❝  i want to kill every person responsible for leaving you scarred. ❞

"Mama..."

Towa gave a small smile as she hung her old uniform. It wasn't something she liked to wear into combat anymore without risk of damaging it and the precious memories associated with it: but she still liked to wear it around casually, until she reached a point she outgrew it. Auntie was also in middle school, right?

But her scars were on display as she washed her clothes.

"Don't worry about it, mama," Towa tried to assure her with a rehearsed smile to comfort her mother. "They don't bother me-" except in those rare moments where she had this thought if Riku would find them ugly. "So there's no need to worry-! They're all healed after all!"

Just pretend they don't bother you at all.

"'Sides, most of them are dead already!"

She embraced her mother.

Just lie to yourself enough times until you believe it, that's it, that's all.

The Theme of Love, William Blake, DMC 5 and the fate of the Sons of Sparda

I’ve always loved symbolism and literary references in my favourite stories so I’m ecstatic to see the incredible William Blake join Dante Alighieri as a major influence on the Devil May Cry series. 

Is before the game’s release too early to do some meta? Of course not!

So let’s dig deeper and see what possible plot points or themes we can glean from Blake’s work and other symbolism for what the dev team have said will be the conclusion for the ‘Sons of Sparda’

Spoilers abound - read at your own risk!

William Blake was a 18th Century English poet, artist and mystic who created his own complex religious mythology for his works. Sadly not widely known or respected at the time, he nevertheless had an increasingly powerful influence on the arts. 

The main themes Blake grappled with were the hypocrisy of the Christian Church against what he saw as the natural forces of the imagination and sexuality. He was also very concerned with the effects of the Industrial Revolution on society, especially on the poor. 

So he’s a good guy, but how does this relate to the Sons of Sparda? 

Vergil and Urizen

The big bad of Blake’s mythology as most of you know by now is a god-like figure called Urizen. Blake hints that Urizen is the Christian/Abrahamic God but he is most similar to the gnostic Demiurge figure and represents according to Wikipedia ‘ Urizen is the embodiment of conventional reason and law.’

Now who do we know who puts cold logic above emotions?

‘He is said to represent the Heavenly host, but he experiences a Satanic fall in that he desired to rule. He is motivated by his pride and becomes a hypocrite. When Albion asks for him, Urizen refuses and hides, which causes him to experience his fall. After his fall, Urizen set about creating the material world and his jealousy of mankind brought forth both Wrath and Justice.[4] Wikipedia

Urizen being cast out from Eternity. Book of Urizen

Guys, it even says ‘motivated by pride’, what more do you want? More than this, Vergil does literally fall, unable to accept his loss to Dante and the path of emotion and honour Dante represents - the true inheritor of their parents’ will.

 Despite Vergil’s coldness, he is filled underneath with anger - 

‘What defines Vergil as a character to me is that while he seems like the perfect samurai in his very calm and calculated demeanor, you can always sense the simmering intensity and even rage.’ Dan Southworth

Yet he also exhibits a strange sense of justice such as refusing to stab Dante in the back as Nelo Angelo and pride in being a Son of Sparda TM. 

In DMC 5 Urizen is described as a newly ascendent, powerful demon who seeks to use the Demon Tree to become king over the Demon World and (presumably via his actions in Red Grave City) merge it with the Human World. It’s been pretty much confirmed that Vergil is big bad Urizen in some form - from Dan Southworth’s re-pitched voice, Urizen’s looks - the blue colouring and spiky hair -  and V’s assertion that Urizen is the Cloaked Man who stole Yamato - Vergil’s sword and who also has Dan’s voice and Corrupted Vergil’s looks. Also his scheme the same power grab Vergil tried in DMC 3 and the manga.

This being said, what does it tell us about Vergil’s motivation (sorry) in DMC 5? For this we need to look at the rest of the clues...

The Poison Tree 

DMC 5 starts with the roots of the Demon Tree ‘Qliphoth’ invading Red Grave City and bringing with it a hoard of demons. It also seems to use the population’s blood as an energy source creating a demonic ‘fruit’ at its source that will grant the power to rule the Demon World according to demon Goliath. 

This relates to Blake's poem "A Poison Tree" where, through suppression of anger, the protagonist’s rage grows like a tree and bears a fruit that kills his foe.  

‘The allegory within the poem emphasizes that when a person hides or denies their emotions, they will become poisoned with bitterness and more vengefulness.’

https://www.enotes.com/homework-help/what-theme-poem-poison-tree-thank-you-144241

Again who do we know hides or denies their emotions? Given how closely the dev team are using Blake’s work this implies that Vergil as Urizen in some form has become consumed with bitterness and vengence, something we already saw from him in DMC 3. Added to this is his loss of pride at being the slave and puppet of his mother’s killer (Mundus) and being defeated by Dante a second time in DMC 1. We see this callousness in the way he treats Nero - his only child who he’s never met and Dante again in front of the tree. 

(Interestingly this quote could also refer to Dante as a plot twist. I’d argue that although Dante is a lot freer with his emotions he perhaps hasn’t dealt fully with the rage and pain that life has dealt him - what do you think?)

Another interesting note is the word ‘Qliphoth’ which comes from Jewish mystic branch Kabbalah and means - 

‘literally "Peels", "Shells" or "Husks" (from singular: קְלִפָּה‬ qlippah "Husk"),[2] are the representation of evil or impure spiritual forces in Jewish mysticism, the polar opposites of the holy Sefirot.[3]’ 

The Sefirot are emmanations of the Divine that manifest into this world and the pattern they are depicted in is also like a tree so the evil version makes the ‘Qliphoth’ a metaphysical demonic tree.

