 I. Introduction		( 00001 )                                                                        
         a. Author Intro	( 00002 )
Now I'm a huge video game fan. I love all sorts wether it's a Playstation 2, 
XBox, Gameboy Advance, PSP, Nintendo DS, Gamecube but out of all of 
them my favourite is the PS2 by a long shot. Why? More and better games, 
popularity, most fun to play, has the best controllers, you can go online the
list goes on and on and on. My favourite games are Devil May Cry 3, Midnight
Club 3, Burnout 3 and Metal Gear 3: Snake Eater. 

  Anyway I have my very own yearly subscrtion to the Offical Playstation 2 
Magazine Australia so I know the good games, Devil May Cry 3, Midnight 
Club 3, Burnout 3, Metal Gear 3: Snake Eater for example, and and the not 
so good ones such as Army Men Air Attack:Blades Revenge. Anyway since 
I knew all the good games availbe at the time of my pusrache which was 
on the 11th of July 2005 ( in the school holidays ) I had a pretty good 
understanding of what game I wanted. I was thinking along the lines of Devil 
May Cry 3, God of War and Gran Tursimo 4. So when I arrived at my local 
EB store there was a massive discount going on such as $ 60 for Devil May
Cry 3, $ 20 for Burnout 3, $ 75 for Gran Tursimo 4. Before hand I already 
said to myself that what ever game I decide to buy I'll FAQ it. So anyway I 
thought Devil May Cry 3 was the best one so I bought it, went home and 
played it, loved it and I try to play as much as I can. 

This FAQ is my first ever BUT DON'T STOP READING!!!! I am postive that 
you will find this guide usefull and helpfull as well as fun to read so please 
contiue reading and enjoying my first ever FAQ. Also if you like my FAQ 
which you will please rate it at Gamefaqs. If enough people like my FAQ I 
will do another FAQ and I'll do more and more. 

As I said before I love playing video games but that's not all I like to do. I 
like to read and write, esciaplly comics and magazines, I like to watch 
cartoons such as Dragon Ball Z and I have found a new hobbie, WRITING 
FAQ's for you wonderfull people. So I will try my hardest to contiually be 
writing this FAQ for my own fun and for you wonderful people. Also I do 
have a personal life as well as a social life so please don't be hard on me 
it is hard writing a good FAQ and I am doing this on my own free will I 
don't get paid for this so please show a little bit of appreaction towards
me. Anyway with all that done let's get started.

        b. Weapons		( 00007 )
Throughout Devil May Cry 3 you will find different weapons. The weapons
are diveded up into Longe-Range Weapons and Short range weapons. At 
the begining of a mission or at Divinity Staues mid level you can change 
what two Close range weapons and Long range weapons you can have 
selected. Below are the different weapons I have found so far and how I 
got it.

				      Close Range Weapons
Rebellion Sword		
- Availble at the beginging of the game
- A fast Sword that's good if your surroneded by enemines. It has longe 
  range, were talking 6 feet long and a nice sharp edge. 

Cerberus
- Availble once you defeat the Boss Cerberus at the end of Mission 3: The 
  Devils Tower
- These are a pair of ice nun-chucks. There not very powerful but are fast,
  there good when surronded by a large amount of enemys and work well
  with other weapons.

Agni & Rudra
- Availble once you defeat Agni & Rudra at the end of Mission 5: Of Devils 
  and Swords.
- Agni & Rudra are two seperate swords of fire and wind that you recive 
  upon beating the Level 5 boss. They strike fast and do decent damage 
  although some of the attacks leave you wide open for an enemy attack. 
  They have some stylish moves and work well with SwordsMaster and 
  Royal Guard.     

				       Long Range Weapons
Ivory and Eborny
- Availble at the begining of the game
- A pair of twin pistols. They have fast, rapid fire and are execlent at Long 
  Range Attacks. When used with Gun Slinger you will be able to pull off 
  some stylish and cool not to mention strong combos. 

