Part I: Introduction
====================
Lady:     You've heard of it, haven't you? The legend of Sparda?
When I was young, my father would tell me stories about it.
Long ago, in ancient times, a demon rebelled against his own
kind for the sake of the human race.
With his sword, he shut the portal to the demonic realm and
sealed the evil entity off from our human world.
But since he was a demon himself, his power was also trapped
on the other side.
I never believed it. I thought it was just a child's fairy
tale.
I discover that the so-called legend wasn't a myth at all.
Sparda existed.
How do I know? Well...
I met the sons of Sparda - Both of them.
Though the same blood of their father flow through their veins,
the two battled each other fiercely like arch enemies.
It seems as if they drive some twisted pleasure from this
brotherly fighting.
But in the end... only one was left standing.
The only reason you should be reading it is you've played the game for
awhile, and somehow got stuck, or couldn't a blue orb, or whatever.
Well, since you already own the game, there's really no need for me to
introduce it to you now, is there?
Just so you don't know, this document contains spoilers.
Play through the game at least once before reading it.

Part II: Lists
============
Devil Arms
----------
There are five melee weapons, or Devil Arms, in the game. Dante can
only carry two of these with him in a mission. It can be changed
during the mission via the Time Statue.
Rebellion
You start off with this sword. DMC2 players should be familiar with it.
There are several skills to purchase:
Stinger Lvl 1 & 2
Drive
Air Hike
Stinger and Air Hike are the must buy if you plan to use this sword.
(You'll buy everything eventually, but those should come first)
Drive is pretty worthless. I have used it maybe twice in Normal, and
never in any other difficulty.
Cerberus
It's gotten after you've beaten the Mission 3 Boss, Cerberus.
An ice-enchanted weapon, it has some effect to certain bosses.
There are two skills to purchase:
Revolver Lvl 2 & 3
Windmill
Revolver is a midair spinning attack. It is also effective in repelling
melee attacks. Windmill is more of a defensive skill, and does not have
much practical use beside building combo.
(Useful against Agni and Rudra)
Agni and Rudra
Obtained after Mission 5. It's the
There are three skills to purchase:
Jet Stream Lvl 2 & 3
Air Hike
WhirlWind
They are all useful, but personally I go with Jet Steam Lvl 2
and WhirlWind first. Since you have Air Hike with Rebellion, and you
can switch weapons any time (given that you've equipped it).
Whirlwind is similar to High Time from Rebellion, hitting an enemy
airborn and can be followed by air-combo.
Nevan
Obtained after Mission 9.
This Electric Guitar goes well with the rocking theme in this game.
There are four skills to purchase:
Reverb Shock
Bat Rift: Level 2
Air Raid
Volume Up
Air Raid should be bought last, because you won't be using Devil Mode
very often. Reverb Shock, Bat Rift, and Volume Up are all good skills
to use. Get at least one in Reverb Shock first, and do whatever after.
Beowulf
Obtained after defeating Vergil the second time. (Mission 13)
The skills are as follow:
Straigth Lvl 2
Rising Dragon (That's a lesser skill before this one)
Air Hike
Straight is very much like stinger... in fact, without Swordmaster,
Beowulf is very much like Rebellion except it is more powerful with a
shorter reach. Rising Dragon is similar to High Time.
========
Firearms
--------
There are five firearms to choose from. Dante can carry two firearms,
and can change the equipment inbetween mission and in front of the
Time Statue.
Ebony & Ivory
Dante starts with this personalized firearm.
The dual pistols are always a favourite, mostly due to it extending
Dante's air time. (Keep firing to keep himself in midair)
Shotgun
Obatined on shelf in Mission 3.
Useful in close range, but loses its charm when it comes to ranged
combat. There's a few useful tricks with it using Gunslinger.
Artemis
Obatined in Mission 6 after completing the 3 trials.
Powerful, but... not to useful because it often misses.
Quite useless without gunslinger... wait, opinions later.
Spiral
Obtained in Mission 9.
It's a sniper rifle sort of thing, can be fired on ground only.
Powerful, but it has a long recovery time.
Kalina Ann
Obtained after the Boss fight in Mission 16.
Kalina Ann is named after Lady's mother. Probably the most useful
firearm in the entire game, being a big fan of grenade myself back
in Devil May Cry 1.
Can be fired on ground only, and has a short range. The explosion
will damage the enemies as well and often break their guards.