If we look at Urizen he looks like tree-like husk encasing another figure, connecting them to this tree. Trailers and promo material have also shown people encased in husks feeding the tree and the theme is repeated with Cavaliere Angelo being powered by Trish.

Does this hint that Vergil’s true nature is being obscured by Urizen or that, like in DMC 3 his pride and lust for power still obscure his caring side like the husks in Kabbalah?

In a Korean interview the dev team said DMC 5 will return to DMC 1′s theme of love (something I’m absolutely crazy about.) Sparda’s choice to protect humanity and love a human woman, Eva’s sacrifice for her sons and Dante and Vergil literally embodying the two human ways of dealing with the pain of that trauma have always been the most captivating aspect for me. Hopefully this means we will finally get the conclusion we lacked from DMC 1 and DMC 3 to that essential dilemma  - is the best way of life via compassion and altruism or domination and control via dispassionate reason? 

Or maybe a combo of both?

Love, Lust and Nero’s Mother

The DMC team have been remarkably coy about Nero’s mother which has always irritated me. It fridges another mother/lover character as well as denying us juicy( and I’d argue) essential story details aka why Captain ‘I Hate Humanity and Repress My Emotions’ would ever deign to sleep with a human.

But since the Korean interview hints at the theme of love perhaps we will get an insight at last, especially if we get the long awaited confrontation between father and son. 

Blake’s writing gives us an interesting hint to this. In his mythos Urizen’s female counterpart is Ahania who stands for pleasure and the desire for intelligence. They have many children including a rebellious son called Fuzon who fights against his father’s repressive ways (Nero anyone?). But the crucial part is Urizen separating himself from Ahania because he believes pleasure is sinful or limiting - just as Vergil separated himself from human desires and emotions because he thought of them as weak. But also like Vergil, Urizen becomes weaker as a result, losing his intuition, for the path to Divine Wisdom accord to Blake was passion and reason - something Dante grew into, becoming more balanced and mature as the series has progressed.

It wouldn’t surprise me if we get some callous remark from Vergil about Nero’s mother at first - was he with her out of lust which disgusted him afterwards (wasn’t Nero’s mother hinted at being a prostitute?), or was it an experiment as someone else has suggested to see if he could recreate Sparda’s power via his connection with Eva or ven some creepy deal with the Order of the Sword to continue Sparda’s bloodline despite his intention to raise Temen-ni-gru and show them ‘this devil’s power’?

Whatever he says it will cause more of a rift, but I believe at the end Vergil will be forced to confront her importance even just as the mother of his child, along with other significant figures like Nero, Dante and Eva.

Nero and Urizen’s son Fuzon

"1: Fuzon, on a chariot iron-wing'd On spiked flames rose; his hot visage Flam'd furious! sparkles his hair & beard Shot down his wide bosom and shoulders. On clouds of smoke rages his chariot And his right hand burns red in its cloud Moulding into a vast globe, his wrath As the thunder-stone is moulded. Son of Urizens silent burnings

Blake

‘As the element of fire, the element symbolizing the energy Urizen wishes to subdue, Fuzon rebels against Urizen...battling him for control of the world’ Fuzon Wikipedia

This sounds much like Nero’s reckless and impassioned battle with DMC’s Urizen for control of the Human World. 

Unfortunately for Fuzon he is eventually defeated by his father and crucified on the Tree of Mystery  - yet another powerful tree symbol.

This is not looking good for Nero...but since Blake’s works develop, the element of passionate rebellion and the quest for the reunion of reason and imaginative emotion continue and I can’t see Nero dying at the end of DMC 5 so perhaps there will be a resurrection of sorts?

Dante and Luvah/Orc

But where does Dante figure in all of this? Can Blake’s mythology give us some potential answers? He does in the double figure of Luvah/Orc (no, not that sort of orc...)

Orc. William Blake

As Luvah - ‘he represents love, passion, and rebellious energy..’ he is also known ‘as the Prince of Love, and his name may be connected to the word "lover". Love is the supreme emotion, and it is connected to all others, including hate...his fallen form is Orc. Throughout Blake's mythological system, he is opposed to Urizen, the representation of reason.’

Orc is also ‘the embodiment of rebellion, and stands opposed to Urizen, the embodiment of tradition...’ He is a ‘"Lover of Wild Rebellion, and transgressor of God's Law"... Orcus is also the Latin word for Hell, and Orc is presented as a rebellious, Luciferian character.’

We can see Dante’s human and demonic aspects in these quotes.

Urizen and Luvah/Orc engage in a complex battle across the cycle of ages as a metaphor for the conflict between reason and the emotions - just like Dante and Vergil. He also gets crucified to a tree (not looking good for Dante either then...) but resurrects in various forms including (Blake being a Christian) Jesus. In this resurrected form Urizen is afraid of the new Luvah  - perhaps in DMC terms this is when we see Dante’s Majin form? Either way I think both Nero and Dante are going to be called on to make some sort of sacrifice fighting Vergil as Urizen, hopefully to bring him back to the light and free him from the evil husk of hatred.

Healing the Division

‘Later in Vala, Orc describes the divided aspects of the soul, which, in Blake's mythological system, God has a twofold essence that is capable of good and evil. This idea parallels Blake's personal belief that there was a division within himself..’.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orc_(Blake)

The symbolism of divided aspects of God and the soul within Blake’s system hark back again to the division between Dante and Vergil and Vergil and Nero. In the manga Vergil reflects on Dante and him being one being split in two. The aspects of their all-powerful father were also split between them as Sparda was also known as being calm like Vergil and rebellious like Dante as reflected in his two swords given to each respective son. And of course there’s that ‘pesky’ human nature from Eva.

