Avid Gamer & Reviewer
This is a Trophy guide for Devil May Cry 2 HD. Spoilers will be omitted for the sake of new players.
Estimated Time: 20 - 30 hours
Difficulty: 8/10
Minimum Playthroughs: 7 playthroughs (1 for Dante playthrough on Normal Mode, 1 for Lucia playthrough on Normal Mode, 1 for Dante playthrough on Hard Mode, 1 for Lucia playthrough on Hard Mode, 1 for Dante Must Die Mode or Lucia Must Die Mode, 1 for Trish playthrough, and 1 for Bloody Palace playthrough)
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. This game allows you to select any completed Missions, so you can go back to any Missions to get back any missed Blue Orb Fragments, weapons, or farm Red Orbs and Gold Orbs.
There are three playable characters in the game, and each of them have their own unique moves and weaponry to be used in the game. Dante is fairly balanced, with very useful firearms, strong swords and has access to his Majin D.T. form. However, he feels a bit slower than Lucia, especially his sword combos. Lucia is faster than Dante, but she lacks Majin D.T. form, and her playthrough is much more shorter than Dante's. Trish is a secret character which is unlocked upon beating the game in Hard Mode. She plays much like Dante with some exclusive skills like Round Trip, except that she has full upgrades on her weapons, and her D.T. form has some nice attacks. Choosing which character suits best is important when attempting the Bloody Palace Trophies.

Every Tongue will Confess
Description: Finish the game on Must Die Mode with any character
Difficulty: 4/10
How to get it: Complete the game in Dante Must Die mode or Lucia Must Die mode. I do not find this mode to be particularly hard, but some fighting parts can be difficult, such as The Despair Embodied battle. Enemies are tougher, and they have their own D.T. modes. Moderate patience and skills are needed to complete the Must Die mode for Dante or Lucia. If you want to get this Trophy fast, play Lucia Must Die mode.
Barehand Beauty

