If you’re jumping into Devil May Cry 5, the high stakes it throws your way from the very first moments, alongside its flashy combat, are more than enough to urge you to push on past its prologue. Doing so, however, will make it easy to miss the game’s secret ending, and the achievement associated with it.
Here’s how you get Devil May Cry 5’s Secret Ending.
How to Get The Secret Ending in Devil May Cry 5
Not long into Devil May Cry 5’s prologue, you’ll run into Urizen, the game’s big baddie, sitting on his massive throne. You get to fight him as Nero although, given how his attacks pack a serious wallop, you’re likely to lose the first time around, kicking you into the cutscene that progresses the story.
In order to get the secret ending in Devil May Cry 5 you’ll actually need to defeat Urizen during the prologue. The quickest way to do that is to wait until you’ve unlocked the Heaven or Hell difficulty, which makes it so that both you and your foes die in just one hit.
You can, technically, get the secret ending in Devil May Cry 5 at any point, although you’re going to need godlike prediction skills when it comes to Urizen’s powerful attacks, as well as a ton of patience. In order to defeat Urizen, you need to whittle down his crystal’s health, after which you can actually deal damage to the boss himself.
Downing Urizen unlocks both Devil May Cry 5’s secret ending and the Well I’ll Be Damned achievement.
