DmC: Devil May Cry (2013) PS3 platinum guide

DmC: Devil May Cry (2013)

PS3

The Ninja Theory DmC platinum tests two different skills: beating the advanced difficulties and scoring highly in every Nephilim mission. Separate your speed and style attempts from collectible hunting. Once you know the arenas and have all the weapons, you can return directly to the missions you still need.

Original 2013 DmC for PS3. The PS4 Definitive Edition has a different trophy list.

  • Edition: PS3 original (2013)
  • Base-game trophies: 49, all offline
  • Campaign: 20 missions; SSS rank on each in Nephilim
  • Collectibles: 80 Lost Souls, 21 keys, 21 doors

Unlock the advanced difficulties

Start on Nephilim if you know the genre; otherwise learn the controls on Human or Devil Hunter. Your first clear opens Son of Sparda. Do not spend too long hunting every door immediately: some areas are easier to reach once you have the campaign's movement tools and weapons.

  • Unlock Dante's weapons and check that Son of Sparda is available after the finale.

Free Lost Souls and clear the secret challenges

Replay incomplete missions and use the results to distinguish keys, doors and Lost Souls. A key opens a door in the matching category; opening a door is not the same as clearing its challenge. Give troublesome trials their own attempts and spend the upgrade points earned through the campaigns.

  • Check off 100% collection per mission and separately verify all 21 completed challenges.

Separate Dante Must Die and Heaven or Hell

Son of Sparda opens Dante Must Die and Heaven or Hell. Prioritise survival and save resources for the worst fights in Dante Must Die. In Heaven or Hell both Dante and enemies fall in one hit: have your guns ready for distant targets, then finish the campaign to unlock Hell and Hell.

  • Beat Dante Must Die first to unlock Super Dante for the later run.

Clear Hell and Hell

In Hell and Hell a single hit drops Dante while enemies keep their normal resilience. Use Super Dante if you want Devil Trigger at hand: clearing missions matters here, rather than score. Against groups, control space and interrupt attacks before they overlap instead of immediately chasing the first target.

  • Do not use the score from this mode to judge your Jackpot! attempts.

Get SSS on every Nephilim mission

Return to Nephilim after collecting the items. Rotate weapons and moves, protect your multiplier by dodging before a hit and move quickly through traversal. Avoid consumables, deaths and the Super Dante costume on score attempts. The final rank also takes time and collection into account.

  • Check the final grade on all 20 missions on the same difficulty.

Trophies to watch

Keeps getting better and better

Gain a 100% completion rank on all missions (difficulty doesn't matter)

Finish the keys, doors and Lost Souls in each chapter on the same save before your score run.

Devils never cry

Complete all missions on the Dante Must Die difficulty

Keep the survival run separate from Jackpot! and prepare for the changed enemy groups on the advanced modes.

And welcome to Hell!

Complete all missions on the Hell and Hell difficulty

Finish Heaven or Hell to unlock it, then use mobility and Super Dante if they help you clear fights.

Jackpot!

Complete all missions on the Nephilim difficulty with a SSS rank

You need an SSS results-screen rank for each Nephilim mission, rather than a single SSS combo.

One hell of a party!

Complete all of the Secret Missions

Opening the doors is only the first step: enter and beat every trial through its completion screen.

Frequently asked questions

Does Vergil's Downfall count toward platinum?

No. Vergil's trophies are separate from the 49 base-game trophies, even when shown in the overall list.

Do I need a Human playthrough?

No. A first clear on Nephilim unlocks Son of Sparda and qualifies for the trophy that accepts any of the three starting difficulties.

Does a Dante Must Die SSS count for Jackpot!?

No. Jackpot! checks only the Nephilim mission results.
