Swordmaster

There are few enemies in mission 8, so to earn as much stylish points as possible to get an S rank, it is necessary to use the Swordmaster style for its increased number of melee attacks.


Devil Arms #1: Agni & Rudra Devil Arms #2: Cerberus
Guns #1: Ebony & Ivory Guns #2: Shotgun

Leviathan's Inner Core consists of many areas where it's long and narrow (intestines) so it is recommended to use Agni & Rudra whose range of attacks is wide. It will help a lot in earning stylish points if you can obtain Level 3 Jet Stream. Practice so that you can constantly earn S and above ranks for stylish points with the combination of Agni & Rudra and Cerberus.

Get S rank point #1
 

Attempt at S rank after having cleared mission 8

The time requirement to get an S rank in mission 8 is not very strict, but if you don't know your directions well enough you will end up wasting quite some time. So, it is better that you attempt for S rank after you have cleared the mission once, which by then you would have familiarized yourself with mission 8's environments. For your first time through, you may want to clear secret mission 4 which you can find in Leviathan's Stomach (top left pic). Also, do not forget to grab the blue orb fragment on the deck of the ship that is also in Leviathan's Stomach.
 

 Get S rank point #2
 

Defeat Gigapede and gain orbs!

To get an S rank you will need to focus on getting as many orbs as you can. There are few battles in this mission and all the orbs you could have earned in Leviathan's Retina are absorbed away by the key item Ignis Fatuus, making it hard to earn enough orbs. Thus, defeating Gigapede and earning orbs from it will be one of the only ways to achieve this. Gigapede's movements are restricted when it gets to a bend in the path, so take that chance to attack him.
  

 Get S rank point #3
 

Increase your ranks wherever you can!

There are few enemies in this mission so it's important to earn all you can where it's possible. It may be tougher to battle the Hell Envies that appear later in Leviathan's Stomach with acid all over the ground but that is important to increase your stylish points and orbs. In the top right picture, you can see that the 3 red orbs reappear near the spot where the last Tusk seal was during your 2nd arrival at Leviathan's Stomach. Take them if you need more orbs.


Do not forget #1
 

Destroy the Cerberus combat adjudicator!

Before entering the door that has been unsealed, grab the shotgun that is hanging on the wall display to the left. Once taken, you can instantly switch to it using the L2 button.

Do not forget #2
 

Secret mission #4

Secret mission #4 is hidden behind some wooden planks in the hull of the ship at the back of Leviathan's Stomach. Destroy the planks, then press O near the door to activate.


Leviathan's Core


Swordmaster
Devil Arms #1: Rebellion Devil Arms #2: Agni & Rudra
Guns #1: Ebony & Ivory Guns #2: Shotgun

HP: 6500 (core) / 2000 (left lung) / 1500 (right lung)
Attribute: ---   Boss bonus: 4500

  1. Ignore the left lung and attack the right one. Three reasons why. 1) It has less hit points. 2) It is weak against fire, putting Agni & Rudra to great use. 3) You don't lose your Devil Trigger. (Right lung absorbs your Devil Trigger and white orbs while the left lung absorbs all red and green orbs.
     
  2. The right lung has a projected part on its side and if you get caught in this while performing Agni & Rudra's Sky Dance, the limit to performing Air Hike more than once is reset, making it possible to perform Sky Dance + Air Hike again and again. This way, it is possible for you to not land back on the ground at all and avoid the Hell Envies.

Get S rank point
 

Finish the fight stylishly!

If you can use the strategy as stated in point #2 above, it is not impossible for you to receive 0 damage. So all that's left is the stylish points. It won't be hard to earn the necessary stylish points if you can gather the Hell Envies and combo-ing them altogether. Agni & Rudra should be able to do it well. Tornado and Tempest can be of great help against a huge bunch of enemies.

 

Hard & Dante Must Die mode

Throughout the battle the core will shoot two lasers, not one, and the amount of time is also increased. On the other hand, the amount of time the core reveals itself is decreased and the lungs ressurect faster. The right lung also absorbs more Devil Trigger.


Rank & Quality [Normal mode]
  S A B C D
Time 8:30 10:00 11:30 13:00 13:01<
Orbs 3000 2500 2000 1500 1499>
Stylish pts 4000 3000 2000 1000 999>
Damage 5000 10000 15000 20000 20001<
Item Used 100 400 900 1500 1501<

Hard mode

The allocation of enemies is the same as it is in Normal, the only difference being their increase in strength. They may be stronger but by now you should also have obtained new skills and higher stats, so clearing this mission shouldn't be a problem.

Dante Must Die mode

The allocation of enemies in this mode is also the same, but the Hell Envies now turn into Hightime as well, increasing all their stats and making it a lot harder to defeat them. Depending on the situation, use wide ranged attacks and combos wisely on them.

Heaven or Hell mode

You can consider mission 8 to be one of the hardest in this mode. Stepping even once on any of the acid puddles will be instant game over, so be very careful. A good method will be to use Nevan's Air Raid to glide over the acid puddles in Leviathan's Intestines.
