Devil May Cry (PS2)

Round Trip
This isn't really a code, but it's useful. To use Alastar's Round Trip attack, hold R1 to aim, then hold O for about three seconds. Then let fly! Remember: you have to buy the skill from the statue first. You can also find out how to use this technique by looking it up in your "Action" menu. (If you've already bought it, that is)

Orbs -R- Us
A way to get unlimited orbs is to defeat all objectives in any level, but don't finish the level. Save your game to your memory card (before finishing the level), go to the option menu and reset your game. Then load the saved game and you will start the level over with the orbs you collected. Do it as many times as you like. The only catch is it will lower your grade once you complete the level.


Secret Level:
On level three just after killing the Phantom, collect the Pride of the Lion, but do not exit the level. Instead go back through the door to the broken bridge and fall into the water. Thus you will find the first of the 12 secret missions.


Hidden Combos:
There are little moves that you are not told about in the manual. For instance, if you get the stinger attack for Alastor, you can also do an amazingly long jump. Simply go up to a ledge like the broken bridge level and perform a stinger move, instead of stabbing thin air he'll do a long jump. Not helpful there since you'll end up in the water but it is useful for getting the blue orb on the platform in mid air above the door there.

Another one is combos. If you tap X three times he'll do a normal combo, but if you vary the timing of each tap, say tap X twice then wait a little then tap X again, he'll either swipe twice then do a cool combo, or a cool little stabbing move. The more times you time the X while he's stabbing the more stabs he'll do.


Good Combo:
Press O twice then wait for 1-2 seconds then press it again. Dante should then do a combo of about 10 hits.


Hints:

While Devil May Cry may not be difficult for the avid gamer, the player often finds himself victim to very bad camera angles that very
much effect success when fighting bosses. Therefore the way that I found best to stay in the game is to get the upgrades while the fighting is easy.

Here are a few tips to aid you.

-You can save, reset and fight bosses over and over again as the save only save your stats and items. This is an easy way at the beginning of the
game to rack up on red orbs and upgrade early. You will want to do this because the bad camera angles will cause you to get hit where you probably
could have dodge had you seen what the enemy was doing. This is especially easy with fighting the phantom spider the second time in the hallway.
He gives you 500 orbs every time you kill him and he is very easy to kill. If you have not figured it out you can do several things to kill him. You can
run and wall jump all the way back to the wall thus avoiding his fireballs or you can use your demon transformation to air attack him with your thunder.
Either way, you simply kill him, save and reset until you get everything that you want.

-When taking the Lion's path across the bridge. It will break and you will fall in the water then fight underwater and teleport back up to the other side.
Go back to the other side either jumping onto the broken fragments of underwater and there will be a blue orb there.

-At the door on the outside of the room with the Lion's symbol there is a floating piece of bridge fragment over it with a blue orb. To get to it, you must
have Double Air Jump upgrade.

-After fighting the phantom spider the 1st time, save your game and at the beginning of the next level, you will start at the Judge of death door where
you met the phantom spider the 1st time. Reenter that room and you will be give a secret challenge to kill 100 baby spiders within the alotted time. If you
succeed, you will get another blue orb.

-After Killing the phantom spider the second time in the hallway and after succeeding in the 1st secret level spider baby challenge, go back to the room
near the picture with the strange aura. There will be another secret level challenge there where you have to kill 100 baby phantom spiders without any
weapons. Simply run around and stomp on all of them.

Hints:

-In level 3 and beyond when you fight the Phantom boss, the best trick to bet him is to use the Alastor attack Air Vortex(Aim for his head or the top of his back, this works best when
you confront him in the hallways), otherwise use a jump attack with Alastor.

-Fighting the Death versions of the Sins can be tough, a good tactic is to use the Alastor's Air Hike, the farther you fall the more damage you do. Just hold down R1 to stay targeted on them.
This will do alot more damage than any gun will do if you time it right.

-When fighting the last boss, a good tactic in normal mode is to buy 10 devil stars and a vitality star. In the first part of the battle use one then use devil trigger, watch the wicked dragon,
repeat. Once you are on the ground, use a devil star, trigger, and jump right in front of him, the lava will only do minor damage in devil trigger mode. Just constatly swing at him,
use another devil star once your meter drops to 1 rune. If you get low on health use a vitality star. I doubt this works in Hard mode or higher, but it works wonders in Normal.


S-Ranking requirements:
To get an "S" ranking on each mission you need complete the mission in x amount of time and y amount of Orbs collected. For example, for
Mission 2 to achieve the S-ranking you must complete the level under six minutes with 400 Orbs
