Secret mission locations in Devil May Cry 5
Where to find all the secret missions hidden in Devil May Cry 5.
Secret missions are mini challenges that are hidden throughout Devil May Cry 5’s main story. A secret mission is highlighted by a red, runic marking on the wall and once unlocked, can be played from the main menu. Actually finding and unlocking the secret missions can be tough, so we’ve simplified the process.
All secret mission locations
There are several secret missions to be unlocked in Devil May Cry 5. All of these missions vary in difficulty from surprisingly easy to extremely challenging. Most of these missions utilize a time limit or challenge that requires upgraded skills, so unlocking and using good skills and abilities is recommended.
To unlock a secret mission, find the red markings and then stand in the spot so that the symbol is whole. The correct spot will be highlighted by a red beacon, though its location won’t always be easy to find. The reward for clearing a secret mission is a blue orb fragment, an item that increases the maximum vitality by one block when four fragments are joined together.
Secret Mission 1
This secret mission is found during mission 2 when playing as Nero. After walking down a long hallway, tendrils will erupt through the floor and walls, blocking the path but destroying the wall.

Exploring each mission thoroughly is vital to tracking down all of the secret missions in Devil May Cry 5. Though this might be a bit difficult at first, the real challenge comes with trying to beat each one. However, it’s worth the time perfecting and beating the secret missions, as each one rewards a valuable blur orb fragment.
