Rules

(The rules here are specific to this category. Go to this page to find the rules that apply to all Devil May Cry speedruns.)

  • You need to complete all the requirements listed above in every mission before reaching mission 22.
  • Play under the respective difficulty that you're running on.
  • Glitches, and any sort of gameplay exploits are allowed. However, The Special Bonus Save/Quit glitch is NOT allowed.
  • Back-up saves are allowed, but must be created while the runner has control of Dante, not during end-mission menus. Explanation video on how to avoid Save/Quit glitch by Waifu.

Learning

Learning a 100% category may seem daunting at first, but there are ways of making things easier. It's very important to know that each difficulty has significant route difference.

  • For Dante Must Die specifically, it's highly recommended and check Tricks section regarding the boss cycles and if you ever get stuck or lost in certain segment, you can check Speedrun Explained video by Waifu.
  • It's much ideal to start with learning All Collectibles category before you get comfortable enough for this since the excessive Special Bonus</strong> requirement makes the run much more challenging.
  • Make savefiles before each part that you probably have issues with. You can backup and copy the savefiles ( Generally in <Steam-folder>\userdata\<user-id>\631510\remote\ ) into a seperate folder.
  • Make splits. Download a program like Livesplit and setup your splits. It does not matter how bad they are in your first run.

Once you have completed your first run and made savefiles practice the parts you are least confident with then try another run.
