Possible way to make Dante Must Die S Ranks easier (more manageable)

[rubhen925]

Update: So BASEL-_-KSA just mentioned that the save scumming might work on Dante Must Die mode, so it can help make your DMD mode s ranks easier.

 

Original post:

 

So this is just a theory which i will confirm when i get back home. In class now. We were learning about programming checkpoints in class and this idea struck me in the head.

 

Now I know many people have problems when i mention save scumming but an idea is still an idea. I was watching my friend stream and everytime he got him by urizen when facing him as Nero in chapter 8, he would dashboard and restart the game. After booting back he would load his checkpoint that was right before the boss. After doing this a couple times he finished the boss and still managed to get a no damage bonus. This got me thinking. If people were really paranoid about this mode.

They can just back up their save after each fight with no damage and continue the game. This way if you get hit you can reload save to mitigate it. You can also practice the bosses at end of levels without having to restart the whole frigging chapter. Now i haven't personally tested this, but if it works like i am thinking it to be, you can get the no damage multiplier to easily get the S ranks in Hell and hell. IT would still be a challenge but now you can do each fight checkpoint by checkpoint.

Loading will be a total nightmare though.

 

I hope this works, and I will test it tonight.

 

Will update later tonight.

Cheers

this always seems the case. backing up a save is always the best strategy when getting ranks (it even worked for rogue legacy).

 

not that i'm willing to try again with DMC. i'm horrid with combos.

I`m pretty sure this doesn`t work since there are no checkpoints in Hell and Hell.

so yea won't work on HaH but should work on other modes

[CaymanGlobal]

You have to close the game and boot it again, then click "continue", am I right?
Maybe i doing something wrong, when i reset the game, it just threw me back at the beginning of mission

[Kooky_Spooky_]

Oh Oh this is a good idea, I'm try later, only problem of this game is a S rank on DMD mode

[DarkAnimaa]

I just tried it, I can confirm it works on all modes except Hell And Hell, didn't unlock it yet but there's no check point in it so it doesn't work.

Thanks for checking. I wish i was home to confirm it myself! Still works on DMD so can loosen the stress a bit haha. Make it one fight at a time. haha. Glad i thought this up today. Who knew going to class actually gives you game ideas!

you dont even need to back up your save, just close the game and open it then chose continue, if you are playing on DMD, close the game before you die unless you are confident in actually finishing the fight.

now the plat is more easier although I don't like this method, but I will gladly use it.

no problem, although you need to be careful because you need to reach a check point first, so for example in mission 12 has no check point for like half of the mission if I'm not wrong.

In any case it is an extra help XD, both in Hell and hell, the difficulty is the same as Son of Sparda yay

[BT_MIE]

I got what you are saying, but there is no checkpoint in HAH difficulty. 

 

Undeniable, it is still a good strategy for DMD S run.

Why is it harder to get S rank on DMD than HAH?

This method will be helpful but still we have H&H to deal with after that we can say things will be easier hopefully there are ways

Because in the Hell and Hell mode the difficulty is the same as son of sparda, instead of Dante must die the life and damage of enemies and equal to 800%

So, this is really like using scissors instead of tweezers to mow a lawn. ?

Anybody got a good way to counter snd punish Fury in a reliable way as Nero? I know that with Dante you can use cerberus revolver or ice age to always parry them but what about Nero?

Ragtime makes it a piece of cake.

Thanks BT!! This Fury it's a Son of a Bitch in DMD or HAH

FYI: You can also die during a mission and instead of giving up / using orbs you can quit DMC and restart. You'll start from the last checkpoint and still get the x1.2 multiplier for no continues. Pretty useful for bosses on DMD mode.

(Not sure this was mentioned before).
