Get all the bonus art content
Devil May Cry 3 unfolds an earlier chapter in Dante's history, before the original Devil May Cry, to the fateful clash between Sparda's twin sons, divided by the divergence of their chosen paths. Along the way, Dante encounters formidable foes and unusual characters including a mysterious man named Arkham and a female hunter named Lady whose mission is to take down all demons, including Dante. These precursory events disclose the complex roots of Dante's character and reveal insight into his clouded past. Devil May Cry 3 preserves the fast-paced action that has made the series so popular. In addition to its strong roots, the game increases the intensity of gameplay with a new "style" system, which adds an additional level of depth. Depending on preference, players can choose to use short-range, long-range, defensive or evasive play styles. Each system has its own range of gameplay features and players can choose to power up their favorite style for increased special attack abilities. The range of options available in Devil May Cry 3 immerses players in a non-stop, thrilling escapade.UnlockablesGallery Unlockables Complete the following tasks to unlock Gallery items (please note that SS rank is obtained by achieving an S rank in each of the 5 categories - Time, Orbs, Stylish Points, Damage, and Items Used - for any given level):Clear Bonus Art #1 - Complete the game on Easy Clear Bonus Art #10 - Obtain an S rank on every mission in Dante Must Die!

Devil May Cry 2 Hints X (PS2)

Defeat Arius-Argosax

Devil May Cry 2 is a videogame developed by Capcom Production Studios 1 and published by Capcom Ltd. It was launched exclusively for the PlayStation 2 console from Sony, as was the first game in the series. The title was released in January 2003. 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 2 is the second game in the multi million dollar selling series and continues to make use of elements considered central to the releases. The main character of the game is again Dante, a seemingly normal guy who possesses a lot of demonic strength hidden deep within him. After the adventures of the first game, Dante is even better equipped to handle all kinds of supernatural threats, though he mainly focuses on demons. He is still the perfect anti hero, with his demonic heritage being quite at odds with his human existence. Dante still has his huge sword and his signature twin pistols, Ebony and Ivory, but since the first game, he has picked up quite a few nice tricks. He can now run on walls, kick while being in the air and shoot in different directions at the same time. You have also received a side kick, the beautiful Lucia, who is as skilled as Dante when it comes to combat, although she prefers knives to fire weapons. The level of violence in the game is high and this, coupled with the quick paced action sequences, made it a best seller and the series continued to thrive with the biggest addition being Devil May Cry 4, launched in 2008. GAMEPLAY HINTS Defeating Arius-Argosax You will need the Arsenal Throwing Daggers upgraded to level 2 or 3, the Swords Embaka upgraded to at least level 2 or 3, and all of the Amulets. The best Amulet to use as Lucia is the Electro Heart, the Quick Heart (to move very fast), and the Healing Amulet (heals while in Devil Trigger mode). While fighting him, jump in the air and rapidly press Square. Keep doing this to raise your Devil Trigger gauge to full power. Attack him rapidly with the Arsenal Throwing Daggers. When he is defeated, an intermission sequence will start. You can only defeat Arius-Argosax with Lucia. You need to use the throwing daggers at level 2 and any swords. The best amulet to use is the Healing Heart. All that Arius-Argosax can do you is spit purple things. If you get hit by it, you will get poisoned for a while. You will know if you are poisoned because you will turn purple. Throw the daggers at all times at Arius-Argosax. When your Devil Trigger gauge gets full, activate it. Here's a video:
