Destroy the additional barrels here, then swim out through the bent-open bars, into the cell straight across the hallway. Use the Needlegun to break the barrels for Red Orbs, then turn left from the direction Dante started out facing in to find a hole in the wall leading to another cell. Jumping through teleports him inside a cell in a submerged prison area. Step into the circle on the floor to proceed.ĭante reappears back in the top level of the guard rooms, and this time the portal on the right is active. If not, it is best to equip Alastor or Ifrit before going through the portal, in order to build up some DT in the following section ready for the boss. Also like Force Edge, Dante cannot use the R3 'switch weapon' command while it is equipped, or to switch to it: equipping or unequipping it requires a trip to the menu.ĭante automatically has Sparda equipped at the start of the mission: if the player wishes to try it out, they can exit through the door they entered the throne room through in the last mission to fight some Marionettes and Fetishes out in the hall.

Like Force Edge, when it is equipped, the DT Gauge is not displayed and no DT is earned no matter what Dante does. While it deals more base damage than Alastor and its transformations give it improved reach on some moves, it does not have access to Devil Trigger outside of a specific boss fight later on: as a result, it also prevents Dante from using Charged Shots with his guns.

Sparda handles much like Alastor: it has Stinger and Round Trip if they have been purchased for Alastor, but does not have Air Hike. After the introductory cutscene, Dante is granted the Perfect Amulet and the game's final Devil Arm, Sparda, the true form of Force Edge.