Nero too has grown into his own, arguably as some have said being more like Sparda than either of his sons, willing to sacrifice his power because of his love for a human and protect other humans for her sake. Hopefully as hinted in both the Korean interview, the works of Blake and the core of Devil May Cry, it will be the theme of Love that will finally bring the family of Sparda together and heal at long last that division.

V and the Poetry of Blake

Despite being the mouthpiece for a lot of Blake’s poetry I’m not going to talk much about V except to refer you to this great post from la-vita which lists alot of his quotes.

https://la-vita.tumblr.com/post/182731950816/two-of-the-poems-v-reads-during-battle

It says that V��s book may refer to the ‘V’ of DMC V, Blake’s Plate 5 he is reading, however...

‘Urizen is described as having multiple books: Gold, Silver, Iron, and Brass. They represent science, love, war, and sociology, which are four aspects of life.’

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urizen

Hmm...

Thanks for reading if you got this far!

Fast Ranking

If you want to rank up fast, try this:

Do firefight on legendary.

Put the overshields on x4 and the power on invincible, the damage on 300% and choose weapons you like. Put the ammo on bottomless cup.

Now make your own waves. Put (almost) all on either elites or brutes. You can’t die so don’t worry about hammers or feul rod cannons. If you don’t have the killionaire achievement, put in one bonus wave full of grunts and choose an explosive weapon (plasma grenade launcher, feul rod cannon, rocketlauncher). Wait until the grunts jump out of the plane. When a big crowd of grunts have gathered, shoot your rocket a few times and you will easily get the achievement.

Unlimited Armor Lock

First, go into editor mode and make 2 armor locks. Go out of editor mode, Then you equip one of them, then use it. While you are using it, then go back into editor mode. Go to the other one you made and press ‘delete all of these’ and go back to normal. It should give you unlimited armor lock. Comment if it works.

Easy Credits

A way to get credits is go to fire fight and go to options put in invulnerable and bottomless clip than go a map and go out side and let them hit or shoot you. You will get 10 credits a minute so you can go and do homework or something.

Emiles Armor

You go to the pillar of autumn mission and go to the part where Emile dies. You go up to the mac turret and walk over the Emiles dead body and melee it and it will showhis armor do all the lights like when you get hit its pretty cool but you can only do it once.

Easy Rank Up

First what you have to do is set the map to Holdout. Set the difficulty to easy. Go to game options then spartan settings then Base traits then sheild and health. Set damage resistance to invulnerable. 4x sheilds. Set your damage to 300%. Put gravity to 50%. Jump height to 50%. then go back and go to loudouts. Put your 1st and 2nd weapon to DMR and Plasma Cannon. Your epuipment:jet pack. And 4x frags. Now you should rank up faster.

Harmless Tank. Kinda

This is actualy a way to kill other tanks faster and safer. When ever you have to fight a tank, and your in one, aim at the main cannon of the opponent tank and it will blow up, he wont be able to shoot at you so you wil have a definite win. Unless your a noob.

Super Jump on Forge World

If you want to experience an awesome way to enjoy Forge World, then read the following text.

step 1: before starting the map, set the base player traits to 50% gravity, 300%speed, and 300% jump hight.

step 2: start the game of forge and spawn an EVADE armor ability (on a raised platform like the hanger) and spawn an incline at the edge of the platform.

step 3: Have someone pick up the EVADE and start running for the incline. Once you hit the base of the incline, use the armor ability.

CONGRATULATIONS, if you did it correctly, you should be soaring through the air faster than a banshee in full boost.

step 4: Have fun and tell your friends!

Rank Up Faster

By playing score attack in firefight matchmaking, you can rank up much faster than doing regular mulitplayer. Challenges are more easily met and achievements are also easier to get. Gruntpocalypse is the easiest way to rank up, but if you want a real challenge to rank up the fastest, just do regular firefight.

Level Up Faster

First start up two controllers then first player sign in then in the main menu go to custom game then just find the second player who wont try to kill you because he can’t move and just kill him and you will get promoted fast.

Easy Emile’s Helmet For Avatar

Go to matchmaking, then go on to playlist, go to competitive and go on “Living dead”. There you have to be the human instead of zombie. You have a shotgun and a magnum but use the shotgun. Before the zombie kills you, shoot it and you should not only get a Bulltrue metal but Emile’s helmet. I did this but I killed the zombie and the zombie killed me at the same time.

Iron Man

Iron man – This only works on forge mode. First you haveto place a Armor Lock ANYWHERE! Then you Get the Armor lock and Hold down the LB On your Xbox 360 controller. After you done that Press up on your D-pad (FORGE MODE)And spawn another Armor lock (STILL HOLDING LB) and pressThe B button on your Xbox 360 Controller and find DeleteAll of these. (STILL HOLDING LB) and press Up on your D-Pad to go back into Game mode and you should be iron manPROOF: Go all the way up to the sky on forge mode and FallYou shouldn’t get hurt!

New Vehicles

There are several new vehicles in the game for both the covenant and the UNSC. The new vehicles for the Covenant are the Revanant and the seraph and the new vehicles for the UNSC are the rocket warthog, falcon drop-ship, and the saber fighter.

Easiest Way To Get Carters Helmet

To do this you must clear a Campaign mission on legendary without dying. First select winter contingency, set it on legendary, let Noble team do all the work and you will get that helmet in no time.

How To Hijack A Flacon/banshee

You go to campaign and go on Exodus part 3 and kill the ODST and the marine and get in the Falcon and have to have two people and you should get banshee fly fast, and low.

How To Get A Pelican On New Alexandra

Go to the building next to the club at the end of the misson you need 2 people to do this you drive a falcon and the other person goes on top then fly to the building next to the club then go to the opening part make the falcon stay a little to the ceiling the the other player hits the switch then go in the ring then You have a Pelican.

