Devil May Cry 5 has its fair share of secrets, just like the past games in the series.
And one of the more prevalent examples of this are the returning Secret Missions.
There are twelve in total that can be found within the game, each marked by a pattern
on the wall.
The trick is finding the proper way to look at them and gain access.
So we’re here to help you find them all as well as provide tips on the Secret Missions
themselves.
Let’s get started.
The first Secret Mission is found in Mission 2 and is one that you’ll likely not miss
as it serves as the tutorial.
You’ll find it as you’re traveling through the dilapidated hotel surrounding a doorway.
Likewise, the mission itself is pretty simple, just defeat the demons before time runs out.
Secret Mission 2 is located in Mission 3.
Once you reach the stairwell in the sewers, go to the bottom and look up.
This should activate the glowing point and allow you access to the mission.
This one requires you to defeat every Red Empusa before they escape.
This isn’t too hard until the last group of three, but if you can keep them together,
you should be able to kill them in time with little issue.
The third Secret Mission is found in Mission 4 and requires a few steps to reach.
First you’ll want to grab the Nidhogg hatchling found after the collapsing bridge.
Continue forward until you get into a fight in the center of town, you’ll see a tall
brick building nearby with some art on it.
However, if you summon Nightmare, he will burst through that building.
After the fight, go inside and look for a path on the right.
At the end, you’ll find another Nidhogg hatchling.
Continue along the street until you see a path on the left to place the Hatchlings.
Use both to enter the nearby building and make your way to the top.
There, you’ll be able to access the Secret Mission.
This one requires you to obtain all 20 Red Orbs in a time limit.
While not hard, it will be easier if you’ve increased V’s speed.
Secret Mission 4 is found in Mission 5 and also requires the use of Nightmare.
When you’re on the left side of the boat, you’ll see a wall of loose materials ahead
of you.
Summon Nightmare to break it down and defeat the enemies on the other side.
Then climb a nearby set of stairs to the top and look towards the wall to find the pattern.
This Secret Mission requires you to defeat all the enemies while preventing V from taking
any damage.
It’s a cramped space so it can definitely be tricky, but keep all the enemies to one
side and make sure you can summon Nightmare.
With a little bit of luck, you should beat it in no time.
Secret Mission 5 isn’t available until you reach Mission 8.
This can be found near one of the lifts.
Look to the right for a platform to jump to.
Once you do, you’ll grapple points.
Shoot and grab each in turn to reach a secret alcove.
On the nearby wall is where you’ll find the Secret Mission.
This one can be one the trickiest in the game as you have to reach the goal without ever
touching the ground.
Get into a rhythm of shooting and grabbing each point point in turn.
Make sure to point the control stick toward the next in line so the aiming reticle appears
sooner.
You can only use Air Hike once so we recommend waiting for the cave area near the end as
that has the closest calls.
It might take a while but stick with it, and you’ll reach that goal.
The sixth Secret Mission is found in Mission 9.
Continue through the level until it begins to lead into a cave.
Look to the left before this and you’ll see streaks of red on the ground.
At the end is an area containing a Blue Orb blocked off by roots.
Use Griffon to shoot through the gap at the clot to destroy the roots and make your way
inside.
Climb on top of the nearby stairs and look back toward the entrance to find the Secret
Mission.
This one requires you to defeat the demons in the 20 seconds or less.
It’s not too difficult.
Just make sure to keep forward while attacking with both Griffon and Shadow.
The seventh Secret Mission is in Mission 10.
Throughout the stage, you’ll come across moments where enemies have to be defeated
quickly in order to access areas that will close off if you take too long.
And one example of this features two of the doors threatening to shut.
Defeat the enemies and head into the right door and up the path.
There you’ll find the Secret Mission.
In this mission, you have to defeat the enemy with a single bullet.
To do this, you’ll have to counter their attack and immediately shoot them.
It may take a few tries, but you’ll get the rhythm of it eventually.
Secret Mission 8 is found in Mission 11.
You can find it in the building that you have to gradually collapse.
However, don’t go too crazy or you’ll the miss the marking.
Only destroy the first blood clot in order to drop the building.
Then jump onto the second floor and look toward the wall.
Here you’ll find the Secret Mission.
Here you have to maintain a S Rank for 50 seconds.
Fortunately, this isn’t too hard especially with the Balrog equipped.
Just make sure not to get hit.
The ninth Secret Mission is in Mission 12.
Eventually in the level, you’ll be ascending a dusty mine.
Keep an eye out for red streaks along the wall then look behind you to find an alcove.
Make your way to it and look back where you came from to access the Secret Mission.
For this mission, you’ll need to stay in the air for 15 seconds.
We managed to do this with the Cavaliere, swinging away in the air though this will
only last for about 12 seconds.
Fortunately, we hit the nearby enemy which kept us suspended for the extra time we needed.
The tenth Secret Mission is in Mission 14.
At one point, you’ll see Nero fighting enemies nearby.
Travel along the edge of the arena until you reach the corner.
When you turn back, you’ll see the pattern leading to the Secret Mission.
This requires you to reach the goal without touching the ground.
We were able to do this by jumping forward, using V’s cane to carry our momentum forward
until we were lower than the cave entrance, double jump and fly beyond that, and when
Griffon dropped use the right trigger and cane attack to dash forward.
This was enough for us to reach the goal.
Secret Mission 11 is found in Mission 15.
Behind one of the statues that allows you to buy upgrades, there’s actually a path
to a kind of skate park featuring the Punch Line Devil Breaker.
Send out the arm then hold the button as it comes back to start riding it.
Unfortunately, we weren’t exactly the best at this, but we managed enough that we reached
the top.
To the right is a small area to look back and find the Secret Mission.
This one has you heading for the goal in 20 seconds so just make sure to learn the layout
and figure out which platforms you should land on to keep things moving.
The final Secret Mission is in Mission 16 and can be a bit tricky to reach.
You’re constantly descending as Dante in this level so you’ll want to make sure to
look ahead.
But at one point, you’ll see Red Orbs across a path marked by collapsing platforms.
If you’re successful, you’ll actually take a different route.
But this also leads away from the Secret Mission.
Instead, drop down with the collapsing platforms.
Eventually you’ll reach another tunnel.
Look down and make sure to land on the highest platform which has a hole in the one corner.
Look through that hole to find a collapsing platform and Red Orbs.
Land on it and quickly get to solid ground.
Follow the path on the other side and carefully drop to the platform on the left.
Head inside the alcove and turn around to find the pattern marking the Secret Mission.
Here you have to collect a set amount of Red Orbs thanks to Dr. Faust.
Equip the weapon and let the enemy absorb the nearby blood.
This will give it just enough Red Orbs for you to use the forward attack with Dr. Faust
and complete the mission.
And there you have it.
All 12 Secret Missions in Devil May Cry 5.
Each one will earn you a Blue Orb Fragment which increase your health with every four
found.
But there’s still plenty more of these fragments to find in the levels themselves.
So we’ll be searching for those very soon.
