Devil May Cry, DMD 100% Challenge, Mission 23

S-Rank requirements:

Time: 7:00
Red orbs: 600

And: it's done, motherfuckers! :p

Needless to say, Mission 23 was much much much much much easier than Mission 22 :p ... The hardest part by far was the tunnel escape, but in the end, it only took me about 5 or 6 tries to get past it. There are two key points to getting past the tunnel without getting hit:

a) Hold down the shoot button as soon as you gain control of Dante and *don't let go*
b) Swerve in the right places

You don't need to swerve until you reach the 2nd empty(ish) cave with the pillar in the middle, then you have to swerve to the right to evade it. After that, when you re-enter the twisty tunnel, you need to swerve left both times straight after the tunnel does a 360 degree spin twice in a row, then after the 2nd left, swerve right.

You only need to swerve *slightly* - unless you want to go heading straight into the left or right hand bank :p

For the rest of the mission, I thought I would bring out the Nightmare-Beta out to play :p ... Stylish combo ratings without any effort FTW! :p

So, at the end of my DMD 100% challenge, this is what I have:

- 6 Devil Stars
- 7 Holy Waters
- 5 Untouchables
- 1 Bangle of Time
- All Devil Arms and guns
- 7 yellow orbs
- All 44 blue orb fragments and 2 whole blue orbs collected, with the remainder being bought from divinity statues
- All 7 purple orbs bought
- All 12 Secret Missions completed
- All 23 Missions with SBs completed, no damage taken, even though I could have accepted damage in most missions, due to this being a lenient ranking game, so ner :p
- 1 King of Hell picture

That's it. My 100% game complete, with *nothing* omitted. I hope you folks enjoyed watching!

As for me, I finally did what I had wanted to do for such a long time: record a DMC1 DMD SB game of my own :p ... I have to be honest, and say this challenge not only gave me a run for my money, it positively made me do several marathons for it.

I bought DMC1, by pure serendiptious chance, in Jan 2003. To cut a long story short, I was also buying a PS2, and one free Platinum (UK equivalent of Greatest Hits) game was on offer along with the PS2. After half an hour spent humming and awing, I finally settled, rather reluctantly, upon a game I had never heard of called Devil May Cry. The shopkeeper reassured me it was "good". I didn't really believe him :p

Four years later, here I am - four years older and none the wiser for it. Four years older and *still* a moron :p ... But I did get good at DMC1 in that time. I haven't played very many video games compared to most games players, but it still stands as the single best action game I have ever played. Such a simple game on the surface; so much depth under the surface. And, leniency aside, the ranking system is gold.

So, what next? Well, no more DMC1 for a while :p ... Well, that sort of *depends*. One idea I had in mind was to do a DMC1 combo video. It would give me a chance to learn video editing - something I've wanted to do for a while now - and such a project could be good fun overall. In fact, at the moment, that is a strong possibility, assuming I can think of enough decent ideas to sustain the duration of five or six minutes.

I also want to finish my FF7 game. I'm interested in exploring an X-ATM092 exploit in FF8 - *not* my discovery, I hasten to add, but if it works, I might, with the requisite permission, write a guide to it, since this isn't something generally known about.

I've also got the *great* DMC2 to finish :p ... It's a bad game with a great name. I've got some other games I want to catch up on too. But I guess the most important thing coming up next is:

DMC3.

We'll see where I can get with that in six months to a year. I'm *very* behind on it compared to other DMC3 players, and I've probably left it too late to ever become one of the great players at it - assuming I even could. DMD SS-Rank DMC3 game in a few months' time? We'll see... ;p

well, congratiulation, but i got a question: is it possible to have the sword sparda with devil trigger in the normal game?

[Joch1]

Yeah, but you need ARMAX and the PAL version to get the best possible Sparda DT outside of Mission 22.

[ghostryder000]

epic fail. I just completed the whole game on S-rank on each difficulty with each character with every secret mission completed by each of the three characters. I can say i beat dmc on 100% not you.

[Joch1]

To ghostryder000 - We have a moron afoot and it's not me, so it must be you.

[6NK6]

[MissBloodElf123]

y u gotta skip all the good parts of the vids u passed :O

[XenBuddhist]

Is there some kind of blue orb fragment glich or something? I've watched 2 people now play through %100 completion while I played through %100 at the same time. I wasn't able to beat the secret mission where u fight the 3 shadows the first time through and I forgot the one where you have to jump off of the wraiths, but I got them the second time through and every place there was a blue orb fragment is a yellow orb now but it says I have 3/4 fragments and my health's a little lower. WTF!?

[bluetires12]

Impressive..I just got into DMC 1 for the first time last week (got it in a garage sale with about 20 other old games), and I thought the normal difficulty was a headache!
