====== NG Nero / Dante Mission 16 ====== Target LRT - sub 2:30 One of the easier [[dmc4:chapters:nero_dante_info|Dante]] missions once you get the [[dmc4:skips:gas_skip]] down consistently. You need DT for the skip, so if you run out of DT you have to restart the mission, losing you roughly ~20 seconds.\\ Before you start, buy Trickster Lv4 and Gunslinger Lv2 as these abilities are required to perform the [[dmc4:skips:gas_skip]]. You can sell abilities like Get More Orbs, E&I Charge Shot 1 and Stinger 2 if you need some extra proud souls {{dmc4:proudsoul.png?nolink&25}}. If you're doing [[dmc4:skips:gas_skip]], you can even sell Swordmaster Lv4 if necessary, but you need to stop by the Divinity Statue before [[dmc4:bosses:berial]] if you do this. Purchase 2 Holy Waters from the Items shop as well. ===== No Gas Skip ===== If you've decided to not perform the [[dmc4:skips:gas_skip]], here's some example fight cycles: * [[youtube>embed/o74bsvrEETY?autoplay=0&wmode=transparent&start=0|R&D Access Fight Cycle]] - E&I Charge Shot is an excellent way to stop nearby [[dmc4:enemy#Cutlass]] from moving and get them off the ground. Using a Prop on a diving [[dmc4:enemy#Cutlass]] is the easiest way to stun them from their dive. The example video is consistent in terms of enemy behaviour. * [[youtube>embed/GGfNIc_W7LU?autoplay=0&wmode=transparent&start=0|Containment Room Fight Cycle]] - This room will never be the same. Use Trickster for movement and Shotgun the flying [[dmc4:enemy#Gladius]], especially when they are winding up an attack. Use RI on the [[dmc4:enemy#Bianco Angelo]]. * [[youtube>embed/7fIpKAEsEsg?autoplay=0&wmode=transparent&start=0|Angel Creation Fight Cycle]] - On the first wave, just RI the 3 [[dmc4:enemy#Bianco Angelo]]. On the next wave, place your Lock-on on the [[dmc4:enemy#Alto Angelo]] and wait for a Balls/Kamikaze pattern. After that, clear out the remaining 2 enemies. ===== Gas Skip ===== New [[dmc4:skips:gas_skip]] developments have been recently made with a [[youtube>embed/qyIwbg-Ialw?autoplay=0&wmode=transparent&start=0|120 FPS version]] and [[youtube>embed/_xXXExN6j3g?autoplay=0&wmode=transparent&start=0|60 FPS version]]. These versions basically skip the third Rainstorm from the inputs compared to the [[twitchclip>RichBreakableAniseHotPokket|previous version]]. The 120 FPS version saves roughly 1s and the 60 FPS version saves half a second.\\ The Shoot → Rainstorm from the 120 FPS version can be tricky to pull off as the buttons have to be pressed in quick succession. If you're having trouble with this version, you should use the 60 FPS version instead, as it is much easier to pull off. Use DT whenever you like, but use it before the second Air Hike. Delay your Air Tricks by a little at the end, so you get maximum height and do not mash. ===== General Notes ===== * Use Stinger or Air Trick after the [[dmc4:enemy#Basiliks]] cutscene, and consolidate your menus: use Small Devil Star first and then use a Holy Water. You'll be saving like fraction of a second by using Small Devil Star here, instead of saving it for [[dmc4:bosses:berial]]. * There is a Divinity Statue right before [[dmc4:bosses:berial]]. Use this if you need some abilities back after selling them. * Refer to a more detailed explanation of [[dmc4:bosses:berial]] here. The Air Trick setup is harder to execute but prevents [[dmc4:bosses:berial]] from blocking your RI. The Stinger setup is not much slower and easier to execute. This is a good spot to practise Enemy Stepping out of your RI and Divekick down for another RI. ===== Fight Cycles ===== > **Underground Labaratory** * [[twitchclip>RichBreakableAniseHotPokket|Classic Gas Skip]] * [[youtube>embed/qyIwbg-Ialw?autoplay=0&wmode=transparent&start=0|120 FPS version]] * [[youtube>embed/_xXXExN6j3g?autoplay=0&wmode=transparent&start=0|60 FPS version]] > **Fortuna Castle Gate** * [[youtube>embed/cb6-ZnEOeRI?autoplay=0&wmode=transparent&start=0|Standard Cycle]] > [[dmc4:bosses:berial]] * [[youtube>embed/uxt9_fW-KDw?autoplay=0&wmode=transparent&start=0|Air Trick Setup]] * [[youtube>embed/UBPGAOGx5pc?autoplay=0&wmode=transparent&start=0|Stinger Setup]] ===== Video References ===== * [[youtube>embed/qkp2xUHz4T4?autoplay=0&wmode=transparent&start=0|Mission 16 Community Gold]] \\
