Devil Trigger: Character has small amount of superpowers for a short
period of time. This causes your attacks to become much stronger and
usually faster. Dante's pistols are able to shoot rapid fire while
in Devil Trigger mode (hereby known as DT).
Super DT: Only Dante is able to do this. When his health is in
the red, DT and Dante will be able to transform into Sparda. Dante
will immediately start flying, and he will now have some new abilities.
When you press the Square button, Dante will shoot fireballs from
his hands. These are very powerful, and will kill most enemies
instantly. He will also be able to use a very long, red sword
if you press Triangle. You will not be able to turn this DT off,
it will only stop when the gauge runs dry. This is great as a
last ditch effort for fighting bosses.
Special DT Stinger: While DT'd, press the Attack button 2 times,
and then press back on the control stick and hold attack. You
should see Dante start to charge up his punch, and then do about
six or seven supercharged stingers while he is punching the enemy.
This attack can hit multiple enemies.
DT Energy shot: Thanks to Demon Slayer 50000 for this move and
the next one. While in DT mode, press triangle and square at the
same time you will power up, releasing an aura that will hit all
enemies near you. You can do this on the ground, or while flying.
DT Charge up Shot: While DT'd, hold R1 and press triangle and
square at the same time; Dante will power up and shoot a giant
beam out of his chest.
Targeting 2 enemies at once: You must be between two separate
enemies for this to work. While shooting at one enemy, point your
control stick at another enemy and continue to fire in order to
shoot at both enemies at once. Dante will shoot in a different
style depending upon where the enemy is.
Running up walls: Hold the circle button as you approach the
wall. You should run up the wall a little ways, and then kick
flip off backwards. You can shoot while you are falling back to
the ground, just press R2 to lock on to the target.
Flying: You must be in DT form to do this. Continually press
the X button to go higher in flight. To descend, you either have
to wait to float down, or toggle your DT off. Press the attack
button while in the air to send your sword on a round trip, where
you throw your sword to damage an enemy, and it
comes back to you after a period of time. Press circle while flying
to strafe.
Dodging: Press the Circle button to do a diving role forward.
Press back on the control stick, and continually press the Circle
button to do successive back flips. Finally, pressing left or
right on the control stick plus the dodge button causes your character
to do cartwheels in that direction.
Swimming: Only Lucia swims. Press X to go higher, and Circle
to go lower. You cannot fire your normal weapons under water,
and if you press Triangle, Lucia will do two forward slashes.
Find the swimming heart to DT under water and swim faster.
SWORD ATTACKS
Stinger: Hold R1 and press in any direction and attack to cause
the character to rush forward and stab an enemy. The length of
this increases when the character is DTed.
High Time: Hold R1 and attack to make Dante or Lucia launch the
enemy into the air.
Spinning slash: press Triangle Triangle wait Triangle wait Triangle
Triangle to make Dante do two down slashes, follow it up with
an up slash, and then finish the move with a horizontal spin slash.
3 hit combo: Hold back on the control stick, press triangle and
then tap triangle two more times. The result should be two horizontal
slashes, followed by a spinning horizontal slash. When DTed: a
horizontal strike, followed up by a stinger, and then 4 hit combo:
Press Triangle 4 times in rhythmic succession. This should result
in 3 diagonal slashes, followed by a spinning diagonal slash.
5 hit combo: Press Triangle 3 times in rhythmic succession, then
hold the stick back and double tap Triangle. Dante should do 3
diagonal slashes, a down slash, and then a High Time. When DTed:
It is the same, except that the last two hits are replaced by
two stabs down, then a kick from Dante. The most useful combo
in my opinion.
Jump attack: If you press attack 3x while in the air, you will
do two kicks, and then perform a downward slash.
