Main Mission 2

Complete Main Mission 2, Qliphoth, in devil may cry 5. Learn about Stylish Rank, find Red Orb Clusters, and obtain the Nidhogg Hatchling.

As you begin the mission, you should notice a Red Orb Cluster just ahead, so break it to get some orbs. Continue forward, ignoring the Red Empusa that scurries off and go straight down a small set stairs to find another Red Orb Cluster. Carry on the main path, into an open area, where you’ll find your first fight of the mission.

You’ll be taught about the Stylish Rank here, where it’s mentioned that the length and variety of your combos determine how many Stylist Points you get, as well as the Stylish Rank that is displayed on the right hand side of the screen. It starts out at D, then increases upwards as you perform combos and skills, with the highest rank being SSS. Of course, if you don’t happen to be attacking enemies, it will slowly deteriorate (higher ranks go down faster), so you want to always be attacking, even if it’s with ranged attacks. Note that getting hit will also lower your Stylish Rank, usually by a whole letter or more, so try not to get hit all too much. Stylish Ranks affect your score on the result screen after a mission.

You’re up against some Empusa here, with a wave of three at first, then a second wave of five appearing after the first is dead. Feel free to experiment with your moves here, to see how the Stylish Rank works. The barrier will dissipate after the battle is over. There is a wall on the right side (when looking at the main path) that has a car on the edge of it. You can wall jump to the top of it, scoring some Red Orbs. Drop down to find more Red Orbs, then jump on the bus for even more. At the end of this alley, you will find some demons, specifically a Red Empusa, some normal Empusa and even a Green Empusa. Concentrate on the first one, then clean up the rest. Once it’s all over, look for the Gold Orb at the end of the alley.

Return to the main path and you will see the street split, so take the right side for right now. A Red Empusa will spawn in this little area, so quickly kill it, then look for an opening on the right side (up a little bit). Jump up to this opening to find two Red Orb Clusters, so break them both and you’ll get this mission’s specific trophy/achievement. Back on the main path, some tentacles will appear, so get rid of them, and head into the courtyard, where you’ll be introduced to a new enemy, the Hell Caina.

If you see a Hell Caina running at you, either dodge or jump out of the way, as continually attacking while another is doing this will make you get hit. A few more will spawn after you get rid of the initial three, but you shouldn’t really have too much trouble with the Hell Caina. If you need some health after, or during, the fight, then there is a green orb on the right side of the courtyard, near the car. Head inside the building after the fact (there’s a Devil Breaker to the side of the stairs, if you need one) and after going upstairs, some enemies will spawn on the ground floor.

You should only see two Empusa, but a Red Empusa will likely be by the front door, ready to run away, so give chase if you want those sweet Red Orbs. Return upstairs and find the doorway that leads further into the building, until you view a cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically) of someone fighting in the back.

This will be a good time to briefly explain the multiplayer component of devil may cry 5. During some missions, you will see a “Starring (insert name)” on the left side of the screen. If it’s a person’s online handle, then they will usually be shown in the background, but they aren’t really playing at the same time as you. This is another mission that takes place at the same time as your current one. “DMC Crew” is developer data, in case there isn’t any other player available or if you’re playing offline. At the end of missions, you will be able to “evaluate” the other player, rewarding them with a Stylish rating or not. For every Stylish rating received from another player, you will receive a Gold Orb.

Once the short scene is over, the floor underneath you will break away, dropping you to the level below you. There is only one way to go, so follow the path to a room that has some strange objects in it. The pedestal-like thing, when interacted with, will give you a Nidhogg Hatchling. This weird thing acts similar to a key, with the “door” being the thing with ooze coming out of it. Insert the Nidhogg Hatchling into the weakened Qliphoth Root to remove it, then step through the new opening. Jump up to the next section, where you have two ways to go, although one is a short dead end that only houses a Devil Breaker on the ground.

Continue up the stairs and you should get a brief tutorial about finding the way if you don’t know where to go. This is done by pushing the left