======
Styles
------
Before you initiate a mission, you can customize your style. You can
only change your style during the mission by using the Time Statue.
Dante starts with 4 styles, and gains Quicksilver after fighting
Greyon in Mission 12, and gains Doppelganger after fighting him in
Mission 16.
There are three levels for the first styles, and the styles will
level up by gaining a certain amount of experience.
Level 1 =   0   - 29999 Experience
Level 2 = 30000 - 99998 Experience
Level 3 = 99999 - 99999 Experience
New skills will be available at each new level.

Combo
-----
Well, knowing the basic control doesn't mean you can start
kicking ass. This game focuses so much on the Stylish Crazy
action, and that means you will need to know every single
combos and crazy combos in order to keep yourself on the SSS
stylish ranking.
I think the easiest way to organize this is to put it
according to weapons, since the combos are so different.
But before that, I'll list the special moves for Trickster,
Royal Guard, Quicksilver and Doppelganger.

Gunslinger

points, but repeatedly using the same gun moves will cease it.

Grapple:        R1+Forward+O
I was quite disappointed at gunslinger, actually.
Trickshot and Gunstinger are cool, but the others are just...
lacking on the ass kicking side.
The thing about building high ranking on style is, use a variety
of combos and attacks. Mix your moves, and switch firearms and
weapons. Don't get hit though, or else you'll have to build it
up all over. Taunting is also a great way to build up style rank.
Dante uses different way to taunt enemies at different ranking,
so it's worth seeing at least.
--------------------------
Part III: Game Walkthrough
==========================
You've probably just skipped through all those since you knew
it all. Well, I'll try to cover Dante Must Die mode in this
walkthrough, because that's when life gets rough.
-----------================
===========   -------------
Mission One - A Crazy Party
-----------   =============
==============-------------
Mission one is easy. Enemies will spawn, and you will start
kicking ass until they are all wiped out. Normally there are
Prides and Lusts, but in DMD modes, several Wraths will join
in for some fun as well. Don't get caught by the bombs, then
it should be fine.
-----------=================
===========   --------------
Mission Two - The Blood Link
-----------   ==============
==============--------------
You're outside of the office now, but you'll be doing the
same job: defeat everything you see. For those who are new to
DMC, this mission might pose a problem because you have to
defeat every single demon and the boss, and if you die, you'd
have to start from the beginning.
There are some Prides, Lusts, and Wraths in this mission,
and three in DMD mode. Sloths will also appear in DMD mode to
give you a more thrilling experience. Do not get caught in the
Wrath's explosion because it will hurt.
You'll face Hell Vanguard after you've defeated all the minions.
It's not a tough fight, just be prepared to dodge when you hear
the toll.
For more details, see the Boss section.
-------------=====================
=============   ------------------
Mission Three - The Debils's Tower
-------------   ==================
================------------------
There are some Enigmas here, and they stand on some high places
as though they are welcoming you. But instead of sending you
their greetings, they shoot you some arrows so you know they do
mean business. Since they're asking for it... you know what to
do. There will be Wrath and some explosives in this place, just
be careful and avoid the explosions, you should be fine.
Proceed through the door to Bullseye bar after you're done.
You'll see a shotgun in one of the display shelves, but it is
sealed by some blue fogs (I'll just call it blue seal). Smash
all those machines at the corner and a device will be revealed.
Hit that thing repeatedly, and it'll lit up and bring the seal.
Grab the shotgun and proceed.
You come to this place with a pole in the middle, and there's
a door with a trail of blood. When you go near the door, a red seal
will appear. This always happens throughout the game, and you'd
know it is showtime.
Sloths, Lusts and Prides will occupy this place. Defeating them
should be pretty easy. The seal will be broken after all the
enemies are defeated. Go through the door.
There are some stuff here. A blue orb fragment, a Statue for
Rebellion, the first secret mission entrance, and the Time Statue.
You can easily see the blue orb fragment, so just grab that. The
door on the right will trigger the secret mission.
The Statue is on the left, so just jump and work your way there.
Use your Rebellion and make a C combo on it (Or was it B? I don't
remember; it breaks and I wasn't even trying) and you'll get a
blue orb fragment.
Then there's the Time Statue which allows you to change style
and purchase skill/item. You might want to buy some skills for
your Rebellion or upgrade the E&I, because you can. (I'd upgrade
the E&I after purchasing Stinger)
Then you will find the Cerberus, the first real boss in the game.