Shotgun
- Availble in Mission 3: The Devils Tower when your'e in the club and go 
  through the barrier it is on the left on the wall as you walk through.
- This is a powerful shotgun. Yes it is powerfull but takes ages to re-load 
  and re-loads after every bullet that is fired. Not the best weapon to use 
  when surroneded by stacks of enemys due to the long re-loading times. 
  Also there are some cool, stylish and powerful animations when used 
  with gunslinger.  

Artemis
- Availble in Mission 6: Family Ties. Complete all three trails and then put 
  the stones into the goddess. Two stones will clear the wreckge blocking 
  the door and inserting the final stone will give you Artemis.
- Artemis is a Crossbow that shoots out balls of energy.

There are probaly alot more weapons to find during the course of the 
game and I will contiue to up-date this section when-ever I find a new 
weapon.

        c. Tricks		( 00008 )

Throughout playing this game I will always be finding new Close Range 
Weapons up untill I have found them all so I will always be updating 
this section of the FAQ up untill then. 

        e. Style System		( 00009 )	
The Style System is a little system that dertimines what the Style
 Button ( Circle on Defualt ) does and what other actions you are 
able to do. This offers a unique way to tackle each mission or 
boss and depending on what style you have chossen you will have 
to play  differently. You can still shoot and slash with any style 
but the tricks will be different. For instance on Royal Guard you

you are in Devil Trigger mode you are stronger, more powerful and
some new tricks can be done whilst in Devil Trigger Mode. Devil 
Trigger becomes available once you have completed Mission 7: A 
Chance Meeting. Underneath your health bar in the top left hand corner

are able to transform into Dantes more powerful Demon for a brief 
period of time. This transformation is called Devil Trigger. In order to 
activate Devil Trigger mode simply press the L1 button. Dante will then 
transform into his more powerful Demon. Devil Trigger mode only lasts 
for a short amount of time as I said before and lasts for a proximally 30 
seconds so make good use of it. You can get more DT Gauges by killing 
enemies and peform cool combos against them.

        g. Style Points		( 00011 )	
When you begin to fight a bar will appear on screen near the top right 
hand corner. If you use different Combos and Tricks the bar will go up

up by taunting when you have finished fighting which will further increase 
your Style Points. Below are the different Style levels in order from the 
first one to the last one.

- Stylish

        h. Items		( 00012 )      
Throughout you playing of DMC 3 you will encouter different Items each 
with different effects and each are found differently. Below are the Items 
that are composed of Orbs and Stars and what they do.

Orbs
Red Orb:  Red Orbs are used to upgrade Dantes skills, moves etc. from 
	 the Divinity Staues and at the Custimoze Screen in bettween
	 missions. Red Orbs are found lying around, by destroying 
	 obejects, killing enimies and from Red Orb Pedestals where
	 you peform melee combos on these pedestals and they then 
	 relase Red Orbs. They will stop relasing Red Orbs when you 
	 have destroyed the pedestal.

Blue Orb: There are fragments of blue orb's hidden throughout the levels. 
	 Whenever you collect four fragments of Blue Orb that equals 
	 one blue orb and increases your health bar. Blue Orb 
	 Fragment's can also be bought at the Divinity Staues and the
	 Customize menu. 

Green Orb : Green Orbs restore Health. Green Orbs are found destroying 
	    obejects or by killing enemys and demons.

White Orb : These are rarely ever dropped by enemies and they recover 
	    magic power and the DT Gauge.

Gold Orb : These are hidden throughout levels and can also be bought at 
	  the Divinty Staues or the Customize menu. Depending on 
	  what version you have the Gold orbs will do different things. 
	  From my understanding the Japanese Version allows you to
	  revive with full health when you die and the North American 
	 Version allows you to contiue the game from the last door
	  you used before you died.

Purple Orb: Purple Orbs are magical stones that are composed of 
	   crystallized magic power. Each Purple Orb increases 
	   your DT Gauge to it's maximum.

