Introduction: * ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Hello, and welcome to my FAQ. As you all should know this is the 3rd DMC series, and like any other DMC game, there are Blue Orb Fragments located all over the game (and some are awarded after the completion of Secret Missions). It is highly recommended that you find all the Blue Orb Fragments as this will increase the health capacity of your life bar. You are also required to buy additional Blue Orbs from the Divinity Statues. Secret Missions are available within some of the regular Missions. That is, you can trigger a particular Secret Mission by examining a certain object within its corresponding Mission. For example, Secret Mission 1 is triggered by examining a particular door in Mission 3. In section 5 of this FAQ, I have listed down the locations and the objects to be examined in order to trigger each of the Secret Missions available in the game. There are a total of 12 Secret Missions available throughout the entire game. You will still be able to continue through the game even if you are not able to complete any of the Secret Missions. And fear not, the storyline of the game will not be disrupted if you decide to do so. However, this is not advisable because the clearance of a Secret Mission is very rewarding, which is a Blue Orb Fragment. A Blue Orb Fragment will only be awarded after the player succeeds in clearing the Secret Mission ONCE. If you decide to repeat a cleared Secret Mission, your reward will be a really large Red Orb instead of a Blue Orb Fragment. So it's very important that the player clears each Secret Mission at least once. Blue Orb Fragments that are obtained throughout the Missions of the game (including those rewarded in the Secret Missions) are only fragments of a full Blue Orb piece. After you've obtained four of these Blue Orb Fragments, the four fragments will then merge to become one full Blue Orb piece. This full Blue Orb piece now is the same as those that can be purchased at any of the Divinity Statues. After obtaining one full Blue Orb, one additional bar of life will then be added to your total health capacity. So in other words: 1. You find Blue Orb Fragments in the Missions and Secret Missions of the game. Four Blue Orb Fragments equals to one full Blue Orb piece. 2. You purchase full Blue Orb pieces from the Divinity Statues. After obtaining all the Blue Orb Fragments and purchasing all of the full Blue Orb pieces, your total health capacity will reach its maximum amount, which is a total of 20 bars of life. There are many ways in obtaining the Blue Orb Fragments located throughout the game, especially after you've completed the game once. After completing the game once, you would have (or should have) collected all the Styles and weapons available in the game. The characteristics and actions of each weapon will further aid you in your quest of obtaining all the Blue Orb Fragments and the completion of all the Secret Missions in the game. One last note, the tips stated in this FAQ is aimed at helping you obtain all the Blue Orb Fragments (and clearing all the Secret Missions) the first time through the game. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* * 4. Combat Adjudicators: * ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Combat Adjudicators are statue-looking structures located all over the game. Whenever a Combat Adjudicator is destroyed, the player is rewarded with a Blue Orb Fragment. Each Combat Adjudicator can be destroyed by meeting two basic requirements: 1. By using the weapon specified. 2. By meeting the Stylish Rank specified. The amount of flames present on the Combat Adjudicator determines the Stylish Rank required in order to break the Combat Adjudicator. The more flames present, the higher the required Stylish Rank is. Meeting requirement "1" should not be a problem. I've listed down which specific weapon should be used for each Combat Adjudicator in the section below. The tricky part is meeting requirement "2". Some Combat Adjudicators are just free Blue Orb Fragments waiting to be taken, while others can be really frustrating. The key to meeting requirement "2" is by circling your moves. This means that you should try NOT to repeat the same move twice in a row. It would be better if you could line-up your moves in a particular sequence, beginning the sequence with one move and then ending the sequence with another move. After that, just repeat the cycle from your beginning move, and continue to do so until the Combat Adjudicator finally breaks apart. Let us use Rebellion as an example. Here are some of the moves for Rebellion: A) Triangle, Triangle, Triangle {Rebellion Combo I} B) Triangle, (pause) Triangle, Triangle {Rebellion Combo II} C) Triangle, (pause) Triangle, (mash) Triangle {Combo II into Million Stab} D) Hold down R1 + (Tilt the left analog stick towards Dante's forward) + Triangle {Stinger} E) Hold down R1 + (Tilt the left analog stick towards Dante's forward) + (mash) Triangle {Stinger into Million Stab} F) In air Triangle {Helm Breaker} G) Hold down R1 + (Tilt the left analog stick towards Dante's back) + Triangle {High Time} Now, start lining-up the sequence you would prefer. I have listed three sequences as an example. Sequence I:- A), D), C), G), F), repeat from A) Sequence II:- C), D), A), G), F), B), repeat from C) Sequence III:- C), A), E), F), G), A), repeat from C) From the three sequences listed above, it can be noted that Seqeunce I is the most effective. Here's why: In Sequence II, the beginning move is C), and the ending move is B). Although they are listed as two different "moves", but in actual fact, the first two "slashing animations" that Dante does are the same. Notice that both of this moves have "Triangle, (pause) Triangle,... Therefore, the first two hits will be registered as a set of repetitive moves. Thus, this two hits will cause your Stylish Rank to decrease. For Sequence III, the beginning move and the ending move are totally different. However, the part where "C), A), E)" is listed will cause your Stylish Rank to decrease. This is because the "slashing animation" for the last hit of C) and E) are the same. Therefore, a set of repetitive moves will be registered. As you can see, none of this happens in Seqeunce I. Which proves it to be the most effective. So, in short you should: 1. Practice all the moves available for the particular weapon. Get all of them done right. 2. List down a non-repetitive sequence. You can do it! Get creative! This goes for all the other types of weapons as well. Below are some sequences for the other types of weapons. Please note that I did not purchase any moves for any of the weapons (except for Nevan's Air Raid). It will be much easier if you purchase all the moves available for each weapon beforehand. -Cerberus: A) Triangle, Triangle, Triangle, Triangle, Triangle {Cerberus Combo I} B) Triangle, Triangle, (pause) Triangle, Triangle {Cerberus Combo II} C) Triangle, Triangle, (pause) (mash) Triangle {Satellite} D) Hold down R1 + (Tilt the left analog stick towards Dante's forward) + Triangle {Revolver} F) In air Triangle {Swing} Sequence: A), C), D), F), A), B), D), F), repeat from beginning of sequence -Agni and Rudra: A) Triangle, Triangle, Triangle, Triangle, Triangle {A&R Combo I} B) Triangle, (pause) Triangle, Triangle {A&R Combo II} C) Triangle, (pause) Triangle, (pause) Triangle {A&R Combo III} D) Triangle, (pause) Triangle, (pause) (mash) Triangle {Million Slash} E) Hold down R1 + (Tilt the left analog stick towards Dante's forward) + Triangle {Jet-Stream} F) In air Triangle {Aerial Cross} Sequence: A), D), E), B), F), repeat from beginning of sequence -Nevan: *Note: I equiped Swordmaster Style. To change into Tune-Up stance, just hit Triangle while Dante is on the ground. A) (Keep left analog stick in neutral position) + Triangle while in Tune-Up stance {Nevan Combo I} B) (Tilt the left analog stick towards Dante's left) + Triangle while in Tune-Up stance {Nevan Combo II} C) (Tilt the left analog stick towards Dante's right) + Triangle while in Tune-Up mode {Nevan Combo III} D) (Tilt the left analog stick towards Dante's left) + (mash) Triangle while in Tune-Up stance {Jam Session} E) Hold down R1 + (Tilt the left analog stick towards Dante's back) + Triangle {Bat Rift} F) Cricle {Slash} Sequence: A), C), D), E), F), repeat from beginning of sequence -Beowulf: *Note: Most of Beowulf's moves can be charged. The charge version of a move can be done by holding down the move's respective button (either Triangle or Circle, depending on which move) for a short period of time, and then releasing the button after allowing Dante to charge the move. It seems that Beowulf's normal moves can be repeated by using their respective charge versions. For example, Normal version -> Charged version -> Next move -> Next move (charged version) You'll get what I mean once you've tried it out. A) Triangle, Triangle, Triangle {Beowulf Combo I} B) Triangle, Triangle, (pause) Triangle, Triangle {Beowulf Combo II} C) Triangle, Triangle, (pause) (mash) Triangle {Hyper Fist} D) (charge) Triangle, (charge) Triangle, (pause) (charge) Triangle, (charge) Triangle {Combo II charged version} E) Hold down R1 + (Tilt the left analog stick towards Dante's forward) + Triangle {Straight} F) In air Triangle {Killer Bee} Sequence: A), C), E), F), D), repeat from beginning of sequence The sequences listed above are just samples. It is not a necessity that you follow it exactly. You can always come up with your own sequence. Whichever way works for you. I personally prefer simple and short sequences. The longer and more "fancy" your sequences are, the harder it is for you to remember them. Remember that I did not include moves that are purchased from the Divinity Statue and moves from the Swordmaster Style (except for Nevan, whereby moves from a Level 1 Swordmaster Style were used). If those moves are included, the variety of sequences that you can come up with are endless. However, I found it rather difficult to purchase all the moves as well as obtain a Level 3 Swordmaster Style at the earlier stages of the game. Therefore, I decided to use the basic moves that were already available (and some moves from the Level 1 Swordmaster Style, which was used with Nevan). Tips: 1. Try using the Swordmaster Style. The circle (action) button gives you a few extra moves. It'll be even better if you've achieved a Level 3 Swordmaster Style. 2. Never panic when you notice your Stylish Rank decreasing. Just quickly pause the game and start coming up with a new sequence. Your Stylish Rank won't decrease when the game is paused. Once you've got a new sequence, just resume the game. 3. Use the "Crazy Combo" Move (such as Million Stab or Satellite) of each weapon. These Moves are without a doubt crucial in destroying Combat Adjudicators. However, if not properly placed within a sequence, these Moves might backfire and cause your Stylish Rank to decrease REALLY FAST! Just be sure to place them well, and don't spam the moves too much. 4. Always remember, the Combat Adjudicator test both your skill and creativity in executing combos. The better you vary your combo sequence, the quicker your Stylish Rank will increase. Well, that's about it. There's no shortcut to it. Just follow the steps and tips listed above and add in a little patience, and you'll surely be able to destroy all the Combat Adjudicators. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* * 5. BLUE ORB FRAGMENTS & SECRET MISSION LOCATIONS: * ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* >~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~< # 5.1 - Mission 3: The Devils Tower # <~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~> 13th Avenue:- Upper platform on the right of the screen. 13th Avenue:- Combat Adjudicator(Statue) on the platform left of the screen. 13th Avenue:- Secret Mission 1. The door on the right side of the screen just after the garbage collector. Secret Mission 1 Title - The Exorcist. Secret Mission 1 Objective:- Kill everyone within the time limit. >~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~< # 5.2 - Mission 4: The Unwanted One # <~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~> Incandescent Space:- Above the door which leads back to the Chamber of Echoes. Impossible to miss. >~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~< # 5.3 - Mission 5: Of Devils and Swords # <~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~> Endless Infernum:- The Combat Adjudicator (Statue) across of the room to Gigapede (the one where the stairs fall off, and you drop into the chamber of sins). Need to use Cerberus. Surge of Fortunas:- Secret Mission 2. The red structure next to the circular seal. Secret Mission 2 Title - Untouchable. Secret Mission 2 Objective:- Kill everyone without being hit. >~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~< # 5.4 - Mission 6: Family Ties # <~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~> The Dark Corridor:- Combat Adjudicator (Statue) next to the blue door. Need to use Agni and Rudra. >~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~< # 5.5 - Mission 7: A Chance Meeting # <~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~> The Dark Corridor:- Secret Mission 3. The red structure in a hole on the right of the brown door. Secret Mission 3 Title - Death From Above. Secret Mission 3 Objective:- Stay in the air for 20 seconds. (Tip: Try alternating Swordmaster's Aerial Rave with gun shots. Try to "aim" yourself to land on the heads of the Hell Prides, then quickly off their heads. Air Hike when you have to. Keep repeating this process until you've reached the time limit.) (Alternative tip: If you stand in one of the corners and let the Hell Prides follow you, you can jump, then Wall Hike, and then jump off the Hell Prides to remain in the air.) Pitch-Black Void:- Head to the stairs leading to the blue door. At