once you've made it over the wall, kill the Alto Angelo there and then slash the wheel until a third set of Grim Grips appears. Use the grips to reach the third floor, then hit the switch and kill the group of knights that spawns. Drop down from the left end of the platform and make your way back to the Divinity Statue on the second floor. Ignore the enemies here and step onto the lift. page 45 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Switch Lift Advent Chamber 3F -- Boss Battle: Sanctus While at first glance Sanctus appears to be nothing more than a frail old man, he is, in fact, no pushover. What he lacks in physical strength he more than makes up for with his demonic powers. The battle begins with Sanctus hovering in the air, enclosed in a protective sphere. The shield must first be shattered before you can inflict any damage. Sanctus can glide around the arena fairly quickly, so breaking the sphere is easier said than done. Sanctus Hell Bound can be used on the two orbs that hover near Sanctus to pull yourself towards him, putting you in prime position to get a few slashes in on the sphere. The sphere will shatter when it sustains a certain amount of damage. Once it's down, do not let up, as Sanctus will eventually restore it, forcing you to bring it down all over again. Hit him a few more times while the sphere is down and he'll fall to the ground, stunned. Slash away while he's vulnerable and then use Buster to perform a special combo that will deal a significant blow to his health. page 46 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Vulnerable Buster Sanctus is completely helpless while on the ground, but while floating in the air he uses a few different attacks, but the majority of those are easy enough to avoid. One attack you will want to watch out for, though, is when Sanctus launches a bevy of fireballs towards you. If you're on the ground and a fair distance from him, simply Side Roll to one side to dodge them all or slash them as they come at you. The fireballs can be tough to dodge while in the process of attacking him, so if you see this attack coming, cease the assault and try your best to avoid getting hit. Sanctus will also summon pillars of energy around him which is almost impossible to avoid when you're near him. If you fail to quickly drop Sanctus to the ground after shattering the sphere, he'll summon a new one, a process which will inflict damage if you're nearby when it happens. When Sanctus covers the ground below him with an energy beam, jump up into the air and execute a slash combo to remain there until the attack ceases. Since this attack is easy to dodge, it's actually a good time to gets some hits in. If you see a good opportunity to damage his shield, activate Devil Trigger to up the damage you'll deal. Continue breaking Sanctus' protective sphere, dropping him to the ground and then using Buster until he is left with about a quarter of his health bar. At this point, a short cutscene is triggered in which Sanctus seeks refuge within the towering Savior. Prepare yourself, as the Savior will then attempt to crush Nero with its fist; Side Roll out of the way just before impact to avoid taking damage. When Sanctus returns to the field, he does so with a couple of new moves in his arsenal. The hovering orbs that surround him can now hurt you; they'll occasionally shoot towards you and inflict damage if they hit. Use Blue Rose to shoot the flaming orbs out of the air and return them to their default nature. Buster Savior Sanctus is especially deadly at this point, because the fireballs he launches, when coupled with the flaming orbs can be difficult to dodge. While Sanctus acts much the same way he did during the first part of the fight, his use of the Savior can make getting the last few hits in difficult because he'll come back out with a fully recharged shield. Whatever you do, don't let up! Get Sanctus out of his shield and attack him while he's vulnerable until his health bar is spent to clear the mission. page 47 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Devil May Cry 4 - Mission 12: A New Beginning Character control now shifts from Nero to Dante. Luckily you retain all of the Proud Souls and Red Orbs acquired while playing as Nero, as well as your health bar and D.T. gauge. Dante is much different than Nero in terms of gameplay; his move list is a lot larger for one thing, and he lacks the Devil Bringer, but his combat style is much more diverse. This transition might be tough to adapt to at first, but you'll likely find that the sheer amount of skills available to Dante makes him both powerful and quite fun to use. In other words, if you were getting by fine with Nero, you should have no problem slaying demons as Dante. Before starting the mission, select 'Power Up' from the menu and enter the 'Skill Up' menu. Purchase all of the sword skills to start, Charged Shot for Ebony & Ivory or Coyote-A, and definitely the Speed and Air Hike abilities. You'll also want to upgrade a couple of styles, but it's difficult to know which ones you prefer without first playing as Dante. If you're looking for an authorial suggestion; the Trickster and Swordmaster styles are enough to get you through most any situation. Ascension Chamber Test out each of Dante's combat styles on the Scarecrows in this room. You'll find that Dante has several moves that are similar to Nero's (Stinger/Streak, Helm Breaker/Split, High Time/High Roller), so he isn't entirely different when it