In half of the game’s levels, you’ll stumble upon some demonic etching. If you can line up the etchings so that it looks like a fully circular glyph, you’ll be able to play the secret mission the etching is hiding. Here are the secret missions we’ve found:

  • Secret Mission 01: Eliminate all of the demons
  • Secret Mission 02: Don’t let any Red Empusa escape!
  • Secret Mission 03: Collect all of the Red Orbs.
  • Secret Mission 04: Eliminate all of the demons without taking a hit.
  • Secret Mission 05: Get to the goal without touching the ground.
  • Secret Mission 06: Eliminate all of the demons in 20 seconds or less.
  • Secret Mission 07: Aim for their weak point and take them down with a single bullet.
  • Secret Mission 08: Maintain an S Stylish Rank.
  • Secret Mission 09: Stay in the air for more than 15 seconds.
  • Secret Mission 10: Get to the goal without touching the ground.
  • Secret Mission 11: Head straight for the goal!
  • Secret Mission 12: Collect a set amount of Red Orbs.

Completing a secret mission usually yields a Blue Orb as a reward. Want to know where we’ve found the secret missions? No problems — we’ve made a handy guide.