Stars
Vital Star S : Vital Star S's are used to restore a small portion of your 
	      health gauge.

Vital Star L : Vital Star L's are used to restore a large portion of your 	 
	     health gauge.

Devil Star : Devil Stars are used to restore a portion of your Devil Trigger 
	   Gauge.

Holy Water
Holy Water: Holy Water is a powerful liquid that inflicts damage on all 
	    eneimes in the room.

        i. Rankings		( 00013 )	
Whenever you beat a mission a screen will come up displaying certain 
stats about that level . The stats are:
- Time
- Red Orbs 
- Stylish Points
- Damage 
- Items used
Time is how long you took to beat the level, Red Orbs are how many Red 
Orbs you found, Stylish Points is your total amount of Style Points, Damage 
is how much Damge you recived and Items Used are how many Items you
used during the mission. For every single stat you are given a grade. The 
game then gets the indivaual grades for that level and sorts out a overall 
grade and rewards you with a different amount of red orbs. The better 
you went the more orbs you will recive. The best indivuial grade possible 
is a " S " ranking and the best overall grade is a " SS " grade which you 
get if all of your indivuial grades are " S's. " By reciving " S's " and " SS's "
you unlock hidden arts that can be viewed in the gallary

as you can imagine Dante is even cockier and more irreverent than the one 
we're already familer with. Dante is the twin brother of bad guy Vergil and

the blood of demon hero Sparda running through his viens.

       b. Vergil		( 00016 )
Vergil may be Dantes twin brother but he is a mirror opposite of Dante. The 
only similarty is that both Vergil and Dante have the blood of Sparda running 
through their veins. Vergil has chosen to follow the path of Demons ( unlike
Dante who choose to follow humans ) and belives power is the ultimate 
goal. Vergil works with Arkham to bring forth the Demon Realm and is 
complety cold & heartless.

Arkham who works closey with Vergil is a human although he is driven to 
become a Demon. Arkham is a master of the Dark Arts and as Vergil and

dedicates her life to destroying all Demons and that includes Dante although

his legandary sword for the good of humans and sealed the demon world 
away.

isn't stasified with the super human ablities that come from his demon blood.
 In the Demon Realm his powers would be even greater, beyond belief. So 
Vergil then enlists the services of a master of the Dark Arts, Arkham, and 
brings forth the forbidden tower of Temen-Ni-Gru a massive 800 foot Tower
which is capable of merging the Earth Realm together with the Demon World
which will give Vergil great power.

Dante who has the blood of Demon hero Sparda running through his viens and
a human mother is trying to set up a little shop on the edge of town but can't 
help but notice the massive monolith that rose up out of the earth with Legions
of Doom streaming out of it. On standing at the very top of that tower is Vergil, 
the twin brother of Dante. So Dante decides to head towards the tower and 
investage.

The Demon Hunter Lady also notices the massive monolith and she to heads 
towards it with a score of her own to settle.

VI. Review		( 00021 )	
The first Devil May Cry game was fantasic and was quite revolutionary. It was
 fun to play even though it was a bit hard. It was then followed by the sequel, 
Devil May Cry 2. DMC2 was made in a rush by a whole new devolpment team. 
It was a decent game but didn't live up to it it's high standard set by the orignal.
People wondered whether the Devil May Cry series was over so creater Kazuma 
Kaneko went back to the orignal game and got what was great about it, got rid 
of the bad stuff, added a whole lot more good stuff, gave us a cool storyline and 
produced Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening.

