Exploring the first part of the mansion | 2: Home Truths DMC: Devil May Cry Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

After all cut scenes start exploring Dante's mansion. Follow the path, reaching a main hall in a while. SECRET ROOM: If you repeat this mission with Ophion Angel Lift go to the left door. Jump down and use it in the place shown on the 1st screen, what brings you to the room with a Lost Soul. If it is your first visit here, stay in the main hall. Then, head for stairs shown on the second screen.

Firstly, I recommend go right for checking two nearby rooms. Besides spiders and destructible items you find here also a Copper Key. Return to main stairs and go left. Use a passage (screen), passing a Divinity Statue on your way.

SECRET ROOM: If you repeat this mission with Aquila obtained at the tenth level, you can use it just after passing a statue, in the place shown on the screen above. Throw blades at a grapevine and use Angel Boost to get to a newly unlocked room. Here you find another Lost Soul.

Follow the corridor until you reach a room with Sparda's painting. Watch a cut scene and prepare for a battle. In its first part, you'll be attacked by well known monsters, so it shouldn't be problematic.

In the second part of encounter you'll fight with new type of enemies - Death Knight. Avoid its charges and notice its shield. It makes more difficult to perform some attacks, for example with pistols. The best tactic for now is to wait until knight expose himself after an unsuccessful attack, when he is helpless. After a battle approach the painting, what gives you a new weapon - demonic axe, Arbiter.

I recommend to read list of Arbiter's basic attacks which will be displayed. Notice also, that for using this weapon (instead of Rebellion) you have to press and hold particular button/trigger. Test the weapon at new group of enemies. You should observe that this one is much better than your sword when it comes to crushing shields.

Use the only one available exit and move forward. SECRET AREA: If you repeat this mission with Angel Boost from the third level, you can fly to a Lost Soul (1st screen) after reaching huge breach. If it is your first time here, jump into the breach, turn around and save a Lost Soul shown on the second screen.

SECRET LOCK: If you repeat this mission with Eryx gauntlets from the sixth level, you can use them to destroy a glowing red fragment of the floor. You have to use an attack called Stomp, hitting the red mark on the floor. Inside you find an Argent Key.

Resume walking until you return to the main hall, where you've already been. You'll be attacked by a new wave of monsters. Remember to use your new axe, especially against Death Knights.

Watch the cut scene after a battle. To reach the door shown in it, you have go upstairs and choose the right balcony. Place yourself next to the door with red marks and use Arbiter (standard attack) to destroy it. After that, free Lost Soul sticking out from a wall over destroyed door and move on.

SECRET ROOM: If you repeat this mission with angelic scythe Osiris, stop where the screen above shows and destroy blue grapevine with it. Enter unlocked room, where you find a Lost Soul.

Get to the another room. A standard encounter awaits here, with more Death Knights. Defeat them all and see the cut scene which transfers Dante to the Dream World.
