For balancing reasons, this version of the Sparda sword behaves just like the standard non-devil trigger version that the player gets later. Yamato however transforms into his namesake weapon. Attacks for Alastor and Ifrit remain the same.

In Devil Trigger mode, this costume will always take on the demonic form of Sparda. The same goes for Ebony & Ivory, which have been changed to Luce & Ombra, respectively. Yamato operates exactly like Alastor, however, so it appears to be more of a model swap than a new weapon. Unlike Dante, this costume starts out with a Devil Arm, Yamato, and thus, can even activate Devil Trigger at the beginning of the game and the character´s shadow shows Sparda´s demonic form. The player assumes the role of the Legendary Dark Knight Sparda, replacing Dante with his father in every cutscene as well. He transforms into Sparda´s form as the epic battle begins. With a mighty imperative word to silence the Demon Emperor, Mundus flies up to the clouds just to lure Dante. Dante questions the reason of creating Trish while Mundus rhetorically answers that he could create anything, just like he created Trish for his plot to weaken Dante. In the cutscenes, the statue starts to crack as it glows to release inside of it, Mundus spread his wings to shape the background into a dimension that he transports Dante into it.

Dante becomes enraged and unleashes his full power, a power that was inherited by Sparda. Mundus tries to finish him off, but Trish takes the attack instead. As Dante is talking to Trish about her resemblance to his mother, he asks her to stay where she was Yet when he finally confronts Mundus, who is about to kill Trish for his plan, Dante again chooses to save her and gets injured in the process. But when her life is endangered, Dante chooses to save her. When Dante next meets Trish, she betrays him and reveals that she too is working for Mundus.