the horizontal beams area above the stairs. It's floating somewhere above the middle beam. Lift Room:- Combat Adjudicator (Statue). Need to use Rebellion. >~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~< # 5.6 - Mission 8: A Renewed Fear # <~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~> Leviathan's Stomach:- On the ship. Leviathan's Stomach:- Secret Mission 4. Jump off the ship. Destroy the barriers on the bottom left of the ship and examine the blue structure behind. Secret Mission 4 Title - Devil's Teetor-Totter. Secret Mission 4 Objective:- Avoid overweighing the elevator to get it to the top. (Tip: This is one tough cookie. The truth is, there isn't any actual tip for this. If your planning of getting this done the first time through, then you're gonna need a lot of practice and patience. When the Hell Prides board the elevator, start attacking the one which is not in a guarding stance. If possible, try to make sure that your attack lands on all of them. That way, you'll be able to deal damage to the one that's not guarding, and at the same time knock the guarding ones towards the edge of the elevator. If all of them are in a guarding stance, just stop attacking for a moment, wait for anyone of them to let down its guard, and then resume attacking. Once you see anyone of them stagger backwards, immediately Stinger it off the elevator. Just remember, you have to try to hit more than one enemy when you're attacking, otherwise you'll never make it to the next wave of Hell Prides. Shotgun moves like Fireworks, Gun Stinger and Point Blank would be useful if you have a Level 3 Gunslinger Style equipped. If you still can't clear this Secret Mission, just come back next time when you've finished the game once. Then equip yourself with Kalina Ann and blast away!) (Alternative Tip 1: Equip Royal Guard Style Level 2. Stand in the center on the elevator. When the Hell Prides Appear, they'll immediately attack you. Use Block & Charge to absorb their attacks. When you've successfully absorbed 8 hits, quickly use Release. This will vaporize all of them in one attack. Just repeat the procedure for the next few waves until you reach the Blue Orb Fragment.) (Alternative Tip 2: Equip Gunslinger Style together with Shotgun. When the first wave of Hell Prides appear on the elevator, quickly use Fireworks to push them to the edge of the elevator, then just slash them off. Just repeat this until you reach the top.) (Alternative Tip 3: Start stocking up on Holy Water before you begin this Secret Missions. You'll be able to find at least two Holy Water items lying around the areas in few missions before hand. Use one for each wave of Hell Prides. One Holy Water is enough to deal with a wave of them. Just repeat the procedure until you obtain the Blue Orb Fragment at the top.) (Alternative Tip 4: Equip yourself with Swordmaster Style Level 3 together with Agni and Rudra. Start the secret mission and wait in the middle of the elevator for the first wave to appear. Once they appear, perform "Twister" (R1 + back left analog stick + circle) and then followed-up with "Tempest" (repeatedly press circle during twister move). If you do it right and all enemies are hit, they won't be killed but one more hit with any close range weapon and they will be dead. Repeat for all waves and your done.) {Warning! If you want to play this game legitimately, just skip this part. Alright guys, I've been receiving LOTS of mail regarding this issue. First of all, this technique really is a glitch. Second, this glitch was intentionally implemented by the developers as a type of safety precaution for the game. I've noticed that when the glitch is performed, some of the Hell Prides accidentally leap of the elevator while chasing after you (which makes this legitimate), whilst others just disappear without a trace (which makes this illegitimate). Therefore, I can't really conclude whether this is an illegitimate glitch or not. All I can say is, a glitch is a glitch. Don't use this if you want to play fair. Here's how you do it. Equip yourself with Trickster. When the elevator is rising, wait for the first wave of Hell Prides to appear. As soon as they appear, jump towards the wall which is located north of the elevator, then Wall Hike up that wall. At the end of the Wall Hike animation, quickly Air Hike BACK onto the elevator. You'll notice that all the Hell Prides have disappeared. Just repeat the process for the next few waves of Hell Prides until you reach the top of the room. Note: It's not necessary for you to use the wall on the north to do it. You can also try using any of the "pillars" located at any corner of the elevator to perform this trick. Just use whichever one that you prefer.