Finished Dante Must Die (no items!), then went ahead and finished Hell and Hell mode in DMC4 (Super characters but no items).
HaH wasn't that difficult, surprisingly, since you land there straight from DMD and the 3-Gold-Orb deal pretty much denies the entire point of the mode. Unsurprisingly, however, it's not fun. Hardest part was M14, the Blitz room followed by the room with all the Chimera-Assaults. NOT cool to die in the second and have to do the first again.
Now I only have Human mode to finish, plus getting the last move for each character and 8 Blue Orb Fragments.