DMC3 is about Dante and his twin brother Vergil who has the blood of the 
legendary Sparda running through his veins and he isn't stasified with the super
human ablities that come from his demon blood. In the Demon Realm his powers
would be even greater, beyond belief. So Vergil then enlists the services of a 
master of the Dark Arts, Arkham, and brings forth the forbidden tower of 
Temen-Ni-Gru a massive 800 foot Tower which is capable of merging the Earth 
Realm together with the Demon world which will give Vergil great power. Dante
who has the blood of Demon hero Sparda running through his viens and a human 
mother is trying to set up a little shop on the edge of town but can't help but notice 
the massive monolith that rose up out of the earth with Legions of Doom 
streaming out of it. and standing at the very top of that tower is Vergil, the twin 
brother of Dante. So Dante decides to head towards 
the tower and investage. Meanwhilw the Demon Hunter Lady also notices the massive 
monolith and she too heads towards it with a score of her own to settle. 

DMC3 is a action game where you take control of a younger, more cockier version of
Dante, you grab your trademark guns Ivory & Ebony along with your trusty sharp sword
and kick some serious Demon butt peforming ultra-cool not to mention stylish combos. 
Luckily DMC3 is not all about shooting and slashing Demons because if it was it would 
certainly become very boring very quickly. The action in DMC3 is cetrainly fun, fast and
intense but when your not shooting and slashing you will be figuiring out basic, fun puzzles 
such as grab this, come here, kill some demons, put this in here, kill some demons, pick 
this up, go over here, shove this here etc. Yes, yes I know it sounds boring but it's not. It's
really fun and addictive and you'll find yourself playing into the early hours of the morining 
having a ball of fun. 

Visually DMC3 is sweeet. It looks beautiful and is very detailed. Dante himself looks stunning 
and it's not just him. All the characters look downright awesome and a lot of work has been 
put into desiging them. Every little aspect of them. The controls like the graphicsare very, very
 friggin awesome. It's a brezze to play and you'll find yourself pulling sweet combos off from 
the very begininng. You use the left analogue stick to move, hold R1 to target, press square to 
shoot, traingle to use your sword and X to jump basically. Very very easy. 

One of the best new features of DMC3 would have to be the new Style System. At the 
beginning of a mission or at Divinty Staues found during mid-mission you will be able to 
chosse from four different styles. There's Trickster which is like the Matrix and perfect for 
beginngers. It allows Dante to become more Tricky and allows dante to run-up walls and 
Dash superfast. Then there's Swordmaster which make's Dante unstoppale in Close-range
combat allowing Dante to peform a varity of cool Sword slinger and slashing moves. 
There's also Gunslinger which allows Dante to make good use of his goods by peforming
awesome combos such as using your Shotgun as nun-chunks whilst firing at Close Range
eniemes and lastly Royal Guard which allows you to minimse normal eneimes attacks 
nearly complety and then firing there own attack back at them. This all new Style System
brings Tatics into the game and allows you to choose the best option for tackling the Level
or Boss. It's also good to Level up each Style occordinagly.

As far as weaponary goes DMC3 hit's it spot on. Whilst there aren't a whole heap of 
weapons there's still plenty to choose from such as Pistols, Shotguns, Crossbow's, 
Nun-Chunks and heaps of different Swords. However you can't just bring all your 
weapons into a level and start causing mahyem. At the begininng of each level you
can choose two weapons of each type, Long-range such as your guns and Close 
Range such as your Swords and at the press of a button you can change your weapon 
in an instant which is perfect in the heat of battle. L2 changes your Long-range Weapon
and R2 changes your Close-Range weapon. You can execpt to come across some wild 
and wonderful weapons and each weapon just like the Styles can be upgraded to peform
even more deadily combos. 

In bettween missions you will find yourself at the menu screen where you can choose to 
replay a previous mission, go on with the next mission or Save. When in bettween 
missions you can also choose to buy new things from the shop such as Vital Stars which
 replenish your health and other items which you'll need. One bad thing about the shop 
however is that when you buy something the price will go up every time you buy it. You 
can also change your selected style and if your happy with your Style, Items and the 
rest you can go straight through to th next level and keep the adrealine flowing. 

