Avid Gamer & Reviewer
This is a Trophy guide for Devil May Cry HD. Spoilers will be omitted for the sake of new players.
Estimated Time: 20 - 30 hours
Difficulty: 8/10
Minimum Playthroughs: 3 playthroughs (1 for first playthrough (Normal), 1 for Hard Mode, and 1 for Dante Must Die Mode)
Guidelines
If you are attempting to get the Platinum for this game with less difficulty, always load back your save file after completing the game to continue the game with all of your bought skills and items in a new difficulty mode. Since Dante Must Die mode is the hardest difficulty mode in the game, this is highly recommended.
Red Orbs can be farmed easily in late game Missions. It is best to farm in Mission 21 or 22 by killing Frosts in a room that has the Time Statue. Just exit the room after killing them and collecting the Red Orbs to respawn them. Ifrit is the best weapon against Frosts.
Platinum Trophy
Description: Unlock all trophies.
Difficulty: 8/10
How to get it: Obtain all Trophies to get this shiny Trophy.
Warming Up!
Description: Finish the game on Normal Mode.
Difficulty: 6/10
How to get it: You will likely get this Trophy in the first playthrough. If you keep dying from the early missions, you will have an option to switch difficulty to Easy mode. Do not switch the difficulty mode if you want to get this Trophy.
Boiling!!
Description: Finish the game on Hard Mode.
Difficulty: 7/10
How to get it: You will likely get this Trophy in the second playthrough. Enemies are slightly more tougher and some tough enemies spawn early in the game. Good strategy against bosses, fully upgraded life bar and D.T. gauge are highly recommended.
Remember to load back your finished game save file to start the game again in Hard Mode with your unlocked skills and items.
Combustible!!!
Description: Finish the game on Dante Must Die Mode.
Difficulty: 9/10
How to get it: You will likely get this Trophy in the third playthrough. Enemies are even more tougher and some tough enemies spawn early in the game. Regular enemies can also trigger their own Devil Trigger mode to kill you easily after a certain period of time. Good strategy against bosses, fully upgraded life bar and D.T. gauge are highly recommended.
In this mode, careful planning is required. In most cases, you can just simple skip fights by going to the exits. This is highly useful since many enemies in the game can kill you easily in one or two hits, like Frosts, Fetishes, and Shadows.
As for bosses, skillful dodging with timed attacks is recommended since bosses can also kill you easily in this mode. Remember to use items if you are having troubles.
Another plan is to stock up items before attempting to play this mode. Stock up on Vital Stars, Devil Stars, Holy Waters and Untouchables. You can use Holy Waters to deal heavy damage against enemies, and it is highly recommended against bosses such as the second Mundus battle.
Remember to load back your finished game save file to start the game again in Dante Must Die Mode with your unlocked skills and items.

Smashing Sensation
Description: Achieve an S Rank on any Mission.
Difficulty: 8/10
How to get it: You must obtain an S Rank on a Mission. It is recommended to do so in Normal Mode. The best Mission to get this is Mission 5, as it is the easiest and shortest Mission to get an S Rank. Get high Stylish ranking against the Shadow to get a lot of Red Orbs. Grab them, and quickly exit to the destination. Remember to fight the Sin Scissors as well. Depending on your skills, S Rank can be difficult or easy to get.
Arachnophobia
Description: Survive an encounter with Phantom
Difficulty: 5/10
How to get it: Beat Phantom in Mission 3 to get this Trophy. Phantom's weaknesses are his mouth and his upper body. Use Devil Trigger when necessary.
You're No Angel
Description: Survive an encounter with Nelo Angelo
Difficulty: 6/10
How to get it: Beat Nelo Angelo in Mission 4 to get this Trophy. Nelo Angelo is slightly difficult to fight compared to Phantom, as he is much more agile. His sword attacks can be blocked if you time your attacks against him, and use that opening to hit him. Use Devil Trigger when necessary. Alastor is recommended to use against him. He is only open to attacks when he is stunned after you block his attacks, when he is taunting you, or when he finishes a combo. His back is also vulnerable to attacks, so utilise that opening as much as possible.
Squashed Like A Bug
Description: Defeat Phantom
Difficulty: 5/10
How to get it: Defeat Phantom in Mission 8 to get this Trophy. Similar battle like the first Phantom battle, but this time there is an alternative to defeat him. At the center of the battlefield, there is a large circular glass window. Lure him to jump there for a few times for the boss for instant win. Again, use Alastor and your D.T. to defeat him.
Bird of Prey
Description: Survive an encounter with Griffon
Difficulty: 5/10
How to get it: Beat Griffon in Mission 9 to get this Trophy. It is slightly difficult to beat him since he can fly as well as uses lightning attacks. Using Air Hike or Vortex is effective against him. Guns are effective against him, especially Grenadegun. Remember that Grenadegun has a lot of recoil, so time your shots properly. Alternatively, use your Ebony and Ivory's D.T. Charged Shots at him. Skillful dodging and jumping is required to dodge his lightning attacks. Once you have damaged him enough, he will be stunned and drop to the ground. Unleash your powerful attacks when is in that state.
Broken Halo
Description: Fight Nelo Angelo a second time and prevail
Difficulty: 6/10
How to get it: You have to fight Nelo Angelo again in Mission 11. This time, the fighting area is more constricted, and Nelo Angelo has a lot of moves that give him advantages. Now, he can also use hand-to-hand combo, so be wary. Ifrit is also effective against him, especially the special D.T. Kick-13 combo. Similar strategy of his first boss fight should be practiced here as well.