Compass And Latitude And Longitude.

The controls are quite similar to lowering your weapon. Hold down the LB+RB+X+UP D-pad+CLICK RIGHT ANOLOG STICK, all at once for about 3 seconds. I would suggest clicking the right anolog stick with your chin or bottom teeth against your bottom lip to click it. I do it with my bottom teeth and lip. It is very similar to lowering you weapon, except you use the up d-pad and not the down.

Turret-less Warthog

You can use any variant of warthogs for this trick. In forge, go into editor mode. Spawn a landmine, and set it down anywhere. Then spawn any warthog variant, but do not set it down yet, take the warthog, and rub it against the landmine. And now you have warthog without a gun. The driver seat and the passenger seat can both be accessed.NOTE: if you have done it correctly, it is best that you do not put your warthog in any other damage. Or else the warthog may be completely destroyed.

Inside The Wall In Forge

Go to forge and then forge world and then when you spawn stay where you are (if you are in the cave in the mountain and at the very back) and spawn a double wall or Coliseum window (the window works best) while in your ball back up in to the wall (not to fast) and when you get in the wall press Y.

Name Of Helmets Of The Noble Team For Spartan

Carter’s Helmet: Commando (Commander Rank- 85, 000 cR)

Kat’s Helmet: Air Assault (Warrant Officer Rank- 15, 000 cR)

Jun’s Helmet: Scout [HU/RS] (Captain Rank- 45, 000 cR for base and HU/RS)

Emile’s Helmet: EVA [C] [CNM] (Commander Rank- 145, 000 cR for base and CNM)

Jorge’s Helmet: Grenadier [UA] (Warrant Officer Rank- 30, 000 cR for base and UA)

Noble Six’s Helmet: Mark V [B] [UA] (Recruit rank aka “starters”- 750 cR for UA)

Note: In order to get Emile’s Helmet to be available, purchase the EVA for 30, 000 cR (Major Rank).

Easy Kills With Spartan Laser

When you have a spartan laser and your intending to kill people outside of vehicles with it. Hold down the rt button to charge it up and let it go right before it shoots, that way if someone comes at you around a corner or something your spartan laser will already have been charged up so you can shoot him right away.

Disable Vehicles With The Grenade Launcher

Once you have a grenade launcher, HOLD the right trigger. When you hold the right trigger the grenade doesn’t explode, it just bounces around, when you let go of the right trigger it will explode. When it explodes it acts the same way as the plasma pistol when you overcharge it, but the grenade launcher is better cause it explodes and disables vehicles. This will be useful for disabling banshees and falcons.

Spider Turrets

To make the package level easier have one person hide in the rocks behind turret c since it’ll make things easier for your teamates since the turret’ll help kill some of the enemies massing in front of halseys lab and if it goes offline just come come out reactivate it and hide again the only threat to the person in the rocks is the nearby phantom’s turret just hide in the crevice to avoid it while making pot shots when needed to help your allies.

Armor Lock Floating

First, equip Armor Lock ability. Then stand on a Flacon and take off (with you on top and a friend driving). Finally, throw a sticky grenade on top of the Falcon and stand on the grenade. Right before the grenade explodes, use Armor Lock. Because grenades don’t affect your position in Armor Lock, the Falcon should shoot towards the ground while you stay in the air, floating until you release Armor Lock.

Easy Way To Kill Any Brute

This works with any brute. Get a needle weapon of any kind (rifle, or needler) and shoot it with accuract at a brute. The only way it wont work is if they go in armor lock or dodge. On legendary a normal brute takes 6 needles to kill, a cheiftain takes about 10-15, and a lord taked about 2 accurate clips. With the rifle it is alot less if you get headshots.

Easy Credits

To get easy credits all you have to do is spend about half an hour to an hour in forge and you will get 2000 to 4000 credits per round.

Hijacking A Wraith

To hijack a wraith without damaging it kill the gunner if there is one and get in the turret the driver’ll get out you can then kill him with the turret minimizing the damage you take.

New Weapons

There are also some new weapons for the Covenant and the UNSC. The new weopons for the Covenant are the plasma repeater, needle rifle, concussion rifle, and the plasma launcher. The new weopons for the UNSC are the m392 Designated Mrksman Rifle (DMR), M319 GL grenade launcher, and the H-165 FOM target locator.

Skull Picture On Forge World

First, go to the island in the center of the map. When you get there, go to the top of the mountain. You should see some burn marks but in the center there is a white skull.

Ghost Kill Infection Spire

First YOU get infected. Next you hide where the spire wall is (make sure you are close to the ghost when it goes by).Then you go BESIDE the ghost and use your energy sword.

Easy Way For Big Credits

To get big credit in Halo Reach, first go to custom game. Then have 4 players (if you have 4 consoles) on co-op play. After, choose infection and put the rounds to the highest. Start the match then play by your self and kill the three people over and over. Unless your a human, you could set the settings to 3 zombies. Then you might become a human and kill 3 zombies fo unlimited time.

Easy Defense Towards AI Gun

In the level “Pillar of Autumn” near the end, when your fighting all the brutes. The brute with the gravity hammer, kill him, and grab his hammer. After that switch to your other weapon so you don’t waste its ammo. Then when you are at the part after Emile dies, take out your gravity hammer and enter the building. Melee the grunts because they’re easy to kill, but use the full attack on the (some what hard elites to kill! ) elites. You will be up at the gun in about five seconds tops! This is a easy way to get to the AI gun. Questions or comments if needed on comment box.

