Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition

Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition is an action title first released in 2008 before trophy support was available. The game was revamped in 2015 for the PS4, as well as the Xbox One and PC, and included trophy support, as well as new characters, new cutscenes, and improvements to the gameplay and graphics. Like previous titles in the series, players must fight their way through each mission using a set of combos, while occasionally collecting items and solving puzzles.

After Dante murders the leader of a religious sect known as the Order of the Sword, one of its young members, a demon hunter named Nero, sets off to find and stop Dante. Nero soon learns however, that things are not as they appear, and is faced with the threat of a demonic army.

The original Devil May Cry 4 received positive reviews with an average score of 84%, praised for its stylistic graphics, smooth controls, level design, and was hailed by many critics as the best in the series at that time.

The 4-star difficulty is for both the time required in obtaining the Platinum, as well as the challenge. Players with experience in the Devil May Cry series, and/or have played the original Devil May Cry 4 on the PS3, may be able to bring this difficulty score down to a 3-star. There is a trophy for completing the story mode on each of the seven difficulty settings, and since these do not stack, you will need to play a minimum of seven playthroughs. Realistically however, you will probably need to do a fair bit of backtracking in order to acquire S-rank scores for each. In addition, you will need to clear the Bloody Palace mode five times, once with each character. Overall, the Platinum for this game requires skills, patience to overcome frustrations, and fair bit of time.

Expect over 100 hours of gameplay for the Platinum.

Since the difficulty-related trophies are not stackable, we recommend beginning with Human mode, the easiest setting. Rather than worrying about getting S-ranks on this playthrough, spend it getting used to the game itself and the controls. Also, focus on clearing all the secret missions for the Nothing Left Unsaid trophy, as well as finding all the blue orbs and skills, which are not necessary for any trophies but will make your life easier. By the end of this step, you should unlock the Easy Does It trophy for clearing Human mode, as well as both the Rookie Devil Hunter and Skilled Devil Hunter trophies for defeating 100 and 1,000 enemies respectively, and perhaps a few others naturally during this playthrough.

Next, it’s time for a playthrough on Devil Hunter mode. Here, there are more enemies which have more health and can do extra damage. If you’ve collected all the blue orbs in the previous set, then you should have much more health, which makes this run a little easier. During this playthrough, you’ll also want to focus on getting an S-rank for each mission. Getting S-rank involves obtaining a high amount of style points, finding the hidden red orbs, completing the mission within a certain time frame, and avoid dying which can penalize your score. By the end of this playthrough, you should unlock the Done And Done trophy for clearing this mode, as well as A Cut Above for clearing all missions with an S-rank. In addition, if you play with Lady and Trish, you can also unlock the Deadly Pair trophy.

After, you will need to redo the previous step three more times, on different modes. This means clearing the Son of Sparda mode with S-rank, the Dante Must Die mode with S-rank, and Legendary Dark Knight mode with S-rank.

Once all that is done, there is still the Heaven or Hell mode to clear. In this mode, all enemies, and yourself, will die with one hit. Luckily, this one does not require S-rank, so simply play through to the end and unlock the Step Into The Light trophy.

Finally, there is the Hell and Hell mode to clear. Here, you can still die by one hit, but the enemies can take some damage. Again, you do not need to worry about S-rank on this mode. Clearing this will not only unlock the Tonight We Dine In Hell trophy, but also A Throne Of Glory trophy for clearing all the game modes. Also, if you choose to play as Vergil, you can also unlock the Devil In A Blue Coat trophy.

Next, it’s time to mop up any remaining trophies not related to the Bloody Palace. This means, getting S-rank on Human mode if not yet done, as well as getting SSS-rank for each of the boss battles on Son of Sparda mode. Be sure to check out the Devil May Cry 4 trophy guide links under our Links tab for help with anything you’re missing.

The final step is the most difficult, which involves clearing the Bloody Palace. This is a survival mode with 101 stages that include both regular enemies and bosses. You will need to clear the Bloody Palace with each of the five characters for their respective trophies, as well as to unlock the House Of Pain trophy. You will also need to get S-rank on all stages during one of these playthroughs for the King Of The Palace trophy. Using the Super Costumes will help you greatly with this task. Unfortunately, neither Trish nor Lady have Super Costumes, which will make their run on Bloody Palace arguably the most difficult challenge on your road to the Platinum.

