| When vitality is running low and the devils are moving in for the kill, you can use items to regain your strength and continue kicking some butt. OBTAINING ITEMS Each character starts off with a Cital Star S and a Devil Star S. Most items are purchased from shops (such as God of Time Statues, and the Power Up menu before each mission). To purchase items, you must collect Red Orbs released by enemies that are defeated or from the enviroment. Usually, each item you purchase causes the price to rise. For instance, the first Vital Star S purchased costs 1000 Red Orbs, while the second one will cost 2000 Red Orbs, etc. The cost continues to rise until you have purchased five of the item, and then the price freezes for the remainder of your purchases. This rise in cost is to dissuade you from relying on the use of items, since they lower your mission ranking. You can purchase all items save for Red Orbs, White Orbs, Blue Orb Fragment, Green Orbs, Holy Waters, and Amulet Stones. USING ITEMS To use an item during combat, press SELECT to enter the Status menu. Choose the item option, and use L3 to select an item to use.

Amulet Stones inserted into these amulets enhance their abilities while in DT. Crescent moon-shaped stones add new abilites such as improved swimming or running and even flying. Circular stones add the power of magical elements to attacks, so that fire, ice, or lightning occur during fighting. Teardrop stones allow the wearer to regain health, deal double damage, and even stop enemies in their tracks. Three of these stones can be inserted into the amulet at one time, one of each shape.

Most demons are weak against fire, but those that use fire themselves will be strong against it. Creatures that use ice attacks or live underwater will be weak against it.
