Stuck on Secret Mission 9 in Devil May Cry 5? This guide breaks down the objective and provides a step-by-step strategy using the Cavaliere to stay airborne for 15 seconds.

Alright, so you've made it to Secret Mission 9 in Devil May Cry 5. This one's a bit different – it's all about staying in the air. Don't worry, it sounds tougher than it is, and I'll walk you through it.

Location:

You'll find this mission after you've dealt with the blood fountain puzzle in Main Mission 12. Keep following the path until you have to jump up some ledges. Once you reach the top, immediately turn around. You should see another ledge a little ways off. It looks tricky, but you can make it. A double jump followed by a Trickster dash will get you there, or you can use the Cavaliere's Stinger near the edge for a super long jump. That red glow you're looking for is on this hidden ledge.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    As soon as the mission starts, you'll see a Hell Antenora and a Pyrobat. You don't really need them to fight, but the Pyrobat is your key target here.
  2. 2
    Wait for the Pyrobat to spawn and lock onto it.
  3. 3
    Jump once, and immediately start spamming the Cavaliere's Highside ability. Remember, that's holding R1/RB, then pushing back on the left analog stick and pressing Triangle/Y.
  4. 4
    Highside should give you a nice boost into the air. Keep using it to stay up.
  5. 5
    If you start losing altitude, don't panic! You should still have your double jump ready. Use it to gain a bit more height.
  6. 6
    You can also use the Trickster air dash right after your double jump to squeeze out another second or two in the air.
  7. 7
    Pro-tip: If you manage to catch an enemy with Highside, you can hold down the attack button to keep yourself airborne even longer. This is super helpful for hitting that 15-second mark.
Tips
  • The Cavaliere is definitely your best friend for this mission. Make sure you have the Highside ability unlocked.
  • Don't get discouraged if you don't nail it on the first try. It might take a couple of attempts to get the timing down for Highside and your follow-up jumps/dashes.
  • Focus on keeping that Pyrobat locked on if you can, as catching it with Highside really extends your airtime.

Completing this mission will earn you the satisfaction of ticking another Secret Mission off your list, and likely a sweet Devil Trigger gauge refill or some Red Orbs!