(See boss fight for details)
------------====================
============   -----------------
Mission Four - The Uninvited One
------------   =================
===============-----------------
You're now inside the tower. Take either side of the circular stairs,
and work your way up until you see a blue door. Enter it.
Some Lusts and Prides will be waiting here. Get through them or get
rid of them. In DMD, Abyss will fill this place instead. That gives
you have a great opportunity to test your skills. (Or your skills to
avoid fight if you choose that)
Going through the door, and you'll be greeted by a number of Enigmas.
Enigmas are DEADLY when they're in DMD, especially after berserk.
They can easily soak up and ignore your attack, and shoot red arrows
at you out of spite. The worst thing is you won't be able to see half
of them because they're so far away. Get close to them and take them
out one by one as soon as possible.
After you've defeated all enemies, go through the door which is
previously sealed. You'll see a device on the wall, and there are
statues scattered all over the place. Destroy the statues on the
middle platform and then turn on the device by hitting it. The middle
platform will start rising, jump onto it. (If you didn't destroy
enough statue on the platform, it will fall down due to overweight)
Defeat everything you see, and grab the blue orb fragment sitting
near the top. Go through the door.
Go up the circular stairs and find the yellow door, enter it. You'll
see some stairs, a sealed door, and a seemingly bottomless pitch.
Walk up the stairs and it will fall apart, and you'll fall along with
it. This will lead you to the Chamber of Sin.
A variety of demons will appear. Prides, Lusts, Sloths, Gluttonys,
Wraths... you name it. Defeat all of them and a column of light will
shine upon you... or rather, at the middle of the room. Go under it
and it will teleport you back up. In DMD, your hosts here are Abyss,
and Soul Eaters. Yeah, you'll need to defeat them all.
You can now go through the door which was previously sealed.
Then you will see something coming out of a hole. This boss is weak,
and the first time I came here, I killed it without knowing that it
is a boss. Well, to be more accurate, he's only a mini-boss.
Defeat him and go through the door at the end.
(See Boss section for more details.)
Then examines and grab a key item, Astronomical Board.
------------=======================
============   --------------------
Mission Five - Of Devils and Swords
------------   ====================
===============--------------------
Blood Goyles will appear, and you'll have to defeat them all in order
to break the red seal. Modern weapons are your best friends... since
melee attacks will only make them multiple. Shoot them until they
turn into stone, and then finish them off. They do quite a bit of
damage, seriously. In DMD, it's 4 bars per hit, and you don't want
that. But they are a bitch to kill in DMD after they've gone berserk..
It is best to use Kalina Ann and blast all of them, and keeping them
in stone form and finishing them one by one.
Go through the red door once you're done. You want to go back to the
stairs, so take the yellow door. Now go up to the left and place the
key item on to the tablet thingy. One thing will be activated, and
you can jump down and grab it. (You can use the jump pad on the ground
floor now)
After you've gotten the Vajura, go back to the place where you fought
the Enigmas. This time, instead of taking the door, go to the opposite
direction where there is a cage. Far in front of the cage is a device,
use the Vajura on it and the cage will be lifted. Grab the Soul of
Steel inside, and get ready to fight and break the red seal.
After you're done fighting, go back to the place where there is a
bottomless pitch. The easiest way to get there is through via the jump
pod on ground level, then through the yellow door. Now you can walk
on air, sort of. Place the Soul on the wall and a door will be revealed.
On the side, there is a Statue which holds a blue orb fragment inside.
Unleash your best set of combos (Or crappy, because this Statue is easy)
with Cerberus to smash the Statue, and grab the fragment. Now you can
go through the door.
You'll see a platform, a device, and a red door. The red door triggers
the second secret mission, and the device will operate the platform.
Get the device working and get on to the ride. Take the enemies out
because you don't want too much weight on the elevator, plus it is rude
of them to just appear and attack it. Blow them off the elevator.
(Shotgun and Stinger are both nice to use, just make sure you don't get
yourself off the platform) The elevator cannot hold more than 6 people
including yourself. Keep them away and you'll reach the top.
Go outside, and go to the right and you'll see a door and Time Statue.
Boss fight awaits, upgrade if you wish.
Once you're inside, you'll face the demon twins.
Knock their weapons off and land deadly combos on them, keep doing that
and they'll be dead in no time.
(See Boss sections for details)
Go through the gate after they have both fallen.

