In Order to Obtain G-Rank I would Recommend that you Focus on getting all Hidden Bonuses while getting as much Points in Combat as you can, also try to Break all Objects and Pick up all Orbs.
Hidden Bonus;
- DO NOT Fall
- DO NOT Recover
- DO NOT DIE
- Steal all Weapons from your Enemies
- Find all Fruits of Wisdom ( Big Red Question Marks)
If you Fall / lose all your Life / Die / Accidently kill an Enemy without Stealing his Weapon. Quit to the Main Menu and Reload your most Recent Save. Also don't miss a Fruit! I don't know if it is Required to kill all the Enemies in a Chapter so I Disarmed and Killed all of them to be safe.. you should do the same :).
Combat:
Combo Counter: The higher your Counter the more Points you will get but also weaker Attacks gives you less Points so try to use your most Powerful Attacks.
Aerial Attacks: You will get more Points by using Aerial Attacks.
Multi Hits: If you hit 2 or more enemies with your Attacks you get even more Points!
Perfect Guards: Hard to Perform but give you even more Points but don't worry you don't have to be a Master at Guarding to Obtain a G Rank :).
The Arch: Good Weapon overall: Try to use Aerial Attacks (Jump X-X-X-X or RB + Direction + X-X-X-X). Jump + hold X works pretty good for Disarming.
The Gale: Ranged Weapon, gives less Points so a High Combo is Recommended. Press X ,short delay , X works good for slower Enemies, RB+X for Close encounters , Jump + Hold X works great for Disarming.
The Vale: to be honest at first i didn't like this Weapon at all, but it is very Powerful and give you lots of Points.
RB+X to stun and mash X works good, Jump RB+ Hold X , Jump + X , holding down X & Release works fine too.
Enemies:
Most of the Enemies won't give you to much trouble but... Armored Enemies can be a real Pain...
Be Aware your Enemy Spawn Depends on which WEAPON you wield...
if you wield an Arch: Gale Enemies will Spawn
if you wield a Gale : Vale Enemies will Spawn
if you wield a Vale : Arch Enemies will Spawn
Arch Enemies:
The hardest Enemies imo, they are fast and Hit Hard...repeatedly... if your not good at Guarding don't get to Close! Two at once can be a Real Pain.
Arch: The Hardest Weapon to fight them because you have to get Close to them, Jump + Hold X Works for Disarming.
Gale: Jump + hold X works great for Disarming.
Vale: Avoid him and wait for his Spinning Attack (looks like Whirlwind in Diablo 2) Jump in the Air and Press RB+ Hold X to Launch them in the Air, now all you have to do is
wait for him to hit the ground and constantly Launch him in The Air with your HOLD X and Release Attack and steal his Weapon. Cheap Strategy but Works. Try to Time your
Jump RB+ Hold X at the Moment he stops Spinning.
Gale Enemies:
Two at Once can be Annoying , try to Guard / Dodge .
Arch: Again Jump + Hold X is your best Bet also RB+X to Launch them in the Air works.
Gale: Jump + Hold X but also Focus on Dodging .
Vale: RB+X & mash X works good but also makes you Vulnerable, Launch attacks as Mentioned before works good.
Vale Enemies:
Arch: Again Jump + Hold X
Gale: Jump + Hold X, the big and Slow Vale Enemies can be easily Destroyed just keep your Distance and Press X ,short delay, and press X again...Rinse and Repeat.
this will insanely Raise your Combo Meter if Performed correctly the Enemies don't stand a chance but don't forget to Disarm them!
Vale: RB+X Mash X works good , launch attacks too :)
Chapter Guides:
I've watched Videos Recorded by Japanese Players, these guys are really Good at this Game but don't worry you don't have to be as good as they are to obtain Rank G. Please do yourself a Favor and don't try to Fight Naked if your not a Master at Guarding:). Try to Adapt some of his Strategy especially in Boss Fights! You can Rack up lot's of Points so Watch Carefully!
Also Watch out for Fruits of Wisdom!

Actually the shield break X wait X I found is very good with the Vale. The hit has a lot of weapon steal power to it. Good for Vale and Gale steals. Arch will still delete your entire heathbar in 1 second if you do anything other-than stun then hold X, so still doesn't address the one enemy type that really matters.
These two trophies are what make the Platinum difficulty so steep, and as such, are best left for last, after all others are completed so that you can focus solely on your performance during the chapter. The two hardest trophies in the game to obtain are "Conqueror" and "Adept", but because difficulties stack, both can be acquired by earning a G rank in every chapter on Hard mode. (Note that it is not necessary to play for Score on EXTRA difficulty.)
Score is based upon your difficulty, time taken to complete the level, combat prowess, platforming ability, with a bonus given for secrets found during the chapter. Here are some tips for obtaining the best possible rating:
- Do Not Fall During The Platforming Sections. Falling greatly diminishes your final rank, so it is advisable to attempt to never fall, backing out to the Main Menu and reloading if necessary. In Chapter 8 especially, do not allow yourself to fall even once, as this will keep you from getting the "My Acrobatic Friend" trophy.
- Pick Up All Available Large Flames. There are 3-5 of these in each Chapter, usually inside a breakable object or in a (slightly) out-of-the-way place.
- Steal Weapons From Enemies and Go For High Combos
- DO NOT WEAR THE SPECIAL ARMOR. As previously, the Special Armor nullifies a great portion of your score and will make it impossible to achieve G-ranking.

Chapter 05 - total score: 4,100,000, of which Secret Bonus: 1,780,000
Chapter 06 - total score: 1,510,000, of which Secret Bonus: 690,000

Refer to the table above for the minimum number of points for each chapter to have an idea at what stage you made a mistake. And feel free to replay.
The total score consists of: Score, Time Bonus and Secret Bonus.
The scoring system operates according to the principle described below.
Time Bonus is the most insignificant part, so don't worry about it. The main thing is not to hesitate too long.
To get a high Score you need to: complete a combo, the higher the better; use strong blows, attacks on a group of enemies, air attacks; break blocks; block enemy strikes with a perfect block; Collect as many Power Flames as possible.
You can take damage, but you can't die. Death resets the Score counter.
Don't take chances with a perfect block if it's difficult for you and don't beat yourself to death. There will be times when you could be killed before you have time to react. However, Enoch does not die immediately. When the eye begins to close, use the "Last Minute" tactic. - go to the menu and restart from the last AutoSave.
Secret Bonus and the most important indicator:
- you can’t die (see above)
- you can’t fall while passing platform sections (if you fall, restart from the last AutoSave)
- Recovery cannot be used ("Last moment" tactics and restart from the last AutoSave)
- take away weapons from each enemy on the level. (Weapons can be taken away by first stunning the enemy. Attention, enemies in the air are not stunned and can die. If killed without taking away the weapon, restart from the last AutoSave)
- collect all the Fruits of Wisdom (some are found during the game, others are well hidden, and obtaining some requires you to fulfill certain conditions)