Once all that is finished, congratulations on unlocking a very respectable Platinum.

Devil May Cry 3 Trophy Guide

Devil May Cry 3 Trophy Guide. Difficulty: ***  An action hack-and-slash originally released on the PlayStation 2 in 2005. The Platinum is arguably easier than the original DMC, though more time consuming.

Devil May Cry 3 HD

Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening is an action hack-and-slash, first released on the PlayStation 2 in 2005, and was revamped in HD with trophy support as part of the Devil May Cry Collection in 2012, which also included the two prequels. The player fights numerous enemies in stylish combat using a variety of combos, with each mission granting a letter grade based on the player's performance.

Taking place before the events of the first Devil May Cry title, Dante has just set up his demon-hunting agency. During a dysfunctional relationship with his brother Virgil, he is challenged to fight his way up the Temen-ni-gru Tower and face his sibling, attempting to stop him from merging the human and demon worlds together.

Devil May Cry 3 received positive reviews, with an average score of 90%. It was praised for having returned to the style of the original DMC title, as well as its great storyline and added customization features.

Considered more difficult than the second game, but arguably as challenging as the first in the series. The boss battles are somewhat easier than the original DMC, but where the game makes up for challenge is time consumption, as you will probably need at least six or seven playthroughs for the platinum.

Overall, expect about 40 or more hours on this puppy.

If you're new to the Devil May Cry series and wish to start on Easy mode, this is possible by dying three times on Normal. Otherwise, to save time, we recommend just playing through on Normal from beginning to end. During this first of many playthroughs, try to complete all the Secret Missions along the way, and find all the Blue Orb Fragments, by using one of the collectible guides under our Links tab. Also, for The Path Less Traveled trophy, you will need to clear every mission in Yellow Orb mode. If you don't wish to do this on the more difficult modes later, nor do you wish to add another playthrough to your trophy hunting, you can do this on Normal and get it out of the way.

Once that's finished, you will need to play four more times. Yes, that's right. Once on Hard, then Very Hard, then Dante Must Die, and finally Heaven Or Hell mode, in order to earn each of the four respected trophies.

Finally, you will need to playthrough using Yellow Orbs as Virgil. The good news is, you can do this run on Easy mode. And after having finished the more difficult settings, this should feel like a cakewalk in comparison.

With all those playthroughs finished, there is the Bloody Palace mode to complete, which is a survival mode. This will unlock three more trophies: Blood Sweat And Tears, Blood Donor, and Bloody Hell.

Hopefully, you will have unlocked the Platinum at this point. If not, just use the Mission Select to mop-up anything you're missing.

Devil May Cry 2 Trophy Guide

Devil May Cry 2 Trophy Guide. Difficulty: **  An action hack-and-slash originally released on the PlayStation 2 in 2003. Though the Platinum requires several playthroughs, it is significantly shorter than the previous installment.

Devil May Cry 2 HD

Devil May Cry 2 is an action hack-and-slash, first released on the PlayStation 2 in 2003, and was revamped in HD with trophy support as part of the Devil May Cry Collection in 2012, which also included the prequel and sequel. The players fight numerous enemies in stylish combat using a variety of combos, with each mission granting a letter grade based on the player's performance.

Set in modern times, in the fictional city of Vie de Marlie, the demon hunter Dante has teamed up with Lucia in order to stop an international businessman named Arius from achieving world domination by bringing the demon Argosax into the world.

The original 2003 Devil May Cry 2 received very mixed reviews, with an average score of 65%, though was a commercial success. Some reviewers complained while others praised the more simplistic combat system, as well as boss battles which required less strategy. General criticism was towards Dante's character personality, which seemed changed from the prequel.

If you've managed the platinum on the prequel, then Devil May Cry 2 will feel like a breeze. Since each difficult mode needs to be individually unlocked, you'll need several playthroughs - though the game itself is not particularly long. A chapter select allows you to acquire the necessary S-ranks, and mop-up anything you missed.