Cold Turkey
Description: Fight Griffon a second time and prevail
Difficulty: 6/10
How to get it: Defeat Phantom again in Mission 12 to get this Trophy. This time, you have to fight him on a ship. Unlike the first boss fight, Griffon tends to fly around a lot. Use your firearms like your Charge Shots to damage him. Occasionally, he will drop down to the center of the ship. Use your strongest attacks like Air Raid, Vortex, or Meteor to defeat him. Again, remember to dodge his lightning attacks as much as possible. Once you have damaged him enough, he will be stunned and drop to the ground. Unleash your powerful attacks when is in that state.
Description: Unlock every enemy file in the status menu.
Difficulty: 3/10
How to get it: You just need to meet every enemy in the game to unlock this Trophy. Fairly simple, and you will unlock it upon fighting Mundus.
Plucked
Description: Defeat Griffon
Difficulty: 6/10
How to get it: Defeat Phantom permanently in Mission 15 to get this Trophy. Similar battle like the first Griffon battle, so use your firearms and your Alastor attacks against him. There are two phases. The first phase is similar to the first boss fight, whereas the second boss fight forces him to stay on the ground. Once you have damaged him enough, he will be stunned and drop to the ground. Unleash your powerful attacks when is in that state.
Night Terrors
Description: Survive an encounter with Nightmare
Difficulty: 7/10
How to get it: Defeat Nightmare in Mission 16 to get this Trophy. Nightmare battles are very difficult, even in Normal Mode. Nightmare has a lot of variety of attacks, and it is immune to external attacks. There are two ways to damage him. First, you can get intentionally absorbed by the boss while it is in liquid form. There, you need to fight some Sargassos and an inferior version of Phantom. Defeating the inferior Phantom will cause Nightmare's life to drop a lot. You can only do this once per battle.
The second way is to attack it's core when it attacks. To attack it's core, you need to cause the boss to be in solid form by attacking the light panels in the room. Few of Nightmare attacks can be deflected to expose it's core, whereas some of it are unblockable. When it exposes it's core, use your D.T. form to damage it quickly, with attacks like Inferno. It can be a difficult fight if you do know what to do, so don't be shy to use guides or items.
Fallen Angel
Description: Defeat Nelo Angelo
Difficulty: 7/10
How to get it: Defeat Nelo Angelo in Mission 17 to get this Trophy. This time, Nelo Angelo has access to several new skills, such as Summoned Swords. He can use Summoned Swords as both offense and defense. If he is about to use the Summoned Swords, damage him quickly to prevent him from using it. His attacks are largely similar to the first two battles, but this time Nelo Angelo has slightly more health and higher damage. Same strategy in his first two boss fights is valuable here, with careful dodging and attacking at the same time. Air Hike is useful as well, as it allows you to dodge his fireball attack easily.
Good Night
Description: Fight Nightmare a second time and prevail.
Difficulty: 7/10
How to get it: Defeat Nightmare in Mission 18 to get this Trophy. The battle is similar to his previous boss fight. If you get absorbed by the boss during it's liquid form, you have to fight a weaker version of Griffon. Use the same strategy in the first boss fight to defeat him.
The Nightmare is Over
Description: Defeat Nightmare
Difficulty: 8/10
How to get it: Defeat Nightmare in Mission 20 to get this Trophy. The battle is similar to his two previous boss fights, with one small change. In the second phase of the battle, you will be attacked by lightning attacks if you go near the barrier. Just use the same strategy as before to beat him effectively. If you get absorbed by the boss during it's liquid form, you have to fight a weaker version of Nelo Angelo.
The Devil Went Down To...
Description: Defeat Mundus
Difficulty: 8/10
How to get it: You have to fight Mundus three times, two in Mission 22 and one in Mission 23.
The first boss fight is a bit difficult, as you will fight the boss on the move using your cool D.T. form. Keep firing your fireballs on him to build your D.T., and press the L1 button to unleash a powerful dragon attack. With a full D.T., it can deal massive damage. Dodge his incoming attacks by flying Dante to the sides of the screen. Through perseverance and patience, you will eventually beat him.
The second boss fight is difficult as well. This time you have to fight Mundus on the ground. Basically, you need to deal damage against him by getting close to him. However, it is not easy as Mundus is dangerous in both close and long ranged areas. Use your newly acquired D.T. form and unleash your sword combos as much as you can on him. You can always get your D.T. filled by taunting or attacking him. Mundus also summons a fiery dragon or multiple large orbs to attack you. Killing the dragon allows you to get Green Orbs, refilling your health. Destroying the orbs will fill up your D.T. gauge. Dodge as much as you can as his attacks are quite dangerous.
The third boss fight is ridiculously easy. For the first phase, just attack him as much as you can while dodging. For the second phase, fill up your D.T. gauge and activate it. Fire at him using your handguns and win the battle.
Thunderstruck
Description: Perform an S Rank combo using Alastor
Difficulty: 5/10
How to get it: You need to get an S Rank combo using Alastor to get this Trophy. It is easy to get when fighting multiple Blades at a time. The best Mission to get this is on Mission 11, in the well room. In the well room, there is a lot of Blades waiting for you there. Use your sword to attack them, with attacks like Stinger, High Jump and sword combos. It can be obtained at other Missions, but I find that it is easier to get this Trophy at that part of the game. Just use the same combos to get the rank higher if necessary.
Hot As Hell
Description: Perform an S Rank combo using Ifrit
Difficulty: 5/10
How to get it: You need to get an S Rank combo using Ifrit to get this Trophy. It is easy to get when fighting multiple Blades at a time. The best Mission to get this is on Mission 11, in the well room. In the well room, there is a lot of Blades waiting for you there. Use your gauntlets to attack them, with attacks like Inferno and D.T. Kick 13 combo. It can be obtained at other Missions, but I find that it is easier to get this Trophy at that part of the game. I just use two or three Infernos at a bunch of them to get an S Rank combo.
