Devil May Cry Hints LIX (PS2)

Devil May Cry is a videogame developed by Capcom Production Studio 4 and published by Capcom Ltd. The game was released exclusively for the PlayStation 2 console from Sony and debuted in August 2001. It can be classed as an action title played from a third person perspective, incorporating some fighting, horror and sci fi elements in gameplay.

Devil May Cry is the first game in the multi million dollar selling series and establishes the elements that will become central to all the releases. It tells the story of Dante, a seemingly normal guy who possesses a lot of demonic strength hidden deep within him. As he begins to realize that no other than the Devil himself is gearing up to take over mankind, he must draw on the heritage of his blood to battle the demons and make himself a hero.

It helps that Dante has been investigating super natural occurrences for a living and that he is a superb fighter, equally skilled with a huge sword and with his signature twin pistols, Ebony and Ivory. As the game progresses and as the fights get tougher, Dante will begin to use even more powerful weapons, some of them channeling demonic energy themselves.

The level of violence in the game is high and this, coupled with the quick paced action sequences, made it a best seller on which Capcom capitalized by launching sequels, the most recent being Devil May Cry 4.

GAMEPLAY HINTS

Grenade launcher

The grenade launcher has a lot of recoil. To decrease this, once you shoot it, immediately press Triangle to jump or roll.

Nightmare-B

The Nightmare-B is a mysterious weapon that was produced in the Underworld. To obtain it, you must be on mission 16 and have Double Jump from Alastor. When you begin the level, go up on the platform, and exit out the only door. You will see blue torches on the ground lit. Find the one side of the level with arc openings. When facing with the back wall inside, turn left to enter the room (where blue shield was located) follow the path through, make it through the forcing spikes, and you will reach to a dead end with an object glowing at the end and deadly toxins on the bottom. Jump onto the only platform, then use Double Jump to get Nightmare.
