Defeating Possessed Arius
Note: You can only fight Possessed Arius as Lucia. When you get to the second to last mission (after the part where you are in the Big Urobos Buildiing Corps.), you will have to fight Possessed Arius. He is also in Devil Trigger Mode. To defeat him, find the Embaka and have it upgraded to at least level 2 or 3. Have your Arsenal, Throwing Daggers, upgraded to level 2. While fighting, keep jumping in the air and pressing Square rapidly until you fall. At least every five to ten seconds, Possessed Arius will charge up (purple flames will form around his body). He will charge at you. Jump in the air and keep pressing Square. When he is behind you while you a're in the air, he might jump at you on the ground. When he falls, attack him with Triangle. It is the best way to get your Devil Trigger gauge at full power. If your Devil Trigger gauge is half to full, go into Devil Trigger mode. Keep attacking him; you will rarely ever fall down while you attack in Devil Trigger mode. When his life is in the red, he will take one of the pipe-like things on his back that always move and jam it into the ground, causing it to pop up occasionally, He will not die, but will transform another time.
You do not need to have anything leveled up for this trick, but you will need the Speed Amulet. Equip the Throwing Daggers. When you start out in the pit, run as far from him as possible. Throw daggers at him until he is almost close enough to hit you, then Devil Trigger and run under him to the other side of the pit. Repeat this strategy. Note: Your Devil Trigger should charge up just enough. If you defeat the second form quickly and you do this trick on the third form correctly, you should be able to get an "S" rank for time, and high ranking for damage, although style will probably get a "D" rank.
Defeating the "Three Heads"
When you enter a certain room, you will get transported to another dimension. Three heads will attack you at different times. Keep dodging the things that they fire at you. When they get close, before they attack, use the most powerful sword you have. Do this to get your Devil Trigger up, but do not use it until the heads join up. Then, either use the throwing daggers or the handguns. Repeat until they are defeated. Note: When the ice head uses its main attack which fires huge ice pillars at you, you cannot attack the heads until you have destroyed the pillars.
Defeating the Infested Tanks
Have Lucia jump on to the tank. Note: Make sure you have your handguns on. Jump once then fire. Before you land, jump again and fire. When you defeat the first one, do it again. Note: Watch your back, as the other ones might fire a missle. There are three of them.
Easy Defeat of Arius-ArgoSax
For an easy defeat of Arius-ArgoSax, all you have to do is:
1) Hang back as far as you can and shoot your Default long range weapon at him.
2) When he gets near you to shoot the purple goo stuff on you, engage your Devil Trigger, and run the the opposite side of the field.
Now repeat step one, and you can beat him no problem, even on the Must Die mode.
Easy Defeat of Phantom With Dante
With Dante when you are fighting Phantom, use your Flip Escape a lot to avoid his fireballs, and fire eruptions from the ground. Jump on his back, and let loos with your Shotgun, or your RocketLauncher. When your Devil Trigger is filled, engage, jump into the air and hold down Square to shoot at him rapidly. Like this he will die very easily.
Easy Defeat of Phantom with Lucia
Just like Dante, keep using your flip escape to avoid the fireballs, and the fire from the ground. When Phantom approaches, lay down a field of Crankybombs, and time it so he is in the middle of the row. This will eliminate his Health Gauge very fast if you keep it up. When your Devil Trigger is full, engage, run up to Phantom, and use the Rapid Hit combo on him.
Easy game completion
Use the following trick to complete the game easily with Lucia or Dante. Enable the code to get Dante or Lucia's Diesel costume. As well as having the option of another costume, you can repeat any level you have already completed. Simply repeat the easy levels to gain Orbs, and upgrade your characters.
Flame Heart to Heal
You can use the Flame Heart amulet to heal! Once you get it in Mission 7 (Dante), equip it, turn on Devil Trigger (L1), and go stand in some lava. Voila! Instant health.

When you pass mission 16, you can get as many red orbs as desired. Go up and down the elevator, killing all enemies. Remember to mix up your attacks to increase your stylish bonus. Do not use a maxed-out weapon, as this will kill enemies too quickly and not allow you to get your stylish up fast enough. If done correctly, you can get up to 2,500 Red Orbs on each trip up and down the elevator. This may get tedious, but is well worth it when you get to the "Must Die" modes. Save your data when you have the desired number of orbs.

Mission 6: Defeating the "head"
When you are fighting the "head", not when it is the full body, when it falls on the ground and starts shooting lasers, wait for them to stop. You will have a few seconds before it will go into the air again. In that time, run up to it and hit it with your sword on the open mouth. It will do double or triple the damage. When the head floats down to the ground and shoots its lasers, press Circle to flip Dante around to the back of the head. Slash the monster while it is shooting the
lasers. After it is done, using the sword will help Dante's Devil Trigger to fill up. When it is full, it will do even more damage.
