Note:
Be VERY careful of the acid and steer clear as best
you can. Touching even a small margin of it
will kill your rank. I have ended this mission
with 96 damage before and only got an S rank
because of it.
For the pathway with acid, you
can hug the right wall and only have to jump
at 2 occasions. It is essential that you LEARN where those spots are
for your 2nd time through (which you MAY want to use Air Raid to
get through, though the DTE could
be put to better use).
Note 2: Keep track
of your orb count here. If you are on 999,999,
buy a lot of items to reduce the number. If for some reason you can't,
you'll need guess work during Leviathan's battle.

This is fairly simple.
After a bit of practice, you'll find
these 2 battles a synch. First off, make your
way to the end of the level. Even at a good pace,
you still have to dodge 1 of his attacks,
which is a short snap. To avoid this, as soon
as he stops screeching, jump. Keep in mind that on
DMD, he NEVER does his long delayed bite, so
simply wait for him to stop making noise.
Once you reached the end, your view may be slightly
impaired but it shouldn't matter. You can
literally do this with your eyes closed. Wait
for him to bite, then jump + Hammer +
Nevan Air Scythe (2 hits) and fall
straight to the ground. Don't try geting
in an extra K bee; it won't work. Repeat
this until Giga is "stunned", which is
hinted by a loud screech.
Finish whatever you
are doing (e.g. both Scythe slashes)
and perform a Real Impact (extend it for as
long as possible). Then Killer Bee and Scythe
slash (ground). Ground Scythe slash can be
cancelled with a jump if Giga tries to
bite. Repeat
the same combo until he's stunned (faster this time) and do Real Impact again.
He will die after the second Real impact.
Note: Keep in
mind that it takes a short while before the 1,000 red orb
appears, so be patient. Also, a dead Giga still lets
you pull off a full Real impact so have fun.

Bunch up the first 5. It's easy - just run around amidst them dodging
each swing. Once they are
close to each other, pull out a Jam Session and
finish it with a Trans-Flux, then deactivate and
taunt. For the last 3, just go over and
play around with them. Taunt in between Jam
sessions and Crazy Rolls. Try to fill your
DT gauge back up without letting your style
dwindle. A pretty easy fight.

As you know by now, the point of
this room is to feed orbs to the Fatimus.
Do exactly what you did in the previous battle. Bunch them ALL up together,
Jam Session and DTE. Repeat this until the Fatimus fills up, but
don't use DTE this time.

This is exactly the same
as the previous Giga battle, except, your view will be
nearly totally impaired, though it shouldn't
matter too much.

Boss —
Leviathan Heart Core

Set up - Swordmaster
with E & I + Beowulf & Nevan
This is a rather tedious battle. Your sole aim
is to kill the red and blue lungs at the SAME
time, ALONG with all the Envies that plague the
battlefield. This may sound hard but it isn't.
Keep in mind that the red lung offers 600 orbs
whereas the blue lung offers a healthy 1200.
Killing all at once offers a great reward
for your efforts. If you have below 999,999
orbs, hopefully you have kept track of your
orb count. As soon as you've gotten 10,000 orbs for this mission, start wailing
at the Heart-Core using the strategy below:
Orb Farming - Orb
farming is the tedious part of this fight but
it is a quick way to earn what you need. Start
off by attacking the blue lung. Hopefully
you have full DTE as that is pretty much the
main requirement for this. After knocking out half
its health, the Envies should be on your
tail (or on top of you). At this
point, run to the DIRECT front of the red lung and
shoot it once with E & I, then prepare a
Real Impact + Tornado. Give it a quick Hammer
and then return to the blue lung. Knock it
down to a SLITHER of health (equivalent to about
1 Hammer or Nevan Slash) and then do the same for the red lung.
Once done, drop down and
DTE the crowd of Envies (don't have to hit
them all).
Grab the orbs from the red lung and proceed
to the blue lung. Kill it immediately (forget
about the Heart-Core; it will feel your wrath
soon enough). Once the blue lung is down, collect all remaining orbs.
Do this again, but this time you'll have
to taunt at EVERY given interval to refill
DT. A single E & I shot at intervals will
stop the blue lung from leeching your DT, so keep
reasonably close to it and hit it from time
to time until your DT bar is nearly full. Once
it's full, repeat the strategy above
once more. After this mass kill you should have
MORE than enough orbs to clear this mission.
Killing LHC - to kill
LHC quickly, all you really have to do are 3 moves -
Air Scythe, Hammer and Real Impact. Immediately
head for the blue lung, Air Scythe and Hammer
cancel whilst rebounding off of the Envies. If
you feel unsafe with this strategy, K Bee
rebound the lung. Both ways are safe.
Once the lung is dead, the core will most likely shoot lasers.
Now THIS is your cue. Before the core opens up, target it and KEEP it locked on.
Then jump and Air Hike with Beo and switch cancel
between Hammer and Nevan Scythe at the SHELL
above the lasers. This inflicts HUGE damage, but
to further increase that damage (if you are skilled
enough), switch to Hammer right after the FIRST hit of
the Scythe Slash. Once the lasers stop,
drop to the ground and head to the left
of the core and prepare a Real Impact
+ DTE. You should have taken down at LEAST half his
health with this strategy. Repeat it once more
and you are gold. This concludes mission 8.
