Introduction

First of all, thanks for reading my FAQ. This guide is intended to walk you through the gameplay, while finding all Lost Souls, Key Locations, and Secret Missions. I try and make all my guide spoiler-free so do not expect me to tell you what is going on story wise as you play. I suggest you play through the game once on your own, and then use my guide as a hidden item finder if you don't care about how many hours you put into the game. If you want to play through each level as little as possible, then use this guide from beginning to end.

If you want me to add something or notice a mistake, please email me at the above address with the correct information.

Basics Features

---

Movement & Abilities

---

---

Dante has the ability to get almost anywhere once he has unlocked his full potential; from diving out of the way of enemy attacks, gliding through the air, or grappling his way around.

Gliding - Angel Boost

Sometimes gaps are too big for for Dante to jump normally, but with Angel Boost they should be no problem. Once acquired, Dante can enter Angel mode before or as he jumps and hit X/A to glide away. The longer L2/LB is held, the farter he will go.

Grappling - Demon Pull & Angel Lift

There are two forms of grappling; Demon Pull, which pulls and object or enemy toward Dante, and Angel Lift, which pulls Dante to the object or enemy. Once mastered, these abilities not only aid in platforming, they can be extremely useful in battle.

.

---

---

Health & Death

---

---

Dante's health is tracked by the bar in the upper left corner of the HUD and as he takes damage the bar will dwindle until death. There are three ways to regain health: Green Orbs, Vital Stars, or purchasing a Health Cross, which also increases the maximum health. If depleted, Dante will die and the player must either continue by using a Gold Orb (this will revive him), continue from the last checkpoint, or quit the mission.

.

---

---

Devil Trigger

---

---

Devil Trigger is tracked by the purple bar underneath Dante's health and can only be used once the bar is past the white line. While active, the enemies will be thrust into the air and paused, Dante's attacks and defense will increase, and he regenerates health. It is best used when in a tight spot or a certain enemy needs to be taken out quickly to ease the rest of the battle.

.

Combat & Level Scoring

As Dante fights in battle he will gain Style Points and be awarded with a Style Rank. At the basic level of understand it is as simple as understanding that each time you land a successful kill the multiplier will increase and each hit taken will lower the multiplier. From there you must understand that each attack as a set value of Style Points assigned to it; the more damage done, the more points earned. Therefore, using an attack with no multiplier will generate less Style Points than if you had an SSS multiplier.

The multiplier ranks are as follows:

Rank	Multiplier
SSS	x8
SS	x7
S	x6
A	x5
B	x4
C	x3
D	x2

The more advanced understanding is that attacks decay in value the more they are used. This means that you will want to change up your attacks and weapons as much as possible to allow your points to soar. Using high damage attacks from weapons like Osiris and Arbiter in conjunction with bonuses such as Demon Evade will make your score skyrocket to insane numbers and help you get that SSS Rank on the level scoring (see below).

.

At the end of each level the player will be assigned a Level Ranking that uses the following criteria:

Style Points	The majority of your overall score, it is the easiest way to get an SSS rank. As mentioned above, Style Points are earned in combat.
Time	This is based on the time it takes to finish the level from start to finish, not counting Secret Missions or cutscene. The quicker you are the better, but not at the loss of point earned from collectibles or combat, since these are worth far more points.
Collectibles	The score earned is purely based on the percent of Keys, Lost Souls, and Secret Missions you found in the level. Once found, they will remain counting for all repeated attempts at the mission.
Items	Any Vital Stars or Devil trigger Stars used in a mission is a straight penalty. While you may be tempted to never use an item, be aware that dying has a much higher penalty loss.
Deaths	Like items, this is a flat penalty for each death in the mission.

.

Items & Weapons

.

Weapons

.

Rebellion

The Rebellion is a balance of speed and power, with it being better at single-target damage than angelic weapons and has speed over the demonic weapons. Overall, it is a useful weapon for almost any situation, except against enemies with immunities and shields.

.

Ebony and Ivory

Ebony & Ivory are Dante's trademark handguns with unlimited bullets and no need to reload. These guns fire in rapid succession, but have a low damage output. They are best for interrupting enemy attacks rather than defeating enemies.

Arbiter

Arbiter is a huge battle axe and the first Demon weapon Dante will acquire. Although the highest damage output weapon in the game, it is slow and leaves Dante unable to evade mid swing. It is best suited for slow, stunned, or shielded enemies and on the ground.

.

Osiris

The Osiris is a large and light scythe and one of the Slower and weaker than Rebellion, this angelic scyth reaps through crowds of enemies with its wide aoe swings as it becomes brighter and stronger the longer it is used. While Osiris has both ground and air moves, it really shines when used in the air, since it can juggle a number of enemies at once and dish out damage with its combos.

.

Eryx

These burning demonic gauntlets are ideal for tough close quarter combat. Each attack can be charges to increase damage and range, but it's greatest when used to stagger tough enemies or of interrupt their attack. It has a mid-range speed and is best used when Arbiter is too slow and evasion is needed at the last minute.

.

Aquila

The Aquila is actually a pair of angelic blades that are powerful when fighting a large group of lesser enemies. It is best used in long range combat, as they have the widest melee range of any weapon in Dante's arsenal, but they lack any real form of damage. Their best move is Round Trip, which stuns any enemy for a decent period of time, and should be used in conjunction with other weapons.

.

Revenant

The Revenant is a human class weapon that works as a shotgun. It has the ability to knock back light enemies, but it is hindered by a slow firing speed and short range distance at which it is effective.

Kablooey

Kablooey doesn't actually fire bullets, it fires darts that must be manually detonated. It is best used to shoot multiple darts into an enemy that can be detonated later to interrupt an attack or frenzy state.

	Requires	Playstation 3	Xbox 360

.

Walkthrough

The following guide assumes that you are playing on Nephilim mode, but will require hints for enhanced difficulty modes as well. The difficulty settings in DmC are less than generic, with multiple difficulties within a greater difficulty. What does that mean? Well, see the following chart:

Normal Difficulty Modes	Human
	Devil Hunter
	Nephilim
Enhanced Difficulty Modes	Son of Sparda
	Heaven or Hell
	Hell and Hell
Dante Must Die!	-

On your first playthrough, you will only be able to select from the normal difficulty modes. Once you beat the game you can advance to the enhanced difficulty modes and then finally Dante Must Die!.

.

Mission 1: Found

After a debaucherious night of partying involving women, sex and a naked Dante dressing mid-air, Dante will find himself in limbo again with a whole new night of hell before him.

Right away, you will presented with a tutorial fight to gain your bearings and understand the basic controls of DmC: Devil may Cry. Follow the on screen tutorial, assuming you have the feature enabled, to plow through your first fight with the Rebellion.

