Secret Mission 7

Need help with Secret Mission 7 in Devil May Cry 5? This guide breaks down the strategy to defeat the Death Scissor in one hit and claim your victory.

Alright, let's tackle Secret Mission 7 in Devil May Cry 5. This one's a bit tricky and relies on perfect timing, so pay close attention!

Where to Find It:

You'll find this mission during Main Mission 10. It pops up when you're first introduced to the Hellbat enemy. Keep an eye out for those timed doors – they look spiky and will slam shut if you're too slow. If they close, you'll miss out on whatever's inside until you restart. After you deal with the first two waves of enemies in this section, you'll see two timed doors. You want to go through the one that *doesn't* have Red Orbs right behind it. Follow that path all the way to the end, and you'll see a raised platform in the middle. Stand on it and look up – you'll see the markings to start Secret Mission 7.

The Challenge:

This mission is all about facing off against the Death Scissor. Depending on how you've handled them before, this can be surprisingly easy or incredibly frustrating. The main goal? Defeat the Death Scissor in a single hit. Yep, you read that right. Any damage that isn't that one-hit kill will mean you fail the mission.

Strategy:

Your best bet is to use your gun for this. Trying to pull off a melee hit that also counts as a one-hit kill is way too risky. So, here's the plan: Wait for the Death Scissor to start its attack animation. The forward cutting attack is usually the easiest one to time. As it swings, you need to parry its attack with your sword. If you time it perfectly, you'll see a bit of red mist come off it. That's your cue! Immediately switch to your ranged weapon and fire. If you've done everything right, this will instantly defeat the Death Scissor.
