As many of you have seen, many members are having a bit of trouble with the storyline of the games. This can been seen by new threads for Devil May Cry 4, in which people speculate many things, who are a bit weird, considering some facts that happened in the games.
After some talk with
) we concluded that a thread which explains the general plot and stuff in the games should be included.
Please watch for spoilers.
Devil May Cry
Two Milleniums ago a great war happened between the human world and the demon world. The demons were far more powerful than the humans, but then a ray of hope emerged in the form of a different demon, Sparda. Sparda took petty on humans and defeated the demon emperor Mundus, sealing him along with his powers and the rest of the demon world with a spell. And after that he continue to protect the human world until hs death, which earned him the title " Legendary Dark Knight Sparda"
In the game, the protagonist is Dante. A very capable devil hunter who uses a great sword and two handguns. He has his own shop which he calls Devil May Cry. The walls feature many devils destroyed as to show off his skill in handling these kind of special jobs, the ones he does. He has established a password only provided to people who encountered real devils, to avoid being caught in some "boring" ghost huntings.
One night his shop was attacked by a mysterious young woman who seemed to know all about his past. Apparently Dante is Sparda's son, meaning that he has devil blood running in his veins, and even from when he was a child, he had special powers. Trish apologizes for the attack and admits it was only to test Dante's potential. Mundus, the emperor of the demon world attempts to gain passage to the human world once again and Trish wants Dante's assistance to send Mundus back once and for all. Dante hesitates at first but changed his mind when he saw Trish's face (as she was wearing black glasses all the time) who looks exactly like his dead mother. His mother was killed by demons years ago, and when his brother was lost, he was left with no family at all. So in respect to her having his mother's face he accepts the Mission and goes with Trish to Mallet Island to prevent Mundus' comeback.
Once arriving at a castle in the island, Dante and Trish split up and the game begins.
In the game there are orbs, each one with different needs and powers, necessary to play the game.
Red Orbs: The are the currency of the game. You use them to buy items and moves or unlock special sealed doors.
Yellow Orbs: The revive the player in a safe place just before the place in which he lost.
Blue Orbs: They make your life bar bigger and also heal you. They are usually split in 4 fragments. When you gain all 4 one Blue Orb will successfully be made.
Green Orbs: They heal the player at a random amount of life.
Purple Orbs: They make you Devil Trigger Bar bigger.
Dante proceeds at the 1st Mission in which he encounters Marrionette and Bloody Mari. The usual enemies in the game. After visiting 3,4 places in the castle he finally gets access to the next level.
In the next level Dante gets his new weapon. A Devil Arm Sword named Alastor. Alastor prides itself as being worthy only to powerful adversaries and stabs Dante in the heart. But Dante has extraordinary healing abilities and gets right back to his feet with Alastor on his back. With this sword Dante gets access to new moves and the ability to Devil Trigger. While in Devil Trigger Dante is faster,more powerful, his bullets are enhanced and he heals. Alastor gives you moves of lighting and flying. In this stage Dante also gets his trademark Shotgun. The only weapon along with Ebony & Ivory which can been used in every Devil May Cry game. Dante encounters new Devils, who look like Reapers floating, with the difference of having scissors instead of scythes. Dante defeats them and proceeds to the next level.
In the next mission Dante meets one of Mundus' direct subordinates. Phandom. A large spider whose body is made of rocks and magma and is proficient with fire attacks. Dante mocks him for having a big body and a small mind and the fights ends with Phandom retreating.
In the next Mission Dante searches for a Melancholy Soul, an object that will allow him to visit the basement of the castle. He arrives at a bedroom in which he finally founds it. In the bedroom there is a great mirror and from inside, the image of Dante comes out. Dante is annoyed by the fact that not even there he could relax a bit. The other Dante transforms into a Black Demonic Knight with a huge sword and invites Dante out to the yard where they could have space to battle.
Dante goes and a fierce battle begins. Dante manages to throw Nelo Angelo's sword(that being the name of that devil) but the next moment Dante is unarmed as well. They battle with punches and kicks and soon Nelo Angelo has the upper hand. But before he could beat Dante, Dante's amulet - a memento of his dead mother - showed up. Nelo Angelo screams after seeing it, leaves Dante and disappears.
The next mission is just Dante avoiding and beating enemies trying to get to a certain door as fast as possible.
In the next he finally is in the basement. In there Bug demons lurk but they are no much for Dante. Dante also manages to beat an elite of those Scissors I mentioned earlier who's able to lock you in a weird space while you are fighting. Dante takes another item from the basement and returns to the bedroom to open a secret door.
Notice: In the past stages, Phandom appears throughout the missions while Dante is in small corridors unable to move as he would have wanted. But not one time did Phandom succeed in injuring Dante.
So in the next mission is the final countdown between them. Now the place is as open as it can be. Phandom says that will work to his advantage as he can utilize any fire move he can in order to destroy Dante. Dante is glad to hear it since he was getting tired of Phandom's worthless attempts. Phandom falls from a glass ceiling and gets stabbed in a statue. (The very first statue we see in the game). He admits that Dante is more than just a human and asks for his identity. Dante turns to his real Devil form (not the one he uses when he is on Alastor Devil Trigger) which looks like Sparda's Devil form and Phandom gets scared a lot, before turning to asses. Dante leaves him AND the castle to explore further in Mallet Island. Where Dante beat Phandom we see Trish observing the fight and admiring Dante's amazing power. I think Dante gets his most destructive gun in the game Grenade Gun before the end of the mission as well.
In the next mission Dante is in some kind of ruined place and just wanders. He finds a new Devil Arm. Gauntlets of incredible power, wrapped in hellish flames tried to burn his arms. But Dante overcome that and gained the new Ifrit Devil Arm who gave him access to extremely powerful moves like Inferno.
Dante also meets the successor of Phandom. A new subordinate of Mundus appears under the name of Griffon. He is huge bird with many heads whose wings create powerful waves that hurt Dante from afar. He is also capable of using lighting attacks which he manipulates really well. Dante makes good use of his new Ifrit Gauntlets and his guns to hit Griffon from afar and Griffon retreats. Dante continues the mission and enters into a misty place.
In the next mission Dante is guided by a mysterious light out of the mist and enters the next stage.
In the next stage he manages to fight his way through some tough enemies and gain some items to open some other gates. But once he takes a grail, Nelo Angelo appears for a rematch. Dante has grown more powerful, while Nelo stayed at the same level and Dante beats him easily.
After that Dante finds a ship, and boards it. I have to mention that this is the only Devil May Cry that has underwater battles. In these Dante is only able to use a new gun he found on the ship, the Needle Gun, which founds 5 needles and is useful only underwater. The game changes into shoot' em up mode only for these circumstances. After he fights a Death Scythe the most powerful of these Scissors/Scythes enemies Dante gets the ship moving. After a while, Griffon appears and using the air from his wings stops the ship from moving and challenges Dante again. Dante uses the terrain of the ship to avoid Griffons new attacks and ultimately causes Griffon to retreat again. Dante enters the captains cabin and ends the mission.
In the next stage Dante takes a useful object from the Captain's cabin but immediately after that the ship starts to sink. Dante swims his way out beating enemies with Needle Gun and reaches the surface thus ending the mission.
The next mission is Dante returning towards the old places, having acquired the item he sought.
After that I'm about to end the space that can be used for each post so I will post the next part in another post.
