Blue Orb pieces are scattered around the game, and getting all of them will be key to beating the game on Dante Must Die difficulty mode, so I highly recommend getting them all before that play through. Note that blue orbs are attained from Secret Missions and the Time Statues also. For the locations of the Secret Missions, check out The Secret’s Out. Note that 5 Blue Orbs are bought from the Time Statue.

If you do not get the Blue Orb from jumping first, the Secret Mission does not activate for the next Mission. A massive thanks to Kheapathic for this important fact.
