Need help with Secret Mission 12 in Devil May Cry 5? Learn the fastest way to collect 800 Red Orbs from a single Empusa within 90 seconds. Our guide covers strategy and tips.
Alright, so you've made it to Secret Mission 12 in Devil May Cry 5! This one's a bit of a head-scratcher at first, but stick with me and we'll get you through it. The main goal here is to snag 800 Red Orbs from a single Empusa, and you've only got 90 seconds to do it. Sounds wild, right? Don't worry, it's totally doable.
Walkthrough
- 1First things first, you'll need to get to the mission area. This happens during Main Mission 16. When you reach a point where you can go straight down a giant hole, take that path. Keep going all the way to the bottom. You'll have to fight some Chaos and a Fury, so take them down.
- 2After that fight, you'll see another giant hole. Be super careful here – don't just plummet to the bottom! Instead, aim for the first ledge you see below you.
- 3From that ledge, look for another one just below it. You should spot some Red Orbs on it, which is a good sign. Keep an eye out from this spot, and you'll see a large cluster of Red Orbs across from you. That's your target area.
- 4Head over to that cluster, and you'll find an opening behind it. Drop down into that opening to another ledge below. Look for one more ledge just under that one.
- 5This final ledge has a small alcove, and that's where you'll find the tell-tale red glow indicating the Secret Mission entrance. Interact with it to start!
Strategy:
- Okay, so the mission starts, and you've got your target: an Empusa. The trick is that this Empusa won't drop 800 Red Orbs on its own. You need to power it up! See those two small pools of blood scattered around the area? You need to lure the Empusa over to one of them. When it sucks up the blood, it'll transform into a Red Empusa. This is crucial for getting enough orbs.
- Once it's a Red Empusa, quickly switch to Dante's Faust weapon. You'll also want to be in the Gunslinger style.
- Now, for the attack: use Dante's basic hat-throwing move where he spins and throws his hat in a circle around him. It's important that you *don't* accidentally trigger the Hat Trick skill if you have it unlocked, as that's a different move. Just keep spamming that basic spinning hat attack.
- Keep at it! If you've transformed the Empusa correctly and are using the right attack, you'll eventually defeat it and collect the massive amount of Red Orbs needed to complete the mission. You've got 90 seconds, so stay focused!
Tips
- Make sure you're comfortable with Dante's Gunslinger style and the Faust weapon's basic attack before attempting this. Practice makes perfect!
- Don't get flustered if you don't get it on the first try. This mission requires a specific sequence and a bit of timing.
- Always keep an eye on the timer, but don't let it rush you into making mistakes.
