AUTHOR'S NOTE
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Welcome. I was originally planning to finish Airforce Delta Strike but got
disappointed soon enough due to the really crappy planes and sluggish control
response. I just remembered that I played this game halfway but never
finished it. I was able to beat the game in normal within the whole day, and
here, I created a walkthrough also.
I've never played the previous installments but Im really interested about
Dante's cool, 'astig' and really kickass character. Not to mention the
controls here are cool and simple. The game also offers a lot of combos to
experiment with. You can even interchange weapons and guns in real time,
giving you a more intense and action-packed brawl.
Just like the faq I created for Drakengard 2, I'll just outline the main things
you should do in the missions. I'll try to note also some hints about the
bosses if needed. The faq is primarily created during normal mode, additions
will be mentioned on the consecutive playthroughs.
In any case there's something missing, incorrect or an addition about the
faq, don't hesitate to email me. I can't promise to personally reply to you
since Im working on a night shift and I take 2 hour long rides fro and to my
home and office. I'll update the faq as needed and I'll automatically give
you credit on my next update.
Have fun!
I just have one question though.... what if Dante and Alicia (Bullet Witch)
pairs together? .....hmnnn...

ABOUT THE GAME -- DEVIL TRIGGER
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Devil Trigger is like the "super mode"; this transforms Dante and Vergil to
their devil forms. During this mode, all their attributes increases
significantly. Not to mention that they recover HP gradually while in this
mode, which could be very handy in a tight battle.
You need to fill your Devil Trigger gauge, composed of Runes by performing
combos, defeating enemies and/or taking damage. You don't need to have a
full "Rune" bar to initiate it. One rune is enough to activate Devil
Trigger; but in a very, very short time only.
Several bonuses are also added by using different devil arms while in Devil
Trigger mode. Refer to the chart below
+- -+- -+- -+-
| BONUS SKILL | DEVIL ARMS | CONTROLS\ EFFECT |
+---------------+-----------------+------------------------------------+
| GLIDE | REBELLION | During a jump, hold R1 + X button. |

ABOUT THE GAME -- WEAPONS -- DANTE
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
GUNS
=====
These are your guns. They are great for blasting, combos and anything else
you can think for a gun. And they come with infinite ammo! Can be upgraded by
spending red orbs to increase damage and other attributes.
EBONY & IVORY - Two .45 caliber, semi automatic handguns. This is Dante's
starting secondary weapon. Although its not that damging
it is a great way to iniate/ continue an air combo since
it allows Dante to 'hover' while firing the guns. The
faster the player presses the fire button, the faster the
firing rate of these pair will be.
SHOTGUN - Its slow rate of fire could be its disadvantage but with
large spread and great stopping power, this is one gun
that you want to use to tame a large group of demons trying
to gangbang you. Not very effective to used in a combo
though.
ARTEMIS - A laser blaster that can lock-on several enemies at once.
Players can charge this weapon before firing for more
devastating shots.
SPIRAL - A large and very powerful sniper rifle that is similar to
a railgun since it can pierce through multiple enemies.
Its firing rate is a bit slower compared to the shotgun but
fires a fatal concentrated shot instead of scattered
shells. Great for taking down/ damaging enemies at a
good distance. You can't target enemies via viewing scope
though.
KALINA ANN - Probably the most damaging weapon you can get. Very powerful,
its rockets deal 'splash damage' than can pwn any enemies
caught within the blast radius. It has good firing rate too;
but its size could limit your movement a bit.
DEVIL ARMS
===========
These are your primary weapons. use with guns for maximum effectivity. They
deal the most damage since you can execute devastating combos with melee
weapons alone. Can be upgraded by spending red orbs to increase damage
and other attributes. The first four styles are the default ones. Quicksilver
and Doppleganger styles must be unlocked first. You need to beat specific
bosses later in the game to unlock these styles.
REBELLION - Dante's detault Weapon. This resembles a broad sword but
our protagonist can still swing it with one hand like its
just a trusted kitchen knife.

a monster carrying a bomb will appear. Do not attempt to slice and
dice him since he automatically deflects melee attacks. Stay
adistance and kill him using gunfire.
-- Just kill the enemies and then, boss will appear.
!!BOSS- HELL VANGUARD
-- This is your first bossfight. Just go near him, and slash away
until he parries your attack. Roll or dodge away after the parry
to avoid his attack. He will be open after that, take the oppurtunity
then attack again.
Time to time, he will teleport to a diffrent spot, just follow him
and attack. When you notice the ground being distorted, immediately
roll over to avoid his attack. Also sometimes he dashes towards you

are on the streets. Use your guns, the barrels or just kill the bombs
first to make the battle quick.

