Devil May Cry 2 Unlockables

  • PS2 | Submitted by GamesRadar

    Unlock Dante's Extra Level and Outfit

    First Play Dante's mission 1, then save the game. Reset the PlayStation 2 and wait for the "Press Start button" message to re-appear. Now Press L3, R3, L1, R1, L2, R2, L3, R3. A sound will indicate correct code entry. To get the outfit pick load game and press L1 or R1. Just load a game to get the new level.


  • PS2 | Submitted by GamesRadar

    Hidden Unlockables

    Beat the game one normal mode, not easy automatic, and you will be able to change costumes with the characters you beat each scenario with. For Dante, you get A DIESEL outfit which includes jeans, a brown leather jacket and some accessories. Lucia gets tight jeans and another jacket. The alternate costumes are very cool, and worth playing through the whole game for.

    Another bonus is that if you beat the game with machine guns, rocket launcher, merciless and vendetta, etc. you can start anew game with all these weapons with their upgrades and all your previous orbs and life as when you beat the game.

Devil May Cry 2 Hints

  • PS2 | Submitted by GamesRadar

    Saving Devil Trigger

    Tired of wasting DT (Devil Trigger) while trying to get Show Time combos? Now your problem is solved!!! First turn on your DT and start one of your devilish tricks that drains your DT real fast. (ex. start a sword combo then after Dante or Lucia's 2nd swing pull back on the control stick.) Then after he/she charges and is about to release press your DT button and start hitting triangle to return to normal and they will perform the attack in normal mode and it will do the same amount of damage!!!


  • PS2 | Submitted by GamesRadar

    Vendetta Sword

    The vendetta sword is in level 9 (the one were you've got to get out of the factory that's about to blow up). When you jump down the elevator shaft ignore the flame things and go down the open track. It is split into 2 ways take the one on the right and over at the side is a door. Go in and on top of a pile of bones in a pedestal is the blade. It has quite a short range but is the most powerful sword you will ever get in the game.


  • PS2 | Submitted by GamesRadar

    Lots of Red Orbs

    On the level where you must escape the burning building before time runs out, as soon as you drop down the elevator shaft at the beginning, several homomsiras attack you, beat a few of these with your sword in order to get a "Show Time" rating, once you get that rating pull your pistols out, pistols should be at least level 2 or higher and start shooting, as long as you keep shooting and dont get hit, you will keep your Show Time rating( killing a bad guy with this rating releases more red orbs.)Each homomsira you kill like this releases about 160 red orbs, and an infinite supply of homomsiras appear. The timer on the level is 11 minutes, but don't worry about it, just keep killing those bad guys, because when time runs out the only thing that happens is you have to start the level over. Each time you do this correctly you should get about 20,000 red orbs
    and you can do it as many times as you like


  • PS2 | Submitted by GamesRadar

    Ultimate Moves

    There 2 ultimate moves in the game. This MUST be done while in devil state!

    Lucia(aerial heart required)- Fly into the air and press triangle+square. Press it fast enough to do it multiple times.

    Dante(go into Super morph aka Sparda)- Press triangle+square. This could be done while flying or on the ground.


  • PS2 | Submitted by GamesRadar

    ARIUS' SECRETARY

    Okay, in order to get Arius' secretary, beat Lucia's hardest mode, Lucia Must Die mode. If you don't already know how to get this, just beat the game with Lucia on hard mode, to get that beat the game on Lucia's disc on Normal Mode(you already start with this mode when you first play the game).


  • PS2 | Submitted by GamesRadar

    COSTUMES/BLOODY PALACE

    To get different costumes, just beat the game with either Lucia or Dante on Normal, Hard, or Must Die mode. You can also get a mode called Bloody Palace, this is kind of like a secret room, where you fight swarms of enemies and when(or if) you win, you get sometimes a blue orb fragment. But you always get a white orb, a green orb, and a bug red orb, and you also win the bounty of red orbs left by your slaughtered enemies.


  • PS2 | Submitted by GamesRadar

    TRISH

    Now, to get Trish from the first Devil May Cry game, beat the game on Dante's disc on Hard mode. You get Hard mode the same way you get it on Lucia's disc. Trish has all the same controls as Dante did on the first game, but the best part is...Trish can be played on both discs!


  • PS2 | Submitted by GamesRadar

    Easy Way to Beat Argosax the Chaos

    This win is quite easy. simply stand near the back so you can see the furiataurus' head and his tail. then just shoot away. you won't get hurt because he can't reach you with his tail and furiataurus head can't reach you either
    Get Bloody Palace #1 and #2


  • PS2 | Submitted by GamesRadar

    Easy 5000 Red Orbs

    This is really simple. First complete the game and unlock mission select mode then just keep going on the level where you fight Arius for the first time. This level is just too easy and even in Dante Must Die mode its not exactly impossible to do so all you do is defeat aris and you automatically gain 3000 red orbs from killing him each time and you lso get the ranking bonus which if you are relatively good at the game should be a constant B so if you do this you get 5000 red orbs fo just over 2 minutes of work. which can easily get you around 25000 within 10 minutes without any enemies you destroy while fighting him.


  • PS2 | Submitted by GamesRadar

    Sparda

    While in battle when your life gets in the red. Devil Trigger and instead of becoming your normal demon form.Dante will transform into Sparda. This is very effective against bosses and swarms of enemies, so dont use those vital stars, and turn into sparda.


  • PS2 | Submitted by GamesRadar

    Chrono Heart

    On mission 15, right before you strike the eye, find a cocoon on the ground. Keep your eye on the cocoon when you you strike the eye. Use stinger ( R1+UP+ triangle) to bash foes into the cocoon After 5 good hits it should show this super special heart.


  • PS2 | Submitted by dude

    Hint: Defeating the Boss with two wolves

    When you battle the Skull guy with the two wolves, to easily kill him, use Devil Trigger. Target the two wolves and shoot the electric attack out of Dante's hands. This will easily kill the wolves. Then just shoot and slash at the skull knight guy.
