Appappachai Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 So, I've never really played a Devil May Cry game before. I beat both stories, got all collectibles and all secret missions and still no sss rank. Are certain modes better for sss rank? I was playing human for the record. Would I get better style scores on higher difficulty? Also, any tips for fighting dream slashers or the fat guy or the fat guy with a big red stomach? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redgrave Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Difficulty shouldn't matter too much. If you already have collectibles and stuff then the only thing you need to worry about is getting high combos and not using items. The best way I got high combos was using Trillion Stabs and using that spin move with those Angel blades on multiple enemies. The axe weapon is also good with giving high combo points. The Dream guys can be stunned if you charge the fists when they teleport, and as soon as they jump out you punch them. I'm not sure which fat guy you're referring to unless you mean the ones that charge you. For those you dodge out of their way or get behind them and pull them to the ground and attack their back. Preferably with the axe weapon. The ones with the sawblades you can hit and run with them. I normally would just use Trillion Stabs and dodge before they hit, and then use the axe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakk55 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 I followed some speedrun videos, occasionally some strategies pops up that I haven't thought about using especially in some boss fights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Appappachai Posted July 5, 2016 Author Share Posted July 5, 2016 Got my trophy. Thanks for the tip. I ended up practicing my demon dodge and leveling up the axe. The trick for mobs of little guys is to use buy in from aquila to pull them close , then jump and ground pound with eryx. Set up your big guys by darting them with kablooey first, then axe them, once they go invincible kablooey them and axe them again. As for the dual weilding chainsaws...I did okay with them on nephilim. I would punch them with eryx and then demon dodge away. With son of sparda the swing like 4 times so I would recommend angel dodge though the timing is sucky. I got my trophy. Thanks to all who helped. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VergilOverbeck Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Well, I'm glad you already got it~ But yeah actually you can just use the Aquila gather all enemies together,and use Iryx hit the ground, this will be very easy to get SSS For Vergil, Summoned swords can help:3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caju_94 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Well, about DmC I'm still focused on finished the game on DmD, but still, I managed to get a SSS in the process, while farming against Virgil (I think it was in Nightmare). Not only you have to be good at combos but also be fast. You may end up with a S or SS on style but if you get a SSS in time, it helps a lot. What I normally do for combos, is it to use the Aquila's Buy In and gather all minions. After that, I immediatly use the Tornado move. If you don't get interrupted in the process, that should give you a SS/SSS immediatly. The axe is good because it gives lots of style points, so normally I switch between the Aquila, do a Trillion Stabs if possible with the sword, switch to the Axe and redo. I did not focus on getting the SSS missions yet with Dante, but some of them don't seem too hard. I also heard that some people managed to do it on Heaven or Hell, because of the 1 hit, but I do not know if it gets harder or easier to get the SSS rank. Might as well return and say how it did go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s0vereignczar18 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I dont know what to do, I've tried everything to get an sss rank on all of the "easy" levels everyone is talking about. Like I just beat the news guy bob barbas and absolutely demolished him and the in between fights. I got over 200000 score points and it's still didnt give me the sss rank. I'm playing on human but even when I play on nephlim the closest I get is a s rank. I've done level 15 where theres hardly any fighting but the guys that are in that level I absolutely smash them and the closest I can get is ss. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kahuninho Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 For anybody playing the game in 2020 like me (it took me long enough), I just got my 10th SSS on Heaven or Hell mode. If you try to only use the Arbiter's R2 + Traingle move and focus on not getting hit and killing the enemies quickly one after another, it makes it pretty easy. There is also no stress for reaching the time limit as every enemy dies in one hit so you can typically rush through it. If you lose all your lives in this mode, close the application and boot it back up, you'll load into your last checkpoint with as many lives as you started the checkpoint with and it doesn't count as a loss.

Rias Gremory Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 SSS Ranks are easy for me to obtain in Nephilim, Son in Sparda or Dante Must Die. If you maximize all your upgrades before doing the SSS 10x stages then you have a very good chance at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not working for me, I've scored SS/SSS/SSS on first mission but lost gold orbs got taken into account and resulted as an A in the overall score, so unless there's a way to not make gold orbs losses count, it might prove more frustrating than doing it on regular modes. Edit. Ok found it, you have to quit the game each time you loose a gold orb, not only if you loose all 3, otherwise each lost gold orb works against the overall score.