comes to swordplay. Pause the game and open up the Skill List for a complete rundown of the moves currently available to you. Once the Scarecrows have been dealt with, head through the door at the north end of the room. Meeting Room A new type of enemy is encountered here; a larger, more powerful Scarecrow. The Mega Scarecrows can take more of a beating than the standard Scarecrow, deal more damage, and have a projectile attack added to the mix. They're still one of the lesser enemies, though, so they aren't too difficult to defeat this far into the game. Once the enemies have been dealt with, proceed through the door at the north end of the room. Experiment Disposal Approach the lift and examine it to retrieve the Wing Talisman key item that Nero left behind. When the lift reaches the first floor, an ominous message appears on screen; the HQ is about to collapse! You have less than 10 minutes to escape. page 48 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Devil May Cry 4 - Mission 13: The Devil Returns You've been through here before as Nero, but several things differ this time around. For one thing, any path shrouded by black fog will not bring you to the area it should because of Echinda's influence on the forest. To start, move south along the walkway and hop down to the area below. Take the eastern exit, as the other will lead you right back to the Ancient Training Grounds. Forgotten Ruins/Windswept Valley Jump down from the balcony in the middle of the walkway and eliminate the Scarecrows and Chimera that spawn below. Afterwards, move through the black fog at the start of the eastern trail to enter the Windswept Valley. Balcony Chimera Assaults The area is immediately sealed off and a group of Assaults spawns. The trouble with these guys is that they've been taken over by the Chimera in a fashion similar to the Chimera brand of Scarecrow you previously had to deal with. The Assaults are much faster than the Scarecrows, and that quickness, coupled with the almost unavoidable swipes from the Chimeras make this a decidedly deadly pairing. Activate Devil Trigger to take care of them quickly if you must, otherwise pound a way and try to avoid taking too much damage. When the way is clear, head up the stairs to the east and through the black fog to reach the next area. Ancient Plaza/Lapis River More Assaults to deal with here, but luckily these ones aren't infected by the Chimera. Defeat the enemies, then make your way to the north exit and head through to reach the Lapis River. The exit here is actually underneath the bridge in the middle of the area. Eliminate the two Mephisto first if you wish, otherwise move through the black fog below the bridge to proceed. Exit page 49 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Windswept Valley/Ruined Church Use the door up ahead to enter the Ruined Church. Blue Orb Fragment -- Attain a style grade of A on the Combat Adjudicator in the church's western room to receive the fragment and a large amount of Red Orbs. Move underneath the stairs and through the door at the end of the way. Lost Woods/Forgotten Ruins There are a couple more of those annoying Chimera Assaults to deal with here. Take them out (with Devil Trigger active, if you must), or simply avoid them and run to the statue in the center. You've been through the Lost Woods once before, but here's the explanation again, just incase you made it through the first time based on sheer luck. To get out of the Lost Woods, you must take the path where the archway shadows are pointing towards the statue in the middle of the woods (see image below). Think how the shadow of something would appear in real life if the sun were shining behind it. If you chose the correct path, you'll find yourself in an area identical to the first. In each instance, take the path that the sun is shining on -- even if it appears to be the path you used to enter the area -- and you'll soon make it out of the woods. Lost Woods Shadows The way out this time around is east, west, south and south again. In the Forgotten Ruins, use the Divinity Statue if you wish, otherwise exit into the next area to trigger a boss battle. Den of the She-Viper -- Boss Battle: Echidna Echidna's move pool is identical to your first encounter of her as Nero. Dante's combat styles and differing skills mean a slightly different approach this time around. This strategy focuses on the Trickster and Swordmaster combat styles, so remember which buttons are used to toggle them so you can switch between them on the fly. page 50 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Echidna The Trickster style can be used to avoid the majority of Echidna's attacks. Toggle this style while Echidna is flying around the arena. Hold down the Lock-on button to track her movement and use Dash just before impact. While Echidna is floating in the air, if you've upgraded the Trickster style, use Sky Star to propel yourself towards her torso, then switch to the Swordmaster style and use Aerial Rave to deal some damage. Preserve your D.T. Gauge until Echidna roots herself into the ground to spawn Chimera Seeds. Though you can't Hell Bound your way up to her, wait until the bulb below her spits out a Chimera Seed, then Air Hike up onto her mid-section, toggle the Swordmaster style, activate Devil Trigger and use Shredder repeatedly. With a lengthy D.T. Gauge, you can chip away a large portion of Echidna's health here. Throw in a Rebellion Combo B and maybe a Stinger (careful not to fall!) and