	Wave 1	Wave 2	Wave 3
Normal Difficulties	Lesser Stygian x3	Lesser Stygian x3	Lesser Stygian x3
Enhanced Difficulties	Stygian x2, Dark Knight	Stygian x2, Death Knight	Elite Stygian x2
Dante Must Die!	Stygian x2, Ravager	Stygian x2, Ravager	Elite Stygian x3
This initial fight is considered a tutorial fight, and is therefore not to difficult on normal difficulties. The Less Stygian have predictable and easy to identify attacks and die in a few hits. Use Dante's Rebellion to slash your way through the easy enemies evade their attacks with R1/RB or L1/LB.

Check the area for breakables containing [[Red Orb]]s and then head down the boardwalk and jump over the black stuff blocking the path for a cutscene.

As the Hunter Demon destroys the section of the boardwalk, run forward and avoid the gaps and trailers that drop in your path. Stick to the center until you are forced left and keep going to jump on a falling trailer to reach the other side. After a quick intro to the new Bathos, Dante will have another wave fight on his hands.

	Wave 1	Wave 2	Wave 3	Wave 4
Normal Difficulties	Bathos	Bathos x4	Bathos x2	Bathos x2, Lesser Stygian x2
Enhanced Difficulties	Bathos	Shielded Bathos x3, Dark Knight x2	Shielded Bathos x2, Elite Stygian x2	-
Dante Must Die!	Bathos	Harpy x2, Elite Stygian x3	Harpy x3, Death Knight x2	-
Using Dante's guns, Ebony and Ivory, shoot the Bathos down. Other tactics that can be used are to hit their flaming grenades back in their face with a well timed slice from your sword or jumping up and attacking them in mid-air.

After the fight another cutscene will introduce you the Kat , a medium of some sort, who will help Dante on his way through limbo. For now, let's focus on making our way through mission 1. After the cutscene, check the previous area for breakables and advance along the boardwalk.

Continue along the boardwalk until you come across a quick scene that will introduce you to Lost Souls and allow you to collect the Lost Soul #2. To your left, you'll notice a set of broken platforms that lead off into the distance. Cross the platforms and collect the first Copper Key #1.

Head back to the area with the Lost Soul and follow the path behind the building into a court with a spinning carnival ride for another fight.

Normal Difficulties	Lesser Stygian x8
Enhanced Difficulties	Lesser Stygian x5, Elite Stygian x3
Dante Must Die!	Lesser Stygian x8, Death Knight x2
Although you can wade through this mob of enemies the old fashion way of physical combat, it is much more fun to tap O/B to launch the enemies up into the spinning carnival ride. Make sure you do not hold the button, as Dante will follow the creature and get smacked himself.

After the fight, follow the linear path until you have to double-jump up to a Gold Orb and continue. When you reach the carousel, stick to the right to find a small alley with a Small Vital Star.

Continue and you will be introduced to the Divinity Statues/Shops where you can purchase upgrades and items. I suggest you only use the Red Orbs to purchase Health Crosses, since they upgrade Dante's health permanently. DO NOT buy Vital Stars, as these lower your score and you'll need to learn to survive without using them. Continue to another fight.

	Wave 1	Wave 2
Normal Difficulties	Lesser Stygian x4, Bathos x3	-
Enhanced Difficulties	Shielded Pathos x3, Frost Knight x3	Shielded Bathos x2, Ravager x3
Dante Must Die!	Stygian x2, Ravager	Rage x2
As the enemies slowly spawn in this fight, it is important to stay ahead of the curve by quickly killing the enemies. Make sure to keep moving to avoid the Bathos grenades and you should be fine.

After the fight, the Hunter Demon will attack from a distance. Evade the attacks with R1/RT and make your way to the back right corner to enter a haunted house. Follow the path around the corner and be ready to avoid the Hunter Demon's claw as it pops through the side of the building. Once it has left the building, continue into the large main hall.

In this hall you should find a small alley with a breakable and a Copper Door - Air Brawl. If you have the Copper Key from earlier, go ahead and use it to unlock the door. Although you can choose to take on the secret mission now, I will cover the all of these in the Secret Missions section of this guide.

When you are ready, approach the large mirror for a cutscene. Once it is clear, enter the new area and turn right and immediately look up at the wall for the Lost Soul #4.

Now follow the other direction past the first creepy doll and watch as the second is electrocuted. The small alley to the left of this second doll leads to a dead end, but also contains the Lost Soul #6 on the doors archway. Continue along the path to a clockwork room, which is in fact a lovely trap.

Normal Difficulties	Lesser Stygian x10
Enhanced Difficulties	Lesser Stygian x12, Death Knight
Dante Must Die!	Lesser Stygian x14, Death Knight
Despite the large number of enemies, Dante can take these guys out by quickly knocking them into the spinning cogs. Keeping them bunched together will work to your advantage, allowing you to disrupt their sword attacks and deal damage to multiple targets.

Once you have cleared the area, advance through the area by jumping over the cogs or timing a run through them. Watch out for the cogs on the ceiling as you go, as they can cause damage too, and make your way to the exit.

Mission 2: Home Truths

After the long cutscene, Dante will be in a large mansion in limbo. Follow the path straight to a scene as you enter the foyer. Once you have control again, go up the main staircase and continue right until you spot the [[Copper Key #2]] in a room near the front of the foyer. Return to the stairs and cross to the other side of the foyer and enter the hallway on the other side with a Divinity Statue just inside.

Continue into the gallery for a cutscene and then a wave fight.

	Wave 1	Wave 2	Wave 3
Normal Difficulties	Lesser Stygian x4	Lesser Stygian x4	Death Knight
Enhanced Difficulties	Stygian x3, Death Knight x2	Death Knight x2, Butcher	Blood Rage x2
Dante Must Die!	Stygian x2, Elite Stygian x2	Dreamrunner	Blood Rage x2
The Lesser Stygian should be no problem for you by now, so take them out until the Death Knight shows up. For now, without a proper weapon for these, the Death Knight's can be quite deadly. Focus on either attacking them as they prepare to attack Dante or getting behind them for rear attacks. If you do pound on their shields enough you can manage to guard break them, leaving them vulnerable.

After the fight, approach the Sparda painting and retrieve the Arbiter axe, which we will get to put to use right away. In order to use the Arbiter, you must hold down R2 to equip it and then attack as normal. This will quickly break the Death Knight's guard and leave it open to attacks with your sword. Be careful, as you can not dodge mid swing, when Dante is vulnerable due to the slow swipe.

After testing out your new weapon, leave the gallery out the other side for an obvious Lost Soul.

As you fall into the pit below, turn around to spot the Lost Soul #10 on the wall nearby before continuing into the next room.

Follow the path down and back to the foyer for another fight.

	Wave 1	Wave 2
Normal Difficulties	Lesser Stygian x3, Death Knight	-
Enhanced Difficulties	Stygian x3, Ravager x2	Ravager, Elite Stygian x3
Dante Must Die!	Stygian x3, Elite Stygian x3	Frost Knight x2
By now you should have tactics down for these two enemies. Focus on avoiding the Death Knight when possible, but don't be afraid to switch to the Arbiter when they get all bunched together and attack them all. If you want to take out the Death Knight quickly, on the other hand, launch a Lesser Stygian nearby into the air to buy any time you need to get a few swipes of the Arbiter on the Death Knight.

