NG Nero / Dante Mission 9

Target LRT - sub 2:55

Mission 9 is one of the hardest missions in the entire game. The 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 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 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 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 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 cache in the elevator spot.
If you are on 60 or 120 FPS, you can still perform the Elevator Skip, but you have to do a different version on 60 FPS.
In the The Gauntlet (Frosts) cycle, you can attempt the Devil Shot trick on the first two 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 Assaults. Remember to Taunt Cancel the dying Assaults after the fight.
Refer to a more detailed explanation of Agnus here. Careful DT management is crucial for this fight and using the spawning Gladius for white orbs.