} Leviathan's Intestines:- After obtaining the "Ignis Fatuus" item in the Leviathan's Retina, head on to the next area (which is the Leviathan's Intestines). Stay on the left along the path. You will notice a small pathway on the left, which leads to a Combat Adjudicator (Statue) at the end of it. Need to use Cerberus. >~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~< # 5.7 - Mission 9: Faded Memories # <~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~> Subterranean Garden:- Above the Divinity Statue. Need to use Trickster and Air Hike. (Tip: Wall Hike on the wall left of the Divinity Statue. As soon as you see Dante will do a "backwards leap animation" at the end of the Wall Hike, immediately Air Hike into the platform above the Divinity Statue.) (Alternative Tip: Needs Level 2 Trickster Style Equipped. Do an Air Hike in front of the Divinity Statue. Then shoot once with the handguns immediately followed by a Sky Star. Dante will "float" a little higher when you fire the handguns once.) Limestone Cavern:- Secret Mission 5. After going through the waterfall, keep an eye out on the right side of the path. You will notice a small passage hole, which leads to a pair of crystal-like structures. Examine them to enter the Secret Mission. Secret Mission 5 Title - Destroyer. Secret Mission 5 Objective:- Destroy all 50 breakable items. Subterranean Lake:- Combat Adjudicator (Statue) at opposite ends of the Divinity Statue. Which means that you'll pass by the Divinity Statue and the waterfall before you reach it. You'll need to use Nevan, so go defeat her first, then come back later (or you could even come back in some of the next few missions). >~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~< # 5.8 - Mission 10: The Job # <~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~> Subterranean Lake:- Secret Mission 6. After using the "Stone Mask" to raise the bridge. Cross the bridge to reach a giant statue. Examine the blue skull on the back right of the statue. Secret Mission 6 Title - Flight of the Demon. Secret Mission 6 Objective:- Collect all 40 orbs within the time limit. (Tip: Use Trickster and MUST equip yourself with Nevan's Air Raid. Use Air Raid to obtain the orbs that are floating very high at the beginning of the Secret Mission. Don't forget to fill up your Devil Trigger gauge before starting the Secret Mission.) >~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~< # 5.9 - Mission 11: Revenge # <~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~> Gears of Madness :- Secret Mission 7. Before reaching the yellow door at the end of this area. You will notice a ledge somewhere at the left of the yellow door. Jump onto the ledge then Air Hike onto the platform above it. Examine the red seal there. Secret Mission 7 Title - Hang 10. Secret Mission 7 Objective:- Obtain the Blue Orb Fragment within the time limit. (Tip: Try to Free Ride your way to the end.) (Alternative tip: If you do it on your way back in Mission 12 after obtaining the Haywire Neo Generator, you'll have infinite Devil Trigger. Now you can just run all the way to the end and grab the Blue Orb Fragment. Watch your health though.) Altar Of Evil Pathway:- Above you, at the entrance. Use the pipe lines to reach it. Temperance Wagon:- Combat Adjudicator (Statue). Beneath the stairs that you came from. Need to use Agni and Rudra. >~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~< # 5.10 - Mission 13: Chaos' Warm Welcome # <~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~> Spiral Staircase:- Secret Mission 8. Examine the red light on the wall. Secret Mission 8 Title - Tough Guys. Secret Mission 8 Objective:- Kill all the enemies. Obsidian Path:- Combat Adjudicator (Statue). Need to use Nevan. >~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~< # 5.11 - Mission 14: Drive # <~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~> Lair of Judgment Ruins:- Combat Adjudicator (Statue). Need to use Beowulf. Vertibule:- Secret Mission 9. When you reach an area with blue flame stands on both sides of the pathway, Wall Hike above the left blue flame to enter a crack in the wall. Examine the blue light in the crack. Secret Mission 9 Title - Target Practice. Secret Mission 9 Objective:- Do not let even one enemy escape. (Tip: Equip yourself with Gunslinger Style and shoot down every last one of them! Equipping this Style is not a must, but it does make things a lot easier. If you can tap your guns fast enough, then just ignore this tip.) Hell's Highway:- After defeating all the Damned Chess Pieces, go through the