Devil May Cry 3: Dante’s Awakening Goodies and Secrets

Alternate Ending
Kill 100 enemies during the credits to get a different ending screen (Kalinna-Ann weapon recommended.)

Excellent Red Orb Spot
A great place to rack up the red orb count is in the fifth secret mission found on stage 9. Go through the level until you get to the area where you get the spiral. Go through the passageway underneath the waterfall and up through a small tunnel directly across from where you. The secret mission is marked by a few bright glowing crystals. Once inside you must destroy every breakable object within 40 seconds. The jukebox contains 500 red orbs, although there are many other things to smash as well. Since you can repeatedly pass/fail this mission and not encounter any enemies, you can repeat this process for lots of easy orbs!

Lady’s Alternate Outfit
Complete the game with the Legendary Dark Knight / Sparda, and lady will wear her alternate white outfit while fighting alongside you during the credits screen.

Loading Screen Boredom
During the “Now Loading” screen you can press your assigned buttons to shoot your guns or slash your sword.

Multi-player Mode
Activate the Doppleganger style and press the Start button on a second control pad. The shadow form of Dante will now be controlled by player 2 (Super Dante character recommended.)

Original Devil May Cry Reference
During the third mission, in a bar, there’s a jukebox that will play the original Devil May Cry’s battle theme (Public Enemy) for a short period of time when you smash it.

Quick Shotgun Reloading
When firing the shotgun, during the reloading animation quickly switch back and forth from your secondary firearm to skip reloading and instantly be ready to continue firing.
