The Merciless is a weak sword which appears in Devil May Cry 2. It is designed with snakes engraved into it.[1]

Gameplay[]

The Merciless has a long range due to its length. However, its thinness[2] means it provides the least raw damage of Dante's swords.

The Merciless is found in a shrine in the Underground Tomb during Mission 11 of Dante's scenario.

If you don't pick it up here, you may get it in Mission 14, it will be lying near the second power orb.
