Unlimited orbs

A great place for orbs is the fifth secret mission found on
stage 9. Go through the level untill you get to the area where
you get the spiral. Go through the passageway underneath the
waterfall and up through a small tunnel directly across from
where you. The secret mission is marked by a few bright
glowing crystals. Once inside you must destroy every breakable
object within 40 seconds. The jukebox contains 500 red orbs,
although there are many other things to smash as well. Since
you can repeatedly pass/fail this mission and not encounter
any enemies, you can repeat this process for lots of easy
orbs!

(Dante), although the Doppelganger is invincible.


The Trial Of Intelligence
In mission 5, the trial of intelligence involves a hazy and misleading clue.
Take a look at the skulls above each doorway and note how many "red dots" there
are. Each door will thus have one, two, three, or 4 red dots. Enter doors 4,
2, and 3 to claim the essence of intelligence. How this relates to the riddle
printed on the trial's pedastel is a question best answered by Capcom's
translation department.


The riddle in Mission 6 for Trial of Intelligence is the classic "Riddle of
the Sphinx" from greek mythology. The Door with 4 dots represents a baby's
hands and feet as crawls on the ground. The door with 2 dots represents the
two feet of a young man standing upright. The door with 3 dots represents
the old man walking on a cane. Go in the doors in that order as instructed in
the riddle. Knowing this reasoning will better help a player remembering the
order 4, 2, 3.