Easy Elite Assassinations

On any mission of the campagn, turn your look sensitivity to about 8, 9, 10 (I would recommend 10) and run up to an elite and right before he hits you, quickly pull back on the left stick and move it clockwise as you turn the right stick slowly until your behind an elite and then assassinate it. You have to be quick though.

Twitchy Jumps

On any mode, while your in game, stand in any spot. Pull back on the left stick, then push forward and tap (A) and RB at the same time and you will twitch in mid air. It only works while using the Sprint armor ability.

Ninja Jump

Go to Forge World or Custom Game. Change game options to 50% gravity and 300% jump with 300% speed. Choose Evade as starting equipment. When the round starts use evade and you’ll be like a ninja flying in the sky. WARNING: May end up in dead in open areas. For careful use, play in an enclosed battle field.

6 CAGE LIVING DEAD GLITCHES!

1 . Where humans start go down the stairs turn right there is a hole, jump crawl in and your in

2. (human)when your a human at the zombie spawning point when your at the man cannon don’t go on it to the left is a skinny ramp jump on it turn right and your on the roof (zombies can spawn under you)

3. WARNING be very careful at the end of the man cannon theres a wall CAREFULLY walk behind it

4. Easy on every one does it now but where humans spawn up walk accross the side of near the steps go as far as you can and jump on the roof

5. (easy zombie kills) to kill a human easily if there at your 2nd base (NOT the beggining spawn) if there not at the steps go up the first one there is a window jump in it to sneak attack them

6. (another zombie kill) at the same base from glitch 5 you go to the left only if their at the steps go to the edge at the other side of the steps jump on it then jump on to the steps.

Angry Grunt’s Face On Forge World

You have to be on Forge World to do this. When you spawn in the hangar, go to the edge of it and stand and look at where the horizon and the halo meet. Look up a little bit and you should see what looks like an angry grunt’s face.

Pet Glass Cage On Halo Reach

By the hanger there is a thing that look like a window colliesam under the entrance, go into forge mode and place a teleport inside it and teleporter somewhere else and you be in that glass thingy mabob in no time.

1) you have 2 players start campaign or firefighter

2) while in the campaign press A on controller 3 or 4 And sign in players 3 and 4

3) quit the current campaign/ firefight

4) start the game again, then a second after screen Goes blank you press A on controller 3 and 4 within A split-second of each other (approximately right before the games Says “setting up game”) it takes a lot of practice but once you get it Down enjoy playing with offline buddies in real life** I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT HAPPENS TO THEGAME AFTER THE GLITCH***.

Banches In

You need 2 players to do this. Where you start after you kill every enemy before destroying the guns, have one player stay where the covies were on the water, there should be a house and a box blocking, move it with a Ghost, go all the way to the other post, it’s out of the map, there should be a switch, activated it, tell the other player to turn the switch on (Switch appears after first switch is activated) go back where the Armor Lock and hologram is at, at the roof should be about 4-5 Banshees. NOTE: This may prevent you from destroying the 2 guns. And you can go out of bounds while driving the banshees.

Secret Cave On Forge Word

In the canyon northeast to where you originally spawn in default forge world there is a cave that’s about 12 feet long and not very wide but if you look around in the rocks pointing towards the big array that shoots in the sky you’ll find it.

Super Sprinter

Note! This only works on firefight*, forge, and custom game* (it works best on forge). First, go to movements and set player speed to 300% and *Jump height and gravity to 300%. Then set starting equipment to sprint. Finally, set your map (if firefight choose any. If custom game or forge, a good map would be forge world)if you did this right, you can now outrun any vehicle that you can spawn, but you can’t run on water (although, that would be cool) (*= optional)p. S similar to super jump on forge world.

How To Get A Turret-less Scorpion

NOTE! This only works on ForgeFirst, Set editor life on invulnerable or 2000%. Second, while in editor mode spawn a kill ball (gadgets, toys) and a scorpion (obviously. Vehicles). Third, grab the scorpion and fully put the scorpion (just don’t die). CONGRATS. If you did this right you should have a turret-less scorpion. NOTE! This also works with wraiths, revenants and warthogs (Gauss, rocket, default).

Kill An Enemy Player Fast

In matchmaking, chose any competitor only if you can use a DMR. Get a DMR and if you are close to the player hit em and quickly aim at the head and shoot. ( It may take about 2 shots. ).

Easier Way To Kill Elites On Legendary Mode

Use plasma weapons (plasma rifle, plasma repeater. ) to take out their shields then switch to a weapon that fires bullets to finish the job.

Go Outside Of Forgeworld

Start a forge match, delete all of the respawn points, go outside of the hanger and go up to the outside field above it, place a respawn point, next to the respawn point place a teleporter sender node, go bacck to the forge menu and select reciever node, drag the reiever node to the edge of where the map will let You go, hold down the left trigger and right bumber and push up on the anolog stick and the reciever will start to twitch soonafter the teleporter will fly out of bounds (dragging you with it). You wont be able to sttay out there forever, there is still that pesky countdown timer, after you die you will respawn next to the teleporter, you step through and ur back outside, you can move the teleporter alost anywere except for the actual edges of the map.

Easy Banshees, Fast And Low Achievement

On any difficulty on exidus rally point bata after you save the cavilions, but before the evac ship arives kill the three marines. Next when the falcons land they will start to fight eachother, go up to the closest one and it will say “board enemy ship” hop on the gun and there you go achievement granted. *note* you will be kicked out almost as sone as you take off so you will die but the achievement still stands.

Floating Spartan

You need two players for this cheat to happen. One player turns into a ball and gets out a platform and the other person jumps on the platform and the other person deletes the platform and the other player is floating in mid air one move and that person fall.