After a quick scene, following the fight, head up the glowing door and smash it with the Arbiter to enter. Turn around right away and kill the Lost Soul #11 directly above the door frame. Now continue onward.

Follow the children, into a abandoned bedroom for another fight.

	Wave 1	Wave 2
Normal Difficulties	Death Knight x3	-
Enhanced Difficulties	Death Knight x3	Death Knight
Dante Must Die!	Death Knight x4	-
This fight is best done defensively, to avoid too much damage. Evade attacks as you slowly hack the Death Knight's life away with the Arbiter 1-2 hits at a time. Do not get into a chain of attacks that leave you vulnerable to other Death Knights walking up and smacking you.

After a cutscene, Dante will be in a dream-like area. Follow the path, and the tutorials, to learn how to use Dante's devil powers and make your way through the area. What you basically want to look for is glowing red spots in the distance that say "use the Arbiter and Square/Y" to pull them closer.

When you reach a flat platform, the game will tell you to use Demon pull to grab the Bathos and pull them closer. After a easy fight, to learn how to use this in battle, you can move on to destroy the large stone with the Arbiter.

Back in limbo, drop into the new room with the Copper Door - Simple Eradication and a Eryx crystal on the floor.

Head forward and when the floor falls out, turn around and look up at the archway to find the Lost Soul #13. Now continue using Demon Pull and Arbiter to advance back to the foyer.

	Wave 1	Wave 2
Normal Difficulties	Shielded Bathos x2, Lesser Stygian x2	-
Enhanced Difficulties	Shielded Bathos x3, Death Knight x2	Stygian x3
Dante Must Die!	Harpy x2, Death Knight x2	-
Although the Shielded Bathos may look intimidating, they are just as easy as normal Bathos when you deshield them with Demon Pull.

After the fight, follow the floating platforms and break through the glowing door to reach a Divinity Statue.

Follow the hallway to another gallery with another painting of a woman named Eva and more fighting.

	Wave 1	Wave 2	Wave 3
Normal Difficulties	Lesser Stygian x3, Death Knight	Lesser Stygian x12	-
Enhanced Difficulties	Ravager x2, Frost Knight	Dreamrunner	Ghost Rage x2
Dante Must Die!	Lesser Stygian x4, Ravager	Lesser Stygian x4, Butcher	Ghost Rage x2
This fight is actually broken up by an event, with the first wave before and the second after. Start by defeating the first wave, in the normal fashion, and then examine the portrait to gain the Osiris. The second wave is you playground with the Osiris equipped by holding R2/RB. This is a mob killing weapon that causes a wide AOE damage with every swipe and is great for gaining points on a cluster of weak enemies. The more you use the Osiris in battle, the stronger it becomes as it charges up.

Backtrack out of the gallery and turn left to open that previous glowing blue doorway by slashing multiple times. Inside, above the doorway, is the Lost Soul mentioned previously. Now, head straight out back to the foyer for a scene.

Using the floating platforms and Demon Pull, reach the glowing red door and break it with Arbiter. Now blast through the glowing blue vines and check out the large gap on the right side of the hallway.

Now follow the path into the library for a scene and another dream-like level.

It is now time to learn Angel Lift, the angelic version of Demon Pull, but instead of pulling the environment it pulls Dante from place to place. Use this to follow the linear path. As Demon Pull can move enemies to Dante, Angel Lift moves Dante to the enemy. This can be used to cross gaps or vault up into the air to reach an enemy. Use these tactics to continue through the level. Be careful of the last lift which requires you to quickly switch to Demon Pull.

When Dante returns to the library the game will prompt you with a valuable tactical advice and another battle.

	Wave 1	Wave 2
Normal Difficulties	Shielded Bathos x4, Lesser Stygian x3	-
Enhanced Difficulties	Ravager x3, Death Knight x2	Ravager x2, Death Knight x4
Dante Must Die!	Lesser Stygian x2, Ravager	Lesser Stygianx2, Witch
Although the game has just taught you how to shoot the bombs back at the Bathos, it is much more effective to Demon Pull them into their own grenades. Evade frequently to avoid damage from incoming grenades and focus on the Bathos first.

You can now exit the library for a cutscene. With your past mostly figured out, you will have a rough time exiting the mansion as you have to switch between Angel Lift and Demon Pull to progress. When you reach the long hallway, watch out as the hallway tilts left and right to make you miss jumps over gaps or slide you off your currently area. When you reach the other side the mission will end.

.

Mission 3: Bloodlines

After the catch on to what you have probably already figured out, you will be thrust into limbo and forced into a fight.

	Wave 1	Wave 2
Normal Difficulties	Shielded Bathos x2, Death Knight x2	Ravager
Enhanced Difficulties	Shielded Bathos x2, Stygian x2	Shielded Pathos x2, Ravager x2
Dante Must Die!	Pathos x2, Tyrant	Dreamrunner
Focus on taking out the Shielded Bathos first by double Demon Pulling them and finishing them with your sword. Afterwards, focus on the Death Knights with the Arbiter, while making sure you do not leave yourself vulnerable to attack from the one while fighting the other. Once the first wave is complete you will meet the new Ravager monster. This chainsaw-wielding monster likes to charge right at Dante, so evade to the side to avoid damage. You will want to attack this guy from the sides and rear, but make sure you get evade to roll away when he lights up.

After the fight, head through the archway and watch as the road ahead is destroyed. Turn around now and look up and left of the archway to spot the Lost Soul #16 before checking the left alley for a Small Vital Star and the right for a Divinity Statue. The wall nearby can be broken with the Arbiter and contains a [[Copper Key #3]]. Now return to the plaza for another fight.

	Wave 1	Wave 2
Normal Difficulties	Lesser Stygian x8	Ravager
Enhanced Difficulties	Death Knight x6, Ravager x2	Butcher
Dante Must Die!	Rage Spawn x5	Butcher, Rage Spawn x4
Using the Osiris, take out all the Lesser Stygian until the Ravager shows up and then switch focus. The Ravager likes to attack whenever Dante attacks from the front or stands too close, so make sure to be careful. Switch between the Arbiter for damage and the Rebellion for maneuverability. It is best to only use 1-2 hits from Arbiter before preparing to dodge.

After the fight, use Angel Lift on the glowing blue ledge near the doorway on the upper level to reach the 2nd floor. Inside, you will have a quick fight before you can continue.

Normal Difficulties	Ravager
Enhanced Difficulties	Ravager x2
Dante Must Die!	Ravager x2

After the fight, follow the path and use Angel Lift to reach the last solid platform with the two spinning platforms circling nearby. Wait for the nearby platform to level and use it to reach the top of the fountain where a blue rose lies.

In the dream world you will now have access to Angel Boost. Using your new ability, make your way through all the tutorials to break another rock with Arbiter. Note that the hardest combinations are when switching between Angel and Devil skills. Use this time to practice this.

