Huge thanks to Xetnevs for some of the strats used in this, as well as KT1834 for the safe Urizen strat. This mission is a bit of a pain in the ass, I think this one really highlights how bad the game's score averaging system is. If you're going for true S rank, you're pretty much forced to dance taunt (and have most if not all of it play out before being interrupted) before every encounter or else your points ends up dipping below 6000 by the end of it, even if you're playing competently the whole way through. I really wish a simple cumulative score akin to DMC4 was in place instead, therefore you'd actually be able to fight any enemy encounter you want and not have to dance your ass off before throwing a punch.
Once you find a consistent method, the actual enemies in the encounters aren't that hard to deal with. It's mostly the Hell Judeccas you gotta watch out for, since they tend to pull some tricky shit with all their teleporting nonsense. Anyways, we're now just down to missions 12 and 18 and the run'll be complete. I'm sure some of the dumbest shit is yet to come.
