Pandora
From Devil May Cry Wiki
The Pandora is a demonic briefcase which appears in Devil May Cry 4, and is obtained from Dagon's Hell Gate, which it was used to power. It is able to transform into 666 separate, calamitous forms[1], and incorporates the Disaster Gauge into its functioning. In Devil May Cry 4 Dante has access to seven of these forms.

[edit] Disaster Gauge
The Disaster Gauge is a gauge which is filled through successful use of Pandora's basic forms, though each form fills the gauge by differing amounts. The gauge determines the strength of Pandora's Gunslinger attacks, and the gauge is depleted through their use. The effect of the Gauge varies between the techniques.

[edit] Background
Pandora's Box was a jar in Classical mythology which held all the evils of the world. It was given to the first woman, Pandora, as a gift for her wedding to Epimetheus, and because of her curiosity she disobeyed her husband and opened it, releasing evil into the world.
666 the supposed number of forms for Pandora is also the Number of The Beast in the Bible.
[edit] Trivia
- As shown in the cutscene, Dagon is weak to the Pandora, as he is weak at avoiding long-range damage.
- Also at the end of the same cutscene Pandora accidentally opens (though Dante quickly closes it) which is a reference to aforesaid myth.
