Secret Missions are optional Missions that you can do while playing the main story of Devil May Cry 5. These missions usually test out your skills on the different playable characters.
Secret Missions are usually hidden away in unnoticeable areas of the map. Each story mission can have one or more Secret Missions hidden within them so keep your eyes peeled!
Secret Missions have special requirements that you need to meet in order for you to complete them. These prerequisites include killing enemies under a time limit, only certain weapons dealing damage, and more!
Completing Secret Missions will usually reward you with Blue Orb Fragments. Collecting these Blue Orb Fragments will increase your character's max HP per 4 pieces.
You have the option to replay Secret Missions as many times as you want. However, completing Secret Missions will only reward you with Red Orbs after completing the second time onwards.
You will be able to access and play the Secret Missions you've discovered in the menu. Secret Missions you have not yet discovered will remain locked until you find them within the story missions.