The cut-scenes in DMC3 are nothing short of wonderful, spectualar. You would have to 
invent a whole new word explaining how awesome the cut-scenes are. In one certain 
cut-scene we saw our hero Dante jump of the top of a massive 800 foot tower shooting
Demon Birds in style. He shoot each one spot on and did it in style jumping off each one
lighting fast and then when he shoot each one which was probaly about 80 of them this 
massive monster demon came and ate Dante up. Spectualar. As well as that the whole 
cut-scene was backed up by perfect Rock Music which brings us to another aspect. Music.

The tunes in which you will listen to in DMC3 include a full orchestra and then later turns 
into heavy rock with songs from bands such as Rob Zombie and Powerman 5000. The
music always get's you in the right mood for having fun playing one of the best games
ever. You would be rocking along if you wern't too busy slaying wicked Demons. 

If your'e looking for a game that will last you a long time with heaps of unlockables, 
things to do and ways to have fun this is it. DMC3 has five different diifclites such 
as Easy, Normal, Hard, Dante Must Die and finally Heaven or Hell where everybody 
dies with one hit including you. That's you, your eneimes and even the bosses. As 
well as the diffuclities there are numerous photos to find to fill your photo gallery and 
a stack of cool, powerful, strong and Stylish combos to perfect.

Overall DMC3 can be summarised by saying that it is a wonderful game that packs loads
of fun and exictment. For the hardcore gamers there are stacks of cool, crazy and 
stylish moves to master as well as five different diffuclties and pictures to find to fill in 
your gallery just to name a few. And for the casual gamer there is a cool, awesome 
storyline and plenty off fun to be had slaying demons and sloving puzzels. All in all Devil 
May Cry 3: Dantes Awakening is a execllent game that is well worth the cash and will 
provide you with fun for at least 5 months. This is one of the best games that the
Playstation 2 will ever offer.

Graphics: 10
The graphics are execllent the best the PS2 has to offer. Some people will say "It's 
nothing I haven't seen before," but hello people the PS2 has been out for several 
years, and if you expect every single title you play to be graphically superior to the 
last, you are being unrealistic. We have hit a ceiling due to hardware limitations!!

Sound: 10
The sounds include a full orchestra and then later turns into heavy rock. The music 
always get's you in the right mood for having fun playing one of the best games ever.
You would be rocking along if you wern't too busy slaying wicked Demons. 

Fun Factor: 10
I would give it a 11 if possible.

Camara: 9.5 
The camra is execllent as it lets you see where all your eniemes are 95% of the time. 

Value for Money: 10
Defintly worth it even for $ 100 as you'll be playing it for many, many months. And with 
the deal I got it for ( $ 60 ) it was damn' worth it.

Storyline: 10
Execlent story with an execlent plot. 

Controls: 9.8
The controls handle beautifully. You have full control over everything execpt for the 
camara sometimes. Therefore I can-not award ita 10

Lifespan: 10
Five different diffuclities, Photo's to fill in your photo gallery not to mention all of 
the cool, Stylish moves to master. This is a beast that will take many months to 
tame. 

Overall: 9.9

X. How to make your own FAQ  	( 00045 )	

This section is for anybody who wants to make their very own FAQ and
how to submit it to GameFaqs. First open up your notepad which is 
found accessories in the start menu. This is on the Microsoft computers 
so if you don't have download it. Once your notepad is open began to 
write your FAQ. I suggest to use some kind of image out of words to make
it more appealing. Once your FAQ. is done or up to a certain stage go to
Gamefaqs and login in. If your not registered click " Sign me up " in the 
top left hand corner. Once you are registered, click contribute at the top
of the page. A page titled Contributor Central should come up. Scroll down 
and click submit a file. Then, type in the game, and the system it's for. A 
list of games should come up. Click the one you want, and then another 
page should come up. Type in the title of the FAQ, the version, ect. Give 
CJayC (the runner of this site) any additional side notes, then upload the 
file. It's in!