When you return to limbo, you will be faced with a new enemy and another wave of enemies.

	Wave 1	Wave 2
Normal Difficulties	Pathos x2, Lesser Stygian x5, Death Knight	Ravager x2
Enhanced Difficulties	Shielded Pathos x2, Stygian x3	Rage x2
Dante Must Die!	Shielded Bathos x2, Elite Stygian x3	Rage, Witch
Stay on top of the fountain and use Demon Pull to kill both of the Pathos before dropping to the ground. Once again, use Osiris to take out the Lesser Stygian while avoiding the Death Knight until you have dwindle the numbers down. Once the two Ravagers show up, focus on trying to get them airborne to allow for a good chain of attacks; the Arbiter's launch attack is great here.

Instead of heading through the archway again, return to the 2nd floor and the turn around and stare out at the plaza. Notice the walkway off to the left, this can be Angel Boosted to, but the Argent Door - What Goes Around cannot be opened until you find an Argent Key. Return to the 2nd floor and follow the path to the Angel Lifts. Use the first two and then Angel Boost right to a small platform with the Lost Soul #18.

When you are ready, approach the archway and Angel Boost to the end of the level.

.

Mission 4: Under Watch

Dante just can't stay out of trouble it seems and within only a few steps of being in limbo he will be in for another fight.

	Wave 1	Wave 2	Wave 3
Normal Difficulties	Lesser Stygian x2, Stygian x5	Ravager	-
Enhanced Difficulties	Lesser Stygian x3	Elite Stygian x2, Witch	-
Dante Must Die!	Stygian x3	Stygian x2, Elite Stygian x3	Shielded Pathos x2, Ravager x2
The beginning of this fight is a great place for style points, as the Stygian enemies have health but pose little threat. Once the Ravager shows up you will need to dispatch of it. If you want some advanced tips: launching a Ravager and then attacking it, Angel Lifting back to it when it is tossed out of range, will tear these guys apart.

After the fight, check the area for breakables and make sure to the Lost Soul #19 in the front right corner of the building's archway. Now head down the left alley to Demon Pull and then Angel Lift up to a ledge. The buildings corner has the Lost Soul #20 above you on the right which can be damaged through the use of a simple jump.

Return to the platform you were just on, if needed, and use Demon Pull and Angel Lift on the ledge across the street to reach the camera eye with another Demon Pull and unlock the area for advancement. Head down the path for a scene.

Instead of following Kat, turn around to a small alley with a Small Vital Star and the Lost Soul #21 above the archway. Now continue to follow Kat's path.

Now, return to the main path and follow Kat to a tutorial about demonic shards and then continue again to a fight.

Shielded Pathos, like Shielded Bathos, are not much stronger than their original version. Using Demon Pull, grab the Shielded Pathos and pull them to you and finish them off before working on the Stygian. When the Ravager shows, take out the new Shielded Pathos before launching and killing the Ravager.

After the fight, jump on the top of the fountain and search the area to spot the Lost Soul #22, which requires you to Angel Boost across to perform a mid-air combo. Return to the fountain and face the direction you entered from to spot and Angel Lift that you can boost to. When you land, look right to get the Lost Soul #23 and then return upstairs and follow the path to a [[Gold Key #1]].

Return to the fountain and continue along the only path available to be surprised by a crushing possibility of death. Using Angel Boost, glide through the claustrophobic trap and out the other side for a fight.

The Frost Knight is immune to all attacks except angelic weapons, so bust out the Osiris and get to work. When the Stygian's appear, keep using the Osiris as an AOE weapon and make sure to avoid the Frost Knight's ranged attacks. On the final wave you want to focus on taking out the Shielded Pathos asap and then work on the Stygian while avoiding the Ravager's attacks. Finally, launch the Ravager and give it a kiss goodnight.

There are three paths in this area, but you'll want to take the right one first. Just past the Divinty Statue, on the left, is an Angel Lift on the right. Use this to reach a higher platform and then make sure you can look down the alley to spot the Lost Soul #24, which can be reached with Angel Boost. Once the Lost Soul is dead, return to the platform and jump across to cut through the blue vines and reach a Copper Door - Simple Traversal. Leave the room and Angel Boost across the gap to another platform where you can Demon Pull the camera down from.

You can now continue down the farthest left path to continue, but make sure to get the breakables in the middle alley first. After the cutscene, Demon Pull the steps and surrounding structures to reach the glowing wall that can be broken with Arbiter and collect the Lost Soul #26. Now exit and spot the Lost Soul #25 directly across the way. Now drop down and destroy the final camera and pick a fight.

The central alley is the only way to go now, so head forward and watch as limbo begins to crumble around you. Using Angel Boost, make your way through the area as best you can. Be prepared to fire Ebony and Ivory as a set of Demonic Shards will be in your way. Defeat it and then continue through the area to a chapel.

As always, focus on taking out the Shielded Pathos first to ensure no ranged attacks will hit Dante. When the two Frost Knights appear, use Osiris launch attacks to perform a mid-air combo and avoid the ranged ground attacks by the other Frost Knight. The Shielded Pathos and Ravager wave can devastate Dante, since the room is small and leaves Dante with little room to avoid being hit by one Ravager while the he attacks the other. As usual, the best idea is to launch a Ravager and use Angel Lift to stay away from the other Ravager. Be careful and take your time, since the real fight is the Tyrant that follows.

The Tyrant is easy, once you understand how he works. Consisting of two phases, the Tyrant will charge Dante and expose its back, which is weak to either Demon Pull or Angel Lift (you can't Demon Pull Tyrants when they frenzy). Continue to avoid Tyrant's charge and smash attacks and pull the Tyrant to its knees and get a few attacks with Arbiter in. Be careful, as the Tyrant will get up and attack Dante quickly.

After the battle, and a cutscene, use Angel Boost to cross the collapsing chapel. Just as you think you have reached the end, the platform will pull back and you will need to Angel Lift to exit the chapel through the rose window.

.

Mission 5: Virility

After the cutscene, which is pretty visual interesting, Dante will be in the employee section of the Virility warehouse. Since Dante doesn't have any abilities in real life, simply follow Kat until you are thrust into limbo.

Since the warehouse is full of containers, naturally you'll be doing a lot of traversal. Start by heading up and taking the left path using Demon Pull. You will quickly reach a set of Angel Lift's that lead to a small platform with a lot of Demon Pull containers in front of you. Instead of heading forward using Demon Pull, look up and left to spot an Angel Lift high in the sky. Use the Demon Pulls directly in front of you to get high enough to use the Angel Lift you just spotted and reach the Lost Soul #27. Now return to the containers below and continue to a fight.

Normal Difficulties	Pathos x2, Stygian x2
Enhanced Difficulties	Shielded Pathos x2, Stygian x4

Demon Pull the container on the left wall and use it to reach the Angel Lifts that take you to the other side of the level, where you would have ended up had you taken the right path originally. Turn left and perform an Angel Lift, followed by a Demon Pull, and then a Angel Boost. If you fall, don't worry the doors will stay open.

