INTRO:
----------------------
Welcome to my first FAQ! Playing DMC 3, I noticed the lack of detail in the
synopses for the Secret missions, so here I am to give you the skinny!
Normally people would have a good 2-3 pages of mumbo-jumbo, so let me
make this brief:
*You can use this FAQ for personal use
*this will ONLY be on www.gamefaqs.com, and now www.neoseeker.com. Anywhere
else, and we'll have problems
*any comments/suggestions, or submissions for info can be sent to my e-mail, I
have no time for stuff already in this FAQ, so don’t tell me what I already
know, so save that, and any other discussions not pertaining to DMC 3, or any
pics of your hot girlfriend, sister, mom, etc...
Well you can send those :)
So let’s get this started!
First off, if you’re looking for any form of tutorial about equipment, items,
etc, find another FAQ. But let me just list the weapons and any abbreviations
of them (in parentheses), for the heck of it. Now is the time to let you know,
that If you're reading this you should know what those are by now... and let me
take this opportunity to let you know, there are many SPOILERS in this FAQ.
Other than that any (sp?) you see would greatly be appreciated if corrected.
Spoilers begin NOW!!!!!!!!
----------------------
EQUIPMENT
----------------------
Guns:
Ebony and Ivory (E&I) - Dante's twin handguns, you have these from the start.
Shotgun - A double barreled shotgun, found in Mission 3

end of Mission 16
Devil Arms:

Agni and Rudra (A&R) - Twin swords, utilizing the power of Wind and Fire
Nevan - A Guitar/scythe, utilizing the power of Electricity, and Bats (I guess)
Beowulf - Arm and leg gauntlets, utilizing the power of Light
----------------------
The Secret missions:
----------------------
As you can see I made it pretty simple, what to expect after the blue flash,
and where to find it.
----------------------
Secret Mission 1: The Exorcist
Objective: Defeat all enemies within the time limit. (1 min)
Enemies: Hell Pride (5), Hell Lust (4), and Hell Sloth (2)
Location: Mission 3, 15th Avenue, right after the dumpster on your right,you
enter through a pair of brown double doors, right beneath some red orbs
Location of Mission: Love Planet (Where you first fight the Hell Sloths)
How I Beat It:
Weapons/Style: E&I and Rebellion, Swordmaster Style
Hack at the Hell prides, until they disappear one by one, but try to get rid of
the Lusts ASAP, since they normally hop off-screen before attacking. Be sure to
be very attentive to such sneak attacks from the Lusts and the Sloths, Rinse
and Repeat until it's over!
SECOND TIME: DT the last 30 seconds if you can, A&R work well here, but it's
better to stick with Rebellion
----------------------
Secret Mission 2: Untouchable
Objective: Defeat all enemies while taking no damage
Enemies: Enigma (5)
Location: Mission 5, Surge of Fortunas, The red-eyed skull sculpture on the
wall, next to the seal for the elevator.
Location of Mission: Ice Guardian’s Chamber (Where you fight Cerberus)
How I Beat It:
Weapons/Style: E&I and Rebellion, Any Style
Use Rebellion's Helmbreaker attack (triangle in the air) while jumping away at
any arrows fired, the best way to do this is kick the crap outta any enigma
that starts to spin its arrows. Another easy one.
SECOND TIME: just like I said before, DT if you can, A&R also work well
here, but it's better to stick with Rebellion
----------------------
Secret Mission 3: Death from Above
Objective: Stay in the air for 20 seconds
Enemies: Hell Pride (infinite)
Location: Mission 7, The Dark Corridor, this is the first room of this mission,
so go forward, make a right to head to the brown door, but don’t go in. See
that torch on Dante’s right? Jump over it (air hike or wall jump, it doesn’t
matter) to a red statue in a crevice. Examine it to enter.
Location of Mission: Trial of Wisdom (where you earn one of the 3)
How I Beat It:
Weapons/Style: E&I, Rebellion (I really seem to like these combo) Any Style,
(Swordmaster or Trickster recommended)
Lure the prides to the corner, and then do the following: wall jump, then
jump off the back of a pride, rinse and repeat. If going Swordmaster, use
the Aerial Rave to stay in the air longer, as soon as a pride jumps up,
jump off of it, and then use Air Hike. If you're a trickster, use the Wall
Hike. Keep it up until you're done. Either way, you can always use E&I for
more airtime.
SECOND TIME: Do as the first time around, but after 10 seconds or so, DT
with Nevan, and then use Air Raid if you bought it. Laugh from above as you
get your prize!
----------------------
Secret Mission 4: Devil's Teeter-totter
Objective: Ride the elevator to the top
Enemies: Enhanced Hell Prides (infinite)
Location: Mission 8, Leviathan's Stomach
Location of Mission: Surge of Fortunas (Where you find Secret Mission 2)
How I Beat It:
Weapons/Style: Shotgun, Rebellion. Trickster style
Yes, I used the so called 'glitch' to beat this one but it as simple as running
up any pillar on the 4 corners of the platform while it makes the prides
disappear after a certain distance. Either that, or actually knock them off
using Rebellion and the shotgun. Another way to get some off, is to jump off of
the platform then airhike back on.
SECOND TIME: Same as first. But by then you'll have the Gun Stinger :) Or K.A.
----------------------
Secret Mission 5: Destroyer
Objective: Destroy every destructible background object within the time limit
(50 items in 40 seconds)
Enemies: -none-
Location: Mission 9 (and 10) Limestone Cavern, when entering from the waterfall,
it's on Dante's right, an opening in which leads to 2 red crystals by the wall,
examine them to enter the mission.
