Focus on finishing the mission as fast as possible, also when your up against Beril use your DT when his flames go out, It will sky rocket your style.

Use the Buster slam move (Devil Bringer arm without lock-on active). Two of those will take out one of those enemies; much faster than slashing them to death.Zefah said:

DT FTW, I just went up against Berial and owned him.
Finished SoS.
Mission 19 on SoS is by far the hardest part of anything through the end of SoS. Hell I'd say it's harder than anything in DMC3 on normal. I finished it with a LOT of continues and a 45 min clear time and I still got S-rank in time ^^;
Once you learn the dice trick 19 almost makes up for not having a boss rush mode. You can jump straight into each one and on SoS they're fun and challenging as hell. Dante vs. final versions of the bosses is still not too bad because Dante is just way too strong + his DT rocks, but Nero vs. them is tough stuff.
Anyhow, playing on Son of Sparda upped my appreciation of the game quite a bit. It's a pretty awesome action game and SoS difficulty was just right for not too frustrating but not easy. Fighting enemies was generally really fun since they actually have enough health to do cool combos and it's intense. There were a few parts where it's overwhelming (2nd to last Dante stage) and I pretty much had to just kill/kill/kill and stay alive instead of play stylishly, but for the most part you can mess around and have a ton of fun against normal enemy groups on SoS. The bosses are all awesome on SoS and you're really forced to learn their pattersn and they're patterns are pretty good. I had a few issues with the camera, a few issues with the lock-on, and a few issues with jumping when I'm trying to do an evade roll while locked onto a boss, but it wasn't a big deal, just could have been tightened up a bit more.
Going through DH & SoS with some Bloody Palace landed me with around 22 hours played, so I definitely feel like I'm getting my money's worth and there's enough content in the game despite the backtracking. After finishing it on DH I thought it was DMC3 > DMC1 > DMC4. Now I'd definitely go DMC3 > DMC4 > DMC1.
I think the forest looks like shit on my CRT HDTV. The contrast is all jacked up and everything looks washed out like there's no lighting and you're in a 3d game editor and then the shadows everywhere looks jaggy and bad. The rest of the game looks good or great, but man I'm not a fan of the forest. Looks a little better during Dante's trip through because the lighting is different, but it's still messy.

Hit it with devil bringer will give you the correct number (the same one on top), I'd tried hitting it with red queen or the gun it seems to be not quite under controlled.
With this trick that part can be very good for red and green orbs (land on blue over and over).

which system should I get this for?

Jesus christ, I'm at the last mission before I get Dante, and the boss is piss easy until he
at which point I have literally been unable to deal any further damage to him. How the fuck do I get over to him after taking his shield down before he disappears and then regenerates it?

I've been more or less staying airborne for the whole battle but there simply doesn't seem to be any attack window once his shield is down; he just flees and there's no way to catch up fast enough.Mamesj said:
badcrumble said:
You get one chance and if you miss it...statue time. I agree it's pretty annoying. One time I kept doing snatch and flying PAST HIM so my slices were just out of range and then statue.
badcrumble said:
Let him get distance, then wait for his flame attack and then jump -> snatch -> slash a few times.

I played about an hour of it when it first came out. I should probably be ashamed for not remembering a generic character name from a videogame that I didn't care much for, that I played over a year ago, but I'm really not.
Hehe finished up picking up Culdcept Saga today
Go DMC
360 version complete sell out(Something like 50+copies) and PS3 only a few remaining(said a few more then half of 360 version). So something like 75copies sold just at the gamestop by me!!! Huzzah!!!
Anyways...What I came to save...Where be the Auto Save:lol I beat the first 3 mission before... Turn off. Forgot to save lol. I've become so use to the Autosave feature. Had to replay them today and last night. Pretty much in same spot i finished lol >_<
Then I proceeded to play Kingdom Under Fire >_> Bad me:lol
Some more Impressions.
S ranks on missions are tough. I don't really understand how I'm supposed to get the Orb count needed...its like i break every chair, kill every enemy...hell even for mission three i fell down a **** load in torture camber and still only got a B.
Combos, I'm getting much better at it, pulled off an SS a few times now. Reving seems to vary a llot...sometimes I'm hitting it 3/4 while others 1/5. Anyone have some tricks on reving again?:lol I'm also getting a bit better at timing my moves.

what difficulty is everybody playing on
Artie said:So whats the secret to the dice puzzle? That would really help me getting owned in mission 19
Hit the dice when a 5 is on top with your devil buster = ends up on 5
cycle is ALWAYS the same. For instance 1->4 and 3->5. I just see which comes before the number I want since I don't have fast enough reflexes to hit the number I want when it appears. But if I know the number that comes before it I can just hit O when it turns over.
