Introduction
The Devil May Cry series by Capcom Entertainment, Inc., rst debuted in 2001. Despite its stateside release in the weeks following 9/11, the rst game in the series
became an overnight bestseller, and a new legacy was born. Previous installments in the series follow the adventures of the Devil Hunter, Dante, the half-demon son
of a rebel, Sparda, who overthrew the powers of Hell on Earth and freed humanity from the clutches of demons. Dante uses his uniquely inhuman powers along with
demonic weapons and his trusty twin guns, Ebony & Ivory, to defeat demons and devils and undo the plots of their sinister pawns. The games blend of cocky, stylish
action and gothic settings stands out among the main franchises in video game history.

This room is designed to challenge Nero with a simple diversion. The objective
is to roll the giant die in the middle of the room by striking it with the Devil
Bringer. Neros playing piece moves the number of spaces rolled on the die.
When the piece reaches the nal space, the game ends and the doors become
unsealed. The circle he stops on determines what happens next:
Red Circle: An enemy set appears and attacks. The enemy set appearing is
determined by the space landed on.
Yellow Circle: Acting as a penalty space, landing here causes the Nero playing
piece to go back to the previous yellow circle. If Nero lands on the rst
yellow circle, he goes back to the start.
