// P‑RANK ABSOLUTE REQUIREMENTS
Zero Deaths – You absolutely cannot die. A single death completely throws out your chances of a P-Rank, even if you restart from the beginning of the level.
No Checkpoint Restarts – Do not press that checkpoint button! Loading back in after a death or reset immediately drops your highest potential grade by an entire rank tier.
S in Time, Kills, and Style – You must hit a clean S-Rank in Time, Kills, and Style score simultaneously in a single playthrough!
No Major Assists – Play it pure! Turning on Major Assists in the options turns your rank screen blue, which voids all S/P certifications.
No Cheats – Activating any debug options or cheats adds a green dash to your screen, preventing any score from being saved!
Achieving all P‑ranks in an Act unlocks that Act’s Prime Sanctum.