The Hell Knight is the opposite version of the Frost Knight, meaning it only takes damage to Devil attacks. Holding R2/RB, got all out on the Hell Knight without worry of being set on fire, as Dante is immune in Devil mode. Repeat the process in wave 2, being a little cautious of the Stygian attacks, and then prepare for the third wave. Firstly, you want to take out the Pathos by using Demon Pull and then you can focus on the Stygian. When you are left with only the Tyrant, use the same strategy you used in the chapel on the previous level.

Start by climbing the green crates on the one side of the yard and look for the Angel Lift in the distance that you'll need to boost to. This will lead you to the Lost Soul #28. You can then Angel Lift/Boost back to the yard. You can plainly see the [[Copper Key #4]] behind a gate, but to reach it you will need to jump up on the crates to its right to get behind and collect it.

Continue to a large area with a Divinity Statue and them climb the boxes nearby to reach a Copper Door - Demonic Conflict. Now drop and continue, shooting the Demonic Shards, until you reach another large area with a glowing red pipe and a quick fight. Using the glowing pipe, pull the platform across the area and advance to reach the Lost Soul #29 on the right wall.

Follow the right wall, using Angel Boost, until you reach a container that can be Demon Pulled on your right. Do so and advance for a quick fight with some knights.

Normal Difficulties	Hell Knight, Frost Knight
Enhanced Difficulties	Stygian x2, Ravager x2
Dante Must Die!	Rage x2

Instead of advancing, face the area you just traversed and the head left over a container to find the Lost Soul #31 hiding on the far wall. Now return to the area where you fought the knights and look up. The Lost Soul #32 can be gotten by jumping up the crates on the opposite side of the area.

From the highest level, head to the Angel Lifts on the left side of the room (facing out into the large room) and use them to propel across the area, Demon Pull a black web, and then continue to Angel Lift into a red container and reach the Eryx crystal wall. Now, turn around and Angel Lift to the right platform and follow it to the [[Argent Key #3]].

When you are ready, return to the area where you fought the knights and continue until the next big room with some big fights.

After the fight, you will need to find your way out of the maze. The correct path is: Right, straight through the angelic vines for a Small Vital Star, 2nd Left, Angel Boost over the two pools of liquid, kill the Death Knight, break open the wall with Arbiter to access the Argent Door - Displaced Skirmish, take a Left from the room, kill the Ravager, enter the nearby door to reach a Divinity Statue.

From the Divinity Statue, turn around and follow the path to the mixing room for a fight.

The first two waves should not pose much of a problem, just avoid the leaking containers of goo and keep your chain up. When the Tyrant x2 comes out, you will need to try and split them up by having 1 charge you and the other getting stuck behind the central column and away from Dante. If you manage to separate them enough, you can unleash a good deal of damage on a Tyrant without worrying about his buddy attacking you from behind. Be careful, as the liquid likes to go all over the place and kill your chain, if the Tyrant's don't do so themselves.

When the fight is over, approach Kat to finish the level.

.

Mission 6: Secret Ingredient

After the cutscene, you will have a clock ticking down as you make your way through the first section of this game. Because you will need to stop for keys and Lost Souls you will likely run out of time. Do not fear, you can always go through once getting the items and then restart and beat the clock.

Start by turning around and getting the [[Copper Key #5]] on the ledge below. You can now advance until you reach the 1st Demon Pull. After the 1st Demon pull, upon reaching the other side via Angel Boost and Angel Lift, turn around and look up to find the Lost Soul #33. You can now rush to the end of the pipe and Demon Pull the hatch for a cutscene.

Follow the pipe for another cutscene and then you will be on a flat platform below. Turn to your left and kill the Lost Soul #34 on the column nearby before moving forward. Look off to the left, before the final door to spot a Copper Door - Rapid Descent. When you are ready, head for the Succubus.

Mission 7: Overturn

Nothing like an upside down world to get your day started. Jump up the floating platforms and make your way to the Eryx crystal wall and use the D-Pad to switch your weapon type and break the wall down. Inside the game will explain how to jump and use Eryx to break crystal in the floor; do this and then Angel Lift to another spot where you use Eryx to punch a vehicle. Continue until you reach your first fight in the mission.

Eryx is great for these battles, as it dishes out the heavy damage, protects Dante from the flaming floor, and a fully charged uppercut can break through even the Tyrant's charge. Use these new gauntlets to your advantage while making sure to evade attacks from smaller enemies.

After breaking through both doors for a short cutscene and then use Angel Lift/Boost and Demon Pull to proceed. When you reach the Eryx crystal wall, turn left and spot the Lost Soul #35 in the distance. Once you have the Lost Soul, break the Eryx crystal wall and proceed via the Angel Boosts.

When you reach a ramp that goes down to a fight with two Shielded Bathos, turn around and look for the small platform attacked to the building on the right and make your way to it. From this location, Demon Pull the container out and punch the Eryx crystal. Now turn around and Angel Boost to the platform on the right to gain access to the Gold Door - Divergent Slaughter and the Lost Soul #37 inside.

Head back outside to the container and look off to the left now for some glowing vines.

You can now continue through the container to a Large Vital Star and Angel Lift to another platform and continue to a quick scene. Continue until you spot the strange creature and then look left to spot an Angel Lift. Using Angel Boost directly across from the Divinity Statue, glide across and then Angel Lift to reach the new area which has an [[Argent Key #4]] in the room nearby. Now return and continue to a fight.

Rage's are deadly due to their speed and attack combos. I suggest that you keep them airborne if possible and dwindle their life semi evenly. Why? Well, when you defeat the first Rage, the other will go crazy and become super powerful. Avoid it when glowing and then finish of the little life it has when open.

To continue, jump through the window that the little creature did and the look left to get the Lost Soul #38. Continue to the elevator and then right at the fork to find the Lost Soul #39 attached to the other side of the wall. Now make your way all the way up the elevator shaft via Angel Boost and Angel Lift.

When you reach the top floor, identified by two brown boxes, jump around the left side of the nearby boxes and Angel Boost back onto the platform to get the Lost Soul #40 on the other side. If you are having issues, take the long way counter-clockwise around the shaft to reach the other side. When you are ready, board the elevator and use the Eryx's Stomp attack to lower the elevator.

Enter the room and get the Lost Soul #41 before breaking the Eryx crystal with Stomp and continuing to a fight.

If you didn't see it in battle, highly unlikely, make sure to check the room for a Copper Door - Angelic Warfare. If you do not have a key, no worries, since the [[Copper Key #7]] is located directly above and accessed via the Angel Lift and turning around to spot it. Now continue to the Divinity Statue and get the Lost Soul #42 hanging on the opposite wall.

Using the Angel Lift nearby, exit the area and head down the walkway until a major disaster blocks your path. Using Angel Lift and Angel Boost, make your way to the old man for a fight.

Mission 8: Eyeless

Watch the cutscene and then Angel Boost down to the old man for another scene. Using Angel Lift, follow the Harpies until the layout of the structure changes and the floor falls away. Angel Lift up the left side of the building and break the Eryx crystal doorway to proceed.