you can knock her health down quite a bit. Though you can't perform a super Buster as Nero could, you are at least be able to stay in place when Echidna becomes stunned and continue the assault. Rooted Devil Trigger When her health bar has been halved, Echidna powers herself up. She now moves faster and will inflict more damage with each hit. Instead of rooting herself into the ground to spawn Chimera Seeds, she will instead plunge herself into the ground and raise roots around her and attempt to smack you around with them. Avoid the roots and get up to her torso; toggle Devil Trigger if it's available, and hit her with Shredder, Rebellion Combo B and other quick attacks. Avoid her other attacks with Dash and wait until she embeds herself into the ground again before moving in to deal damage. There's also a projectile attack that you'll want to watch out for; keep your distance from her when she is not in the ground and use Dash to avoid taking damage. Once Echidna has fallen, you'll receive the Gilgamesh weapon. Feel free to try it out whenever. Head through the exit in the southwest corner of the den to clear the mission. page 51 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide.

Devil May Cry 4 - Mission 14: Forest of Ruin You'll encounter a new enemy a short ways down the path known as Fault. These guys are more of an annoyance than anything because all they'll is try to trap you in their mouths, which doesn't do any damage. If they do succeed, however, you're in for a bit of an annoyance because you are then brought to the Ruined Lowlands where you must defeat the enemies there to spawn an exit seal. The enemies encountered in the lowlands could very well be those annoying Chimera-infected Assaults, so try your best to avoid being sent there. When you use the seal to exit the lowlands, you'll end up back at the start of the area, which can be quite irritating. page 53 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Devil May Cry 4 - Mission 15: Fortuna Castle Blue Orb Fragment -- Head up the stairs on the right to find a Combat Adjudicator. Attain a style grade of SS to receive the fragment and some Red Orbs. Go through the door in the southeast corner of Foris Falls to reach the Central Courtyard. Central Courtyard -- Blitz About midway down the walkway, a cutscene introduces a brand new type of enemy called Blitz. Blitz are without a doubt the toughest of the ‘lesser' demons that you will encounter in Devil May Cry 4. They are agile and pack quite a punch. Not only that, but they're protected by an electric shield, so any attempt to melee one results in a sharp jolt. The Blitz's electric shield can be removed, however; it's best done using the shotgun with Charged Shot (without locking-on), as well as the Round Trip Rebellion ability. page 54 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Devil May Cry 4 - Mission 16: Inferno A poisonous gas hangs in the air, so you'll be taking constant damage here. Blue Orb Fragment -- A Combat Adjudicator can be found in the initial area. A style grade of S is needed to acquire the fragment, but you have to be quick about it, as the poisonous gas will be zapping your health all the while. Once you've managed an S grade, pick up the Green Orbs to the right of the statue to refill your health bar. page 55 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Devil May Cry 4 - Mission 17: Adagio For Strings Make your way through the mining area to reach Port Caerula. Defeat the Scarecrows and Altos that spawn at the center of the dock and then exit to the Residential District. Another enemy encounter here, this time composed of Mephistos and Assaults. Clear out the demons, pummel the Red Orb cluster until it shatters, then step into the alleyway and through the door at its end. Business District/Terrace More demons; you just can't get a break can you? It's sheer pandemonium; a large number of Scarecrows of both the standard and Mega variety, as well as a pack of Basilisks, occupy the district. Blue Orb Fragment -- Once the district is clear of demons, locate the Restaurant-Café on the west side of the street; about midway down. Air Hike or use Kick Jump to get up onto the awning. Kick Jump up the wall and use Sky Star (Trickster) as soon as Dante reaches the top of the railing. page 56 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Devil May Cry 4 - Mission 18: The Destroyer This mission is just one big boss fight. Your objective; take down the colossal Savior! Now, this is no simple task, even for one as well-versed in combat as Dante. You obtain the Yamato at the start of this mission. With this artifact in your possession, the Dark Slayer combat style can be toggled by attempting to switch to the talent you currently have selected. This weapon won't be of much use during this battle, but it may come in handy during subsequent playthroughs. page 57 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Devil May Cry 4 - Mission 19: The Successor You're playing as Nero once again, which is bad news if it took you awhile to get used to Dante. This entire mission consists of a dice game, similar to the one you partook in within the Underground Laboratory's Game Room. There are several levels to this one, though, but the rules are similar. The Nero statue must reach the circle at the end to progress to the next level. Yellow spaces warp the piece to the exit, red spaces spawn a group of enemies or a couple of energy beams, blue spaces spawn Red and Green