Master Devil May Cry 5 with our comprehensive Trophy and Achievement Guide. Learn how to unlock every achievement, including difficult S-Rank challenges and difficulty-specific goals.
This is the platinum trophy for DMC5 and it’s definitely a difficult one. While most of the trophies aren’t too bad, there are a few that will make it extremely hard on you. Completing all missions with S Rank on all difficulties, except for Heaven or Hell, is what will likely be deal breaker for a lot of people. The reason for this is that Hell and Hell mode basically means you can’t get hit at all, as you die in one hit, while enemies have the same health as on Son of Sparda. To add onto this, Dante Must Die is definitely a very challenging difficulty in this game, requiring some skills on your end, even moreso to S Rank all missions.

Difficulty-Related Trophies/Achievements
None of the difficulty trophies/achievements stack in this game, so you will need to play through the main story at least six times. Considering not all of the difficulties are unlocked from the beginning, you can make it a little easier on yourself by defeating the boss at the end of the Prologue, as that triggers a different ending than going through all of the missions. So, it isn’t so bad unlocking all of the difficulties in this manner, but you will still want to play through all of them to farm Red Orbs and have a greater understanding of the game. Plus, you have to S Rank all missions on every difficulty (save for Heaven or Hell) to get the Worthy of Legend trophy/achievement.

Protect the People
You will need to defeat all of the enemies during Mission 01, with the majority of them being in plain sight as you make your way through the level. The only real “hidden” enemy will be the Red Empusa that is introduced in the cutscene. After dropping off of the broken bridge, look behind you to find the Red Empusa, so quickly kill it before it has a chance to escape. Also, make sure you use the lock-on to find all of the tentacles as you make your way to the boss.

Where the Red Orbs Grow
After your first encounter with enemies in Mission 02, you will notice that the street splits up into two different paths. Head down the right side and defeat the single Empusa there, then stop. You should be able to see a little ledge on the right side, so jump up on it, then pass through the hole in the building to find two Red Orb clusters. Destroy the one on the ground to earn this trophy/achievement.

Collected Red Orbs from an unexpected spot in Mission 02.

Backroad
During Mission 04, you will appear on the streets and there will be a tall building with a large mural on it. This is the same point where you will receive a tutorial about beefing up Shadow and Griffon by using some of your Devil Trigger gauge. Instead of doing that, use the DT gauge to call in Nightmare with the L1/LB button. He will bust through the wall of that building, earning you this trophy/achievement.

Break a Leg
In Mission 05, there will be times when you find a giant leg drop down through the ceiling, mostly when fighting other enemies. These legs can attack you and have a health bar, but they’re generally just there as a distraction. However, you can attack this leg and should you deplete its health, then it will go away. Of course, it will eventually go away on its own, so if you leave it alone, you will miss the chance to get this trophy/achievement.

Share the Pain
At the beginning of Mission 07, you will have the option to play as either V or Nero. Pick one and play through the mission, then replay it as the other character to get this trophy/achievement.
Share the Pain

Eagle-Eyed
During Mission 09, after your introduction to the Behemoth, you will get into another battle with some Riots. Find the dead end following that battle and you should notice that something is shining behind the pile of debris. Make sure you have at least three bars on the Devil Trigger gauge and summon Nightmare by the wall to have him bust it down, earning you this trophy/achievement.

Don’t Mess with the Best
When you’re fighting the boss in Mission 11, you might sometimes clash swords with him with your own. This will earn you the trophy/achievement, but timing it normally might prove to be a bit difficult. To make things a little bit easier, you can switch to Swordmaster style and use its action (Circle/B) to spin your sword. Note this only works with the Rebellion or Sparda swords, as the third sword you receive has that move integrated into its normal combos.
