Devil May Cry 5 Dante Must Die S Rank Walkthrough / Mission 10: Awaken

[@rasarajevo]

This mission legit had me ramming my head against a wall. I must've tried like 30 times before finally got just barely over 6000. It legit makes no sense. Whats more funny is I also died on mission 11, on the boss, and somehow ended with 6400 points... like wtf?? this game is drunk but i still love it so much haha

[@chrisklecka1787]

"I just wanna lock ONTO THE FUCKING BAT!!" That resonated with my soul.

[@Fedor_Kisliakov]

There is a cure for Judeccas. Dt, Percussion (lightning AOE with cerberus). It stuns them. Then real impact. Once you're in the air, jump, catch the bastard with Cavaliere (triangle is enough), and then use the bike to slam it to the ground (r1+forward+triangle). This combo deletes the fucker.

[@griffin09]

I'm so glad you covered this mission. No doubt, this is what's holding back everyone. Thank you so much for covering this mission, I'm going to try to style this now. Your guides are a blessing.

[@ItsNoahVG]

You make stuff look like its on easy mode, im glad you make guides for plebs like me 🙂

[@shiraoune]

It’s so comfortable watching your guide, you make me feel like I can do it even if I am not like these crazy people who never get hit in their entire dmd walkthrough

[@Nephilim_JR]

There's a much faster way to break the spiky lizards back. Shoot until you see the spin go from a brighter yellow to a more dull yellow, then use either a dt stinger or use the forward b with Cavalier. Great guide btw. Hopefully they can fix the style issues with this game

[@moicas7390]

They didn't 😔

[@FukurouYGR]

they really didn't

[@VGGamess]

Maybe in DMC 6 when Nero Finally gets his SDT 😪

[@ColorSoupp]

still havent

[@BaIdere]

I've noticed Roundtrip with Devil Sword Dante knocks the spinning guys out of their, well, spin, really fast. Lots of good comments giving options other than this too, but I didn't see DSD Roundtrip mentioned so I thought I'd put it up too. Dante's complexity leads to a lot of cool counterplay options of varying levels of skill so it's great to know all of them for different situations. Working on S Ranking this on SoS & it's definitely one of those "there are flaws in the system" missions. Often I play DMC games just to have fun & look cool to my standards but this is the first one where that doesn't translate to an S by the game's standards as well so I'm glad you think so too.

[@BobHarskins]

I can't believe I have been playing this game all this time and never tried to cancel out of SDT. I always thought you had to use the entire bar. Cheers for doing this series btw, can't wait to see your strategies for the later levels like 18 and 19.

[@HareHeadGFX]

It only works if you transform with Quadruple S, and you need to cancel it in the first 5ish seconds.

[@reubentabansi7767]

all S ranks bow before the faust hat.

[@haze9184]

It feels like game wants you to do multiple perfect RG blocks in quick succession and then use quadruple S. That's the only way I manage to get 6k+ points for individual fights. Also something you missed about this mission which helps a lot. After 2nd judecca fight there's cave on the right which you can jump into. There're just bunch of empusas which you can RG to SSS and after you kill them, 1 queen appears, but you can easily destroy her with quadruple S. This fight alone increased my average by 300 points and why I landed S.

[@ringdangdoo831]

again so glad im not the only one who had trouble with this mission

[@turanksu4033]

fun fact: the style point averaging system was also how DMC2 worked, meaning that this one mission lets you experience what it was like to S-rank missions in dmc2

[@jamesshearer5955]

This is about to make my life so much easier, I'm currently on Son of Sparda mode trying to S rank every mission before moving up to DMD. This is the mission I've made it to. I thought I had genuinely turned rubbish at the game in this mission. I now feel less shit. 😂 Well explained in him an terms is always a plus, I like to think I'm competent at the genre. But this mission has been baffling me all night!

[@javierarboleda604]

Para mi está misión fue hecha para usar todo el potencial de Dante no es difícil solo hay que usar el demonio máximo de el para causar mucho daño así te dan muchos puntos hay que mantener el estilo SSS bastante tiempo pero primero recomiendo Eliminar al que se desaparece

[@mlopez9809]

Just managed to s rank this mission after sooo many attempts, Id say its pretty impossible to do walkthroughs of this game as it requires anyone to git gud but you do an amazing job man, you basically motivated me to try s ranks. Also your guide got me through dmc1 dante must die, so thanks a lot man

[@boeyudhistira75]

Very wonderful...! I've seen other people cheeze it using the faust Hat! but you my friend, are legendary!