You may want to stay adistance for the meantime. Or you can just hit
and run. Rush towards the boss and hit him until the ice on his heads
chips out. You can also use your guns to do that but this will last
longer.
Attacks:
1. Frost will begin to form in the ground where you're standing.
Roll over to dodge it. Later in the battle, the duration of
the ice rain will be longer, prompting you to evade several
times.
2. Cerberus will shoot ice projectiles from his mouth. You can parry
it for some green (healing) orbs if you have good aim or timing.
He will be open during this attack so if you're not in the actual
line of fire, you can go to his side, hit his foot and then take
time to hit one of his downed heads until he recovers completely.
3. Halfway on his health, he will start to "pounce" towards you,
knocking you off and dealing heavy damage. You may want to
anticipate his attack to evade quickly. He will lean back, ready
to jump towards you. The chains will retract him back, giving you
ample time to abuse this vulnerability. Keep on attacking him until
he reaches his original position.
4. Also, he will stomp the ground, sprouting out ice shards from the
ground. He will also begin to move faster as he nears death.
5. His basic attacks include bite, strike, shockwave. He will do it
if you stay close to him for too long.

"...Find the key to the stars"
[GIANTWALKER CHAMBER]
Bloodgoyles will attack you. You need to turn them to stone first
before you can actually kill them. To do that, hit them first using
your guns until they become stones then hit them with your melee
weapons until they break. They will turn back from stone to blood
form if you leave them for a short period of time. And also, they
multiply if you attempt to hit them with a melee weapon in thier
blood form.
Portal will appear. Take it to a boss battle.
!!BOSS- JESTER
"Jester's gonna spank your butt, spank you in the buuuttt!"
Ok, this is the additional boss for DMC3:SP. This guy is very
predictable, and you can always anticipate what's he's going to
do. When he does his taunt just blast your guns at him. He will
dance to dodge the bullets, then teleports far away from you,
fanning himself. This is the time to attack him your melee weapons.
Attacks:
1. He will charge and portals will appear behind him. You need to
roll over to avoid the projectiles being thrown at you.
2. Several charged spheres will appear and encircle the area. You
can also destroy a distinct green sphere to get a healing orb.
You can also try running and hitting him in between the attacks.
Just enter the portal and you will taken back.
[GIANTWALKER CHAMBER]
Head to the exit to go back to the Chamber of Echoes.
[CHAMBER OF ECHOES]
Go to the top, there should be panel where you can put the
ASTRONOMICAL BOARD. An item should be accessible now, and also a
magical "trampoline" that allows you to jump really high.
Go to the fourth floor on the left part of the chamber, examine the
shiny thingy on the panel to obtain VAJURA. Go to the third floor
and through the blue door again.
[ENTRANCEWAY]
Kill the enemies that are in your way and continue to next area

Also, get an "ALRIGHT!" rank using the Combat Adjudicator with
Cerberus to obtain another BLUE ORB FRGMNT.
[ENDLESS INFERNUM]

Defeat all enemies without taking damage.
Two Enigmas are initially visible on the screen. The other two are
offscreen on the left and right. Having the Trickster style here is
really helpful. Just try to score a few basic hits then roll when the
arrows are fired. Defeat all of them, mission completes.
Obtain BLUE ORB FRGMNT.

Light up the firewheel then jump on the elevator. Enemies will ambush
you, so just fight them off or better yet, just hit them until they're

Destroy all breakable items to obtain orbs, then leap up to the walls
to get some more. Head to the next door.
[FIRESTORM CHAMBER]
!!BOSS - AGNI (WEAK VS. ICE) & RUDRA
This two mimics each other. If one attacks, you can definitely
anticipate the other. They will dash, slash or jump at you.
Just concentrate your hits on one of them if given a chance, if
you're using Cerberus, it will kill Agni easier.
Also, you can knock thier weapons by doing a jump attack, leaving
them vulnerable and you can deal twice the damage. Also, if you
defeat one of them, the other one will take the other sword, equipping
it. Just take note of thier attack patterns and you should do fine.
Just remember that there would be chances when you can attack them
open. Most of the time, they will yell when they'll gonna do an attack
There'll also be times that they will charge thier swords. During that
time, you can rush in and score a few slashes.
Try to attack them from behind as much as possible. Also, you can
parry thier own attack to disarm them for a brief period of time.
After defeating them, you will obtain AGNI & RUDRA twin swords.