Mission Six - Family Ties
-----------   ===========
==============-----------
Go through the first door you see here. Don't worry, you will be coming
back. You'll come to the Chamber of 3 Trials. The one on the left tests
your wisdom, middle one tests your skills, and the one on the right
tests your strength. They can be done in any order, and by finishing
two of them, a new path will open; by doing all three, you will obtain
Artemis, a new firearm.
Wisedom
The old puzzle about infant, man, and old man with cane. The answer is
4-2-3, so just go to the door with the respective number of lights.
If you choose the wrong bought, the way will be sealed and you'll need
to fight yourself out.
You'll get the Essence of Intelligence if you've done it correctly.
Now you can exit through any door and go back to the previous area.
Skill
Go to the end of the hallway and grab the Essence of Technique. It is
very simple, and you can avoid all the traps by jumping and simply
walking. (No rolling or dash required) (This trial is more difficult
in DMD, ie. the spikes always come in Left + Bottom instead of just
Left or Bottom, plus it deals more damage.)
If you get hit by the spikes, no big deal, just work your way through
and you can still get the item. After you've grabbed it, you can go
back out and take on the remaining trial.
Strength
Walk to the middle... and now it's showtime. Enemies will spawn, and
you are going to defeat all of them. Sounds pretty easy, but these
enemies are all in their berserk state. To get rid of that, you can
turn both devices on in this area, and they will return to their
normal state for awhile. Prides, Lusts, Sloth, Wrath, and Hell Vanguard
will be your companies here. (In DMD, don't bother with the device
since you should be used to fighting berserk demons)
After that, you will see the Essence of Fighting. Take that and go
back to where you begin this state.
Now, put all the Essence on that Statue thing. After you've put two in,
the Artemis will fire and clear a path for you. The third Essence will
grant you the Artemis. Now go through the path it clears for you.
You'll see a Statue here, and you can use Agni & Rudra to perform
some lousy combos on it and get a Blue orb fragment. Go onward, and
the mission will end with a cutscene.
-------------===================
=============   ----------------
Mission Seven - A Chance Meeting
-------------   ================
================----------------
First thing, you can trigger a Secret mission if you go back to the
door (The far one) and jump up into the hole. Examine that thing
inside will trigger the third secret mission.
After that, (Or if you want to skip it) go through the door you first
saw. Jump down to the ground floor and enter. There are some Pawns
(Damned Pawns, and Damned Knights in DMD) here, but you can ignore them.
Look around for an item, it's between the Pawns in the room. Grab it
and your business is finished here. You can kill all of them, or
you can go back to the jump pods.
Take the jump pods and help yourself to reach the top level. Enter that
door. You don't need to kill any of them, so just move on. You'll see
two stone pillars in front of a door, and there are something missing
from the one on the right.
Take the split path and go through that door instead. Move into the room
and you'll see a Statue of a female... then boom, enemies appears, and
red seal. That's showtime for you. There are Greed, Lust, Pride, and
Sloths in this area. Defeat them all and the Statue will drop a tear for
you. Take it. (Key item: Siren's Shrek)
Go through the big door. You'll see a Statue, and you should use your
Rebellion to unleash the best combos on it. (It will need a SSS... or was
it SS? It is not that difficult, now that you should be familiar with
your Rebellion. Use SwordMaster style can make things easier.)
Go to the middle and use the Orihalicon on that structure. Power for the
elevator will be restored, and now you can use the elevator on the bottom
right. Do so..
Remember a door covered with flames? Use the newly acquired Siren's Shrek
to put out those fire and go throught the door.
There's a Gold Orb in this area, on the right side. After you've grabbed
that, go back up and kill some demons, and go through the door. You'll
see a wall. Attack it and it will break. Then you'll see a device.
Activate the device by attacking it, and a chained steel ball will drop..
Attack and break the ball before it rises up. The easiest way to do it is
to corner the ball and unleash combos. An item will drop if you destroy
the ball. Take it. (A Crystal Skull for the Stone Pillar)
And demons will appear. Defeat them and you're free to leave.
Now, go back, take the evelator and slowly work your way back to the room
with the female Statue. You will be ambushed by demons here. Defeat all
of them, and a Hell Vanguard will appear. Defeat him and you can go on.
Take the door.
Now, go to the door with the pillars. Put the Crystal Skull on the pillar
on the right, and the go through the door. Keep going until you see
another door. Go through that one, and you will fine that red seal has
formed behide you. you can only go up now, and this is a familiar scene...