Orbs, and the white spaces have no effect. page 58 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Devil May Cry 4 - Mission 20: La Vita Nuova This is it, the final battle! There's no turning back now! Sacred Heart -- Boss Battle: Sanctus Diabolica This battle bears some similarity to your first encounter with Sanctus, as he uses several of the same moves and floats around the area in a protective sphere. However Sanctus is significantly more dangerous this time around (which makes sense, what with this being the final battle and all) and sports a brand new, decidedly evil look. Well, this is it, time to silence this demon once and for all. Yet again, Nero's Demon Arm will serve as the main tool in besting your enemy. First and foremost, Sanctus' protective sphere needs to be shattered, then it's just a matter of knocking him to the ground and hitting him with Buster to perform a powerful combo. Same deal as last time; use Hell Bound on the orbs that float near Sanctus to get close to the sphere and start dealing some damage to it. Activating Devil Trigger will certainly help bring down the sphere faster, so toggle if the gauge permits it.. This guy can be a real pain to knock out of the air once the sphere is broken. He'll either dodge to the side, or throw fireballs to keep you at bay. The fireballs can be easily avoided by dropping to the ground and circling beneath Sanctus. The opportune moment to knock Sanctus out of the air is while he remains still and uses his blade to shield himself from your attacks. At this point, jump up and hit the raised sword with Buster to stagger him, then jump back up to him and slash away to strike him down. Be quick about hitting him once his guard is down, as he recovers quite quickly. When he falls to the ground, use Buster to deal a substantial blow to his health. page 59 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Devil May Cry 4 - Secret Mission 01 -- Annihilation When: Mission 02: La Porte De L'Enfer Where: Terrace/Business District (after crossing the gap with Hell Bound). Objective: Destroy all demons within the time limit. While this secret mission is available during the second mission, it would be a good idea to wait until you've powered up Nero before attempting this. You have 60 seconds to clear out all of the Scarecrows in the area; the mission is a failure if you run out of time. An easy way to clear this mission is to wait until you have attained a lengthy Devil Trigger gauge by purchasing Purple Orbs, as the Devil Buster ability will usually kill a Scarecrow with a single use. You can clear out a good number of them with Devil Snatch, and then finish the rest off with other abilities. The Streak and Split Red Queen abilities are also good to have. If one of your attacks happens to knock an enemy back, don't run after it, but instead use Snatch to pull the Scarecrow back to you. Snatch works while you're up in the air, too. If the Scarecrow falls beyond the Devil Bringer's reach, turn your attention to a different one. In the event of failure, you can immediately retry the mission if that failure wasn't due to Nero's death. Once you've met the objective, pick up the Blue Orb Fragment to clear the mission. page 60 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Devil May Cry 4 - Secret Mission 02 -- Alley-Oop When: Mission 04: Cold Blooded Where: Dining Room Objective: Successfully execute a mid-air buster 5 times without touching the ground. Completing this one requires the right skills and a bit of luck. You'll need Snatch 3 to do this. Make sure that the Lock-on is set to Type 1; you can verify this by pausing the game and entering the 'Options,' then 'Game Options' menu. Your goal is to chain five mid-air Busters using the Scarecrows in the arena. The mission is a failure if all of the Scarecrows die, or Nero's health bar is depleted. The Scarecrows here do pack quite a punch, and you can die in secret missions, so retreat through the door in this area if you're close to death. Start by using High Roller on one of the Scarecrows, then immediately use Buster while in mid-air. As soon as that Scarecrow hits the ground, hold the Lock-on button and push the Left Thumbstick (or Analog Stick) towards a standing Scarecrow. Use Snatch to pull that Scarecrow towards you, then release the Lock-on button and use Buster. Nero can't snatch Scarecrows that are lying on the ground, so you must quickly scan the area below you for standing Scarecrows that can be snatched. Luck plays a small role here, as Nero's Buster can knock down the Scarecrows on the ground below, which could leave none standing if they were close together. Additionally, the Scarecrows can also block Nero's Devil Bringer, effectively ending the chain. You can retry this mission as many times as you'd like, as long as you don't die during it. When you've managed to chain 5 mid-air Busters, collect the Blue Orb Fragment to clear the mission. page 61 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Devil May Cry 4 - Secret Mission 03 -- Nonviolent Resistance When: Mission 05: Trisagion Where: Soldier's Graveyard (return here after completing Mission 08) Objective: Raise your stylish ranking without using attacks. First of all, the Hold ability is required to clear this one. While the parchment is near the beginning of Mission 05, the Hold ability is acquired at the end of Mission 08. Once you have Hold, purchase the Enemy Hike ability as well. To clear this mission, you need to attain a style grade