Devil May Cry 2 cheats & more for PlayStation 2 (PS2)

Hints

Defeating Tanks

The easiest way I have found to defeat the tanks is to stand right in front of them and slash at them with your sword.

Defeating The Tank

One of the bosses is a mutated army tank. One of the easiest ways beating it is whenever the tank's rocket launcher moves to you, you quickly run to different spots over and over, while shooting at it with either the two pistols or a shotgun, which is faster.

Mission 17: Hidden Area

Go to mission 17 after you have the Staff Of Hermes. Then, go to the painting on the left. You will end up in a familiar room in the castle. Find the stairs and go up all the way until you reach a red door. Once inside, you will be in a room with two more paintings. Once again, choose the left painting. You will end up in the castle yard. You will (under easy-auto only) fight about three Plasma. Try to make them multiply as much as possible. When you have finished them, go through the door then go back out. Note: They may not always reappear. If they do not, go in and come out until they do so. Do not use guns against them. They only multiply in their human form.

Mission 16: Hidden Area

On this mission, you will enter a room where you will find the item named Sacrilege. Get the item to make the energy balls stop coming at you. Then, on the floor directly under the balcony where the item was located, there will be a wall that resembles a door. Press Circle in front of that wall and it will open a secret room.

Mission 10: Hidden Area

After defeating the giant butterfly and the larvae, you will go down a set of stairs. After the game loads, go to the first set of doors you see and press Circle to enter another hidden room.

Mission 7: Hidden Area

At the very end of the mission, before entering the door that leads to the roof, press Circle at the door to the left.

Mission 5: Hidden Area

When you enter the barricaded area, go to Dante's left and fall off the cliff. There are several medium Red Orbs. Follow that until the end. There will be an Orb Dispenser. Go just to the left of the Orb Dispenser to find a garage-type door. Press Circle, and there will be plenty of Homromsira in there.

Mission 3 : Hidden Areas

Before or after the cargo elevator trip, you will reach a door located between two other doors with just a couple of stair steps. Stand in front of the door on the left side of the screen and press Circle to enter a secret room.

Mission 4 : Hidden Area

When you start, look for the first door on your left. It is not very big and is sticking out slightly. Approach it and press Circle. It will lead to a secret area where big flying creatures attack you.

Floating Enemies

To get smaller enemies to float in the air, repeatedly shoot them with the pistols. Early on in the game this helps to keep enemies from hitting you. If there are a lot of enemies, you can jump, wait a second, and then start shooting again on one enemy while be avoiding the rest.
