emiliathesage Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) Hi everyone. I made this guide to help players know the requirements for clearing every mission with an S Ranking. You only need to S Rank the following difficulties: Human mode, Devil Hunter mode, Son of Sparda mode, Legendary Dark Knight mode, Dante Must Die mode and Bloody Palace mode. Human mode is the hardest since most of the missions requires 100% Red Orbs found and a no damage bonus to get S Ranking. Heaven or Hell mode and Hell and Hell mode doesn't require S Ranking. The points required to get an S Ranking for every mission are calculated as follows: Total points = (Clear Bonus + Style Points) x Clear Time x Orbs Found x Bonus & Penalty x Difficulty Clear Time Multiplier S Rank = x3.0 A Rank = x2.5 B Rank = x2.0 C Rank = x1.5 D Rank = x1.0 Orbs Found Multiplier 95-100% --> S = x2.00 75-94% --> A = x1.75 60-74% --> B = x1.50 45-59% --> C = x1.25 0-44% --> D = x1.00 Bonus & Penalty Multiplier No Damage = x1.5 No Item Used = x1.2 Gold Orbs Used = x0.70 Enemy Handicap = x0.80 Continues = x0.80 Super Costume = x0.20 Difficulty Multiplier Human = 0.85 Devil Hunter = 1.0 Son of Sparda / LDK = 1.8 Dante Must Die = 3.0 Hell and Hell = 1.8 Clear Bonus These are the same on all difficulties and represent the points you are given for clearing each mission. Mission 1 = 500 Mission 2 = 1,500 Mission 3 = 2,000 Mission 4 = 2,000 Mission 5 = 1,500 Mission 6 = 2,500 Mission 7 = 2,500 Mission 8 = 2,000 Mission 9 = 1,500 Mission 10 = 2,500 Mission 11 = 2,500 Mission 12 = 1,000 Mission 13 = 2,000 Mission 14 = 1,500 Mission 15 = 3,000 Mission 16 = 3,000 Mission 17 = 2,500 Mission 18 = 1,500 Mission 19 = 3,500 Mission 20 = 1,000 S Rank Time and Style Requirements (LDK is set to Son of Sparda difficulty) ================================= Hard | Devil Hunter | Son of Sparda | Dante Must Die ================================= Mission 1 0:45 | 1:00 | 1:15 | 1:25 500 | 500 | 500 | 500 --------------------------------- Mission 2 11:00 | 15:00 | 21:00 | 26:00 6,500 | 6,500 | 9,250 | 9,250 --------------------------------- Mission 3 13:30 | 18:00 | 20:00 | 25:00 10,000 | 10,000 | 10,000 | 10,000 --------------------------------- Mission 4 13:30 | 18:00 | 21:00 | 33:00 6,500 | 6,500 | 9,250 | 9,250 --------------------------------- Mission 5 9:00 | 12:00 | 18:00 | 21:30 6,000 | 6,000 | 7,750 | 7,750 --------------------------------- Mission 6 16:30 | 22:00 | 25:00 | 30:00 12,500 | 12,500 | 12,500 | 12,500 --------------------------------- Mission 7 15:00 | 20:00 | 23:00 | 28:00 7,000 | 7,000 | 7,000 | 7,000 --------------------------------- Mission 8 11:00 | 15:00 | 17:00 | 21:00 6,500 | 6,500 | 6,500 | 6,500 --------------------------------- Mission 9 9:30 | 13:00 | 23:00 | 28:00 10,000 | 10,000 | 13,750 | 13,750 --------------------------------- Mission 10 15:00 | 20:00 | 25:00 | 30:00 10,000 | 10,000 | 11,000 | 11,000 --------------------------------- Mission 11 11:00 | 15:00 | 17:00 | 21:00 11,500 | 11,500 | 11,500 | 11,500 --------------------------------- Mission 12 7:30 | 10:00 | 11:30 | 14:00 7,000 | 7,000 | 7,000 | 7,000 --------------------------------- Mission 13 13:30 | 18:00 | 23:00 | 29:00 7,000 | 7,000 | 8,250 | 8,250 --------------------------------- Mission 14 13:30 | 18:00 | 24:00 | 29:00 6,000 | 6,000 | 7,400 | 7,500 --------------------------------- Mission 15 21:00 | 28:00 | 34:00 | 41:00 11,500 | 11,500 | 12,250 | 12,250 --------------------------------- Mission 16 18:30 | 25:00 | 30:00 | 37:00 10,000 | 10,000 | 10,650 | 10,650 --------------------------------- Mission 17 13:30 | 18:00 | 21:00 | 25:00 17,000 | 17,000 | 17,000 | 17,000 --------------------------------- Mission 18 7:30 | 10:00 | 11:30 | 14:00 5,000 | 5,000 | 5,000 | 5,000 --------------------------------- Mission 19 22:30 | 30:00 | 50:00 | 60:00 12,500 | 12,500 | 20,000 | 20,000 --------------------------------- Mission 20 2:30 | 3:15 | 3:45 | 4:30 5,500 | 5,500 | 5,500 | 5,500 ================================= S Rank total points requirements Human Mission 1 = 5,100 Mission 2 = 42,500 Mission 3 = 55,250 Mission 4 = 42,500 Mission 5 = 34,000 Mission 6 = 68,000 Mission 7 = 42,500 Mission 8 = 42,500 Mission 9 = 51,000 Mission 10 = 59,500 Mission 11 = 68,000 Mission 12 = 38,250 Mission 13 = 42,500 Mission 14 = 36,125 Mission 15 = 59,500 Mission 16 = 59,500 Mission 17 = 85,000 Mission 18 = 32,300 Mission 19 = 76,500 Mission 20 = 28,050 Devil Hunter Mission 1 = 6,000 Mission 2 = 50,000 Mission 3 = 65,000 Mission 4 = 50,000 Mission 5 = 40,000 Mission 6 = 80,000 Mission 7 = 50,000 Mission 8 = 50,000 Mission 9 = 60,000 Mission 10 = 70,000 Mission 11 = 80,000 Mission 12 = 45,000 Mission 13 = 50,000 Mission 14 = 42,500 Mission 15 = 70,000 Mission 16 = 70,000 Mission 17 = 100,000 Mission 18 = 38,000 Mission 19 = 90,000 Mission 20 = 33,000 Son Of Sparda / LDK Mission 1 = 10,800 Mission 2 = 108,000 Mission 3 = 117,000 Mission 4 = 117,000 Mission 5 = 90,000 Mission 6 = 144,000 Mission 7 = 90,000 Mission 8 = 90,000 Mission 9 = 153,000 Mission 10 = 135,000 Mission 11 =144,000 Mission 12 = 81,000 Mission 13 = 99,000 Mission 14 = 90,000 Mission 15 = 153,000 Mission 16 = 135,000 Mission 17 = 180,000 Mission 18 = 68,400 Mission 19 = 225,000 Mission 20 = 59,400 Dante Must Die Mission 1 = 18,000 Mission 2 = 180,000 Mission 3 = 195,000 Mission 4 = 195,000 Mission 5 = 150,000 Mission 6 = 240,000 Mission 7 = 150,000 Mission 8 = 150,000 Mission 9 = 255,000 Mission 10 = 225,000 Mission 11 = 240,000 Mission 12 = 135,000 Mission 13 = 165,000 Mission 14 = 150,000 Mission 15 = 255,000 Mission 16 = 225,000 Mission 17 = 300,000 Mission 18 = 114,000 Mission 19 = 375,000 Mission 20 = 99,000 Here is the proof that LDK scoring system is the same as Son of Sparda: 00:10:37 = S 39100 = S 17554 (80%) = A No Item = 1.2 Super Character = 0.2 Total Score = 92,081 = A Total points = (Clear Bonus + Style Points) x Clear Time x Orbs Found x Bonus & Penalty x Difficulty = (1500 + 39100) x 3.0 x 1.75 x 1.2 x 0.2 x 1.8 = 92,080.8 Mission 2 LDK Rank S requires 108,000.