of C without once using an offensive ability. Initially there are two Scarecrows and one Frost in the room. As soon as the mission begins, use Hold on one of the Scarecrows and back yourself against a wall. Wait until either the Frost or Scarecrow (preferably the Frost) hits your shield with an attack, then press the Taunt button to up the style meter. It is important that you do not spam taunts because that won't do you any good; let your shield take a hit before taunting to up the meter. If the Scarecrow you're holding should die, quickly grab the second one. If you are hit at all, whack one of the enemies and retry the mission, because another Frost will spawn in the Scarecrow's place. When the style meter is just about full after a couple of hits and a taunt, Use Enemy Hike to (hopefully) hit C. Collect the Blue Orb Fragment once you've succeeded to clear the mission. This can also be attempted as Dante during Mission 17. If you find it easier, you can use Dante's Royal Block ability with Taunt (and perhaps Enemy Hike) to clear this mission instead. Stand in the L-shaped corridor in the northeastern corner of the room; the Scarecrows won't bother you here, and you can then simply Royal Block the Frost's attacks to up the style meter. Taunt afterwards, then Enemy Hike (if necessary) without getting hit to attain a C grade. page 62 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Devil May Cry 4 - Secret Mission 04 -- Tracking Treasure Down When: Mission 06: Resurrection Where: Angel Creation Objective: Find all the hidden orbs. You have two minutes to find 99 hidden orbs. To start, move south and stand before the large door to collect 30 of the hidden orbs. There are 60 more orbs behind the mirror on the western side of the second floor walkway. To get up to the walkway, Kick Jump off of one of its supports and try to land on the narrow beam that connects it to the pillar. Once you've made it onto that beam, jump over the railing and locate the mirror. Slash the mirror until it shatters. Hop into the little alcove that was behind it and stand there until the orb stash appears. The last batch is at the bottom of the stairs beyond the smashed Sanctus portrait; stand in the middle of that area to reveal the orb stash. Return to the Grand Hall and grab the Blue Orb Fragment near the Gyro Blade to clear the mission. page 63 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Devil May Cry 4 - Secret Mission 05 -- Sky Scraper When: Mission 07: The She-Viper Where: Lapis River Objective: Reach the goal by rising to the top. The Red Queen Roulette Spin skill and the Air Hike ability are needed to complete this one. The Snatch 3 skill would prove useful too, but it's not necessary. You have 60 seconds to reach the Blue Orb Fragment at the very top of this area. To start, jump onto the first seal and use the two Grim Grips above it to reach the second. From the second seal, use the next two Grim Grips to reach the next. After hitting that seal, land on the catwalk above it. Face the gated seal, jump towards it, use Roulette Spin to break the fencing, then use Air Hike and land on the seal. As you ascend, latch onto the Grim Grip above and land on the upper catwalk. From here, use the same Grim Grip to hit the final seal. Land on the ledge and touch the fragment to clear the mission page 64 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Devil May Cry 4 - Secret Mission 06 -- Vermifuge When: Mission 10: Wrapped In Glory Where: Security Corridor Objective: Eliminate all of the Chimera before the Scarecrow is taken over. You'll probably need Air Hike to accomplish this one, so make sure you have it. The objective is to kill all of the Chimera before they can merge with the Scarecrow. This appears to be a difficult task at first, as the Scarecrow starts off surrounded by a mess of them. However there is one way to ensure its safety. The Aegis Shield attained after besting Angelo Credo adds the Hold ability to your repertoire. To use Hold, hit the Scarecrow with Buster, but hold down the Devil Bringer button. The Chimera Seeds are rather fast, and Nero is reduced to a stroll while holding an enemy, so you'll have to jump and Air Hike to avoid the Chimera. Jump towards the steps that lead up to the area at the eastern end of the map. The Chimera will not enter the fountain area, so carry the Scarecrow far into that area and throw him down. Afterwards, head back down the stairs and tear about each and every Chimera Seed with Buster. Collect the Blue Orb Fragment after completing the objective to clear the mission. page 65 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Devil May Cry 4 - Secret Mission 07 -- Free Running When: Mission 10: Wrapped In Glory Where: Meeting Room Objective: Reach the goal without falling through the vanishing floor. Hitting the wheel at the start of the mission eventually activates a tile bridge. The tiles at the start of the bridge soon disappear, and a new section of tiles takes its place. The tiles eventually lead to a Blue Orb Fragment. There are two Mephisto that are intent on making things difficult for you, as they'll constantly poke and prod in an attempt to knock you off. There is a trick to complete this mission quickly as Nero; the Red Queen Calibur skill and the Enemy Hike and Air Hike abilities are needed to pull it off. Slash the wheel to trigger the tiles, run to the end of the first two tiles that appear and jump straight ahead, use Calibur, Enemy Hike off of the Mephisto there