====== NG Dante Mission 18 ======
Target IGT - 1:25
This is the last and one of the most difficult push to close out [[dmc2:chapters:ng_dante|NG Dante]] run. It's highly advised that during marathon setting, you should make a back up save after you enter the mission. Because you cannot undo your item usage at all after a mission restart. Therefore, if you don't have {{:wiki:dmc5gold.png?nolink&15|}} then you should consider doing this.\\
\\
Your Buy List depends on the overall {{:wiki:dmc1redorb.png?nolink&25|}} economy:
* **Waifu Route** - Safe Round Trip cycle = 1 Small and 1 Large Devil Stars
* **Standard Route** - Standard Majin cycle = 2 Small and 1 Large.
* **Optimal Route** - Optimal Majin cycle = 2 Large Devil Stars and 1 Smell of Fear
===== General Notes =====
* Do not over use DT and stay on the track with the [[dmc2:enemy#argosax|Argosax]] health.
* There are 2 reliable way to set up Majin HP. One is triple laser hit. The other is [[youtube>embed/7M96d9IGxfY?autoplay=1&wmode=transparent&start=196|Orangguerra Combo that is found by Stuby]]
* Current fastest method is but that is RNG heavy and requires to adapt in bad situation.
* The current fastest method uses [[youtube>embed/inMjcjyaOiU?autoplay=1&wmode=transparent&start=196|1-pixel health]], but it’s highly RNG-dependent and requires quick adaptation when things go wrong.
* If you’re worried about dying or wasting items in Phase 1, don’t hesitate to use an in-game mission save as a backup. You might lose the run or some time, but you’ll still gain valuable practice.
* Only use a preemptive Majin transformation against [[dmc2:enemy#thedespairembodied|Despair]] if you absolutely have no other way to save time. It’s better to finish with a clean, ideal pattern fight rather than relying on a [[youtube>embed/O8Aj26QwjTc?autoplay=1&wmode=transparent&start=196|gamble]].
* You can refer to the [[dmc2:bosses:argosax|Final Boss Cycle here]].