ZombieLover84 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Awesome information. Really in depth. I was wondering if you were planning to do a trophy guide on this, or at least collaborate on one, since I saw in other topics you are playing on PC. I'm honestly not sure I can do this Platinum, and that's coming from someone that had no trouble doing DMC 1, 2, 3 and the reboot on PS3. I have those plats, but this game... I dunno what it is. I never really got into DMC 4 when it was released, in fact I'm not even sure I completed the story. I know this list is obviously tougher than the previous entries, but do you think someone that has been able. To get all the plats in the other games have a decent shot at this list?

I think you have a 10% chance of platting this game unless you are a god at it. I plat every dmc extremely easily but the trophies here are insane, plus dmc4 is naturally the hardest game in the serie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNorris Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 (edited) I beat mission 1-19 on LDK with S ranking as Vergil (regular version, not super) with almost no items usage, however mission 20 is just bs to get S ranking, because boss dies way too fast leaving me with low S stylist pts. I can reach around 4,800 pts with some luck. Any tips (Vergil) for mission 20 S ranking would be great. Edited June 29, 2015 by CNorris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too sure about Vergil but here's how I did it with Lady, seems virtually impossible without items (she can't kill him fast enough): You can quit to the dashboard to preserve your stars on failed attempts, I'm sure you can do it with only 2-3 Devil Stars but why not just make it as stupid as possible.

I do think the shotgun is the fastest way to bring his shield down but it's difficult to have an immediate followup so pistol could potentially be better for pacing. Also something I noticed but failed to implement is if you just shoot a rocket at Sanctus after you catch him once with the grapple then he immediately falls instead of taking however many grapples. As long as you start charging right as you land you should be able to get off a level 3 rocket as well which does 2 bars of damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupid boss doing ragdoll physics after dropping on the ground. Kalina Ann charged shot doesn't have auto-aim when you start charging. Since the boss likes to ragdoll, you will fire the Kalina Ann where he was last standing and thus, you missed! Burst attack right on Sanctus' face works best for me. So it's recommended that you bring lots of Devil Stars in DMD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tosmasta00 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Any tips for S rank on human dif at mission 12 as Trish? I'm always either a lil too slow or find too less orbs at mission 12. Could improve at style points a lil aswell i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunder Blow hits hard as well, and is better suited for single target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reymi004 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Hey random question Whats the best way of dodging big bosses attacks or AOE attacks?? I fought against the white frog yesterday. I am playing on human difficulty. I can only roll if I have a target locked but he jumps. And jumping doesnt help much. Also, the ice monsters that jump and hit the ground with an AOE attack. I guess in harder difficulties is harder to dodge, so I want to learn right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always get hit by something that I have never seen while playing with other fighters. I wonder why Trish sucks so much?

I guess in harder difficulties is harder to dodge, so I want to learn right now. Which character? Dante - Use Trickster. Dash/air dash when about to get hit. Works all the time. Nero - This one is very tricky. Roll sideways right before you get hit. If timed perfectly, Nero will do Table Hopper instead. Vergil - Activate DT, roll sideways and he will do his version of Table Hopper. Lady - Double jump. Enough said. Trish - Double jump then divekick facing the opposite direction of where the boss is. (Do not lock-on any target) The more I play the more I notice that Trish is such a horrible fighter in compare to others. Always get hit by something that I have never seen while playing with other fighters. I wonder why Trish sucks so much? Before I started the game I thought Lady will be in this place but no, definitely NO, Lady is awesome, fast and powerful. Tier List of DMC4SE: God Tier: Super Dante - Missile pod destroys everything. Super Vergil - Judgement Cut End destroys everything. High Tier: Super Nero - Has great crowd control because max rev is automatic. Vergil - Good offensive character. Lacks evasion without using DT. Nero - Buster and Charge Shots are all he needs. Middle Tier: Lady - Lv 3 Kalina Ann is a boss destroyer. Lacks regenerative ability though. Dante - Has huge variety of moveset. Very complicated character to use. Low Tier: Trish - She is now a shadow of her DMC2 version. She lacks Stinger, Helm Breaker, Air Raid, auto-tracking Sparda and she cannot throw away Sparda permanently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhawk12 Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 It would be awesome if you could include red orb secret locations for each mission because getting red orbs from S-SSS style kills dont include enough red orbs for A/S rank for red orbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPatriot Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 It would be awesome if you could include red orb secret locations for each mission because getting red orbs from S-SSS style kills dont include enough red orbs for A/S rank for red orbs Bascially almost everything you see, destroy it for orbs. Thats what counts. Also those big orbs statues or whatever its called. Don´t count for the orb ranks. Some stages that have backtracking. You need to destroy same objects again.

His Dangle will glow brighter if there is a hidden Red Orb nearby. Most Red Orbs can be found on any open rooms or previous missions. E.g. In mission 17, Dante can visit the places Nero visited on mission 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only need to break them to get a Blue Orb Fragment. If you're having trouble with it, just change characters and try again. Also, this game is a little bit creepy. Monsters made out of clothes? Angels, and a giant bee? I thought Kayrie was Beatriz xD Did you know that: DMC1 was originally an RE game but Capcom scrapped the project and it became an original IP of its own. And that's where it all started. The series had a giant spider, a giant monkey, a giant three-headed dog, a giant frogfish, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