and then Air Hike onto the ledge where the fragment is. You may need to straighten out the camera so to see where you're jumping. page 66 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Devil May Cry 4 - Secret Mission 08 -- Royal Blocker When: Mission 07: The She-Viper (only Dante can complete this one, so wait until Mission 14: Forest of Ruin) Where: Forest Entrance Objective: Execute a royal block 5 times. This mission can be quite difficult, especially if you aren't familiar with the Royal Guard style. You're put into a room with a pair of Mephistos and must successfully perform Royal Block five times in a row. To use the Royal Block skill, have the Royal Guard style toggled, and press the Style Action button just before an enemy's attack hits. If you get hit by one of the Mephistos after a successful execution, the chain resets to zero. You can, however, kill one of the Mephistos to make things a bit easier. Clearing this mission is all about timing, but there seems to be a little bit of luck involved, too. If you're having a lot of trouble doing this, there is one thing you could try, but it comes with absolutely no guarantee of success. First, kill one of the two Mephistos, then hold the lock-on button and basically mash the Style Action button. Sure, Dante's going to look pretty silly while doing this, but it is surprisingly effective. The only attack you'll want to avoid while doing this is the Mephisto's tail swipe, as it very difficult to block. Other than that, there doesn't seem to be a surefire way to clear this one. Just practice, practice, practice and try, try again until you can pull it off. Once you've succeeded, collect the Blue Orb Fragment that appears to clear the mission. page 67 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Devil May Cry 4 - Secret Mission 09 -- Unbreakable When: Mission 15: Fortuna Castle Where: Library Objective: Eliminate all enemies without taking damage and without being captured by a Fault. You're up against two waves of Assaults and Chimera Seeds here, and you have to wipe them all out without taking any damage or being captured by a Fault. The biggest threat are the Chimera-infected Assaults, as the Chimera swing their tentacles every which way, making them difficult to avoid. Even a small nick spells failure, so you can't be too careful. With that said, this mission can be cleared quite easily with some patience and a bit of luck. With the shotgun out, hug the edge of the area and double-jump in one direction while firing at the enemies below. Do not use lock-on at all during this, just stick to the edge of the map, jump and Air Hike in one direction and continuously tap the Long-range attack button. As soon as you hit the ground, jump up into the air again and continue shooting. This way there is no need to worry about the Faults at all, because they'll only appear as soon as you hit the ground, and you'll be up in the air again before they can emerge completely. There might be a few close calls, and this could take a couple of tries, but it is likely the safest and easiest method to get this done. Once you've killed off the two waves of enemies, collect the Blue Orb Fragment that spawns to clear the mission. page 68 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Devil May Cry 4 - Secret Mission 10 -- Puppet Master When: Mission 05: Trisagion Where: Master's Bedroom Objective: Manipulate the Gyro Blades to raze everything. You have two minutes to smash the five towers in the hallway using a Gyro Blade. This is one of easier secret missions, but of course you will need to know exactly where each tower is if you hope to complete this task with time to spare. So spend one try scouring the hall and memorize their locations. To start, use Buster on the Gyro Blade to activate it, and then slash it until the blades on its sides are spinning. Punch the Gyro Blade at this point to send it sailing down the hall towards the first tower. Spam Streak to close the distance between yourself and the Gyro Blade a lot faster. An active Gyro Blade is prone to bounce, and this is especially an issue in this relatively narrow hallway. Hitting the Gyro Blade with Buster while it is not spinning only pushes it forward a short distance, so you can move it further down the hall without it bouncing back towards you. The clock is ticking, so only do this when you must knock the Gyro Blade into a specific area and are not simply moving it down a large stretch of hallway. Once you've managed to destroy the five towers, collect the Blue Orb Fragment to clear the mission. page 69 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Devil May Cry 4 - Secret Mission 11 -- Point of Impact When: Mission 16: Inferno Where: Fortuna Castle Gate The Lucifer weapon is needed to reach this one. After killing the first batch of Basilisks, start up the mountain ledges until you reach a set of stairs that lead up into the left corner of the screen. With Trickster toggled and Lucifer equipped, stand about midway up the stairs, jump to the right, use Air Hike, Sky Star, then attack with Lucifer and you should land on the secret ledge. Objective: Use Pandora to destroy distant objects. The PF124: Hatred and PF398: Revenge abilities are needed to complete this mission, so purchase those and make sure you know how to use them before attempting this. There are two statues to destroy at opposite ends of the area, and you only have thirty seconds to do so. The laser cannon is quite difficult to aim