The Gilgamesh is obtained at the end of Mission 13: The Devil Returns, after defeating Echidna. Similar to the mask, the back armor, which resembles a pair of small metallic wings, doesn't seem to serve a real purpose during gameplay. Whenever Dante is charging an attack, the mask covers his face, but its real function is never specified (though it seems to be implied that it prevents the user from breathing the gas which comes out of the thrusters during the charging process). The gauntlets have small drills on each arm capable of extending during some attacks, while the greaves have small saws allowing Dante to cut through enemies with kicks. Gilgamesh is an armor-like weapon made of a devilish metal which absorbs organic material and transforms it to steel, and its techniques can be powered up by engaging the thrusters on the gauntlets and greaves. Ebony's ejection port is located on the left side of the weapon, as opposed to the right side (as Ebony is meant to be used left-handed, this causes spent brass to be ejected away from Dante.)īoth weapons have an outside extractor, resembling Browning Hi-Power pistols. Both weapons use ergonomic wood grips which are inlaid with portraits of Victorian women as befits their names, Ebony's is dark-haired, and Ivory's is fair-haired. Ebony features a hooked, two-handed trigger-guard, while Ivory uses a more traditional rounded trigger-guard. Both have gold-plated magazine releases, hammers, safety switches and triggers. Both guns use double-stack magazines with slam-pads. These rails are used to hold the compensators in place. Rails have been bolted to the forward portion of both frames. The result is a slide that bears a resemblance to SIG-Sauer's M1911 line.

Both use custom slides that have been noticeably thickened and reinforced along the slide travel rails and around the chamber and firing mechanism. Both barrels are extend through the compensators and are ported to match the cuts in the compensators. Both feature ported muzzle compensators that reduce recoil and counteract muzzle flip. Both feature custom sight systems Ebony uses a set of target sights, while Ivory uses a pair of combat sights Both pistols have been modified with pivot-style triggers as opposed to the 1911's usual straight-pull trigger, this modification resembles the Browning Hi-Power pistol. 45 ACP round, and boast a plethora of customized features:

The right-handed white gun, Ivory, was custom built for rapid firing and fast draw times, while the left-handed black gun, Ebony, has been modified for long-distance targeting and comfort.Įbony & Ivory are both M1911-style handguns chambered for the. Ebony & Ivory are Dante's trademark pair of personally customised, semi-automatic pistols, designed to rapidly fire bullets instilled with his demonic power, and are the only weapon to appear in every installment in the series.