Super Slam

As far as I know, this only works on grunts, jackals and skirmishers: Make SURE to have the SPRINT armor ability equipped. Then simply sprint towards an enemy and tap the melee button. This is most effective against the hand-shield jackals. Note: may work on larger enemies if you “soften ’em up a bit” by unloading a few rounds first.

Easy Carter Helmet Avatar Award

To get the avatar award you must finish a campaign level on legendary without dieing. The level to do it is winter contingency, go past the first parts of it until you get to the first time you fight, take out all of them then go to the right, stick to the right the whole level, even in the car. Once you get to the part with the other marines go around the building and keep going until your on top of it. Sit there and keep headshotting everybody. After you get off the falcon for a second time run into the room with Kat and stay there until shes done. After that the other elites are kinda easy to kill just stay behind cover. NOTE: For the last elite with the energy sword DO NOT! Go at him because you will die! Stay back take out the grunts and try to stick him.

Easy Sword Elite Kill On Winter Contingency

When you get to the part when the machines are rising from the ground just kill all the grunts shoot the sword elite then sprint as fast as you can to where you start the just walk back he should be fighting jorge throw a grenade assasinate him or just let jorge do the dirty work hope this helps.

Gold Visor

You know the different color visor options for your helmet. Well there is a gold colored one. It gets unlocked when you reach the rank of captain. It coasts 250, 000 credits but you can only equip it when you are at lt.

Attacking Aliens In Closed Phantom

This is a Glitch which only works on the U shaped Phantom. What you need is a plasma gernade. What you do is when the phantom comes you aim up and run under a part of the U and you throw the plasma gernade under the part that opens. It should go in and stick an enemy.

Skip Respawan On Forge

If you are falling to your death and you forget what to do in that case just wait until you ALMOST hit the ground. The up key and your see your stuff fall on the ground but no body. When you get out of your orb you will I have a full thing of ammo (only if you shot your gun). You just survived death. This can even be used to get ammo if you truly want to do that. This is all in the timing that you do this. It says you did not die.

Makeshift Warthog

You know the trucks you drive on the mission winter contingency? Well even though it doesn’t have a turret Noble 5 can get on the back of the truck which turns it into an improvised warthog.

Armor Abilities

Here are all the different Armor Abilities in the game. I think the abilities are self-explanatory.

Jet Pack

Sprint

Holographic Decoy

Active Camofloge

Drop Shield

Armor Lock

Evade

Cheats

Lower Your Weapon!

You can only do this when you’re playing offline. Lower your weapon by holding down “Grenade Switch” + “Reload” + Click the Right Stick + Down on the D-Pad. That would be B + X + CLICK RIGHT STICK + DOWN (D-Pad) on the default controls, but this also works if you have different control settings!

Easy Fast Forward

To easily get fast-forward to work without ruining your trigger finger, do the following: Hold RT and press START. Then let go of RT and press START again. Now it will fast forward automatically.

Unlock REACH RACER Easter Egg

When you’re in mission 03 (Oni: Sword Base) there are two hidden switches that look like “doors” that you can open only with both players in a Co-op Match. Both can be found after Rally Point Alpha where you must destroy the wraiths. Switch A is on the coast of the water a little southeast from the buildings with a pair switches you must activate. It is on a pile of rocks near the big frozen waterfall. You’ll know you are standing in the right place when you get a message saying “Hold X to Open Door.” You must reload your weapon before getting to this point. Switch B is just past the AA cannon in the next area. A pile of rocks with some trees on it overlooks the big walled complex on the ice below that area. With both players standing in these places, press X simultaneously (at the same time) and a message will appear on screen saying “REACH RACER” You will then be warped to the Oni: Sword Base with two Gauss Cannon Wart Hogs ready for racing. The race course is marked with red waypoints. The loser’s warthog blows up and you can start again!

Falling Gracefully

To take less damage when falling, you can try to crouch just before you land – it’s all in the timing – and it can make it so you don’t take as much damage when you hit the ground.

Fast Melee

You can use this trick from Halo 2 – to get faster melee attacks: Pres RB and then quick press X and RB together. This should make you hit faster.

Easter eggs

The Face On Halo Returns Easter Egg

On Forgeworld (it doesn’t matter which map you’re on), walk out to the edge of the hangar and use your weapon to zoom in on the background where you see Halo making its huge loop around. At the base of the ring you will see the face of Chris Carney among the clouds of the Halo.

No Weapon And Laser Easter Egg!

Glitches

Keep Gaining Credits Glitch

You HAVE to have xbox live for this glitch. You go to the challenge that requires you to get 250 kills. Get 249 kills then save the game, disconnect your xbox live cable or adapter, then plug it back in. You should still have the credits you earned. Do the same thing and you will gain credits by the thousands each time!

Living Dead Zombie Base Glitch (two People)

Over at the zombie base (not first spawn) if you go up the steps where a little opening on the right is a little ramp go up it make shure both of you are on it then jump on top of eachother then jump on the roof. The only problem is the second player cannot come on the roof but you are invincible.

Easy Credit Glitch

Go to campaign on Halo Reach select the third mission. Then select difficulty Heroic or Legendary (for you skilled people out there) and put all primary skills on except iron and start mission. Then you start mission go to the right were this elite should be pass or kill him it doesn’t matter then stay to the right way (there is a ledge on the wall you can jump on). Do this until you get to the building were you will see an armor lock and an ordinance target ray gun. Pick it up and then use armor lock. Then fire gun and run back to the back of the building until it says checkpoint and then die somehow. You should then respawn to where you fired the ray gun and just repeat this and you will get a ton of credits.