Continue through the next Eryx crystal doorway to get a Small Vital Star and the head back to the previous room and Demon Pull the platform to Angel Lift forward. Head toward the subway tunnel, but be wary of the trains that go barreling by. Once they have passed, head left to get the Lost Soul #44 before continuing right.

Follow the path and watch the lights on the side of the tracks. If the lights turn red, get to the other side of the track asap you be hit by the incoming train. Follow the path to a sunken section where you'll encounter a fight.

Like the Hurricane Ride in Mission 1, vaulting enemies up into the oncoming trains will provide you with easy kills, but lacks the style points you would have gotten otherwise. If you are going to vault enemies up into the trains, make sure they have taken a decent beating beforehand.

Instead of following the obvious path, head up into the subway shaft that you have not explored and follow it to an alcove with angelic vines and the [[Argent Key #5]] beyond it. Now return to the station and take the side route to a Divinity Statue, shooting the Demonic Shards that pop up and try to kill you.

Follow the Harpies, but when you see the open gates on each side, stop for the Argent Door - Moderate Traversal and Lost Soul #45. Continue, killing more Demonic Shards, and the drop into the large glass room. Demon Pull the eye out and initiate a fight.

If you have not learned how to properly Angel Lift on enemies this battle is going to be very difficult. Since the glass breaks under Dante's weight, you are going to need to Angel lift from enemy to enemy as you deal damage and stay in the air. Keep moving around, rather than focusing on one target, to avoid being shot by other Harpies and you should make it through the fight.

After the fight, check both side paths (orange signs) for the Lost Soul #46 and Lost Soul #47 before exiting via the Angel Lift with the green sign and following your path back. When you reach the subway station, you will encounter another fight.

With the floor now in tact, you do not run the risk of death via falling as you try and perform a Double Up on the angelic vines. If you do wish to try it now, use the Angel Lift to get up and then Angel Boost and perform the combo (see Double Up in your Move List). As a reminder, the Lost Soul #43 and Copper Door - A Taste of Heaven are behind this.

When you are ready, return outside to the old man.

.

Mission 9 - Devil Inside

After the cutscene, follow the path to break through an Arbiter wall and eventually you should see the Lost Soul #48 behind some angelic vines. Turn back and continue for a scene and then Angel Boost down the platforms to the Nephilim's wing for a new enemy.

Normal Difficulties	Witch
Enhanced Difficulties	Witch, Stygian x2
Dante Must Die!	Witch, Stygian x2
The witch is a powerful magic user who focus' on defense and ranged magic spells. The witch screams when she casts a spell in the air or on the ground, so be ready to evade when needed. The shield she cast on herself, or others, can only be broken with angelic weapons, so switch to Osiris or Aquila to break it. Once broken, all weapons damage the witch so switch if needed.

After the fight, Angel Lift twice and then Demon Pull to reveal another Angel Lift and then continue to Angel Lift and Angel Boost until you reach the floating relic. Once again Dante will enter a dream, but this time a simple Angel Boost and Angel Lift will release the demon and grant Dante the ability to use Devil Trigger. Use it now and take out the enemies.

When the Shielded Bathos appear, Demon Pull their shields off and kill them quickly so you can focus on the Death Knights. Finally, with Witch and Harpy combo can be deadly. Don't be afraid to Devil Trigger and take out the Witch first.

The Gold Door - Subsistence is located out in the open of this room, but you may not have a spare key right now. Return to the area where you entered to hear the cries of the Lost Soul #49, which can be gotten by jumping out and Angel Boosting back onto the walkway on the other side of the stone wall. Now Angel Lift to the end of the level.

The Butcher is the only real fight here and it is immune to ranged attacks. Use Rebellion and Eryx on the globe at the monsters belly while avoiding his saw attacks and when the globe breaks get back, as the monster self destructs and causes massive damage to anything in range.

Angel Lift up the platforms and use Aquila to tear the angelic vines to shreds and continue inside. Use Eryx to break the wall to reach a Divinity Statue and then break the flooring to proceed. Using Aquila, tear through both sets of angelic vines and grab the Small Vital Star in the far room. Drop into the room below and find the small room with the Lost Soul #50.

The first thing you want to do is take out the flying enemies by jumping and Demon Pulling them to you. Keep moving around to avoid enemy attacks from below you and then kill them last. When the Ravagers show, Angel Lift to a Pathos to get away from them as you kill them by Demon Pulling their shields and striking. You can then focus on the Ravagers. Note that Aquila can distract a Ravager for a decent amount of time while you launch and kill the other.

The following area is a maze, so follow these instructions to get everything (see here for the Quick Version):

• Right
• Right to a dead end where the Lost Soul #52 is and a Ravager attacks
• Backtrack and take the required Left
• Follow the path straight until you get blocked and turn right to two Arbiter doors and break either to find the Lost Soul #53
• Break the Eryx door and follow it to the Lost Soul #54 and the Copper Door - The Power Within
• Backtrack to the entrance

Dreamrunners are just plain annoying. Arbiter will knock it off guard enough to get in some hits, but launching it is the best way to get damage in. Despite a desire to stay in the air though, back off after a few hits before the Dreamrunner knocks you down himself. Devil Trigger is great for these, but it is possible to finish them off without it. Note that they are always vulnerable to attack after attacking from a teleportation.

Run into the next room to finish the mission.

Mission 12: Under Siege

There are no collectibles in this mission, so feel free to play through on your own if you wish, but I will still cover it.

It's time for Dante to be the ghost as he helps Kat make her way to Vergil. As Kat paints the circles on the columns, Demon Pull them down to protect Kat from the SWAT team and then pull down the wall to create an escape for her. For the first part of this mission that is all you will be doing, following Kat and using Demon Pull to create a path for Kat or protect her. When you reach Vergil's chamber the real fun begins.

Vergil will be under attack and since he seems busy doing something else it is time to protect him.

The first battle that should pose any issue is the Ravager and Stygian fight. After the initial attack by the Ravagers, use Aquila to pull the enemies together and get in some individual attacks. Anytime the Stygian get too scattered pull them together, but focus your attacks on the Ravagers.
The Ravager and Butcher fight is actually easier than you would think, mostly because the Butcher's ranged attacks will do a significant amount of damage to them. Move around and get a few hits and the closest Ravager, but make sure you can see the Butcher to anticipate his attacks. Once the Ravagers are dead you can take out the Butcher easily. Another method would be to take out the Butcher first and hope the suicide blast does some damage to the Ravagers.
The final Rage Spawns are similar to Stygian and can be killed with the Aquila.

As Vergil and Kat work on the servers, Dante will be forced to stay outside the spell and protect them from the oncoming hoard. Eventually he will be attacked by Demonic Shards that are too strong, so Vergil bestows you with the Revenant.

The only thing about this fight that is annoying the the floor. The bright lights and vibrant color can hide attacks from enemies like the Witch and Hell Knight, due to their red color. Keep you eyes open and be prepared to dodge an attack you couldn't see coming.

