Roadmap:

 

Playthrough #1: Playthrough on Human to unlock all the equipment and abilities. If you are an experienced DMC player you can choose to only play through mission 10. This gets you Aquilla which is the last piece of equipment needed to get all collectibles.

Playthrough #2: Playthrough each mission again on Human to collect all the keys, doors, and lost souls. This will unlock all the collectible achievements but even more importantly this will give you a SSS in unlocks to greatly boost your SSS Nephilim playthrough. Note there are several missions that have no collectibles so you are free to change difficulty to Nephilim on those to go directly for SSS if you desire.

Playthrough #3: Play on Nephilim difficultly to get SSS rank to get the Jackpot! achievement.

Playthrough #4 - #7: Playthrough on Son of Sparda, then Dante Must Die, then Heaven on Hell, and finally Hell and Hell.

Playthrough #8: If required go back to complete the 5 achievements that require skill It's only rain, Where does the time go?, A man with guts and honor, Now my coat's all charred, Every hero has a weakness

 

There is a nice achievement section on the main menu that tracks everything you need to do with counters to let you know how close you are.

 

 

MISSION 1

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1624/5-0QdPE=.jpgIt's only the rain - 10:gsicon: You Killed 10 enemies by pushing them into the Hurricane ride

The Hurricane is the tilt a whirl carnival ride you will come to in mission one. Simply use your B Hightime air attack of the Rebllion to launch enemies in the air. If the low part of the Hurricane hits them they will die. There are enough enemies to get this in one try or you can reload checkpoint to finish it up.

During the first mission you will be introduced to Divinity Statues. You use the points you acquire during missions to upgrade your weapons and abilities. Simply purchase one upgrade for this achievement. You can also upgrade from the main menu.

Story Related. The Hunter is the end boss of the first level, Found. You damage the Hunter via hitting it in the face. Watch for the wild swinging, but pretty easy to dodge. The Hunter will also jump away from you and try to grab you with his grappling hook, simply dodge away and hit him with your guns. The other attack to look out for is when the Hunter will darken the area and throw his blade out at you. During this attack you need to simply keep dodging until it is over.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1624/5-lSZ5s=.jpgLooks like it's your lucky day - 10:gsicon: You completed a level without taking any damage

Playing mission 3 a second time on Human, after already getting Angel Boost, is the way to go. There is only the opening area enemies and then you can Angel Boost to finish the level very quickly. An alternate level to get this on is mission 15, there are no enemies, but you need to get to the end without missing a single jump.

Play on Human difficulty. This is timed, but you have plenty of time. There are only a hand full of enemies in this level. Just use Demon Pull to bring them in and hit them hard. I personally messed a TON of jumps lol and still got this no problem.

MISSION 16

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1624/5-7Rhdc=.jpgNow my coat's all charred - 10:gsicon: You navigated the Sky Bridge without hitting the lasers

In mission sixteen you will come to a bridge with red and white lasers. You need to get to the end without hitting the lasers. You can restart checkpoint if you need to. There is a battle in the middle, you can get hit by enemies, but not the lasers. Time your jumps to be in sync with when they are off. The third jump is the only hard one, you need to jump, fall a bit, and then Angel Boost.

This is in mission seventeen. This is probably one of the hardest achieves. The level is VERY long and whether you have been hit or not can be hard to tell. Keep careful watch on your health meter. Make sure to reload Checkpoints, don't die from the fire and continue.

You need to find keys to unlock the secret doors. There are 10 Copper, 6 Argent, 4 Gold, and 1 Ivory Key/Door. Note that although there are a equal number of keys and doors in a level, you do not necessarily find matching keys. There is a bit of getting keys from other levels and coming back and forth.

KILL RELATED

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1624/5-t7JYw=.jpgIt's showtime. Come on! - 20:gsicon: You earned 1,500 Style Bonuses

You get Style points for doing combos during battles. I was just shy of it at the end of my first playthrough.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1624/5-z4x8A=.jpgImpressive - 10:gsicon: You have slayed 100 Demons

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1624/5-0YP1M=.jpgBring it on! - 20:gsicon: You have slayed 1,000 Demons

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1624/5-i61Ko=.jpgLooks like we have a winner - 30:gsicon: You have slayed 5,000 Demons

I was at 1,000 at then end of my first playthrough so this will unlock naturally as you work towards finishing all the difficulties.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1624/5-wWaUo=.jpgFor Tony Redgrave - 10:gsicon: You killed 50 enemies using nothing but firearms

DIFFICULTY RELATED

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1624/5-lpFSU=.jpgJackpot! - 80:gsicon: Completed all missions on the Nephilim difficultly with a SSS rank

I strongly suggest a playthrough on Human to get all the collectibles out of the way. By doing this you automatically get a SSS on collections, but it also helps you cut down your time A LOT by not having to stray off course to get souls and keys.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1624/5-7q92k=.jpgToo easy! - 40:gsicon: Completed all missions on the Son of Sparda difficulty

Beat the game on any difficulty to unlock Son of Sparda difficulty.

