Ran through heaven and hell (the easy one, not the impossible one) in a 2-3 hour run. Was really boring but at least I collected all the blue orb fragments outside of secret missions.
How the hell do you do secret mission 3? I watched that video where he holds the guy but I'm getting no combo meter at all when holding a puppet whose blocking frost attacks and when the two frosts are there and I grab one frost, he only stays in my hand for like 3 seconds before jumping out.
If you shoot the wall you get red orbs. Finally figured it out.

You know the one "serious" complaint I have with this game?
The fucking box art.
And the logo.
What blind graphic designer put that shit together, look at the fucking spine.

Taunting barely moves the meter up. Hell, even when I got to D rank by using shield it would drop out before the enemy attacked again.
I hate this mission. Especially because after every time I die in it I have to fight the stupid cloak guys at the start of the level again. If you die in a SM you really should just drop out to where you entered it.

I just started the game, beat the first boss dying 4 times.
At the end of the stage they tallied up my score and panelized me for Enemy handicapped. Somewhere else in this thread someone said after dying 3 ties whichever boss becomes easier. How do i stop this.???????????
In the past, they ASKED you do you want to make it easier.

I've heard you can do it as Dante by using the Royal Guard style to increase your style by guarding.

Do you see the ones your friend has in game or outside the game within the XMB?
Ok, questions about the Leaderboards.
Why is it that I can't find myself on the overall leaderboards for Devil Hunter? I beat the game, and I have an overall rank, but I'm NOT in the list with everybody else. (I scrolled to my name).
Also, when I go to check out my friends ranks in missions, some friends are not showing up, even though I got a little message saying they beat that level. For me, when I check my friends ranks from like mission 3-20, not one is listed.

That did the trick, thanks
Woo, beat DH mode, ranked 700-something overall (could be higher but I have 2 D ranks.) on to SoS!
All throughout the ending, I kept waiting for Nero's hand to flip out and start acting on its own. I know it wouldn't happen, but man, just look at that thing. :lol

The one with the huge drill that you have to slow down is fucking awful.
Hello Capcom, the 3D perspective can be very confusing in a game, so make the platforming a little more forgiving next time thx
:lol Yup, that's where I am. Just turned the game off in disgust. What a fucking travesty of design. It is a crying shame when a brilliant game is hobbled with one or two bonehead elements, and here's a perfect example.Mamesj said:That did the trick, thanks

What's really wretched is that it's not like this is a DMC staple. I just finished DMC3SE again last weekend, and there is nothing like this in that game. The worst is the mace puzzles, and even those aren't so bad.
This sucks. Every time I've turned the game off, it's because I hit a puzzle, and it just stopped being fun.
Wait till you hit the stage 19 dice setup.
If you didn't get lucky like I did it will be an exercise in frustration. Not only can it be a big pain, but the actual setting where the dice game is actually held is hilarious at best and absurd at worst.
Just finished the game. Good action. Story wasn't as good as I would want in a DMC game but this isn't what I play the game for. Can get disorienting at times figuring out where to go. Dante is awesome but his segment is way too short. Backtracking through previous areas again is a pretty lame game mechanic in 2008. Overall the action still kept me hooked and I'll play it again. 8/10 seems fair for this game. Before Heavenly Sword is mentioned yes I know the game is overrated.

but I am a sheep
so question for people that have beaten the game
ok so i beat it yesterday and at the end of the credits it has that picture of dante and nero sitting on the catch well what is that text on the bottom that is up for a second then dissapears. it says something about prequel (only word i saw)
Draft said:
it's annoying, but stick with it. one good fight after that (actually, there's a REALLY good boss fight on that level about 3 minutes after the drill
) and you'll have that mess behind you....until the next time you hit it with Dante. :lol but it's much easier with Trickster.Not a Jellyfish said:
naw, I completely missed that.

wait, what? What's RG, and is there somethng I don't know about the gunslinger style move for pandora? How do I shoot multiple missiles at once, like in the cutscene (or can you only shoot one or two at a time?)Darkpen said:
Full disaster gauge lets you fire two volleys of missles from Pandora in GS.

does anyone have tips for getting the blue fragment in mission 11/12?

Yes, you can replay a level and grind for proud souls. However, there aren't really any missions in the game that you can do to earn proud souls efficiently or at least, I haven't found any yet. So I would recommend waiting till you unlock the Bloody Palance to do your proud souls grinding. IIRC, I got about 2000 proud souls in only 15 minutes of fighting in the Bloody Palace.

Now this time, try to listen to me.
Since you beat the game on human (I don't know why, considering you're extensive experience with action games and devil may cry...) start your new game on Son of Sparda. Not Devil Hunter.
Devil Hunter will likely be easier than Human since you'll have your beefed up characters as you go through it.

I need to upgrade my shit. I just beat Dante the second time and I realized I still have the default health bar and devil trigger lamps.

The one good thing about the Proud Soul system is that you can free up your red orbs.
What are you spending them on?
Get some blue/purple orbs.
