DMC5 Mission 18 DMD EASY No Damage S Rank

[@christheplayer99]

Just did this on SoS mode, it worked wonders, thanks for helping me out, I hate this mission ranking system

[@GeneralErlend]

The ranking system is not the best by any stretch of the imagination, but I just did a full run on an alt account and S ranked *everything* without the use of Faust abuse on pretty much the first try on most missions (some missions like this one I had to do 4 attempts). On Hell and Hell you pretty much have to play cowardly and not get hit on most missions, with some exceptions like V's missions where you easily can take a hit and still have above 5.5k style points for the S rank. For this mission, I usually get the S rank on any regular difficulty (Human- DMD) by just fighting Griffon, Shadow, styling on the 2 Empusa and 3 Red Empusa, Shadow and Griffon and finally styling on Shadow, Griffon and Nightmare. The way you have to skip certain fights is dumb as hell though, I agree there. However, mission 10, arguably 12 if you don't do the Nidhogg Hatchling skip and 18 are by far the most stingy when it comes to handing out style points.

[@christheplayer99]

@@GeneralErlend Yeah I agree, this mission is bad if you aren't capable of styling of Griffon, Shadow and Nightmare, but Mission 10 is outright outrageous. Even if you get 7000 points in the first fight by Royalguarding a bit, after the second fight your average usually drops to 6000 even if you get SSS and keep it for a while, while in Mission 11 a good enough fight easily nets you 5600+ points. Mission 12 is still manageable if you skip unneeded fights with Cavaliere, though if you don't style on the Boss you might end up short on points, although that might just be my problem since I'm not especially good with Dante (I do prefer his weapons and moveset in this game compared to DMC4). I honestly don't have enough patience to do what you did, although I mignt try doing a couple of missions without Red Hot Night and see what ranks I get (I'm currently playing DMC4: SE and I need to finish the Bloody Palace with Lady and Trish, wish me luck since they don't have super costumes lol)

[@dragonkamran]

@@GeneralErlend no buts, the ranking system on missions 8,10,12 and 18 are bullshit. You SSS every battle in 10 and get A, you die twice in Mission 11 you end up with 6000 points. I won’t blame anyone cheesing those missions.Fuck this.

[@GeneralErlend]

@@dragonkamran After playing for 6 more months, I must disagree. Getting S rank on those missions is fairly easy. They just happen to be harder than the others for whatever reason, especially mission 10 and 18, those are always very close. However, not once in my recent 8 or so runs of those missions have I not got S ranks. Some have been close like I said, but S ranks nonetheless.

[@dragonkamran]

@@GeneralErlend I Sed the entire game and can’t agree with you. Of course, no damage the game and you get an S but that doesn’t change the fact that the ranking system is shit. How about you die and S Mission 10? No? Well you can die TWICE in M11 and still get an S, that’s what pisses me off. You can start with 7k points and it goes down the hill regardless of how you play the rest of the level. Fairly easy my ass.

[@blizaack]

If you don't have enough red orbs, the 1st fight against the birdy just use double Kalina Ann set to Gunslinger Style, it's very easy, keep performing Multiple Twins you don't have to move, move if required. As well as the 2nd fight against the black cat, but you need to shoot Multiple Twins if the timing is right, the black cat is faster than the birdy, so keep your distance.

[@JongleurBt1]

You can also just stun lock the cat with normal attack with kalina ann. Each rocket stun him. For the bird you can also use ebony/ivory gunslinger backward->foward attack to get him down (or swordmaster cavaliere almost one shot him too)

Thanks man

tried this sos today, failed a lot then I found this. thanks man.

Did all this spent 400000 orbs Missed red hot night timing, perfect

[@n_word_gaming]

thanks, it’s impossible to get s on this mission without this I swear

[@DevilDante903]

I hate myself for making it like this, but fuck it, this mission sucks. Thank you mate

[@nasiiscarb]

Damn bro thank you so much for this tutorial, I never even thought of using summoned sword with faust, this made m18 way easier than I thought, I was struggling for nothing

[@thegearkid1420]

You dont know who I am, but I love you for this video. Ty a lot. :))

[@norad1353]

I'm glad you liked the video. Thanks!

[@areasultra8899]

for some reason i scare for losing a lot of red orb but i have 6 milllion of it

[@mohammedsameer5705]

The red hot night move from faust hat shouldn’t take out more than the first phase of an enemy’s healthbar at max.