Location of Mission: The Bullseye (Where you get the shotgun)
How I Beat It:
Weapons/Style: Rebellion or A&R with any guns or style
Just keep track or what you break, but this seemed to work best for me: the
format is like this:
The first number shows what order to do the attacks, then what and how you
should destroy them, then how many your total destroyed should be after
completing the step.
This is a 12 step program every alcoholic should take!
1) Break the sign behind you (1)
2) In one swipe take out both tables at once (3)
3) Take out the 2 bottles on one shelf (5)
4) Then the other 3 on the other shelf (Rebellion Combo II works well here) (8)
5) Then the Last table with a stool (10)
6) Then the 2 barrels next to where you got the shotgun (12)
7) The jukebox, slot machines and the 2 barrels (Rebellion Combo II) (18)
8) The other 2 barrels next to the jukebox (20)
9) Do 2 Rebellion Combo I's next to the bar, break 15 bottles and a barrel (36)
10) Attack the rack with the glasses with a helmbreaker, facing the right. (42)
11) Combo or Stinger the barstools (47)
12) Jump up and Helmbreaker the last 3 barrels (50)
You should finish with 3-5 seconds left.
SECOND TIME: two words: Kalina Ann
----------------------
Secret Mission 6: Flight of the Demon
Objective: Collect every red orb within the time limit
Enemies: -none-
Location: Mission 10, Subterranean Lake, behind the statue where you get the
Neo-Generator, look for a smaller statue to the right of it.
Location of Mission: Leviathan's stomach (where mission 8 began)
How I Beat It:
Weapons/Style: Any Guns, Nevan, Any style, Devil Star (optional)
Another easy one, DT with Nevan, and use air raid, follow the path of orbs
until it splits; go the right path and as soon as you get the 4th one,
head back over tot he left path (with the white orbs) making your way back to
the right path. Snatch those up, and then drop along side the wall so you fall
between the 3 orbs there, catching them all (Do so by letting go of R1) then as
soon as you hit ground, fly again, this time just getting all those orbs until
the end. Use a Devil Star if need be.
SECOND TIME: Same As before
----------------------
Secret Mission 7: Hang 10
Objective: Obtain the Blue Orb within the time limit. (30 seconds)
Enemies: Hell Gluttony (5)
Location: Mission 11, Gears of Madness, when you reach the lower door, look for
a platform on the left side of Dante (if he's facing the door) Jump on that
platform, then double jump to find an opening in the wall above, get in there,
and check the red seal on the wall.
Location of Mission: Subground Water Vein (where the enigmas start shooting red
arrows, and get evasive for the first time)
How I Beat It:
Weapons/Style: Any gun, Rebellion, any style
Just DT it! As long as you got enough you can run from the stairs on (you
should have about 20 seconds left by then) If you get close, and time's almost
up, STINGER, STINGER, STINGER!
SECOND TIME: It's best to do it in Mission 12, since DT is infinite (or if you
unlocked Super Dante) Just don’t die doing it!
----------------------
Secret Mission 8: Tough Guys
Objective: Destroy All Enemies
Enemies: Arachne (3), Large Arachne (5), Hell Vanguard (2)
Location:
Location of Mission: Underground Arena (where you fought Geryon)
How I beat it:
Weapons/Style: E&I, Rebellion, Royal Guard, holy Water (optional)
Use the RG to use! If you have at least Lv 2 you should be in the clear. When
the first 3 Arachne emerges hack away with rebellion, yet use the RG block for
all the attacks, this way it fully charges, try to finish them off so you kill
them one after another, then the larger ones come, fight then using E&I until
you have killed at least one, then DT, hack one to death, then use release on
the last, by then the first Vanguard would have shown up. Whatever you do DONT
RUN AWAY. This will cause them to attack more fiercely with their teleport
attacks. Hack until you hear the *ding* of their counter block/attack then
guard (this will trigger your setup for another release) after so keep the
pain coming (this would be when you’d use the Holy Water) then voila! Another
blue Orb fragment in your pocket!
SECOND TIME: Kind of the same, but this time, use Kalina Ann when they are
open. Also try using Quicksilver, it lets you get a lot of hits in...
----------------------
Secret Mission 9: Target Practice
Objective: Do not let a single enemy escape
Enemies: Hell Pride (2), Hell Lust (3), Hell Wrath (17)
Location: Mission 13, Vestibule, once you break the wall and make the left to
get inside, it's right above the blue-flamed torch on your left, examine the
red-eyed skull to enter.
Location of Mission: Temperance Wagon (Where you go right before and after you
fight Beowulf)
How I Beat It:
Weapons/Style: E&I, Anything with air hike, Gunslinger (naturally...)
This one was simple, your best friends here are the charge, rapid shot, and
your L3 Button. Charge up and rapid-fire the Wraths, then let loose on whatever
is left, this, normally being the Lusts, which can take more damage, since the
Wrath's explosion pwns any pride. Remember if the Lust is on the ground while
you're shooting it, you might have to jump up to keep the damage going, (or
else you'd be hitting the wagon, and it gets away) if they are suspended in the
air, perfect. Keep them up there. Don’t stop shooting till it's over.
Here's the Enemy count per wagon:
1) 2 Wraths and a Pride
2) A Wrath and a Pride
3) 2 Wraths and a Lust
4) A Wrath and a Lust
5) 2 Wraths and a Lust
6) A Wrath