Vergil awaits you at the top.
Vergil is not difficult if you know his pattern.
(See Boss section for details)
Defeat him and enjoy the cutscene, and the mission will end.
-------------=================
=============   --------------
Mission Eight - A Renewed Fear
-------------   ==============
================--------------
If this is your first time playing, then this is when you can finally
trigger Devil Mode. (I call it DT for Devil Trigger)
Anyway, you are in Leviathan's Stomach right now.
You need to remove all the tusks in order to explore further into his
body. You can remove the tucks by destroying the strange orb-looking
organs. There are five of them in total.
There is one to the rightmost from where you start off. Walk around and
you will see another on the screen. Do that one, too. From here, try to
jump onto the ship you see around here. In the ship there is a blue orb
fragment. After that, jump down to where the acid are. Try to avoid
stepping on it because it drains your health. When you see a bus, jump
over it and destroy the organ you see. Keep going on and the path will be
blocked by some stuff, destroy them and you can go in and trigger Secret
Mission 4.
You can go out now, and look for a narrow cave around here with a stream
of acid. There is an organ around that area. Now go up, and go up again,
you should be on a bridge. You should be seeing the last organ if you walk
around. Do that one, and go back onto the bus, and enter the hole.
Now you're in the intestines. Keep going until you see a path covered by
red substance. Smash it open and go through it. You'll see the Heart of
Leviathan. You can't do anything with them now, so just proceed through.
Down the path you will be chased by a Gigapede, but all it can do to you
is bite you as it gets close enough. Keep running and it will be stuck,
and you can get to another location in the intestines.
There will be some Envys in the room. It's up to you to kill them or to
get pass them. You'll reach a room with altar thing absorbing orbs from
the fallen demons. Your goal is to kill demons, and after the thing has
absorbed enough, a key item will materialize and a path will open.
From here, just run through to the other side. And in that intestine
area, a Gigapede will chase after you again. Use the same tactic if you
want to avoid the fight. After you've smashed the red membrane open,
you'll be in the stomach again.
Jump right down and find that same bus. Jump onto it and enter that hole
again. Envys spawn here, so you might want to kill them. You are now in
the intestine area again. It's dark and there are acid on the ground. One
trick is to light your way by firing E&I. Head to the end of the way.
You'll see the Heart and Organs of Leviathan. Place the key item on the
middle and initiate the boss battle.
Heart of Leviathan only has two types of attacks, and the way to defeat
it is to first destroy either organ. The middle organ will reveal its
core, and that is the time you deal some real damage. The only thing to
be careful of is the Envys.
(See Boss section for details)
------------=================
============   --------------
Mission Nine - Faded Memories
------------   ==============
===============--------------
Run across the bridge. You will visit this area later.
Some Arachnes, spider-like demons, will welcome you. Defeat all of them
and proceed. If you get hit by the web, you can either rotate R3 and
press buttons, or simply DT to free yourself.
Go through the far door. At the far end, you'll see a mirror and light
beam puzzle. Your goal is to reflect the light to another statue. If you
mess up, attack the device on the wall and the mirror will reset.
This one is simple (all puzzles are simple in the game), smash the one
in front of the target statue, and the mirror to its upper left.
The seal will break on the door, and you can go through it now.
There will be Enigmas (and Enigmas are troublesome in DMD). You need to
walk all the way to get to the other side, and it is better to kill them
all because they can shoot from far away. After that, go through the large
door.
There are bladed pillars here, and two Enigmas in the room. Avoid touching
the pillars and go forward. Take them out if you want, and enter the next
area.
You'll see water and statues here. You'll need a key item for the Mask
Statue, so leave that one for now. And there's a Nevan combat adjudicator.
A hint that you'll get new weapon soon. Speaking of new weapon, there is
a new firearm for grab in this area. See the Red Orb sitting on top of the
stone pillar? Reach there and jump onto the platform above it. Spiral is
sitting right in the middle of the platform.
Now you can go through the door beside the Time Statue. A room with bladed
pillars again... Make your way through to a room filled with webs. There's
a key item at the far end of this room, grab that. The door will be sealed,
and some Arachnes will appear. After you have done that, go back to the
area with the waterfall. (Nevan Combat Adjudicator)
Go into the waterfall. If you look carefully, there is a small passage on
the top right, and that leads to a Secret Mission if you examine some
red crystals. To the left there is an area with a devil star, so you might
want to get that. Jump back from there and work your through to the end of
cave. You'll see a female carving. Use the key item you've earlier acquired
by examining it. A door will be revealed, go through it.
