Navigate Devil May Cry 5's Mission 16, "The High Path," with our detailed walkthrough. Learn how to defeat Behemoths, find Blue Orb Fragments, and uncover secret paths.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Start by switching to Trickster and using breakaway platforms to cross the initial chasm.
  2. 2
    Follow the tunnel to another large hole with breakaway platforms; collect Red Orbs on the way down.
  3. 3
    At the bottom, drop through the hole to fight two Behemoths. Focus on defeating one before the other arrives, or use Sin Devil Trigger (DT) if necessary.
  4. 4
    After the fight, continue down another large hole. Find a large Red Orbs Cluster in an alcove halfway down.
  5. 5
    At the bottom, a Blue Orb Fragment is located across from you. Use the Stinger sword move at the edge, followed by a double jump and Trickster dash, to reach it.
  6. 6
    Alternatively, at the first split, fall down the giant hole instead of crossing. Collect Red Orbs on the descent.
  7. 7
    At the bottom, battle two Chaos and one Fury. Prioritize eliminating the Chaos first, then focus on the Fury, using Royalguard if comfortable.
  8. 8
    After the fight, drop down two platforms. Look for an opening on one side with a large Red Orbs Cluster (this requires the Highside skill for Cavaliere).
  9. 9
    On the opposite side of where you landed, find a small ledge with a Purple Orb Fragment. Grab it.
  10. 10
    Leap to the adjacent platform, switch to Cavaliere, double jump towards the previous platform, and use Highside (hold R1/RB, then back and Triangle/Y) twice. Then, use a Trickster dash to land on the higher platform.
  11. 11
    Repeat the Highside maneuver one more time to reach a ledge that leads to the Secret Mission.
  12. 12
    To access the Red Orbs Cluster mentioned earlier, use Stinger to boost a long jump to get over there. Behind it is an opening.
  13. 13
    From the ledge connected to the Red Orbs Cluster, find the highest ledge underneath you and jump to it. Then, jump to the next adjacent ledge. An alcove here contains the entrance to the Secret Mission.

Secret Mission 12:

  1. The objective is to collect at least 800 Red Orbs within 90 seconds, with only one Empusa present.
  2. Lure the Empusa into one of the small blood puddles on the ground to transform it into a Red Empusa.
  3. Switch to the Faust ranged weapon and the Gunslinger style.
  4. Use the Gunslinger style's action (Circle/B) to perform Mad Hatter multiple times to defeat the Red Empusa.
  5. Completing this mission rewards a Blue Orb Fragment and potentially the "Secrets Exposed" trophy/achievement for clearing all Secret Missions.
  6. After the Secret Mission, continue descending through another giant hole with platforms. Hellbats will appear; run past them as they are not necessary to defeat.
  7. The two split paths will merge in the next section. Continue dropping down the next giant hole.
Tips
  • Upgrade your Devil Trigger Gauge to max before attempting the Secret Mission.
  • If you fall in the area with the Purple Orb Fragment, the Cavaliere can be used to gain height and return to the platforms.
The Stinger move can be used to gain extra distance for jumps.The Faust weapon and Gunslinger style's Mad Hatter skill are crucial for Secret Mission 12.Focus on dodging and evasion when dealing with Hellbats in the later section.The "Secrets Exposed" trophy/achievement is unlocked by completing all Secret Missions.