[@excaliburv1268]

Vergil Doesn't Give a shit, S Ranking Missions With him is so easy

[@hypedforgames]

Great video! This mission is a pain, I have been really close to getting the S rank but now realize that fighting against the boss its what's hurting my score. My strategy is a bit different, if you have lots of red orbs you can get easy s ranks in fights by using royal guard and man in the red from Dr Faust (R1 + back + square), switching occasionally to sword master for combos.

[@Takitibi]

This mission is broken, I didnt have time to even playtrough SOS, but on DH difficulty it was absolutely terrible to achive S rank. I had to try it over 20 times. It took about 3 days of attempt. On the first day I did it on first try, I was like WTF, but also happy as hell.

[@SE_Lin]

Great walkthrough! Yeah this mission is really stupid with style points along with mission 12. I abuse royal guard to get to SSS before killing anything, I haven't tried it on DMD yet. RG is also really good against chaos you don't have to perfect parry them (it's good style if you can though), just hold guard and do standard blocks as they charge you, they'll hit 3 times and then stop giving you a chance to combo them. Idk if they behave this way on DMD, but on SoS it barely drains DT with how much they hit you I expected them to go insane on me and shred my DT bar away but nope they just give you 3 quick taps and that's it.

[@NetheusNull]

I feel like i'm doing better on this mission than any other, 4500+ per fight, and to see an A rank at the end feels horrible.

[@1shoryuken]

You should use Ice Age against Choas. It parries the crap out of him, and you gain a huge boost to your Style rank.

[@christheplayer99]

I got exactly 6000 points at the end and I still got an A... I hate this mission with a passion

[@katsurades]

Damn for real? 🤦🏻‍♂️ yeah they should’ve fixed this lol. Fuck that makes me frustrated for you. I’m struggling to S just Devil Hunter for this one

[@christheplayer99]

@@katsurades Good luck. I suggest you either cheese it with Faust or abuse the Ex Taunt. Otherwise you just have to fight perfectly for some reason.

[@kirbdini]

On SOS I got 5500 twice and on DMD I hit 6000 twice. I was confused since it's the score ya need. They should say 5501 or 6001

[@BarelyFunctional69]

Bruh, did this mission last night and ended up with 5971 points , F :'(

[@GeronimoMoonblast]

19:35 made me spit out my drink 😂

[@kinrob1]

Also, Coyote stinger breaks the Chaos' spines very quickly.

[@stephensmith4598]

I have no joke played this mission 20 times to get it and what I found is basically live in SDT and you can get S.

[@samb3514]

Holy shit I thought I was just really bad at Dante despite getting consistent S ranks in most of the encounters and playing my ass off. It's a bit of a relief to know it's just this mission, but I still need to S rank it.

[@pulsevzero]

The scoring system is so fucked in this game. I’ve never felt so damn stressed going for S ranks in a Devil May Cry game until this one. I’m surprised I didn’t give up by the end.

[@AndrewSF8898]

Every one of the attempts i did before watching this walkthrough have been bitchslapped by the fact i could've avoided the Urizen fight altogether. I could've gotten the S rank sooner had i known that. :/

[@AndrewSF8898]

I did the first fight using RG on the empusas, got hit multiple times, didn't get an S rank until 3 minutes in, didn't get hit by the Queen Empusa but mantained SSS and staggered her multiple times, got 7100+ style points in a 5 minute fight that was boring to do, but then get downed to 5400+ in the 2nd encounter. Freaking Judecca!

[@KennyHunteX]

Im dying trying to play this game,my take away never use doctor fauste planetary devastation or machine gun which doesnt make sense.Sword formation 2 works great along with caviel triangle only then triangle o triangle o combo and even with ex provocation the highest ive ever got was 5800i literally finished 17 out of the 20 missions but this mission got me dehydrated because that how hard i tried while styling.

[@TheCriiss180]

first of all you can use other weapons apart of evony y ivory for style meter second royalward its the single best style to use again low health enemies for style meter an third i think you can use sin devil trigger for combos without losing much or almost nothing of the sin devil triger bar but u dont remember the trick i think it is with a taunt after the combo

[@simbadg13]

thanks if a special edition ever comes out they need to fix the style requirements. Idk who at capcom fucked that up and it sucks cause dmc 5 coulda been perfect.