Move forward into the room and there will be pre-boss cut scene.
Nevan is a tiring boss. She can't be damage when there are bats around her,
and you should get rid of the bats first. The best time to go into melee
with her is when she stands and laughs.
(See Boss Section for details)
After her defeat, you'll obtain Nevan. Rock on through the green door.
-----------==========
===========   -------
Mission Ten - The Job
-----------   =======
==============-------
Take the Stone Mask, and work your way back to the waterfall area, then
place the Stone Mask on the Mask Statue on the wall. (It has light on it)
A bridge will rise up and you should certainly cross it, and jump by the
large statue. An item sits there, so take it. It's the Neo Generator which
you will need to take back Mission Nine starting location (Rotating Bridge).
Go through the right door to the hallway with bladed pillars. Deep into the
hallway, you will be locked up and enemies will appear. These Dullahans are
invulnerable from the front, and guns do nothing to them. The only way to
defeat them is to attack from the back with devil arms. Kill the three of
them and you can move on.
It is straight forward from here. Back to the room with spiders, and you'll
fight some demons, and then you will reach the rotating bridge. Cross the
bridge, and there will be a cutscene where the bridge rotates. Then cross
the bridge again and go through the yellow door. Head to the door, and a
cut scene will end this mission.
--------------==========
==============   -------
Mission Eleven - Revenge
--------------   =======
=================-------
You'll see Enigmas in the area. Slaughter them and go down to the ground
floor and go through the yellow door.
You'll be in a long passage, and there are some Soul Eaters in this area.
You can defeat them easily with E&I or whatever weapons you prefer. After
that, you can move on to the next area.
You are now in a pretty big room. On the left side of the room, there is a
sword being stuck on a statue. Jump onto that sword and go up to the balcony.
You'll see a block on the floor, and there is a hole to the close end of this
block. Smash the block with your melee attack, and lead it into the hole.
Then travel to the other end of the balcony. You'll see a cracked wall, and
cracked wall needs beating. Slash the wall, and a block will be revealed.
Smash this one to its respective hole, then a passage is revealed. Except it
is red-sealed, meaning it's showtime.
The annoying thing here is the Soul Eater, especially in DMD mode since
Soul Eaters actually do lots of damage. Kill all those buggers before you do
Hell Vanguard.
Go through the revealed passage after you've kicked their asses.
There is a Agni & Rudra combat adjudicator in this area, show it what you've
got and take the fragment inside. Jump onto the wagon afterward.
Demons will spawn, and some will stay on the other wagon. The only thing you
need to watch out for is Wrath. (I don't remember if they spawn in normal,
but they sure do in DMD) The wagon will stop once you've killed the demons.
You see stairs in front of you. Go up and visit the Time Statue if you want.
Boss fight awaits. In the room, go for the items and a boss will show up
without using the door.
You fight Beowulf, and he is not hard to defeat once you
get the hang of it. Stay close and dodge the attack. The cage dropped from
the ceiling CAN be destroyed by your melee attack. (I haven't tried destroying
them when they are FLYING, though)
(See Boss section for details)
--------------====================
==============   -----------------
Mission Twelve - Hunter and Hunted
--------------   =================
=================-----------------
You will be in Devil Mode for most of the mission, and your health will start
to go down slowly. You will die if your health is depleted. (Some would think
it stops once it reaches 1, but no.) Seemingly you cannot use QuickSilver in
this stage... and for those who have unlocked SuperDante, using Super Dante
doesn't give you any edge over this one.
Anyway, ALWAYS rush for the door unless it is sealed.
Go back to the wagon and start testing your power. There are more green orbs
than usual, which makes it pretty easy to get through. (Even in DMD this is
easy. The power of DT is quite something.) Go through the door.
This room needs some clearing. Do so, and proceed. You should rush through
the next one, as well as the next one where the gears are.
Now you are passage where Arkham's body used to be in. Demons will spawn and
you have to kill every single one of them. In normal, this is easy to do
because Devil Mode is overwhelming. In DMD, you have to be careful and be FAST
on killing those prides and lusts, and pray that they drop green orbs. They do
go berserk, which gives you a hard time killing them.
Hell Vanguard is as tough as usual in DMD, and you'll have to be on your guard
and not get sliced in half. Find yourself a place where the camera angle favors
you. After the red seal is removed, navigate through the door.
