Devil May Cry 5

PS4 / PS5

Worthy of Legend shapes this route. Keep S ranks organised by difficulty and do not spend the whole first run repeating early stages: use a clear to open skills and modes, then return to the chapters with the lowest scores.

PS4 has 49 base trophies; Bloody Palace and Vergil are additional groups. The PS5 Special Edition counts all 55 trophies in its platinum set, including Vergil, Legendary Dark Knight and Bloody Palace.

  • Trophy sets: PS4: 49 base; PS5: 55 base
  • S ranks: Hell and Hell is included; Heaven or Hell is excluded
  • Online modes: No online trophies are required

First campaign and character routes

Start on Devil Hunter and open Son of Sparda, followed by Dante Must Die. Also finish Human if you did not start there: a higher difficulty clear does not award the lower difficulty trophies. Replay Missions 7 and 13 with the missing characters, because one clear does not cover all their routes.

  • Record Nero and V in Mission 7, then Nero, Dante and V in Mission 13.

Collect fragments and secret trials

Look for blue and purple fragments as you explore. Stand at the viewing point until the markings line up to reveal a Secret Mission; once found, its challenge can be retried without replaying the whole route. Put Red Orbs into all three fighters instead of maxing one skill tree right away.

  • Check all twelve Secret Missions and both upgraded gauges before the S-rank cleanup.

Earn S ranks one difficulty at a time

Track Human, Devil Hunter, Son of Sparda, Dante Must Die and Hell and Hell separately. On a difficult mission, skip optional fights that drag your style down, aim to clear without continuing and drill the fight that loses the most points. Super costumes penalise the result. Heaven or Hell needs a clear rather than S ranks.

  • On Special Edition clear Legendary Dark Knight for its trophy; Worthy of Legend does not need S ranks there.

Practise before Hell and Hell

One hit drops your character in Hell and Hell, while enemies take normal punishment. Rehearse the mission on Son of Sparda and plan a safe opener for each wave. Aim for the no-damage bonus on an S-rank attempt; if you get hit early, restart rather than spending the remaining revives.

  • With Dante, practise Dr. Faust in trouble spots and keep a reserve of Red Orbs.

Finish the requirements for your edition

The PS4 base platinum does not need Vergil or Bloody Palace. On PS5, finish the Vergil campaign, buy his skills, clear Mission 19 with only Yamato and finish the Palace as Nero, Dante, V and Vergil. Do the main campaign ranks and trophies with the characters the set specifies, separately from Vergil’s run.

  • On the PS5 list also check A Legendary Return, A Champion Rises and Four Infernal Kings.

Trophies to watch

Worthy of Legend

Clear all missions with S rank on all difficulties except Heaven or Hell.

Track ranks per difficulty and treat Hell and Hell as its own phase.

Secrets Exposed

Clear all secret missions.

Once the markings line up, attempt the trial’s own requirement before resuming the chapter.

Who Needs Weapons Anyway?

Clear Mission 11 without equipping a weapon set for Dante (any difficulty except Heaven or Hell).

Set up an empty weapon loadout after unlocking the relevant skill; do not choose Heaven or Hell.

Battle for the Ages

Clear Missions 19 and 20 without using continues (any difficulty except Heaven or Hell).

If the final fights are still unreliable, replay them on Human without using continues.

Frequently asked questions

Is Vergil required on PS4?

Not for the PS4 base platinum. His trophies are in an additional group; they belong to the main set in PS5 Special Edition.

Can I replay individual missions?

Yes. Mission Select helps with missing fragments, character requirements and ranks. Always double-check your difficulty.

Do I need S ranks on Legendary Dark Knight?

No. The Special Edition asks for a clear on that mode for a separate trophy. Hell and Hell, by contrast, does need S ranks.