because, while you can adjust its aim vertically once you set it down, there is no way to adjust the darned thing horizontally. So, essentially, you have to throw it down just right or you won't be able to hit the statue. There are a couple of ways you can go about doing this; both methods require practice and maybe a bit of luck. 1: As soon as the mission begins, move south until you are down set of steps through the first doorway. Set up Hatred at the bottom of the steps, take aim and fire. If you hit the statue, turn around and move north until you are at the bottom of the stairs (spam Stinger to quickly descend). Set up Hatred, take aim and hit the statue to spawn the Blue Orb Fragment. You should have enough time to do this, provided you don't miss a shot. 2: This method requires quite a bit of luck, but given enough time you'll eventually pull it off. As soon as the mission starts, move north until you reach the end of the starting platform. Set up Hatred at the top of the stairs, aim down and release when the sight appears to line up with the statue. If you managed to break the statue and still have about twenty seconds left, turn around and either run (if you have the Speed skill) or spam Stinger to reach the statue at the south end of the map. Hit the final statue with Stinger to spawn the Blue Orb Fragment. Since you won't encounter any threats during this mission and will be teleported back to its location in Lamina Peak, in the event of failure, you can retry as many times as you wish. Keep trying and you'll clear it eventually. page 70 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Devil May Cry 4 - Secret Mission 12 -- Steeplechase When: Mission 17: Adagio For Strings Where: Opera House Plaza Objective: Reach the goal without taking damage. You must make it to the end of the laser-ridden corridor without losing any health. Unfortunately the time-slow machine cannot be used here, making this a decidedly difficult mission to complete under normal circumstances. With that said, there's a very simple way to clear this mission with Pandora. The destruction meter must be maxed out for this to work, though. Max out the meter by using Pandora on the enemies that spawn near the fountain in the Opera House Plaza area if you haven't triggered and defeated them yet. Activate the secret mission once the destruction meter is full. With the Gunslinger style selected and Pandora equipped, jump up into the air and press the Style Action button to use the PF594: Argument ability, which transforms Pandora into a mobile missile battery. Don't jump too high because if Pandora is scraping the ceiling that'll slow its movement, which may prevent you from crossing the entire laser bed in this fashion. You want Pandora to be hovering just above the lasers; jump and Air Hike over the lasers, then let Dante dip just a bit before transforming Pandora. If you're in good order, then it's smooth sailing from here. Pick up the Blue Orb Fragment at the other end of the corridor to clear the mission. page 71 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Devil May Cry 4 - Blue Orb Fragment Locations Collect four Blue Orb Fragments to create a Blue Orb, which will add a permanent bar to your total health. Note -- 12 of the 32 fragments are obtained by clearing Secret Missions. Mission 02: La Porte De L'Enfer Blue Orb Fragment 1 Where: Residential District Jump up onto the building behind the Red Orb cluster, hug the wall and hop into the small crevice above the lower roof. The Blue Orb Fragment is tucked away in this crevice. Blue Orb Fragment 2 Where: First Mining Area Attack the Combat Adjudicator and attain a combo grade of B to receive a bunch of Red Orbs and a Blue Orb Fragment. Mission 03: The White Wing Blue Orb Fragment 3 Where: Second Mining Area When you reach the tunnel entrance, hop onto the board to the left. From this platform, jump up onto the higher one. Here, use the closest Grim Grip to propel yourself towards the second. Grab hold of the second Grim Grip to swing towards the metal sheet and Kick Jump off of it. Immediately after using Kick Jump, grab hold of the Grim Grip above to reach a higher area with two more Grim Grips. This next part can be tricky; you have to hit these last two grips bang on to get to the Blue Orb Fragment platform. After using the middle grip, immediately latch on to the final one and you should land directly on the platform. You really need to hit the last grip as soon as you can, or you'll just miss the platform. Launch in external player Blue Orb Fragment 4 Where: Second Mining Area The Roulette Spin and Streak 2 skills and the Air Hike ability are needed to reach this fragment. All of those skills together are quite costly, so you may have to leave this one alone for now and come back to it later. If you think you might have collected enough souls to purchase those skills if you had them all back, you could get a refund from the Divinity Statue at the beginning of the level. To get a refund, select the 'Cancel All' option on the Skill Up menu. You can purchase the abilities needed to get the orb, then return to the statue and get your old skills back. The secret area that holds the Blue Orb Fragment is across from the tunnel entrance that is reached by using the first batch of Grim Grips in this room. To get to this area you'll need to use mid-air attacks to cross the gap. First, stand on the wooden platform and face south. Next, use Streak 2 to propel Nero forward, then use Roulette Spin