====== NG Nero / Dante Mission 9 ====== Target LRT - sub 2:55 **Mission 9** is one of the hardest missions in the entire game. The [[dmc4:enemy#Alto Angelo]] patterns that you can get in this mission can either save or lose you a ton of time. \\ Before you start, sell Showdown as it is no longer required and buy Trigger Heart, Snatch 2 and up to Exceed 3. The EX3-Attacks are required for you to perform the [[dmc4:skips:elevatori|Elevator Skip]]. This mission generally cannot be No Damaged because of the Lasers, but consider it a happy accident if you do. ===== General Notes ===== * Start charging Charge Shot 3 right away just in case you don't get Balls in the upcoming fight. * In the Gran Album Bridge cycle, wait for [[dmc4:enemy#Alto Angelo]] to start his formation attack, DT stun him instantly and Buster when he's starting to get up from the ground. Dodge the [[dmc4:enemy#Bianco Angelo]] during this period. If you don't get the Balls pattern after this, continue the fight normally. * In the Key Chamber cycle, kill 1 [[dmc4:enemy#Bianco Angelo]] and perform a similar manipulation like the previous cycle. In this cycle, you will get either Balls or Kamikaze. * Be sure to grab {{:wiki:dmc1redorb.png?nolink&25|}} cache in the elevator spot. * If you are on 60 or 120 FPS, you can still perform the [[dmc4:skips:elevatori|Elevator Skip]], but you have to do a different version on 60 FPS. * In the The Gauntlet (Frosts) cycle, you can attempt the [[dmc4:tricks:devil_shot|Devil Shot]] trick on the first two [[dmc4:enemy#Frost|Frosts]] (hard). Otherwise, do the DT cycle from the fight cycles. * Arrive to The Gauntlet (Assaults) cycle with a EX3-Sword, do 2 Splits and a Streak on the 3 landing [[dmc4:enemy#Assault|Assaults]]. Remember to [[dmc4:tricks:cancel|Taunt Cancel]] the dying [[dmc4:enemy#Assault|Assaults]] after the fight. * Refer to a more detailed explanation of [[dmc4:bosses:agnus]] here. Careful DT management is crucial for this fight and using the spawning [[dmc4:enemy#Gladius]] for white orbs. ===== Fight Cycles ===== > **Gran Album Bridge** * [[twitchclip>HorribleBoldHeronPeteZaroll-c8snbLWN90u0MpiS|Ball Cycle]] * [[youtube>embed/iS6mADlgQ_I?autoplay=0&wmode=transparent&start=0|No Ball Cycle]] > **Key Chamber** * [[twitchclip>TransparentRenownedSharkCorgiDerp-mQeBtvBfhhoCAo2i|Ball Cycle]] * [[youtube>embed/VHcWoFC2zAU?autoplay=0&wmode=transparent&start=0|Kamikaze Cycle]] > **The Gauntlet (Elevator Skip)** * [[twitchclip>DoubtfulHotAntBloodTrail-sRGoNr9zM4Hj-qdH|120 FPS Skip]] * [[youtube>embed/SOmhURcCHGI??autoplay=0&wmode=transparent&start=0|60 FPS Skip]] > **The Gauntlet (Frosts)** * [[youtube>embed/ci_hFg5ftgo?autoplay=0&wmode=transparent&start=0|Devil Shot Cycle]] * [[twitchclip>EnjoyableSlipperyLlamaPogChamp-hf31vSGAuAyiCtnQ|DT Cycle]] > **The Gauntlet (Assaults)** * [[youtube>embed/QrLSLeliiwg?autoplay=0&wmode=transparent&start=0|Standard Cycle]] > [[dmc4:bosses:agnus]] * [[youtube>embed/TuJfHQDQKH8?autoplay=0&wmode=transparent&start=0|Standard Boss Cycle]] ===== Video References ===== * [[youtube>embed/gL-neo2FbAM?autoplay=0&wmode=transparent&start=0|Mission 9 Community Gold]] * [[youtube>embed/7oAuaMI9ido?autoplay=0&wmode=transparent&start=0|Ball/Kamikaze Patterns Tutorial]] \\