Pelican Turret Glitch

During the mission where you fly onto the corvette with Jorge to deliver the slip-space bomb (also the mission where Jorge dies), you can actually use the turret on the pelican that is holding the bomb. While you are in the lobby that has the pelican with ammo/guns/health packs behind it go to the front of the pelican. On either side there should be yellow arrows pointing towards the wings. Crouch at the nose of the ship and walk towards the wings while holding the button you use to enter turrets (changes depending on your controller setup). You should end up inside the turret and be invincible. There is a way to see out of the turret but I forgot how but I think it has something to do with spinning the turret around.

Forge Wall Glitch

On forge, go to forge world and in the hanger put a two way teleporter. One anywhere you want, the other has to be put behind the wall on the far right side of the hanger ( opposite the entrance) there you will be able to teleport behind the wall. Don’t move around though there is a countdown timer if you go to far.

Forge Armor Lock Glitch

Go to forge, put down 2 armor locks grab one use it, go into forge mode (up on d-pad)then for the other one press it and press delete all of these items now your invincible except for assasinations.

Forge World Glitch

On forge world go in the cave in the mountain and there will be a blank canvas, spawn a machine gun turret and put it on the opposite side of the big door, and put it right up against the wall, now use the turret and look up and then press up on the d pad and you should be in the circle, so then press up again and you will be outside of the boundries but get close to the wall or you will blow up, and you can walk through walls and stuff. Have fun.

Do you wish your father was more like Souta and Inuyasha?

Towa paused at this question, thinking of everything that had happened. "I... I don't... no, I don't, I really don't."

She frowned, sitting against a tree. "It's heartwarming, you know? Seeing how uncle Inuyasha is with Moroha-chan, and of course how Souta-papa was with me growing up... but. It's just- listen, I accept my bio dad isn't like that, OK? He's just not... that kind of person. But... listen. I resent a lot of things my dad did. I wish he had been here DURING everything. I get that I was sent into the future, I get he couldn't raise Setsuna without putting her in danger because I just know that Zero would have done something... it sucked. This rite of courage and cowardice fucking sucked, and I wish he had helped us more, he SHOULD have helped us out more, but I. I'm moving past that. I’m working on moving past it. But..."

"... I'm not a mind reader, you know. I barely know my dad. And it's like... it's like..." She made a gesture with her hands. "My mom and Jaken know him so well it's like they know his emotions. Even when he has that... that... that fucking stoic expression he ALWAYS has. It's like they KNOW when he's happy, or proud, or whatever; but I don't! I feel like we're a million miles apart because of it! I don't know if he's happy, I don't know if he's upset! Just... just..."

Towa bit her lip.

"... I just wished he'd use his words for this."

"... I want to say it to him. 'Dad. Are you proud of me?' ... 'Dad, do you love me?'"

"I."

She covered her eyes.

"... I don't think I'm asking for a lot with that. I... I just want t hear it with his words. I don’t think that’s a lot to ask my dad."

"Towa-chan, will you let your hair grow one day?" ( :33333)

“Long hair...?” She hadn’t really... tried it in recent memory. Towa let her hair grow out a bit when she was younger; but then she started getting into fights, and learned the hard way having your hair pulled during a fight was not fun. It was around the same time she stopped dressing femininely, finding boy’s clothes easier to move about in.

She always thought it was kind of pretty, though. Sometimes Towa liked to think about better days, her old hair sometimes came to mind when she did.

Towa didn’t really know if she wanted to dress a certain way or not, but maybe when the fighting was done and the people she loved could live in peace...

... Just maybe.

“I’ll think about it, okaasan.”

“... If I did, ah... okaasan, it’s been a long time so... could you show me how to take proper care of it? If you wouldn’t mind...”

[compassionatehanyou]

Did she abhor him? Despised his being? Silence ensued upon them, like a piercing dagger perfurating their hearts. He closes his golden hues and inhales softly, sensing her indignation on the atmosphere. “You’re so similiar to her, Towa.” The same spontaneity, obstinacy, so like the one who had bestowed him a heart, who taught him love. Elegantly the great dog demon approches his own daugther, a clawed palm resting upon her silver hair, so identically to his own. “One day you’ll understand.” His hand slides down and he walks away. ( I'M NOT SORRY AT ALL :3)

Towa kept her guard up, her eyes still narrowed. Towa didn’t know how she felt about this man, truly, at heart. But... the feelings she understood where negative.

Towa knew she had done everything he could to try to save his own family.

And she knew that Moroha’s family had to pay the price for it. And this man, her father, refused to talk to her to explain what the fuck was going on. To say it pissed her off was an understatement.

Towa’s purpose was to protect one person: Setsuna. Although, the more time went on, the more she found herself protecting everyone around her, and with the apparent words that she was to protect an entire era...

All Towa was good at was fighting. Towa didn’t know how to do or think about anything else. She had a responsibility to the one whose hand she had let go ten years ago. Towa’s existence was like that a sword, capable of only one thing and one thing alone.

Her entire existence was defined by protecting others. Even though she was naïve and single-minded in her goals, her goals were something she embraced fully.

“...!”

“You’re so similar to her, Towa.”

It reminded her of what Kaede had said.

“You’re just like her.”

This woman, Rin, who she barely knew about, yet was compared to multiple times.

“I don’t...! Want to hear that from you...!”

It was rare that Towa was truly enraged, but this conversation was pushing her limits. She did not know her mother, but knew that Setsuna’s goal and ambition was now to save her. The one her own sister yearned to protect. But everything she had heard of Rin, limited as it was, spoke only of kindness. How did such a union work with this... aloof man who seemed larger than life, watching from a distance?

No.

No, to hear this from him, it infuriated her.

She did not want to hear this when she could know barely anything of her own mother, not from him, not when she wasn’t even sure if despite being her father if Sesshomaru was her ally, if he would not become her inevitable enemy as the Tree of Ages claimed he would be.

