NG Nero / Dante Mission 15

Target LRT - sub 3:50

Run-killer mission. This mission heavily relies on your Distortion timings, combined with some Just Frame Attacks. The Blitz can easily kill your run if you're not ready to adapt quickly. We also have another Balls/Kamikaze manipulation and Dagon RNG.

In Mission 15, it is not required to purchase anything from the shop unless you're missing some abilities or items from the previous missions.

First Blitz

Once the Blitz fight begins, face towards the camera and input the Shock attack. You need to be in DT, so as soon as the Blitz hits you, release the attack and DT to remove his shield. If his shield is still up, use Shotgun to remove it. Do a quick Taunt after to gain some DT back. During the taunt, as soon as you see the Blitz growling or crawling, go for a Distorted RI. If the Blitz is jumping around, get some distance from him quickly and wait for a visual or audio cue on the growl and then go for the move.
New setup was recently discovered by renzero. You start by Trickster Dashing toward the camera and inputting a Straight. Use DT during this and Distort a level 2 Straight on him. After his shield is gone, quickly input a normal RI and then time a Distorted RI as soon he's getting up. A good visual cue for the second RI is when he's landed and stationary. This setup is a bit less random than the Shock but harder to execute.

General Notes

You can break some statues in the Gallery for green orbs if you're low on health.
In the Library, running to the red door on the side forces the Alto Angelo in the air, making the manipulation free. He will do Balls or Kamikaze on the second formation attack every time. Use Straight or RI on the rest of the enemies. Grab the Orb Crystal before heading out.
Performing Divekick JC and Just Frame Attacks is the most efficient way to deal with the Scarecrows. If you happen to have at least 3 Scarecrows in close proximity, doing a DT Distorted Shock clears them nicely too. If you want a quicker despawn, use Beast Uppercut as a finisher on the Scarecrows.
Doing the Prop → RI combo on the Frosts is the safest bet to dispose of them. You can Enemy Step out of them after the 3rd hit of the Real Impact for faster recovery.
During this run, if you did M5 Skip, drop down the hole and grab the Holy Water. If you did not do M5 Skip, you can perform the Hole Skip.
In the Master's Chamber, eliminate two Scarecrows, wait for the Blitz to spawn and use a Holy Water. Finish off the Blitz with E&I.
Refer to a more detailed explanation of Bael & Dagon here. Best way to stun Dagon is to JC Divekick him. After stunned, perform a Distorted RI and some Divekicks to end the fight.
