Started SoS up and it’s definitely how the game should be played to start with, I think. Enjoying it a lot more now. Won’t make the repetitive bosses any less repetitive, but maybe this time I won’t just Steamroll my way through the game(Hell, Berial was actually a lot tougher now).

What was the move at 1:14?
Actually, I was having a lot of trouble with this at first before I had a random idea. Don’t know why I didn’t think of this before… Here’s an easy way to do this secret mission. Once I tried it, I did it on my first try.
As soon as the Scarecrow spawns, Buster him and hold it so you’ll be holding on to him like a shield. Air hike helps here, but pretty much turn around and jump your ass back to the cliff behind you. Climb up it and head toward the exit as if you were running out of the area. Release the buster to drop/slam the Scarecrow near the exit, and then high tail it back to where all the Chimera are; since they were all following the Scarecrow they should be at the base of the cliff for some easy pickings (lvl 3 EX Streak helps a lot in killing them fast). Rape those niggas and you’ll complete the mission. 
Anyone have any tips for the secret mission where you have to jump from fading platform to fading platform while three Mephistos try and knock you off? That shit is so god damn frustrating and I can’t ever get very far. I came close once, but fuck I have no idea how damn long you’re supposed to dodge those things. I tried killing them too but the damn things respawn. -_- Any tips or tricks to make this easy?

Seriously, this guy has probably already done a vid of what you might need help on.
He sure helped me. :bgrin:
:u: Cheat. Streak off the platform when you’re lined up, slash, slash, helicopter, Air Hike, slash, slash, helicopter will get you surprisingly far. If that fails, Dante can go even further, from what I’ve seen.
I managed to get beat SoS mode today. Afterwards i beat Heaven or Hell mode in about an hour. Right now, i’m starting out DMD mode and i’m doing pretty well.
EDIT: Has anyone happened to find a rip of the game’s music? The soundtrack only a includes a few of the game’s music.
I think you’re talking about EX Shuffle.
Hold R1+ Back, Forward /\
Oh sweet. Maybe I should just go back and buy the moves I thought were useless rotfll.
Out of curiosity, what is missing from the soundtrack?
Yeah, so I just got Dante, and he’s fucking AWESOME. I do, however, miss Nero already. With Nero, my MaxACT rate was nearly 50%; with Dante, I accidentally switch guns in mid-combo all the damn time. :mad:
You’ll get used to Dante and will probably end up missing Trickster. It makes some bosses much easier. I find myself switching between Trickster and swordmaster on the fly pretty easily. This is pretty helpful with aerial enemies. My mind blows up when switching through styles and weapons right now and trying to keep track of what I have equipped.
When my friends are watching, I usually try to look as cool as possible. Taunt -> Activate Trickster (make sure you let Dante do his snap fingers thing) dash and run up the enemy -> activate Gunslinger with Ebony and ivory and cast a rain of a a thousand spinning bullets upon your enemy upside down -> helm break your foe -> taunt -> high five your friend.
Speaking of cool stuff, I was fighting Bael on the dice game and I was at an “A” style rank - I did the Buster on him to finish him off - he froze - I taunted with blue rose pointed at him and as soon as Nero said “bop” he exploded into a million ice pieces. It was awesome. this game is awesome. Time for sleep.
They apparently nerfed Trickster so hard. Where the fuck is my triple dash? :mad:
And I just picked up the Gilgamesh, so it’s good times ahead. :tup:
Did they change royal guard up? I can’t remember the things you get as you unlock the levels…a shame because that was my main style in DMC3
lol yea Trickster got nerfed: no triple dash and no wallrunning.
but i like how you can dash up to an enemy and Dante will sort of bounce off it.
Trickster got NERFED??? NOOOOOO…
Fuck those secret missions. I only have two more to clear (5 parries and one I can’t yet get to, but it involves lasers).
And Dante is TOO GOOD. Damn.
Was taking a look at his other shit, and he’s just way TOO beastly. Seriously.
I reached Mission 17 last night, so after breakfast and some errands it’s end game time. Dante is WAY too beastly.
I was pissed that Trickster got nerfed too, but use of switching on the fly in the middle of air juggles to air dash makes me not care. Has anybody maxed out Trickster yet and confirmed no wall run?
After reading the EGM review my biggest complaint is their obvious hypocrasy and lack of consistency. They complain in the preview about how DMC 3 is to hard and that is part of the reason DMC 4 is better. Yet not only did they give DMC 3 a higher score then 4, they never really complained about the difficulty when reviewing 3.
