Although the game rolls to credits after 20 missions, there is also a Devil May Cry 5 secret ending. It may be obvious, but there is indeed a way to end the game early and doing so will get you an achievement or trophy. But figuring out how to get the Devil May Cry 5 secret ending can be tough. And it can be even tougher to figure out if you can beat the first boss in Devil May Cry 5. Regardless, here’s how to find that secret ending.
Devil May Cry 5 Secret Ending | Can you beat the first boss?
There is secret ending in Devil May Cry 5. To get to this finale, you’ll need to play the prologue again and beat Urizen, that big demon sitting in the giant throne at the end of the level. Killing the first boss may seem impossible because the game plays a cutscene when you die, which makes you expect that you were supposed to lose.
However, eagle-eyed players will notice that the crystal does indeed lose health as you hack away at it. Damaging the crystal enough will cause his shield to fall, which is where you can damage the actual boss. You’ll probably be able to chop off around half of his health before the crystal comes back if you are nimble enough.
But this is pretty difficult as his attacks do a ton of damage and you’ll die in just a few hits. It is highly recommended that you beat the game and then come back and replay the level on normal difficulty. You’ll know his patterns this way and have more health. If you are good enough to beat Urizen in the early stages of the game, you’ll be able prematurely end the game.
One good method is to have all (or some) the charged pistol attacks and continually charge up shots and shoot from a distance. It may take some time but its less dangerous than attacking with your sword.
Devil May Cry 5 Secret Ending | Well I’ll Be Damned trophy/achievement
Killing Urizen at the beginning will net players the Well I’ll Be Damned trophy or achievement, depending on their system. This is a tricky one because the description is vague and it isn’t clear that you can even beat Urizen until the actual boss fight.

A Gallery Featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry Series
Dante (From The Devil May Cry Series) has been one of Capcom's breakout characters since the PlayStation 2 days. Because of this, it only makes sense that he's made the rounds and showed up in other works. From fighting to card games, here are all the cameos of everyone's favorite demon hunter. -
Viewtiful Joe
In the PlayStation 2 re-release of Capcom's stylish brawler, Dante is a fully playable character who must rescue Trish from the same movie monsters that Joe fights. He and Joe strike up a friendship that lasts for the rest of the series. He also gets an appropriate chibi redesign to go with his always fanciful attitude. -
Viewtiful Joe: Red Hot Rumble
Dante returns to the Viewtiful Joe series in the PlayStation Portable port of Red Hot Rumble. This was a multiplayer-focused game that took the series in a more Smash Bros. direction. It's also the last Joe game to see release, although we're all waiting for his return. -
Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne
The game behind the sticker, Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne is the third entry of the original branch of Altus' long-running JRPG franchise. Dante appears as a bonus character and a boss fight for your party, which is fitting since Shin Megami Tensei is all about summoning demons to do your dirty work. -
SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighters DS
Along with loads of characters from both Capcom and SNK, Dante made an appearance as a card in this TCG-focused Nintendo DS game. A follow-up to a string of NeoGeo Pocket games, Card Fighters only features the gaming heroes during the card battles. -
Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds
Dante was one of the most exciting additions to the Marvel vs. Capcom roster when Fate of Two Worlds hit the streets. His brother Vergil also joins the cast in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, letting fans play out the legendary rivalry in a new way. -
Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite
Dante along made the jump to Infinite, the poorly received new entry in this crossover fighting franchise. Still controlling as he did in 3, he's one of the easier characters to learn no matter where you select him. While this is the only fighting series this Dante has appeared in, this isn't the only Dante around. -
PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale
Appearing in his DmC style, Dante was one of the third-party characters battling it out in Sony's attempt at a Smash Bros. game. Several other characters from Ninja Theory's reboot appear in the periphery, including sidekick Kat as a mascot figure. -
Project X Zone
A crossover tactics game featuring the characters of Capcom, Namco Bandai and Sega, Project X Zone finds Dante hanging out with some gaming's most notable demons. His partner in the first entry in the series is Demitri Maximoff, the vampiric protagonist of Darkstalkers. -
Project X Zone 2
In X Zone 2, Vergil joins him and the two brothers utilize franchise specific attacks when used. From Ebony and Ivory to Nevan the shotgun guitar, they're ready to go with their entire arsenal. They also bicker endlessly, which you'd expect from such volatile partners. -
Puzzle Fighter
The latest Dante cameo is also one of the rarest. He was one of the new characters added to Puzzle Fighter, a mobile-only spinoff of the popular Capcom puzzle game that lasted less than a year on mobile storefronts. At least we got one more weird chibi Dante out of the deal.
