Complete walkthrough for Devil May Cry 5's Main Mission 10, "Awaken." Learn enemy strategies, skill recommendations, and find all collectibles.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Begin the mission. Customize Dante if desired, but no skills can be purchased yet.
  2. 2
    Proceed forward to a large room where Trish fights Empusas. She will leave, and you must defeat the Empusas yourself. More Green Empusas will appear afterward.
  3. 3
    In the next open area, you'll learn about Dante's Devil Trigger (L1/LB). Activate it to boost stats and recover health. You need at least three bars to use it.
  4. 4
    Test Devil Trigger on Hell Cainas and a Pyrobat. More Hell Cainas and a Hell Antenora will spawn; practice weapon switching between Rebellion and Balrog.
  5. 5
    Continue past the orangish tunnel to find a Divinity Statue. Purchase skills: Speed, Trigger Heart, Stinger (Rebellion), Updraft (Balrog), Charge Shot (Ebony & Ivory), and Charge Shell (Coyote-A).
  6. 6
    Upgrade styles, prioritizing Swordmaster. Save for Air Hike (double jump) to improve mobility.
  7. 7
    Enter the next room to face a new enemy, the Chaos. Break its shell to make it easier to stun. Use Royalguard's timed block to counter its rolls. Defeat two Chaos enemies.
  8. 8
    Proceed through a spiked doorway. These close after a short time, so kill the two Death Scissors quickly to pass through and collect a large Red Orb Cluster. A ramp leads back up.
  9. 9
    Continue forward, dealing with Empusas at the bottom of a ramp and in an alcove. Defeat a Red Empusa.
  10. 10
    Enter another room with a spiked doorway. This one is important. Defeat two Riots, then two Hell Cainas and a Hell Antenora. Use Balrog gauntlets on the Antenora.
  11. 11
    Pass through the spiked doorway and follow the tunnel to a ledge overlooking the previous room. Look left to find another ledge with a Blue Orb Fragment.
  12. 12
    Drop down and follow the tunnel. Stop at a white orb. Look up and right from the tunnel to find a hidden tunnel entrance marked by Red Orbs.
  13. 13
    Enter the hidden tunnel to find a room with Empusas and a Red Empusa. Defeat them all to spawn an Empusa Queen. Defeat her to earn a Purple Orb Fragment.
  14. 14
    Return to the main tunnel and follow it to the end for another fight. The first wave consists of a Chaos and two Scudo Angelos.