[@MrOscar5690]

I’m having a hard time with Devil Hunter difficulty cuz there’s not much to fight and build up style 🤦‍♂️

[@WrongArmorGaming]

yeah this one and mission 8 i just said "fuck it ill come back after all other S ranks on each difficulkty", and without the ex provo or all the sin devils, im just farming red orbs for that and faust meteor. it's such nonsense that even when you get like 7500 first fight, you just eat shit. The furies i need so much more practice on, i just suffer from those stupid fucks.

[@BatriaYourDad]

No man, your controller isnt broker or anything... Same shit always happens to me, and its horrible because when im willing to use swordmaster, i find myself with the trickster style and fuck up my combo.

[@arkhamshow8996]

You are doing good

[@SUPANOVAMAX]

So i just have a few questions for this this mission, im on son of sparda, my highest score is 4.9k >when it comes to no hit run, if you lose health at all do you have to restart, or is it you can go back to full health >royal guarding the furries, or percussion, because for some reason dante likes to face the camera like a shid n fard > faust, jud*ckheads, is it worth doing meteor strikes or using cerberus and doing that circle+ forward electric to stun him >apparently not doing any damage to urinal is better then trying to fight him and just wait it out If anyone finds this, thank you

[@diam0ndKinG]

i think when you get hit the scoring system is programmed to abstract a certain percentage from your stylish points proportionally the damage you have taken ragardless if you maintain a sss stylish rank for the most part of the fights.

[@seriouslyquestionable]

You said you'd like to use the cavalier. Well something I like to do against the chaos' is when they start spinning ride right into them with cavalier. It'll break their armor and knock them on the floor. After which you could use the punch mode on balrog and send em sky high. Or what I like to do is to do that and go in balrog kick mode, the end of that breakdance lookin' move dante kicks them into the air after which I go to Cerberus, jump after them in the air and do the revolver move. (The really fast spinny thing.) I think it's called revolver... right?

[@AndrewSF8898]

If you don't have to worry about other Chaos, you can use Pyromania (Balrog Kick Mode Swordmaster move). I'd say it is the Kick Mode's equivalent to Real Impact.

[@D-Nova]

I don't see how a STD would be useful in any battle, but I'm not a demon hunter.

[@legnaduffy521]

I hate this mission but I've come to the point now that I just faust everything that I see and try not to get hit so I get the boost at the end because styling in this level is meaningless. Doesn't matter how well you do you'll always struggle getting the S rank

[@TheOfficialLouRawz]

i died watching this but im also pissed because I have the DMC5 S/E ps5 version and I must’ve played this level a hundred times n it continues to fxck me with the scoring system I even RG all the enemies to get a double SS before I clear everything out smh Capcom u sum-bxtches!!

[@helsing3345]

Dont know what they were thinking, designing that scoring mechanic. Instead of trying to get as many style points as possible, you're trying to do all there is to hurt your score as minimal as possible. Like why the fuck would you loose your style, why are they fucking up the scoreboard for nothing.

[@Ilinca6]

do back to forward with cerberus on chaoses

[@javierarboleda604]

Me gustas como juegas sin desespero tranquilo yo por eso no paso esta misión porque me desespero mucho

[@S1eepy0w1]

Even on human difficulty it’s hard to get S rank YES the easiest difficulty

[@overtonmcdowell215]

I am stuck need help

[@excaliburv1268]

my favorite comment 11:00

[@MongooseDave2]

This mission and M18 need to be fixed for the Special Edition when it comes to the Stylish point system.

[@chlgdeep]

I knew the lock on was shit...

[@DarthVaizard]

Those numbers are your averages for the fights themselves, not a cumulative number. At the end of the level, your average x multipliers is your score. I've gone from 7k points to 4.6k, and then back up to 6k which would be unlikely if it were cumulative. I also did this mainly spamming the summoned sword shenanigans, honeycomb fire and rain storm, sword combos and dance macabre, and real impact so I don't think variety matters to the point where you have to use everything. It seems to be based on how many moves you land while in SSS with a serious penalty for getting hit. The fights where I didn't get hit or got hit once and recovered with the trickster air recovery were the fights that were higher than others where I stayed in SSS for longer. It's still very strange and I wish they'd simplify it somehow.

[@dragonkamran]

No.

[@RMX-ART]

No what.​@@dragonkamran

[@joutuber4714]

for s you shouldnt get hit