You will reach the bridge, and a scene will be triggered. Afterward, you're no
longer cool (back to normal). Run across that bridge. Go through the door.
You now see a Time Statue and a corridor, and right away you can tell this is
going to be bad. Boss fight awaits you, upgrade if you want. Sprint down the
corridor.
You'll see another bridge... and then a cutscene. Greyon will welcome you.
There are two parts in the fight... the first part will end after you have
lowered Greyon health by around 1/8. The second fight can be very easy or not
too difficult depending on how you fight it. You can jump on the cart, and
that is THE way to fight Greyon. Otherwise, stay on foot and shoot... and go
melee as he stops.
(See Boss section for details)
You gains a newstyle QuickSilver upon defeating him, and ends the mission by
going through the door.
----------------=====================
================   ------------------
Mission Thirteen - Chaos Warm Welcome
----------------   ==================
===================------------------
This is a rather short mission. There are varies Damned demons in the area,
smash them into pieces and proceed. You'll then see a corridor, sprint down.
There is one red light down there, examine it to trigger a secret mission.
Go to the ground floor and go through the door.
You  will see a door right at you, and a passage to the left.
Take the passage and use the door at the end. Ignore those Chessmen and go
play in the Vestibule.
You will see a puzzle. An easy one, but the first thing to do is to walk up
and smash open the cracked wall. You'll see more mirrors within that wall,
and you find that the goal is to direct the beam to the now revealed statue.
Smash the mirror in the wall (the one that points at the side).
Outside the wall, smash the one right next to the cracked wall, and the one
to its diagonal left. (Left and down)
After you're down, you should found a key item within the hidden passage
pass the statue. Head out, and use a different path. You'll see a Time
Statue and a Nevan Combat Adjudicator. And you know what to do with Combat
Adjudicator. After that, enter the big door using the key item, and fight
Vergil, who has gained the power of Beowulf.
The main different here is Vergil can go into Devil mode, and that's the
thing to watch out for. Try to avoid fighting him when he's in this mode.
Otherwise, the battle is simple. Study his pattern and dodge the attack the
same way as before. (He has different attacks, but rolling will do the trick)
(See Boss section for details)
He will be defeated, and let's welcome chaos.
----------------========
================   -----
Mission Fourteen - Drive
----------------   =====
===================-----
Search around the area for the Beowulf, as well as the Beowulf Combat
Adjudicator. Anyway, exit using the door behide the Combat Adjudicator.
Take the elevator which will lead you to the lake, and exit through the
opposing door (a hole... rather). Take the door in there. You're in the
Vestibule again, jump near the flames and find a hole, which triggers a
secret mission.
Remember the hidden passage? A doorway is opened around there, go through
it. You are now in the room with that sword stuck on a statue, and you
cannot proceed until you've defeated all enemies. An easy fight normally
because you'll face puny Blood Goyles. For DMD, you will fight...
The Fallen. Three of them (or four?) It takes FOREVER to defeat them,
because they will go berserk. Only two will show up at one time, and one
will berserk if you've defeated another. Once you have taken one of them,
ignore the berserk one and destroy the new comer first. Take the berserk
one out last.
After the fight, go through the door opposing the stuck sword.
Take the wagon, and have some fun fighting. When you're done  with the
wagon, run up the platform and use the door. You'll find gates after
gates inside. And within the gates, Damned demons will materialize. Pawn,
Bishop, Knight, you name it. Travel around all the gates and defeat all
of them, your goal is to get through, as well as getting a blue orb
fragment. Go through the brown door when you're done.
You'll see a door near the Time Statue. Use it. You'll see Engimas, kill
them or not, go forward and you'll see light in the area. Touch the light
and it will teleport you.
You're in the indoor place with a pole. Follow the blood trail to the door
and go through it like last time. Once you're outside, go forward, and
a cutscene will occur soon. The mission also ends here.
---------------==================
===============   ---------------
Mission Fifteen - The Gatecrasher
---------------   ===============
==================---------------
Go to the door, and it will be sealed. The Fallens will appear, and it
will be a tough fight in DMD. Attack them with melee attack until they
break guard (the wings no longer cover their chests), and attack with
whatever weapons you have. In DMD, it actually takes about 4 Holy Water
to defeat them. Not saying you should use items, but that is just a
physical measurement of their toughness.
Go through the door after you've killed them.
Then there's more fighting. Arachnes will be your company this time.
