[edit] Gold Orbs

These are very similar to the yellow orbs in Devil May Cry 1. They fully revitalize someone after they die in the middle of the level, with a full vitality gauge and a full devil trigger gauge. The difference between the two orbs is that the gold orbs, revitalizes you exactly at the spot where you had died, unlike in DMC1 where you would have to start at the nearest save point. They are found sparsely throughout the levels.

[edit] Green Orbs

These green orbs increase your vitality gauge. They are usually gotten when you are fighting enemies and you lose health. They can also be found laying around in certain areas.