After the fight, the club will change and you'll have to make your way to Lilith the long way. Turn around and climb up the wall to reach the front of the club and the Lost Soul #58. If you face away from the wall and look left you should see an Angel Lift that can be boosted to and leads to the Ivory Door - Shenanigans. On the other side of the room is another Angel Lift, this one leading to the [[Gold Key #3]].

Return to the main walkway now and approach the ramp next to the Divinity Statue and you should hear the cries of the Lost Soul #57 calling from behind the ramp. Head up the ramp and use Eryx to press the large play button and continue. The bridge created consists of red and blue squares, with each causing damage if you aren't holding the correct trigger, so you better start practicing.

Take the right path first, which leads to a platform with the Lost Soul #59 and then backtrack and go left. When you reach the next solid platform a fight utilizing the switch between the triggers will occur.

This fight is a pain if you don't have the triggers down. Feel free to Devil Trigger if you want, but we warned it does not stop the blocks from changing between Devil and Angel.

When you press the play button the world will change around Dante. Look behind you for the Lost Soul #60 and then move forward for another quick fight.

If you have it, use Devil Trigger to finish the Dreamrunner. If not, slowly take it out by getting in a few hits after it teleports out and missed you.

Head up the long hall and when you reach the top drop off to the right for the Argent Door - Hasty Acquisition. From the Divinity Statue, turn around and look at the floating platform in the distance to spot an Angel Lift. Use the Angel Lift, and those that follow, to reach a Small Vital Star and the Lost Soul #62. Drop to the Divinity statue and continue to the next platform with a Play button and the Lost Soul #63.

Hit the play button and take either path back to the club and another fight.

Like Frost and Hell Knights, these babies are only weak to their own weapon type. Individually they do not pose much of a threat, but when in the same room together they can pose a lot of issues. Start by using Aquila to distract the Ghost Rage and then work on the Blood Rage. Keep this up until one or the other dies, but be careful as they are linked and the last one will frenzy.

Don't get too caught up in your damage output and make sure to pause once in a while to avoid the attacks. It is more important to not die than it is to get off the best combo in the world.

Mission 15: The Trade

After the cutscene with a very fucked up Vergil, dude is fucking crazy, you have to help Kat and Vergil escape.

You will likely want to play this level twice: once for items and once for the rating. During the slow-mo, Angel Lift to the back of the car and then jump to the container nearby on the right to Demon Pull the cart out of the way. As the car continues to almost crash into more containers, Angel Lift to the back of the car and then jump onto the pile of containers. With Eryx, jump and use Stomp multiple times to break the chains allow the car to safely fly over.

Instead of following the car, turn left and Angel Boost to the container yard and swing a right to find the [[Copper Key #9]] by the water. You will likely have to restart the section to continue. As the shipyard begins to fall into the water, using the Angel Lift's to follow the car to a cutscene.

There are enemies here, but you can completely ignore them unless you want an SSS rank on the level. To save the car from the ships spinning blades, Angel Boost across the gap and Demon Pull the propeller off and trigger another cutscene.

After the cutscene, Dante will be doing some truck surfing. As the truck crashes, look to the right and Angel Lift and Angel Boost to another cutscene. As the car is about to hit an oncoming train, look right and Angel Boost to the angelic vines nearby to get the Small Devil Trigger Star behind them. Head back to the island now and Demon Pull the bus into place.

Jump on the bus and then Angel Boost to the area on your left and climb the crates outside the building on the left and turn around to spot the [[Copper Key #10]] across the way. You can then enter the building and kill the enemies before using Eryx on the support and end the level.

.

Mission 16 - The Plan

The first section of this mission is all traversal and Angel Lift/Boosting. Since it is fast paced and hard to explain, I will simply say that it is best to simply run between the Angel Lifts, since the ground may fall right where you are going to land if you jump or boost when not needed. When you land you will have a fight on your hands.

	Wave 1	Wave 2	Wave 3

Enhanced Difficulties	Elite Stygian x2, Frost Knight x3, Witch	Stygian x2, Frost Knight	Dreamrunner x2
Dante Must Die!	Elite Stygian x4, Frost Knight, Witch	Stygian x3, Hell Knight	Dreamrunner x2, Witch
The Witch will not appear straight away, so focus on the Elite Stygian until she appears. Once she does, use the Aquila to break her barrier and cause he to be stunned. You can focus on the finishing the Elite Stygian while she is unconscious and then finish her off at the end.
The second wave appears as you only have 30 seconds to enter the building. Start by attacking the easy targets to farm some points, but run for the entrance when time gets low.
The Dreamrunner is back for a real fight this time. Back up to force him to teleport and then use three Rebellion strikes followed by two Arbiter strikes and then an Arbiter launch to take him out quickly. If you want to be cautious, make him teleport over and over again to let you slowly dwindle his health away.

Head to the Divinity Statue and turn left toward the elevator, but break the door with Arbiter first to get the Lost Soul #64 before you board the elevator. You are dropped on the 86th floor and follow Kat's directions to a quick fight with two Elite Stygian and a Ravager. After the fight enter the doorway nearby to enter the skybridge. After Vergil shuts down the lasers, continue to the east wing and a fight.

Normal Difficulties	Shielded Pathos x2, Dreamrunner	-
Enhanced Difficulties	Elite Stygian x4, Hell Knight x3	Stygian x4, Dreamrunner x2

After the fight, Air Lift upstairs and head right to a quick fight, which you should know how to beat now. After the fight, check the side room blocks by an Eryx crystal wall and the other blocked with black blocks floating up (wait for the opening) and then head to the elevator that leads to the 105th floor.

Exit the elevator and turn right to find another area with the flying black blocks and wait for the opening to jump across and get the Lost Soul #65, Lost Soul #66, and the [[Gold Key #3]]. Head to the other side of the building for another fight.

Continue down a hallway carefully and kill two Demonic Shards. Further on is two Ghost Rages that should pose no problem if you use Aquila to stun one constantly as you use Osiris to take out the other. After the fight, jump up on the structure nearby and Angel Lift to the next floor.

As you continue, be careful of the crushing wall and then enter the next room with holes in the floor. Make your way around the area, taking out the three Elite Stygian that attack and look for a small alley with two long holes and a small platform inbetween that leads to the stairwell. Taking the stairs up will lead you to the Lost Soul #67 and taking them all the way down will lead them to the Gold Door - Extreme Traversal.

When you are ready, use the Angel Lifts to get across the gap and then drop to floor 105 and fight the Lesser Stygian before getting the Small Devil Trigger Star on the conference table. Nearby you should see some angelic vines block the Lost Soul #68. Return to the main area and approach the closed elevator, which will open, and gather up the Lost Soul #69 and Lost Soul #70 inside. Now return to the upper level by using Angel Lift near the first of the three Lost Souls.

