PS3 / PS4
Finishing Dante's story is not enough in Devil May Cry 2: Lucia also has to clear Normal and Hard to open the final difficulty. Use those runs to build your arsenal and collect fragments, then take advantage of Trish where she can save you a run. Bloody Palace is the other major test, and the right portal on each floor makes a difference.

Finish Normal with Dante and Lucia
Complete both stories on Normal. Look for Secret Room entrances, aim for one S rank with each character and track their upgrade purchases separately. Finishing both campaigns opens Hard and makes Bloody Palace available, but it is better to wait until a character is ready for it.
- Verify that both Dante and Lucia show a Normal clear before changing difficulty.
Collect twelve fragments before whole Orbs
For Caeruleus Diabolus, collect twelve fragments with a single character. PS3 players have reported issues after buying or picking up a whole Blue Orb: postpone those until the trophy appears. Use Secret Room rewards and keep a separate count of fragments picked up during missions.
- Keep an earlier save and buy whole Orbs after the fragment trophy unlocks.
Unlock Must Die and clear a Trish run
Finish Dante's Hard story to unlock Trish and clear Lucia's Hard story to open Must Die. If Trish suits you, use her for the final campaign: one clear can satisfy both the Must Die and character trophies. If you prefer Dante for the bosses, finish a separate Normal campaign as Trish instead.
- Check both character and difficulty before starting the final campaign.
Finish both arsenals
As Dante, collect the swords and take them all to level 3; upgrading a gun has a separate trophy. As Lucia, track every weapon in her arsenal and the Devil Hearts. Spend Red Orbs on the remaining levels once you know which items you already have in your inventory.
- Check levels in the menu after each purchase and keep Dante and Lucia's trophies distinct.
Take the green portal in Bloody Palace
Each cleared arena offers three portals. The green one advances a hundred floors, the white one ten and the red glyph one. Use the green shortcut to make the climb manageable; if an enemy pressures you, fight from range and keep Devil Trigger for waves that take away your room to move.
- Check that Over 9000! has unlocked before leaving the run.

Frequently asked questions
Is finishing with Dante enough to open Hard?
No. Hard requires Normal clears for both Dante and Lucia.
Do Bloody Palace floors add up across attempts?
No. Reach the threshold in one climb; green portals are the shortest route.
Do I need S rank on every mission?
No. The rank trophies require one S mission with Dante and one with Lucia. S on every mission is an objective in the third game.
