Demon Levels

I couldn’t find any counter that shows how many demon points I’ve acquired, but the more points you collect, the more apparent becomes the horn in Snake’s head. There are three Demon levels, which cause three different stages of horn growth:
  1. Normal Snake – basic appearance of Venom Snake
  2. Horn Snake – 20,000 Demon Points. Horn in Snake’s head becomes longer.
  3. Demon snake – 50,000 Demon Points. The horn is much longer and your uniform becomes permanently blood-stained even if you try to shower.
