Devil May Cry 2 Cheat Codes for Playstation 2

Ride the Chicken
When facing Phantom, shortly after you slash at the eye, quickly equip the Frost Heart, Offense Heart, and Quick Heart. The Frost Heart is most effective against the fire Boss (duh.), while the Offense Heart will boost your attacks even more when your in DT (Devil Trigger). When Phantom is normally walking, or even when he has his quard up, jump up onto his back and quickly turn on Devil Trigger, and fire constant Ice Bullets in his back. He will try to buck you off, just keep firing and guide DAnte to land back on Phantoms back. This may save you from a jam if your Health is low. WARNING: Do NOT Jump On Phantoms Back When His Scorpion Tail Is Drawn, It HURTS!

Double shotgun blast
Stand just near the edge of a building and shoot your gun. While shooting, go to move off the edge. The moment that you are off the edge, you will immediately fire another shot from your shotgun.

Fast shotgun fire and reload
Jump in the air twice, fire, and keep pressing L2.

Shotgun tricks
As Dante, have the shotgun equipped. Then, hold R1 to aim at something. Next, swing your sword. The actions go as follow. Swing then fire: Dante does a somersault to the side and fires his shotgun; two swings then fire: Dante uses his shotgun like a pair of nunchuks firing twice; three swings then fire: Dante spins around on the last swing and into a kneel, shooting over his knee as support.

Quick recovery
If you get hit and thrown to the ground, press Circle as soon as you hit the ground and you will immediately bounce back up.

Dante: Ultimate Devil Trigger attack
To do the Ultimate Devil Trigger into Sparda demon form, press L1 when Dante's life bar is low. The Sparda form is incredibly strong and deals huge damage.

Dante: Moves
While in Devil Trigger, press Triangle x2, then quickly press Triangle + Analog-stick. Dante will shoot out a lot projectiles that resemble arrows. The color depends on what amulet you have equipped.

Lucia: Ultimate Devil Trigger attack
When in Lucia's Devil Trigger, equip the Aerial Heart and fly in the air after they are near you. Press Triangle + Square constantly until you do not have control of Lucia. She will perform an attack similar to the Phantom's Volcano Ass attack. It will take a lot of Devil Trigger. If you keep pressing it fast it will not waste Devil Trigger at all, but it will eventually stop.