last gate and grab the Blue Orb Fragment. >~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~< # 5.12 - Mission 15: The Gatecrasher # <~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~> Underground Arena:- At the Top Subterria Lock area, hit the dial TWICE which is attached to the statue. Make sure that it rotates TWICE! The colours on the dial with "pie" like segments should be in the order as stated below: a) Top-Left segment Red. b) Top-Right segment Purple. c) Bottom segment Blue. Then go through the door on the left of the statue. You will enter the Marble Throughway. Just go forward through the rooms, which are the Devilsprout Lift and then the Spiral Corridor. You will then reach the Underground Arena. From there, just jump down to ground level. The Blue Orb Fragment is located somewhere around this area. >~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~< # 5.13 - Mission 16: Win or Lose # <~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~> Waking Sun Chamber:- Secret Mission 10. The door on the right of the Golden Sun Altar. Secret Mission 10 Title - Guiding Light. Secret Mission 10 Objective:- Solve the Crystal Puzzle. There are a few puzzle types for this Secret Mission. Here are the solutions for those that I've found so far: Legend: C = Reflective Crystals X = Reflective Crystals to Break S = Statue W = Breakable Wall ____________ _______________ ______________ ______________ Type 1: Type 2: Type 3: Type 4: ------------ --------------- -------------- -------------- +---------+ +-----------+ +-----------+ +-----------+ | C | | C X C C | | C C C | | S S | | C C C | | C X C | | C X C | | X S C | | | | | | | | C | | X | | S C C | | C C | | C C C C | | | | | | | | C | | C | | C X C | | C X C | | C X C | | | | | | | | C | | C S C | | C X C | | C C | | C C C X C | | C X C | | C X X | | S X C | | C C C | | | | | | | | C | | S X C | | C S C S | | S C C X | | C C | | C | +-----------+ | C C C | +-----------+ | C C C | +-----------+ +---------+ ____________ ___________________ Type 5: Type 6: ------------ ------------------- +-----------+ +---------------+ | C | | | S | | S C | | | X | | X X C X C | | C C W C | | C C C | | C C C S |---+ | S C X C | | C C C C | | C C X | | C C | | X C C | | C C X C | | C S | | X | +-----------+ | C S C | +-----------+ >~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~< # 5.14 - Mission 17: Inner Demons # <~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~> Azure Garden:- A Blue Orb Fragment can be found in a small room on the left of this area. God-Cube Chamber:- Combat Adjudicator (Statue). On the right end (ground level) of the God-Cube Chamber. Need to use Beowulf. Pitch-Black Void:- Secret Mission 11. Head up the stairs leading to the door (the corridor on the left). At the middle horizontal beam above the stairs. Examine the statue on the right (the one which has light). Secret Mission 11 Title - On Pins And Needles. Secret Mission 11 Objective:- Avoid the Spikes and obtain the blue orb located at the end of the area. (Tip: If you time it correctly, you can Sky Star through the spikes without taking any damage.) >~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~< # 5.15 - Mission 18: Invading Hell # <~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~> Road to Despair:- Secret Mission 12. Before entering the mirror to the next area. Go to the back left of the big foot statue. Examine the wall. Secret Mission 12 Title - Final Ascension. Secret Mission 12 Objective:- Obtain the Blue Orb Fragment on the top level. (Tip: Try using Trickster's Sky Star and Nevan's Air Raid. Don't forget to get Air Hike.) (Alternative Tip: From the perspective of the entrance door, find the block that rotates towards the right wall and jump onto it. Do a single jump off the block and do an upward Wall Hike and you should see some platforms that occasionally poke out of the walls. Immediately Air Hike onto either platform, then perform a double jump and Sky Star to the second level doorway platform. From here, jump onto the block that moves vertically. Wait until it reaches it's highest point, then quickly jump onto the block that moves in a circular/winding path. Wait for it to get near the wall, then do a single jump towards it and Wall Hike upwards, followed by an Air Hike, and finally Sky Star onto the Blue Orb Fragment platform.) Lost Souls Nirvana:- Defeat all the bosses. There you have it! All 32 Blue Orb Fragments, which is equivalent to 8 full Blue Orb pieces. The rest of the full Blue Orb pieces can be bought at the Divinity Statue by using Red Orbs. ENJOY! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* * 6.