Beat the game on Dante Must Die difficulty to unlock Heaven or Hell. In Heaven or Hell both you an enemies die in 1 hit.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1624/5-tIHJA=.jpgAnd welcome to Hell! - 100:gsicon: Completed all missions on Hell and Hell difficulty

Beat the game on Heaven or Hell difficulty to unlock Hell and Hell. In Hell and Hell, enemies are normal health, but Dante still dies in 1 hit.

 

GENERAL LEVEL

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1624/5-laLDk=.jpgSensational! - 10:gsicon: You gained a SSS Style Rank during combat

You need to vary up your attacks and do major damage very fast. PowerPyx had found a good location for this in mission 11.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1624/5-zL-tw=.jpgStylish! - 10:gsicon: Completed a mission with a SSS rank

1. Acquiring all the collectables in a level gains you an immediate bonus of SSS in that category. This is a major help. The other two factors are points and time. Try to do as much damage as fast as you can in the least amount of time. I got this on the final level which is just a boss battle.

Trying to figure out why this game has be stuck when it's clearly not finished (50% is a push).

 

I'm thinking of buying this game, but with the comments above about the difficulty being wrong and the rest, it's annoying me a bit that this is representing the site as a complete guide and is supposed to be helpful when it's not at all helping me in any decisions.

 

This is not the first time this has happened, and sadly it's fallen under the same author. Guide has been reported for now until it gets 100% completed, submitted, published and has been official Guide Team approved for it to be stuck to the forum.

If the game difficulty is anything like older games I'm not sure I agree with the difficulty decision (lol) but a great guide nonetheless, one which will be a great help, thanks! :)

 

If you've extensively played the series, you shouldn't have too much of an issue. Pretty much everything is easier (the bosses, S/SSS ranking, etc.) compared to the older games

Also in my own opinion I would recommend doing it in this order :

Nephilim ( get used to the difficulty ) , son of sparda , heaven or hell ( very easy as everything dies in 1 hit. This also lets you maximize all skills and fill up your inventory for DMD ) , Dante Must die ( unlock Super Dante for Completion ) , hell or hell ( Use super Dante to make this a cake walk ).

 

Just my opinion :-)

I got "Looks like it's your lucky day" and "Where does the time go?" on the negotiation stage, the one you protect the car (my game is in another language so I don't know how the mission is called in english) and was not even trying, they just popped at the end. Just don't fall or miss and both will unlock after the train bridge.

Had copy / pasted roadmap from another guide so I have changed the 4 to a 8. Obviously difficulty is EXTREMELY subjective. I find it more difficult based simply on the number of playthroughs required versus the amount of time I want to put into the game lol.

I have gotten 100% completion for every game I own for the last 5 years and I guess I can kiss that goodbye with this Achievement. LOL. :eek:

Dont give up! This achievement is rage inducing but at least you don't have to start from the begging after you die. *cough* Max Payne 3 *cough*.

For those of you who have made decent progression in this game already, would you advise following BillyBob's roadmap as far as difficulty progression is concerned? Just got home from work and I'm just about to get started on my first playthrough but not sure which difficulty to start off on. I have played all four of the original DMC games, so I'm not reluctant to start on Nephilim at all but that's not what BillyBob advises. Does anyone know if you just have to complete one playthrough on any difficulty to unlock Son of Sparda or does it have to be completed on Nephilim? Also, are collectibles and SSS rankings retroactive in the sense that if I get SS rankings on all levels on Nephilim and then dedicate a separate playthrough on Human for collectibles, I will then be awarded the SSS rankings on the Nephilim missions I had completed prior? Or do the collectibles have to be completed before even thinking about going for the Nephilim SSS achievement? I'm just trying to figure this out for efficiency's sake with collectibles and all so I don't have a bunch of extra needless playthroughs (not that I don't want replay value)! Thanks in advance.
