Getting Red Orbs in Devil May Cry 5 fast is going to be a goal for every player. Red orbs act as your currency in the game, so if you want to buy new abilities, items, or Devil Breakers, you’ll need to learn to farm Red Orbs in Devil May Cry 5. Otherwise, you’ll be spending tens of hours just trying to obtain moves for your characters.
Below we describe how to get red orbs in Devil May Cry 5. We’ll also detail the best way we’ve seen to farm them.
How to Get Red Orbs in Devil May Cry 5
There are two primary ways you’ll find Red Orbs in Devil May Cry 5:
- From defeating enemies
- From breaking Red Ore veins
By just playing through the game you’ll rack up a hefty stash of Red Orbs in DMC5, but there are ways to maximize your income. By getting better stylish ranks while fighting enemies, for example, you’ll get more Red Orbs when you defeat each foe.
You can also get a lot of Red Orbs by defeating certain enemies. Red Empusas drop a considerable amount of orbs as you’re hacking away at them, and you can also get a lot from chopping up engorged Qliphoth roots.
How to farm Red Orbs in Devil May Cry 5
If you want to really rake in the orbs, there’s a way to farm them in DMC5. To do this, you have to play until you reach mission 13, at which point you’ll get the Dr. Faust Hat for Dante.
The Dr. Faust hat is kind of a double-edged sword. It can earn you a lot of Red Orbs, but some of its attacks also cost Red Orbs to perform. Also, if you’re interrupted while attacking with it, you’ll lose a chunk of your orb tally.
The key to farming Red Orbs in Devil May Cry 5 is to power up the hat. You’ll want to level up Dr. Faust until it’s at level 4. This allows you to absorb the most Red Orbs possible from enemies, but also leaves you open to lose a substantial amount if you’re hit. It’s also helpful to get the Get More Orbs skill that increases your orb collection radius, but it’s not absolutely necessary.
However, the Dr. Faust hat has an attack that makes farming Red Orbs a cinch. If you switch to Gunslinger with it equipped, hold RB/R1 and tap B/Circle to do an area attack with the hat. Often this will stun enemies and allow you just to keep spamming the same attack until they’re dead. Each time an enemy is hit with this attack, they drop a massive amount of Red Orbs. Enough that you can farm around 100,000 or so a minute if you’re in the right area.
There are several areas in the mid-late parts of the game that have enemy spawners. The trick here is just to keep killing enemies. As long as you don’t destroy the spawners, you can just move around a little and spam your area attack and watch your Red Orb total raise to the roof.

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.