First Blood
Description: Pass 1000 levels in Bloody Palace Mode
Difficulty: 4/10
How to get it: Ascend 1000 levels in Bloody Palace to get this Trophy. Every time you clear out enemies in a level, there will be three portals. One will ascend for only 1 level, the second portal will ascend for 10 levels, whereas the last portal will ascend for 100 levels. Generally, always take the 100 levels portal to get this Trophy quickly. If you somehow ended up levels that end with zero (e.g level 110), you will have to fight a boss. In early levels, fighting bosses will be easy, but bosses will be more tougher in higher levels.
Oh, remember to dodge to avoid attacks. You can use your built up D.T. to regenerate your health after completing a level. When you want to do it, equip Healing Heart for faster recovery.
Blood Letting
Description: Pass 5000 levels in Bloody Palace Mode
Difficulty: 5/10
How to get it: Ascend 5000 levels in Bloody Palace to get this Trophy. Every time you clear out enemies in a level, there will be three portals. One will ascend for only 1 level, the second portal will ascend for 10 levels, whereas the last portal will ascend for 100 levels. Generally, always take the 100 levels portal to get this Trophy quickly. If you somehow ended up levels that end with zero (e.g level 110), you will have to fight a boss. In early levels, fighting bosses will be easy, but bosses will be more tougher in higher levels.
As you progress to 3000 levels and above, you will fight lots of tougher enemies like Goatlings, Blood Goats, and Abyss Goats. Whenever you encounter them, killing them first is the main priority. Also, enemies will start using D.T., so work quickly to finish a level.
Over 9000!
Description: Pass 9000 levels in Bloody Palace Mode
Difficulty: 8/10
How to get it: Ascend 9000 levels in Bloody Palace to get this Trophy. Every time you clear out enemies in a level, there will be three portals. One will ascend for only 1 level, the second portal will ascend for 10 levels, whereas the last portal will ascend for 100 levels. Generally, always take the 100 levels portal to get this Trophy quickly. If you somehow ended up levels that end with zero (e.g level 110), you will have to fight a boss. In early levels, fighting bosses will be easy, but bosses will be more tougher in higher levels.
As you progress to 3000 levels and above, you will fight lots of tougher enemies like Goatlings, Blood Goats, and Abyss Goats. Whenever you encounter the flying goat demons, killing them first is the main priority. Also, enemies will start using D.T., so work quickly to finish a level.
The best preparation to get this Trophy is stocking all of Vital Stars, Large Vital Stars, Devil Stars, Large Devil Stars, Smell of Fears, and a Gold Orb. Also, upgrade all of your weapons to the fullest. Now, to choose which character to get this Trophy.
Recommended Hearts to be used in Bloody Palace are Quick Heart, Healing Heart, Offense Heart, Electro Heart, and Frost Heart.
I personally think Dante is the best character to be used in Bloody Palace, as he has Vendetta, Rocket Launcher, Shotgun, and his Majin D.T. form. His Rocket Launcher can kills the goat demons in a few shots, and his Vendetta has high attack power.
I used Lucia, and I only managed to reach 3500+ levels. As for Trish, I have managed to reach 4600+ levels.
Savage Golems are great to fight to build your D.T. and health recovery. One strategy for full health recovery is to equip Healing Heart and Quick Heart, attack the golems until your D.T. is full, then use D.T. to restore health as much as possible, and repeat the previous steps again. This works in 5000+ levels, as you will encounter lots of tough enemies like the goat demons and the golems. Other enemies are easier to handle, so fight carefully.
One of the riskiest strategy is to purposely let Dante's health go down until the bar is flashing red, and use D.T. to trigger Majin D.T. form. Majin D.T. form has very powerful attacks that can decimate enemies easily even when they are using D.T, as well as being invincible. After the D.T. gauge is finished, get attacked again until the health bar is flashing red again, then use a Devil Star and use Majin D.T. form again.
The downside is that you will not know how much health you will recover upon using Majin D.T. form, as using attacks will drain the D.T. gauge faster. Also, you are in danger of dying unless you have Gold Orb.
This is a risky strategy, but I find that using regular D.T. form is enough since it is less risky.
NOTE: For PAL region owners, you can use a cheat for Infinite D.T. for Lucia or Dante for Bloody Palace mode. The cheat can be read here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/646887-devil-may-cry-hd-collection/62593974
NOTE 2: Please be aware that you may encounter glitches when playing Bloody Palace in higher levels, such as black screen. If you encountered these glitches, you have no choice but to restart the Bloody Palace again. I have encounter two glitches upon my Bloody Palace playthroughs.

Description: Defeat Trismagia
Difficulty: 3/10

Use Offense Heart as always.
Extinguished

Use your sword attacks or Missile Launcher to kill each boss component quickly. Save your D.T. for the next fight. Remember that each boss component has their own unique attacks, so dodge wisely.
Dante's second final boss, The Despair Embodied is slightly harder, with lots of variety of attacks. Use Frost Heart and Offense Heart in D.T to damage it quickly, and always dodge whenever possible.
Lucia's first final boss, Possessed Arius is easy to beat as he is slow. Dodge constantly if he attacks, and keep attacking him using your sword combos. Use Zambak for higher damage.
Lucia's second final boss, Arius Argosax is slightly dificult to beat. You have to rely on your ranged weapons like Throwing Daggers and Darts. Once you have enough D.T, use it and use your D.T. shots on the boss.

Difficulty: 2/10
How to get it: Easy. Just get an S Rank combo by attacking enemies as well as dodging attacks. You can get this easily in Mission 3, where you can fight an Infested Tank. Keep attacking one of the tanks with your sword combos close to the tank. You can keep dodging to keep the Stylish Ranking up longer.
Description: Reach Level 3 on any Sword with Lucia
Difficulty: 2/10
How to get it: You just have to upgrade either Cutlaseer, Klyamoor, or Zambak to maximum to get the Trophy. I suggest upgrading Zambak since it is her strongest weapon.
Description: Reach Level 3 on any Gun with Dante
Difficulty: 2/10
How to get it: You have to upgrade either Ebony and Ivory, Shotgun, Missile Launcher or Submachine Guns. I suggest upgrade Missile Launcher or Submachine Guns first because they are particularly great against many enemies. Missile Launcher is particularly useful fighting against large bosses like Argosax the Chaos.