After the quick cutscene, wait for an opening in the laser beams to jump and Angel Boost through. The first two sets are straight forward, but the third set requires you to let yourself fall slightly before using Angel Boost. If you manage to make it through without getting hit be all 5 sets of lasers you will earn the trophy/achievement Now my coat's all charred. If you get hit, you can restart from the last checkpoint to earn this.

After the first three sets of lasers, you will encounter a fight with two Stygian and a Dreamrunner. The best strategy is to stay in the middle of the bridge and away from the lasers. Use Aquila on the Stygian and finish them before dealing with the Dreamrunner.

Upon exiting the skybridge, turn left and get the Lost Soul #71 and then follow the other path to Vergil where you will get the weapon Kablooey. Upon exiting the elevator on the 154th floor, turn left and follow it all the way to the end and get the Lost Soul #72 before entering the skybridge.

Cross the breaking bridge and then check the room protected by angelic vines. Make sure to check the whole floor and open the Copper Door - Bait and Switch before hopping on the elevator. When you reach the top you'll have a fight on your hands.

Enhanced Difficulties	Harpy x3, Tyrant x2	Ghost Rage, Blood Rage	Hell Knight x3, Witch

After the fight, you'll have to run across the rotating debris. Angel Boost across the first two platforms and when it looks like there is nowhere to go, Angel Lift to a high walkway and then again to finish the level.

.

Mission 17 - Furnace of Souls

The Furnace of Souls is a dangerous place with a constant threat of an upwards inferno burning you to death as you jump across gaps. Start by timing your jump across the gap and heading right. After a few platforms you should encounter a Frost Knight and Hell Knight that you should have no problems dispatching them.

Instead of heading for the obvious path, look left and you should see an Angel Lift and Demon Pull. Start by Angel Boosting across the gap and then quick Demon Pull and Angel Lift to the ledge. Release the Lost Soul #73 and then use the small floating platforms off to the left to continue. Back on the path, check the back side of the current platform for the Lost Soul #74 and then use Angel Lift to reach a higher, larger, platform and prepare for a fight.

Enhanced Difficulties	Rage Spawn x6, Rage	Ghost Rage, Blood Rage	Butcher x2	-

Before leaving the island, find the Lost Soul #75 hanging around on the other side of the arena. When you are ready, Angel Boost to the floating platform and use Demon Pull to advance. When you land on the long island, after using Demon Pull to uncover the Angel Lift, turn right and Angel Lift to another isolated island with the [[Ivory Key #1]] behind some angelic vines. Now turn around and go back the way you came, but head straight.

Normal Difficulties	Hell Knight, Ravager
Enhanced Difficulties	Hell Knight, Ravager
Dante Must Die!	Hell Knight x2, Ravager

The next section is dangerous if you are going for the trophy/achievement for not getting burned, as it is long. You will need to Angel Lift, Demon Pull, Angel Lift, Demon Pull and then land before you are set on fire.

When you land you will have to fight two Stygian and then you can release the Lost Soul #76 on the nearby wall. Instead of continuing on the path, look to the right for a Demon Pull and follow the path to the Gold Door - A Day in Hell. Return via the Angel Lifts and head right to continue. Continue left via and Angel Lift and Boost and then look behind you to spot a Large Devil Trigger Star. Return to the previous island, Angel Lift up to the next level, Aquila the angelic vines, and Demon Pull your way into the large arena.

Enhanced Difficulties	Tyrant x3	Stygian x8	Witch, Dreamrunner	-
Dante Must Die!	Stygian x5, Ghost Rage	Witch Butcher	Stygian x6, Blood Rage	Witch, Dreamrunner
The roughest combinations are those with the Dreamrunner. In the battle with the Tyrant, use Devil Trigger to deplete most of the Dreamrunner's health and then finish it off; you can then focus on the Tyrant. In the battle with the Witch, use Round Trip to break the Witch's shield and keep her occupied and away from casting spells. Focus on finishing the Witch before you turn any attacks on the Dreamrunner, but make sure to keep and eye on him to avoid being hurt too much.

Use the Angel Lifts to get to an island with the Lost Soul #77 and then continue to leave the mission. If you managed to take no damage from the Furnace of Souls you will earn the Every hero has a weakness.

Mission 18 - Demon's Den

Really Vergil, REALLY! Anyways, there are four tunnels that you will need to explore to complete this short round, so let's get going.

.

---

Tunnel 1: Bottom Left

---

Follow the tunnel to the end and look right BEFORE dropping down. The Lost Soul #78 is on a high ledge that can be reached with an Angel Boost. Once you release the Lost Soul, drop to the tunnel below and kickstart the generator with Demon Pull. Of course, this will start a fight.

Normal Difficulties	Ghost Rage, Blood Rage
Enhanced Difficulties	Ghost Rage, Blood Rage, Rage Spawn x4
Dante Must Die!	Ghost Rage, Blood Rage, Rage Spawn x6

.

---

Tunnel 2: Clockwise from above

---

Follow the tunnel and then move down the right side of the ledge to spot the Lost Soul #79 in the distance. Angel Boost to it and then the ledge across on the left to reach the generator and another fight.

Normal Difficulties	Shielded Bathos x2, Stygian x2, Dreamrunner
Enhanced Difficulties	Shielded Pathos x3, Hell Knight, Dreamrunner
Dante Must Die!	Dreamrunner x2

Exit the generator room and head right to pass the Argent Door - Colossal Triumph and return to the main hall, shooting the Demonic Shards on the way.

.

---

Tunnel 3: Right of the entrance

---

Make your way to the generator and look up to spot the Lost Soul #80 that can be jumped up to. Now, start the generator with another Demon Pull and trigger another fight.

Normal Difficulties	Shielded Bathos x2, Stygian x2, Witch
Enhanced Difficulties	Shielded Bathos x2, Stygian x4, Witch
Dante Must Die!	Elite Stygian x3, Harpy x2, Witch

Make your way back to the main hall killing 3 Demonic Shards.

.

---

Tunnel 4: Counter-clockwise

---

Head inside and when you reach the gap look down and to the left to spot another tunnel. Drop and follow the new tunnel to two Demonic Shards and the [[Argent Key #6]] and then drop down to the generator room. Start the engine and deal with the final fight.

Normal Difficulties	Lesser Stygian x6, Butcher
Enhanced Difficulties	Stygian x4, Harpy x2, Butcher
Dante Must Die!	Elite Stygian x3, Ravager, Butcher

Make your way back to the vault chamber, killing all Demonic Shards on the way. When you reach the main chamber you will have to solve the vault puzzle. Solving the puzzle is easy to do, simply line up the symbols with the statue.

.

Mission 19 - Face of the Demon

After the long cutscene, use Angel Lift and Angel Boost to get to solid ground while Vergil attacks Mundus. When the eye is exposed, use Angel Lift and Angel Boost to reach the eye and Demon Pull it out. After another length cutscene, Vergil and Dante will be inside a skyscraper with a Demon Pull icon nearby. Make your way through the building, using abilities as needed, until another cutscene. When you have control, Angel Lift back to solid ground and the real battle will begin.