"...Clear the trial and forge a new path"
[MUTE GODDESS' CHAMBER]
Get the red orbs on top of the statue. Head through the red door.
[CHAMBER OF THREE TRIALS]
The door on the right is blocked by rock debris and you need to pass
at least two trials to get two essences, needed to power up the laser
and clear the path for you. Get three and you will obtain a fairly
neat weapon. You can choose whichever path you want.
The rooms and trials are:
TRIAL OF THE WARRIOR -- Right door
TRIAL OF SKILL -- Middle door
TRIAL OF WISDOM -- Left door
I suggest taking the Trials of Wisdom and Skill first since they're
easier. But again, it's up you.
[TRIAL OF WISDOM ]
"Your wisdom will be put to the test in the chamber ahead. Use your
lifetime experience: from the crawling infant; to the man standing
tall; and finally to the old man-leaning on his cane."
This is one age-old phrase. An infant walks on four legs, a man walks
on two while and old man leaning on his cane is three. Use the pattern
to find the correct path.
If you happen to enter the wrong door, you will need to defeat all
enemies to exit. You just need to enter 3 correct doors to get to the
chamber that contains the Essence of Intelligence. Exit through any
door.
[TRIAL OF SKILL]
The essence is located in the far-most end of the room. You need to
dodge the series of spikes in all directions. After obtaining the
Essence of Technique, enemies will appear. Defeat them then leave
the room.
[TRIAL OF THE WARRIOR]
Take note of the enemies here. You can't stop them while they still
have the purple shades on them. You need to light up both firewheels
completely to release the shades and make them vulnerable. Also,
the firewheels only stay lit for a few seconds. You need to light
them again if you notice the purple shades back on the enemies.
Just defeat them all to obtain the Essence of Fighting.
After obtaining the essences, examine the odd looking statue. After
putting two of the essences, a laser will fire, clearing your path.
Put in the third essence and you will obtain ARTEMIS.
Head through the door.
[DARK CORRIDOR]
Use Agni & Rudra on the Combat Adjudicator and try to get an

doing this myself so you can figure out other ways that suits you
well.
Just remember that Air Hike, Ebony& Ivory's rapid blast in mid-air,
weapon switching, and jumping off enemies actually helps.
You will recieve a BLUE ORB FRGMNT after completing this mission.

Your path will be blocked by several statues. Break them into pieces.
Continue forth. Just ignore the door with skull statues for now. Head
to the left corridor, obtain a Vital Star S on the right railing.
Enter door.
[TRANQUIL SOUL ROOM]
You will need to clear the rooms of enemies in order to proceed. Go
to the statue where the candles are lit and new monsters will appear.
These guys call in reinforcements by sticking thier coffins in the
ground, leaving them open to attacks as well. In future battles, you
need to get rid of these guys first. Also, you will know if they're
gonna swing at you if they raise thier coffins.
Obtain SIREN'S SHRIEK from the altar after clearing the room of
enemies. Go to the next area.

Door behind you will close. Run up the walkway to initiate boss
battle.
[PEAK OF DARKNESS]
!!BOSS - VERGIL
His attacks are fairly powerful yet predictable. You need to dodge
his attacks and when you have the chance, hit him. When he teleports,
expect that he will appear on your side, ready to strike. Roll away
to evade. Also, just let him finish the combo he started so that he
will be open for a few hits.
Near the end of the battle, he will send out a dimensional wave
towards you, so just roll to evade it. You can also use your guns
when you're at a distance. Also, Vergil can dash towards you rapidly
so watch for it.
Not to mention that he has a technique where he will teleport towards
you and begin a combo. You should be able to get through this battle
fine.

by the defeated basic enemies (Hell Envies) while the blue one
drains your Devil Trigger gauge. They will try the mob you and you
need to actually inflict serious damage on both red and blue hearts
to expose the weakness of the main heart. Also, attacking with your
guns in the air helps. Note that when the hearts turns red, its about
to fire a laser. Just make sure you anticipate this and evade. Another
this is if you manage to own a holy water, you can use it here. It can
damage all hearts seriously.
