NG+ Dante

Devil May Cry 2 NG+ Dante is a speedrun category in which the player tries to complete the game as fast as possible on a cleared file. The player must start the game with Dante's Disc in a cleared file and reach the final hit against The Despair Embodied as quickly as they can. Using other programs to affect the game or modifying the game with mod is not allowed.

Initially, there are no added restrictions on how the player completes the game until Boomstick Glitch. This glitch is banned until further research proves it to be consistently replicable.

Rules

(The rules here are specific to this category. Go to this page to find the rules that apply to all Devil May Cry 2 speedruns.)

  • You must play on Dante's Disc.
  • Infinite Devil Trigger cheat is not allowed.
  • Difficulties are variables, not sub-categories, so you are able to have up to three different runs on this board (one each for Normal, Hard, and Dante Must Die).
  • Timer stops on the final hit of Despair Embodied.
  • Boomstick Glitch. This glitch is banned until further research proves it to be consistently replicable.

Learning

This is extremely relaxing category where it could help you to improve Dante's movement and menus by significant amount before you jump into NG.

Follow the route notes and be sure to check boss section strategies as they are extremely simple to perform due to how powerful Round Trip is. The only special case is Majin DT for Missions 5, 15, 16, and 18
