====== NG Nero / Dante Mission 19 ====== Target LRT - sub 3:20 For the final two missions, we are switching back to [[dmc4:chapters:nero_dante_info|Nero]]. **Mission 19** will have you revisit several bosses throughout the playthrough via a boss rush. Some bosses are more consistent, like [[dmc4:bosses:berial]], [[dmc4:bosses:echidna]] and some less consistent, like [[dmc4:bosses:bael]].\\ Before you start, buy Maximum Bet and Showdown. You may also buy Max-Act. The Maximum Bet is required for a consistent cycle on [[dmc4:bosses:berial]] and does great damage on [[dmc4:bosses:bael]], whereas Showdown is excellent for [[dmc4:bosses:berial]] and [[dmc4:bosses:echidna]]. Purchase 1 Holy Water from the Items shop as well.\\ Be sure to grab most boss red orbs {{:wiki:dmc1redorb.png?nolink&25|}} as you'll need a Holy Water and a Devil Star (23500) for [[dmc4:chapters:ng_nero_dante:m20|Mission 20]]. ===== Boss Rush ===== Correct dice cycle: -> 4-6-4-4-6 <- > **Angelo Squad** * Dice Number 4. * Upon entering the room, run straight to the dice and Snatch it when you see the number 4 on top. * After entering the arena, wait for the enemies to spawn fully and use a Holy Water. > **[[dmc4:bosses:berial]]** * Dice Number 6. * Once spawned in, walk next to the dice and wait for the number 6. Hit the dice with your sword. * Make sure to exceed your sword while waiting and grab the white orb in the right corner. * Once the [[dmc4:bosses:berial]] fight starts, immediately DT and perform 2 Maximum Bets to remove the fire shield from [[dmc4:bosses:berial]]. You can also get a Showdown right after the Maximum Bet if you're quick about it. Make sure to Aerial Buster [[dmc4:bosses:berial]] before he drops on the ground. After that, just do CS3 and EX-Attacks. * Once [[dmc4:bosses:berial]] is defeated, it's very important to [[dmc4:tricks:cancel|Taunt Cancel]] using Exceed to get DT. You can get 2 [[dmc4:tricks:cancel|Taunt Cancels]] here. > **[[dmc4:bosses:bael]]** * Dice Number 4. * Immediately Snatch the dice after gaining control of [[dmc4:chapters:nero_dante_info|Nero]]. You will get a 4 right away. * Make sure to exceed your sword while waiting. * The Eat pattern - Most common pattern. You should CS3 before getting eaten, wait till the CS3 explosion happens and DT right away. Come down with Aerial Combos and do a Maximum Bet and a CS3. * The Jump pattern - Semi common pattern. Shoot your CS3, jump dodge the landing of [[dmc4:bosses:bael]] and DT right away. Keep doing Aerial Combos till he is stunned and do a Maximum Bet and a CS3. > **[[dmc4:bosses:echidna]]** * Dice Number 4. * Immediately Snatch the dice after gaining control of [[dmc4:chapters:nero_dante_info|Nero]]. You will get a 4 right away. * Make sure to exceed your sword while waiting and grab the white orb in the right corner. * If you want to consistently prevent [[dmc4:bosses:echidna]] from flying away, do EX3-Calibur to CS3. This is consistent but not as high damage. The other option would be to wait a bit, CS3 and EX3-Calibur for some aerial combos. * You want to DT a little bit early and double jump as quickly as possible on [[dmc4:bosses:echidna]] as she starts planting the seeds. Here you have two options, you may either go for 2 Showdowns or do Combo A into a Buster. * Once [[dmc4:bosses:echidna]] is defeated, perform [[dmc4:tricks:cancel|Taunt Cancels]] using Exceed on the [[dmc4:enemy#Chimera|Chimera Seed]] to get DT. You can get 2 [[dmc4:tricks:cancel|Taunt Cancels]] and a Buster here. > **[[dmc4:bosses:agnus]]** * Dice Number 6. * Once spawned in, walk next to the dice and wait for the number 6. Hit the dice with your sword. * Make sure to exceed your sword while waiting. * Use CS3 and EX-Calibur whenever possible on [[dmc4:bosses:agnus]] and avoid using Roulette Spin. Using DT and grabbing a [[dmc4:enemy#Basilisk]] with Buster is a great way to deal big damage to [[dmc4:bosses:agnus]]. DT efficiency will mainly improve your time with this boss. ===== Boss Cycles ===== > **Angelo Squad** * [[youtube>embed/eCykU2IKKdM?autoplay=0&wmode=transparent&start=0|Standard Cycle]] > [[dmc4:bosses:berial]] * [[youtube>embed/qYFmaQ3U4TU?autoplay=0&wmode=transparent&start=0|Maximum Bet Cycle]] > [[dmc4:bosses:bael]] * [[youtube>embed/EsVeAwOpseo?autoplay=0&wmode=transparent&start=0|Eat Pattern]] * [[youtube>embed/wRo8KB-9mjU?autoplay=0&wmode=transparent&start=0|Jump Pattern]] * [[youtube>embed/0cmL9ziv-sM?autoplay=0&wmode=transparent&start=0|Icicles to Breath Attack Pattern]] > [[dmc4:bosses:echidna]] * [[youtube>embed/FuPbRpbUza8?autoplay=0&wmode=transparent&start=0|Showdown Cycle]] * [[youtube>embed/468fqH6r6fk?autoplay=0&wmode=transparent&start=0|Safe beginning + Combo A]] > [[dmc4:bosses:agnus]] * [[youtube>embed/7zIEFpq4a-Y?autoplay=0&wmode=transparent&start=0|Standard Cycle]] ===== Video References ===== * [[youtube>embed/OUr5-1reyQM?autoplay=0&wmode=transparent&start=0|Mission 19 Community Gold]] \\