[@christheplayer99]

Well, it takes like 10 seconds to fully charge, and compared to Vergil's Distorted moves in DMC 4 SE, Red Hot Night seems kinda fair even lol

[@jayjay_Agamer]

@@christheplayer99 every character has their cheese tactic vergil in dmc 5 you can just sit in the corner and PJC. Nero you just spam charge shot along with his strongest attacks and dantes cheese is the faust hat.

[@christheplayer99]

@@jayjay_Agamer I know, there's always been a cheap-but-effective move in every DMC; In 1, you can cancel Grenade Launcher shots; in 2 you basically shoot anything until it dies; in 3, you can do a DT explosions that kills most enemies and gives you an SSS, and in 4, you can do more or less what you can do in 5

[@jayjay_Agamer]

@@christheplayer99 i feel like its only really necessary for bs dmd rooms. Dmc 1 final nightmare fight would be cancer without those sort of exploits and I feel as if dmc 5 dmd mission 18 is one of those missions that is a pain. For example I can royal guard vergil and royal release his dive but this fight still makes me wanna swan dive off a qliphoth tree.

[@christheplayer99]

@@jayjay_Agamer Same, I'm fairly good at Royalguarding Vergil and his Summoned Swords (not so good on the Just Release though), but If I want to fight Nightmare + Griffon + Shadow combo decently I have to concentrate like a tomato sauce lol. And I agree about DMC 1, I even had to use Untouchables on both Nightmare and Mundus on DMD, I couldn't bother repeating that flying section 1000 more times than I already did.

[@legendarydigitize2523]

The only annoyances are the stupid mooks that chip the no damage bonus away outside the bosses

[@mohammedsameer5705]

I seriously think weapons like faust hat are really overblown n the bosses like vergil in dmc5 r undermined . Its kind of unfair that there’s no struggle at all .

[@ezequieljunior6188]

mohammed sameer to be fair mission 18 is busted as fuck

[@darthvalkr7709]

i have been trying to s rank this mission without single cheese and only could get 5800 stylish point from this bullsh1t ass mission( most of the mission require 5500 point for s rank)

[@GeneralErlend]

@@darthvalkr7709 I assume you were playing on Son of Sparda? SoS is 5500 for S, DMD is 6000.

[@darthvalkr7709]

@@GeneralErlend nope,i assumed 5500 was the score for S rank,but found out i was losing stylish point for fighthing mini mobs than i finished mission S rank later

[@GeneralErlend]

@@darthvalkr7709 The only optional fight you should take in Mission 18 is the Empusa. They will raise your average style score. By styling on Griffon, Shadow and Nightmare, you should have around 5000 style points (in DMD) wich will be raised to 6000 (5000*1,2=6000)

God damn i did it! Thanx u dude

I can't for the love of god get a s rank on this mission playing as Vergil...

[@pedrovisk54]

@@darkmessiah9566 Don't retry. If you get hit, just restart the mission. Always use Vergil's dodge and teleport. Pay attention to griffon, take him down as fast as you can, and then take shadow down. When Nightmare shows up again, use your devil trigger with the duplicate. Doing this, you should be able to defeat this three annoying demons without getting hit.

Done it twice and no s rank

[@legendarydigitize2523]

Was able to do it on devil hunter They easily get stunlocked with the dr faust normal fire indeed To fill up my dt and have some extra style points i messed with some optional mooks around without getting hit Best way to keep most of them out of your hair is with the roundtrips while you use other means to rack up style like the ebony and ivory gunslinger attacks Then at the brink of their death use dance macabre to rack up very high style as their hp doesnt go completely off when you do such until you finish the move Watch out for the asshat pyrobats, if you see them do not engage as these shits wi surround and chip you with their fire, ruining your no damage bonus If you want to beat them do it from afar like using ebony and ivory Or maybe even the missile barrages of double kalina ann

[@stevestevens1457]

Legendarydigitize man, doing DH and giving out advices? Do it on DMD at least first

[@DXMario]

I did it exactly like you and got a B =/ no damage taken, finished all fights with S

[@norad1353]

If you get bonuses for no damage and no continues at the end with no penalties (such as using super characters and/or automatic mode), you should be able to get an S rank even if you had very low stylish pts. Even if you had impossibly low stylish pts, you would at least get an A if you did this strat correctly. My guess is that you either took damage without realizing, or took damage and then restarted from a checkpoint. If you restart from a checkpoint you will lose the no continues bonus and the no damage bonus if you took damage before restarting.
