Devil May Cry 5 Mission 16 Collectibles Locations

Mission 16 marks Dante’s turn for a Diverging Point, meaning the level features a route split that affects the collectibles you can obtain. To collect everything in this mission, you’ll need to play through it twice, choosing different routes each time. This guide will walk you through all Mission 16 collectibles locations, ensuring you don’t miss anything important!

Mission 16 Collectibles Overview

In Mission 16, there are a total of four collectibles, including two Blue Orb Fragments, one Purple Orb Fragment, and a new weapon for Dante. Here’s the full list:

• 1x Purple Orb Fragment
• 2x Blue Orb Fragments
• 1x Dante Weapon (story unlock)

Since the route split determines which collectibles you can access, be prepared for a second playthrough if you want to collect everything. you miss anything you can replay the mission using the Mission Select screen on the Title screen.

Mission 16 Route Split

At a certain point in the mission, you’ll encounter a split in the path. The route you take affects which collectibles you can obtain:

• Route 1 (Across the gap) → Blue Orb Fragment
• Route 2 (Drop down) → Purple Orb Fragment + Blue Orb Fragment (Secret Mission)

You can use the checkpoint reload trick after collecting the Route 1 Blue Orb Fragment to return to the split without fully replaying the level.

Route Split

Mission 16 features a route split which changes what you can grab during a playthrough. On route one you can grab a Blue Orb Fragment and on route two you can grab the Purple Orb Fragment and a Blue Orb Fragment. The route split appears at the area pictured above. Going to the area across takes you to route one, while dropping down takes you to route two.

Route 1 – Blue Orb Fragment

• Location: At the bottom of the blueish tunnel.
• How to Obtain: Follow the tunnel downward, dropping through several holes while fighting enemies along the way. At the very bottom, you’ll see a Blue Orb Fragment across a large gap. Use Dante’s Demon Form to fly across and grab it, or attempt an advanced jump combo.

Quick Tip: Once you collect the fragment, pause the game and reload the last checkpoint to return to the route split. This way, you can take Route 2 on your next attempt.

Route 2 – Blue Orb Fragment (Secret Mission Reward)

• Location: Inside a hidden alcove near a Red Orb tree.
• How to Obtain:
  1. Instead of going across to Route 1, drop down at the route split.
  2. Fight the lizard enemies at the bottom, then proceed forward.
  3. Look for a large Red Orb tree with a weak platform next to it.
  4. Behind the tree is a tunnel—head inside and keep going until you reach an alcove.
  5. Inside the alcove, activate and complete the Secret Mission to obtain the Blue Orb Fragment.

Missed the jump? Reload the last checkpoint and try again!

Route 2 – Purple Orb Fragment

• Location: Below the Red Orb tree in the same area as the Secret Mission.
• How to Obtain: After reaching the Red Orb tree for the Secret Mission, look for a ledge lower down. Drop carefully onto it to grab the Purple Orb Fragment—this is the last Purple Orb Fragment in the game.

Additional Tips

• Reload Trick: If you want to collect all items in a single session, use the checkpoint reload trick after getting the Route 1 Blue Orb Fragment. This saves time instead of playing the mission twice.
• Careful Jumping: This level features many difficult jumps—pay close attention to ledges, and don’t be afraid to retry sections if needed.