Overall, expect around 20-30 hours, depending on your skills.

Before we begin, it should be noted that there are several cheats available, and they will NOT disable the trophies. These range from unlocking Trish, to a Mission Select, to unlocking the more difficult modes, which can then knock off a few, otherwise necessary, playthroughs. If this is something that interests you, then check out our Link tab for the cheats.

Otherwise, begin by playing and completing Normal mode with both Dante and Lucia's scenario, which will unlock Hard mode. Along the way, work on upgrading all weapons to Level 3 for the Like A Hot Knife Through Butter and To The Max trophies. Then, continue on with Dante's gun for the Arms Race trophy, and Lucia's sword for the Armed And Dangerous trophy. However, as you'll be performing several playthroughs, you don't need to do all this in one shot. You'll also want to work on completing the Secret Missions, and collecting all the Blue Orbs and Blue Orb fragments.

Once that's finished, you can start going through Hard mode. Again, you can use this opportunity to collect and complete anything you're still missing from your previous playthrough. With Hard mode complete, you will have unlocked Must Die mode - as well as the player character Trish. If you feel up to the task, you can playthrough Must Die mode using Trish now, in order to nab the Barehand Beauty trophy and save yourself an extra playthrough.

From this point on, it's simply a matter of any necessary grinding, and mopping-up any other trophies you're still missing. Check out the Devil May Cry 2 trophy guide links under our Links tab for specific details on anything you still need.

Devil May Cry Trophy Guide

Devil May Cry Trophy Guide. Difficulty: ***  An action hack-and-slash originally released on the PlayStation 2 in 2001. The Platinum is skill-based, with three full playthroughs required, one on its hardest difficulty mode.

Devil May Cry HD

Devil May Cry is an action hack-and-slash, first released on the PlayStation 2 in 2001, and was revamped in HD with trophy support as part of the Devil May Cry Collection in 2012, which also includes two sequels. The player fights numerous enemies in stylish combat using a variety of combos, with each mission granting a letter grade based on the player's performance.

Set in modern times, Dante is a demon hunter who, after losing his family to demons, has made revenge his business. After being visited by a mysterious woman named Trish in his office, Dante learns that the demon emperor Mundus, who was responsible for his mother and brother's death, is preparing to return. Dante must fight his way through a horde of enemies to face his nemesis and avenge his family.

The original 2001 Devil May Cry not only received high reception, with an average score of 94%, but became a phenomena inspiring sequels, as well as a manga and animated series. The look of Dante was the inspiration behind Leon S. Kennedy, a character in the Resident Evil series also by Capcom.

The difficulty of his game is purely based on skills, and the high 3-star rating is for anyone new to the DMC series. If you've played the original title on the PS2 and are quite familiar with all the controls and combos, then this difficulty rating could be brought down to a 2-star.

You'll need at least 3 full playthroughs, one of which is completing its hardest mode, plus all the secret missions. Other trophies involve maxing out your powers, a few collectibles in the form of guns, and getting some S-ranks.

Anyone who's played Devil May Cry on the original PS2 and already possess some skills may acquire the Platinum in over 20 hours. For beginners, this may take much longer.

For your first playthrough, we recommend starting on Normal mode, rather than Easy, to get a better feel for the game and prepare you for the coming, harder modes - not to mention there's no trophy for completing Easy. So, if you die three times in the first few missions and the game asks if you wish to downgrade to Easy, make sure you refuse the offer. Otherwise, you'll miss out on the Warming Up! trophy.

There are a number of missable trophies along the way, which might be easiest to collect now on Normal. Check out the Devil May Cry trophy guide links under our Links tab for specific details. Also, try to avoid using your items, such as Untouchables, Devil Stars and Holy Water, as you'll need them in the more difficult modes.

Next, rinse and repeat on Hard mode. You should start unlocking the accumulative trophies at this point, and maxing out your character - specificially Dante's health, to better prepare you for the next mode.

Finally, comes Dante Must Die. This is what truly gives this game a 3-star rating in difficulty, as getting through is far from being a cakewalk. If you're truly having difficulty, you may wish to consider replaying Normal mode again, in order to stock up on items, particularly Untouchables, which can make this mode easier.
