If you are enough of a madman to even attempt this, here are my notes on this bonecrushing journey.
Hies' notes: https://rentry.co/dmd

General:
Everything wil attack you indiscriminately
Lusts can cancel into an uppercut from any forward dash or even from standing still (no sound effect)
Beat other hells before Prides (Lusts in particular)
Always beat the strongest or most troublesome enemies before the weaker ones (the weaker ones will get DT'd). Depending on the room/enemies you may want to dmg them equally, so that the DT'd ones will be weaker already
Parry and release as much as possible
Helm Breaker or Stinger spam to knock down DT'd enemies
Million Stab stunlocks groups
High Time lifts up groups making them vulnerable (easy way to avoid DT'd enemies)
Buy Blue Orbs and get as many fragments as you can/want to
Buy all Purple Orbs
Save Gold Orb for desperate times (Arkham)
DO NOT BUY GOLD ORBS, they do not work (old PC version only glitch)
Save all 3 HWs for Arkham (you can buy more, but Large Vital Stars are more worthwhile)
Get Spiral (for Soul Eaters, Geryon etc.)
Use DT to save yourself from certain hits
