On level 14 at the end when Vergil falls down the hole on that hole the hole has a crack in in shaped as a no.14, look for more on other cutscenes!

DEVIL MAY CRY 3 HINTS

PS2 | Submitted by Demoneater1199

Easy Demon Blood

Mission 9

In mission 9, go to the secret mission in the tunnel before you find the demon star. Beat this secret mission (i find it's easiest to have your shotgun andangi and rudra equipped). You get a blue orb piece (first time beating it) Then once you've beaten 1 time you just keep playing and playing until you have as much demon blood as you want. You make approximately 1750 demon blood everytime you do this, so it's pretty fast, and it only takes 20 seconds total.

Beating Cerberus

End of mission 3

In order to inflict damage on Cerberus you first have to break the ice on his heads with your hand guns. Then use Rebellion and attack his paws until he collapses. Then use your strongest combos to do as much damage as possible until he gets up again then repeat this procedure until he dies.

How To Beat Cerberus

At entering the tower, you will face the 3headed dog Cerberus. It is very powerful but the strategy is simple, you just have to use dodge almost all the time to avoid his tackle. Attack him with Ebony & Ivory (fire arms) and keep ur distance, when he makes his charge attack use Rebellion (your sword) this will give more damage. When he starts throwing ice balls, you can either dodge them or hit them, if you hit them you can get extra orbs.

PS2 | Submitted by The_Evil_Craigus

Devil Arms And Where To Get Them

Cerberus- Defeat Cerberus at the end of mission 3.

Agni&Rudra- Defeat Agni and Rudra at the end of mission 5.