and immediately after that, use Air Hike. Hopefully you are above the platform, or at least close to it; use Roulette Spin again if necessary. This is a tough one to get and might require a few tries, but if you're using the right skills, you'll get it eventually. Launch in external player page 72 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Blue Orb Fragment 5 Where: Grand Hall (2F) There is a large mirror along the eastern wall, just beyond the door. Hit the mirror until it shatters, revealing the Blue Orb Fragment in a small alcove. Mission 06: Resurrection Blue Orb Fragment 6 Where: Underground Laboratory You likely spotted this one during the opening cutscene. Grab the fragment on your way down and then drop down. Blue Orb Fragment 7 Where: Forris Falls At the top of the stairs, notice the fragment hovering in mid-air. You'll need Streak to grab this one. Stand at the end of the platform directly in front of the hovering orb and use Streak to launch Nero into it. Streak 2 might be necessary to make it out far enough, but you can just use Snatch to grab it in mid-air if that's the case. Mission 07: The She-Viper Blue Orb Fragment 8 Where: Ruined Valley This fragment is at the south end of the valley, so you'll have to grab in it the process of using the tiles to cross the valley. Wait until there are some tiles beneath it, then jump up into the air and take it into your inventory. Blue Orb Fragment 9 Where: Forgotten Ruins Attack the Combat Adjudicator and attain a style rank of A to receive some Red Orbs and a Blue Orb Fragment. Mission 08: Profession Of Faith Blue Orb Fragment 10 Where: Ancient Training Ground The pod hanging from the ceiling of the tunnel in the middle of the Ancient Training Ground holds the fragment. Stand below it, jump up into the air and use a normal attack to break it open and claim the fragment. Blue Orb Fragment 11 Where: Lost Woods/Hidden Pit To get this fragment, you'll have give the Hidden Pit a visit. After killing the enemies in the area, stand in front of the seal and spin the camera around to look north. You should be able to spot a Blue Orb Fragment in the trees; stand underneath the fragment and use Air Hike to take it into your inventory. Mission 09: For You Blue Orb Fragment 12 Where: Grand Hall Attain an S grade on the Combat Adjudicator in the northeast corner of the Grand Hall to receive a large amount of Red Orbs and the fragment. Blue Orb Fragment 13 Where: The Gauntlet While in the elevator at the third level, turn away from the laser room and drop down from the open doorway to reach an area below. A Blue Orb Fragment can be found here. You'll have to jump to get it, and doing so sets you page 73 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. back to the first level. Activate the wheel again to call the elevator and make your way back up to the third level. Mission 10: Wrapped In Glory Blue Orb Fragment 14 Where: Experiment Disposal The Roulette Spin and Air Hike skills are needed to get to this one. Before (!) taking the elevator up to the Meeting Room, stand about halfway between the wall and the elevator. Next, normal jump and use Roulette Spin, then immediately Air Hike to reach the elevator's lowest frame. From here, normal jump inwards and, while in mid-air, turn around, use Air Hike and try to land on the frame above. The fragment is up here; use Air Hike to grab it. Mission 11: The Ninth Circle Blue Orb Fragment 15 Where: Advent Chamber There's a Combat Adjudicator at the south end of this area. Attack the Combat Adjudicator and attain a combo grade of SSS to receive a bunch of Red Orbs and a Blue Orb Fragment. You'll have to use a large variety of moves to earn the grade. Mission 12: A New Beginning Blue Orb Fragment 16 Where: The Gauntlet Hit the time-slow machine Key Chamber, ignore the Gladius creatures, and slip through the lasers at the far end of the room to reach the Gauntlet. Search for the Combat Adjudicator here and attain a style grade of B by attacking it to receive some Red Orbs and the fragment. Now quickly make your way back to the Grand Hall! Mission 13: The Devil Returns Blue Orb Fragment 17 Where: Ruined Church Attain a style grade of A on the Combat Adjudicator in the church's western room to receive the fragment and a large amount of Red Orbs. Mission 15: Fortuna Castle Blue Orb Fragment 18 Where: Forris Falls At the start of the mission, head up the stairs on the right to find a Combat Adjudicator. Attain a style grade of SS to receive the fragment and some Red Orbs. Mission 16: Inferno Blue Orb Fragment 19 Where: Underground Laboratory There's a Combat Adjudicator at the start of the mission. A style grade of S is needed to acquire the fragment, but you have to be quick about it, as the poisonous gas will be zapping your health all the while. Once you've managed an S grade, pick up the Green Orbs to the right of the statue to refill your health bar. Mission 17: Adagio For Strings Blue Orb Fragment 20 Where: Business District page 74 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Once the district is clear of demons, locate the Restaurant-Café on the west side of the street; about midway down. Air Hike or use Kick Jump to get up onto the awning. Kick Jump up the wall and use Sky Star (Trickster) as soon as Dante reaches the top of the railing. page 75 / 81 SuperCheats.com Unoffical Devil May Cry 4 Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/devil-may-cry-4 Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide.
