NG Nero / Dante Mission 2

Target LRT - sub 3:25

After Mission 1, your Proud Soul route should look something like this.

  • 400 or more - Your route is healthy and you only need to grab minimum red orbs during Mission 2
  • 300 ~ 400 - Still a healthy route but be sure to grab some red orbs on the way during Mission 2
  • 300 or less - Be sure to grab a lot of red orbs during Mission 2

Before you start, buy Speed and Charge Shot 1 from the shop. Speed is the fastest way to travel in the game and Charge Shot 1 increases the cycle speed by a ton of time for Mission 2. Aim for an rank for this mission and do not take damage to be able to afford the Mission 3 abilities.

General Notes

  • Must be cleared without getting hit. If done right, you will receive an rank after finishing the mission, and around 2200 Proud Souls to spare.
  • To get past Mission 2, you have to get some bonus red orbs Destroy one or more shelves in Store House, and get some orbs in the sewers in First Mining Area, and you're good.
  • The fastest way to eliminate Scarecrow (Arm) is to do a Buster → CS1 or vice versa and for Scarecrow (Leg) the best way is Buster → Exceeded Attack → Buster.
  • You can skip the Grim Grips in the Cathedral by doing the Cathedral Skip.
  • Try not to finish a fight by killing an enemy with CS1. The enemy will despawn slower causing for you to wait longer.
  • You can refer to the Store House cycle here.
  • Rooftop cycles here. A new High Roller optimisation was recently discovered here.
  • Customs House cycle here.
  • Berial is the biggest roadblock to your no damage dreams. It's very important to be consistent at Exceeds to get a consistent cycle. The Aerial Combo is the fastest method to deal damage but requires awareness to not get caught mid-air by a hit. The 1st Buster has to be executed when Berial has lost roughly 3 bars of HP. If you hang around Berial's back legs, you should always bait out the Jump Slash attack and prevent any bad RNG patterns. Refer to a safe cycle here and Exceedless Berial here. Once you get more comfortable doing this no damage, you may start to implement the risky version of this fight in the Community Gold video below.
