====== NG Nero / Dante Mission 13 ====== Target LRT - sub 2:25 A very tough mission that can easily lose you a lot of time. The [[dmc4:enemy#Assault|Assaults]] are tough to deal with just the rebellion, and they run around everywhere, making it hard to set up any cycle.\\ In **Mission 13**, it is not required to purchase anything from the shop unless you're missing some abilities or items from the previous mission. ===== General Notes ===== * The fastest way to kill an [[dmc4:enemy#Assault]] is to hit them from behind, as they receive 2x damage when attacking their back. Do Combo A, Stinger or Shotgun for maximum damage in this case. * The most efficient way to get rid of the [[dmc4:enemy#Chimera]] on the [[dmc4:enemy#Assault]] is to Shotgun them. The fastest way to Shotgun is to loop Jump → Shotgun. * The use of the [[dmc4:tricks:camera_trick]] will be useful here, so the [[dmc4:enemy#Assault|Assaults]] come to you, and you don't get sniped by projectiles. * In **Windswept Valley**, you can Shotgun the first spawning [[dmc4:enemy#Chimera|Chimera Assault]] to position him for damage. The fastest way to deal damage is to DT Combo A or do a Drive setup. The DT Stinger is also great for hitting multiple [[dmc4:enemy#Assault|Assaults]] to the ground at the same time. * In **Ancient Plaza**, you should NOT use any DT to get a consistent and fast cycle on the boss [[dmc4:bosses:echidna]] later. Safest way to kill an [[dmc4:enemy#Assault]] is to do the Prop → Shredder combo to keep them stunned. A good tip to set up an [[dmc4:enemy#Assault]] is to Stinger to set up the [[dmc4:enemy#Assault]] and do a second Stinger where you close up the distance. * In **Lost Woods**, follow this path: Go forward, back, right and right. * Refer to a more detailed explanation of [[dmc4:bosses:echidna]] here. The way you set up [[dmc4:bosses:echidna]] is that you carefully time a E&I Charge Shot to stun [[dmc4:bosses:echidna]] briefly. This way, the boss should not fly away. Once up, pop DT, do 2 sets of Combo A and start doing 1 → 2 → Prop loop to keep [[dmc4:bosses:echidna]] from moving. Keep in mind this loop is not possible without DT. Once stunned, use a Small Devil Star and Combo A her until the health bar is below 3 bars and then use a Holy Water to end the fight. Learn the 1 Menu Cycle once you get comfortable dealing consistent damage. ===== Fight Cycles ===== > **Windswept Valley** * [[youtube>embed/pxHHaLp3Qbc?autoplay=0&wmode=transparent&start=0|Standard Cycle]] * [[youtube>embed/HeIsPDgb0XY?autoplay=0&wmode=transparent&start=0|Drive Setup]] > **Ancient Plaza** * [[youtube>embed/7Vb-W8FBZcc?autoplay=0&wmode=transparent&start=0|Standard Cycle]] > [[dmc4:bosses:echidna]] * [[twitchclip>CarelessPrettyWheelTF2John-0L0wnvX4PZxKGD53|Echidna CS Setup]] * [[youtube>embed/o0xPl6yx-L0?autoplay=0&wmode=transparent&start=0|2 Menu Cycle]] * [[youtube>embed/UfPp6wFAJuQ?autoplay=0&wmode=transparent&start=0|1 Menu Cycle]] ===== Video References ===== * [[youtube>embed/ggApvTHuOYo?autoplay=0&wmode=transparent&start=0|Mission 13 Community Gold]] \\