Someone whose life existed for the sole purpose of protecting others should not have others sacrificed to keep them safe.

Rather, if need be, it was herself who should be sacrificed for the sake of Setsuna, Moroha, and others.

That was the only kind of outcome that Towa could accept.

Higurashi Towa’s life existed solely for this exact purpose of protecting others, and Towa would accept her end if that purpose was fulfilled.

Every fiber of her being was enraged.

“I DON’T WANT TO HEAR THIS SHIT FROM YOU!”

Towa practically roared at her father upon feeling her touch, jumping backwards, hand on the Hoshikiri no Fue, ready to play the flute to transform it into it’s true form. “I won’t understand! I don’t want to understand you-! I’LL REJECT WHATEVER YOU WANT ME TO UNDERSTAND!”

But, as she screamed, he was already walking away.

Deep down, though, she truly wished she could understand him, despite it all.

“Hey, ah, obasan... I’m sorry to bother you so suddenly but I just kind of wanted to ask something, if it’s alright?”

Towa wasn’t quite sure how to ask it; it was an awkward question, but family was family, right? Even one as fragmented and injured as this one... “I... I wanted to ask- something about Sesshomaru.”

“... Is he always like this? Like... just. Appearing then disappearing without saying much... has my father always been like that?” It would’ve been a lie to say that Towa wasn’t... distressed by it. Tremendously so, actually.

“I’m just... trying to figure this man out, is all.”

Towa still struggled to say “father” when talking about him, things still felt too impersonal.

“I was, ah, just kind of wondering, uncle...”

Towa scratched behind her head. Even after returning home to her own era, this world was still so foreign to her in so many ways. “It’s, ah- about my father. Sesshomaru. I was kind of... ya know, curious?”

Oh she did not know what can of worms she was opening.

“Hey, Moroha... what do you think you’re gonna do when everything is over?”

Towa had seemed troubled, as of late.

“This is the place you must protect, but also what you must let go of.”

So she needed to protect the Reiwa Era, before returning to the Sengoku Jidai for good? Towa could only assume such a thing. She knew that world was not her true place of belonging, as much as she would miss her family there, if she had to leave it behind...

... And then what? What could possibly come after, when there was not a present danger, and people she had to protect?

“Just... curious, is all.”

Towa did not know anything beyond fighting and protecting the person she as an older sister was responsible, and giving her support to all around her as well.

“Sesshomaru-sama trully loves you Towa-chan, and your sister. Onegai, don’t see him as a ill man. He did what he did to protect everyone. I told him to execute me, to save you both but he chose to try to save everyone and that’s why all this happened.” Rin uttered, sitting next to her daugther. Towa sounded so perturbed, so resentful. What could she do to assuage her suffering? “I guess it’s somewhat my responsibility too. Demo, I’m just content you two are alive and that I’m able to hug you.” ( I PROMISSE I'LL STOP LOL)

"... I..."

Towa frowned, looking down as her mother spoke. Towa didn't like upsetting her mother; even though they had only been able to know each other for a short time, she'd taken an immediate attachment to the woman. Someone so kind, gentle, and compassionate...

"You're just like her."

Yes, that's what Kaede had said. But then there was her father, and she didn't understand it...

"I don't know what you see in him."

After hiding it for so long, she finally let it out.

"I'm sorry, okaasan, I'm so sorry," Towa said afterwards, her voice breaking a bit. "I just... I don't understand this man. I don't feel anything in him... I don't want to be ungrateful, I don't want to hurt you too," Towa admitted, looking straight into her mother's eyes.

"I just... I can't accept what he's done... and I... and I... God, I can't even feel comfortable calling him 'otosan.' Some daughter I turned out to be..."

She wondered if the Tree of Ages’ prediction was correct, and one day that she would have to kill her father, and the man that her mother loved.

“... You’re... Souta-papa’s older sister, right?”

It was later in the evening- Towa had opted to stay out of the way of the recently reunited family and give them their space; it wasn’t her reunion or victory to really celebrate, and Moroha deserved her time alone with her parents after being separated for so long. But when alone with the miko, she couldn’t help but bring herself to ask about it.

“... Higurashi Souta, from the shrine, I mean...”

"You don’t have to worry so much.” Towa seemed genuinely concerned about her. “It’s just a blemish. I’m used to it.” A giggle. Rin is occasionally clumsy. However, sweet how concerned the princess looked, as if her mother is made of porcelain, shatterable at any minute. ( you know who! Mommy time!)

"Mama, you need to be careful!" Look at her. Scolding her own mother.

“You’re a human. You could get really hurt if you’re not careful...” Towa was, of course, naturally a worrywart: her existence was defined by protecting others. Even something as simple as a little fall made her worried when it was her family. “Are you sure you weren’t hurt anywhere else...?”

“How long have you been here? ” A stern voice pierces the firmament, amber hues gazing at the rose ones, long silver mane falling upon his shoulders. Is he following her? Ensuring her safety? Perhaps. Somehow he’s always watching, appearing when imperative. ( Not sorry, you know who! Dad time! )

"... I don't need you to watch me, Sesshomaru. I can take care of myself."

Things were still... complicated in their relationship, to say the least. The understanding of what he had done to her cousin's family, even if it was done to protect her own...

Things were. Complicated. That was the absolute kindest way to put it.

Towa just couldn't bring herself to love this man, even though she felt guilty about it, despite feeling like she shouldn’t have been. “You usually show up when you have something to say or share... do you have more news? Something about Kirinmaru, or something? Moroha’s parents? ... Rin?”

“... I agree with uncle. There’s a distinct difference between chicken nuggets and McNuggets. It’s not the same! And parents need to stop acting like it’s the same!”
