Through the story of Devil May Cry 5, players will come across side missions that offer up some neat detours on your journey.
These Secret Missions are marked by pentagrams found lying around certain areas of stages that players need to line up to activate. Once you've found a glowing red beacon, turn the camera around to find one half of a pentagram. Keep moving the camera until you find the second half of the pentagram and line it up. This will activate the Secret Mission.
Whether it's a time trial to see how fast you can take out demons or maintaining your rank, the Secret Mission in Devil May Cry 5 will test the skills you've learned as Nero, V and Dante.
For your trouble, you'll receive a Blue Orb for completing each Secret Mission which increases your Vitality. This will come in handy, especially toward the end game. But don't worry if you can't complete the Secret Mission when you first find it, as long as you activate it you can always go to the main menu and select the quest from there.
There are 12 Secret Missions in total in Devil May Cry 5. Here's all their locations.
DEVIL MAY CRY 5 SECRET MISSION 1 (Found in Mission 2)
The first Secret Mission is pretty easy to find. As you make your way inside of the decrepit building of Mission 2 you'll be taught about the Nidhogg Hatchlings. After completing the puzzle using the Hatchling,tentacle vines force you into a bedroom.
Once you enter the bedroom the game will stop to teach you about Secret Missions and show you where it is and how to activate it. Find the red beacon near the bed and turn your camera until you line up the pentagram.

About halfway through the Mission, you'll need to use Nero's zip wire ability to hop into a sewer. You'll eventually see roots blocking a door with an exit sign.

Summon Nightmare so it breaks through and follow the path made until you find a Nidhogg Hatchling. Go back and take the left path past the mural building and on the left at the end of the path unlock the door using the Hatchling. Follow this new patch until you find the red beacon to line up the pentagram.

Dante will jump down a hole to enter some ruins in Mission 11, destroy the red tendrils holding Red Orbs that allow you to go down further, but DO NOT go down, jump your way back up to the platform that got you to this area.

This mission has a bit of a puzzle in it. There's a statue in the middle of the stage that has four pools that you need to fill up with blood. After completing this puzzle, go down the hold that opens as you walk down some stairs. However, here is where the pentagram is.
