Trivia[]
The colors of every award icon are based on their PlayStation grade. (platinum, gold, silver and bronze)
"Who Needs Weapons Anyway?" requires the player to first complete Son of Sparda mode to unlock Dante's "Irregular Full Custom" skill, then for them to unequip all swords and guns. Dante has no unarmed melee moves, so only the Royalguard Style, Sin Devil Trigger and Taunts can be used to inflict damage.
The Awards "Stairway to Heaven" and Highway to Hell" are references to the songs of the same name performed by Led Zeppelin and AC/DC respectively.
"Slam Dunk", "Too Easy" and "Rest in Peace" are only available on Steam and Xbox One of the original version of the game, likewise, "Path of the Conquerors" is only available on the PS4.
