• This is part 5 of our complete Devil May Cry 4 game guide, featuring Mission 9 For You.

  • Mission 09: For You

    1. Items down both sides of this hallway you enter can be broken for orbs. Move on for a scene involving combat between Assaults and some Bianco Angelos, including the new Alto Angelo. Take out the Biancos first by getting behind them as always, though they'll tend to make it harder for you by staying up in the air while the Alto is around. Once they're done, you have to just slice away at the Alto, avoiding his attacks, until his shield is broken (you'll know, he changes color as well) and you can Buster him however many times it takes. Altos are obviously a bit tougher than regular creatures, so watch out.
    2. Move to the door into a new, different Grand Hall, with a few benches and pots to break and a combat adjudicator on the left you need to get up to S(mokin') Stylish level to break. Also look for a Devil Star on the opposite side where the adjudicator would be. Examine the red pedestal ahead only to find it won't help you.
    3. Now lasers cover the room you were just in, but a door has opened up ont he east side. Just jump over the individual lasers and jump up to that door. Another team of Angelos will attack you, in a much smaller area just to make it even tougher. Lasers appear on each set of doors, so try not to run into them. Some stuff around the room breaks (I'm not quite sure what it was since I was fighting) but it will give you orbs and health, so that helps a lot. Once you've beaten the Angelos, the Key of Cronus will unseal, allowing you to slow time as you Buster the device that appears in the middle of the room. This will slow time and the lasers down, allowing you to go out the door to the west.
    4. The next room gives you a secret red orb stash in the middle of a very small pit. Hit the blue pedestal once you've gotten that, then enter the elevator that came down and kill the scarecrows that appear inside. There's not a lot of room, so it may be a good idea to jump up and keep doing mid-air Busters where the scarecrows can't surround you. Once they're dead, the elevator will finally start. You'll see a blue orb fragment, but you have to go up another level before you can drop down and get it. For now, hit the Cronus pedestal to move through the lasers.
    5. Frosts will attack you as you enter the next elevator. Have fun with them... Move up once you've finally destroyed them, then go out the wrong door (look around) so you can drop down and get the blue orb fragment. Yes, you'll have to come up again, but you don't have to kill anything else, until you've moved to the third elevator with the Assaults. After the Assaults, you'll reach a room with a Divinity Statue, which means it's about boss time again. Get ready, heal if you have to.

  • Boss #7: Agnus

    1. Right off the bat Agnus shows you his first and most basic attack, two slashes in a row with the Gladius. Just roll and jump away. He'll also charge up several Gladii to send at you that will continue to cycle around the room to try and hit you until you kill them, charge up fireballs to hit you, grab some cutlasses to spin around at you then throw them at you, or go to the center of the room and charge a black cloud of energy that will hit you, no matter what. Also, a charge that will grab you and start draining your life to add to his. Use Devil Trigger to escape his grip when he does that.
    2. You must keep slashing him all the time between his attacks, then use Buster whenever he sort of slouches and starts to twitch violently when you slash him. You can Buster the Gladii to throw them at him as well. If he starts charging fireballs or especially that black cloud, you need to start slashing him a lot. Enough hits will force him to stop charging those attacks, and you'll be safe. As always, use Devil Trigger to increase your damage and really increase the damage you deal with Buster attacks. Those are the basics, this fight can be either really tough or really easy depending on the kind of attacks he chooses to use. Mission complete after the fight and a cutscene.

  • Mission 10: Wrapped in Glory

    1. Go back out of this room and across into the elevator. Here you meet yet another super version of a previous enemy, the Faust. It is an improved version of Mephisto. The strategy for defeating them is the same as the Mephistos, only tougher. You still have to Snatch their cloak off then hammer them as you would a regular enemy. For this fight, take on the Mephistos before the big Faust.
    2. Once they're dead, you'll be treated to more lasers and Cronus pedestals, so make your way through and slash the blue pedestal. This will open up a way to drop down adjacent to the first set of lasers you went through. Fall down there to get back to the ground floor of this elevator room.
    3. Once you're back to the Key Chamber, an Alto and three Bianco Angelos will mob you. This is rough, so use your Devil Trigger and hit stuff around the room to heal. Do your best, then use the Cronus in the middle of the room to get back through the lasers on the east side.
    4. Once you're back in the Grand Hall, head south as you had tried before. You'll notice a perfectly fine bridge sitting here that you can cross. Do so and enter the door ahead.
    5. You will encounter more lasers. Hit the Cronus and proceed carefully but quickly enough so that your time doesn't run out. You basically have lots of jumps to do, so just keep running and jump at the right time. There's a Secret Mission (#6).
    6. In the fan room, clearly don't get hit by the fan. Just drop down and Mephistos and a Fausto will attack. Once they're dead, examine the red pedestal to slow time. This will allow you to hop up the fan blades as fast as you can and get to the platform with the door. It may take you a few tries. Just jump to the platform with the closed doors, not the one that looks open.
    7. Continue forward, and eventually four Bianco Angelos will attack you. Deal with them or just move up to the purple pedestal. Once you move up and head through a door, two Alto Angelos will attack. This will be rough, but doable. You can find some candlesticks by the walls which will fully heal you. There's also a Secret Mission on your left across from the Divinity Statue, but it's preferable to complete that as Dante. Use the Divinity Statue and get ready for a fight.

  • Boss #8: Dante

    1. Dante has so many attacks it's difficult to describe them all. Here are a few tricks to beating him.
    2. Trick #1: Shoot him over and over (he'll cancel all your shots out with his guns) until you get really close, then slash him and Buster him. Your Buster, unless in Devil Trigger, will only lead to a twitch battle which will push one of you back (press triangle as quick as you can). Clearly, use Devil Trigger whenever you think you've got his number on this trick. Sometimes, this will not work, as Dante will decide to use Streak on you, rather than deal with shooting your bullets. You win some, you lose some.
    3. Trick #2: Get on that platform in the middle of the room and Buster Dante before he lands on it. I had a lot of trouble getting this to work, but it's theoretically safer. Your choice.
    4. Trick #3: Never finish a slashing combo, but rather keep using your Buster before you finish it out. This will allow you to sometimes keep hitting him for a long time, as you slash, slash, then Buster, win the faceoff and then start over.
    5. Dante's tough, and no amount of walkthrough guidance will really give you all you need to beat him, so you may need to go backwards to old missions for red orbs so you can afford blue and gold orbs to get rid of him. Don't abandon all hope, as the game suggests when you die.
