Worthy of Legend a ridiculous trophy

[Idle]

Listen, I'm all for difficult trophies. I was really thinking about attempting a 100% on this game. But cmon, does anyone else think getting a S rank every mission 5 times, with one of the difficulties being a one hit kill a bit overboard? If it was one time on the hardest difficulty I'm for it. But this seems so incredibly tedious. Is there anyone out there who is actually going to put them selves through this for the 100%?

[Dante9006]

Yeah I've always thought these type of requirements were tedious. I'd love to 100% this game but I doubt I'll be able to play skillfully enough to be able to get S rank on all missions on all difficulty modes. It's too insane for me. It's a shame too. Because of requirements like this is why I've never 100% a DMC game with in recent years. Excluding DmC Devil May Cry which was fairly easy compared to the main line series. It's a shame, I've loved the series since the beginning and I'd love to complete this one.

I'd rather have this trophy instead of stupid "Defeat this boss with style rank SSS".

[IlluminaZero]

I'm curious how this would be done at the easier difficulties actually. I mean there are some missions in Devil Hunter difficulty that I'm having difficulty S ranking simply because the enemies are too weak to style on.

Like use weakest attacks, taunt, and keep doing ad-nauseum to max out style or something?

There IS a no damage bonus but I usually get hit by some stray projectile or something so ♥♥♥♥ replaying the mission all over again just because I made the smallest mistake on the easiest difficulties.

In particular - Mission 10. The first mission you play Dante in. This mission just refuses to give me S rank on completion. And this mission is long enough to get annoying to replay over and over again.

Yeah, some missions on specific difficulties such as DmD or HaH can be really though to get an S rank on. It is really challenging. But at the end of the day, it is nothing more than an achievement. You don't unlock anything for getinng S ranks all across the board. It is just there for bragging rights, to challenge yourself and to get more value out of the game.

I do understand that there are quite some people out there that have a desire to 100% every game. Some games are more fair than others. But that's just how the cookie crumbles.

[IlluminaZero]

Although one thing that may help - Some moves such as Dance Macabre only seem to finish on the last hit. Meaning that even against the weakest of enemies you can do the full combo for high style ranking.

[Dante9006]

On the upside, depending on how you look at it, by not taking a hit you get a x2 multiplier and another x1.20 multiplier for not dying. So in total a x3.20 score increase. Even if you only do horrible D-Rank combos you are guaranteed to get S-Ranks if you haven’t taken a single hit, due to the multiplier effect. Not being hit a single time is really challenging without Infinite Devil Trigger though (especially during some boss fights such as the Final Boss).

Tedious, yes. Unexpected, no. This is the challenge of DMC and not at all unexpected as a trophy/achievement. That's why they're achievements.
It's not like they actually do anything, they're just for aesthetic and some bragging rights. (and I am a completionist so I know it can drive you crazy, but tough ta-tas, some things in life are difficult and/or tedious.)

[Arashi]

Multipliers are helping you with this.
For not getting hit at all you get 2.2 multiplier that basically grants you s rank for existing.

On hell and he'll while it may be hard it isn't impossible . I'd say it is on par with ultra hard achievements from different games. Mein Leben in Wolfenstein 2 is similar. It requires you to complete the game without dying or saving. So 2-4 hours without mistakes where ttk is below 1 s.

Worst kind of achievements require you to buy stupid dlc that is basically same cost as the game and give you extra hour or two of content but have to finish them for last 2-3 achievements.

u guys are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, this game is all about getting better and more skillfull, so getting an s on every chapter maybe hard but getting there is worth the trouble

Better than those "use/kill X 1000 times" achievements.

[Star Taker ✨]

You will be surprised how high the skill ceiling is in this game franchise... some people can beat M19 on HAH without dying once and get an S rank.

This game takes into account the easier difficulties by having much lower requirements for S rank on lower difficulties. I S ranked every mission on human on my first try. In DMC4 it was way harder to S rank Human mode.

Mission 10 is one of the problem missions that gives you a lower average of style points in general It's harder to S rank than most missions on all Difficulties (outside of Heaven or Hell).

Whenever you finish a fight the game will show you your current average style rating. When going after an S rank with no continues bonus check what your average needs to be by dividing the S rank requirement by 1.2. And aim to keep the number you see after every fight above that threshold. This way you will know if you are close to getting an S rank or so far away from it that you are better of restarting.

I did something like that for DMC4, but there wasn't an achievement for it. Neither did it record the score.

It'll take a while, but I'm making progress.

Don't get hit = X2.00 bonus.

So getting an S rank is actually pretty easy.
