====== Possessed Arius ====== **Possessed Arius** is the final boss of [[dmc2:chapters:lucia_info|Lucia's Disc]] which is encountered in Mission 13. This fight has two phases and are completely trivialized by Aerial Heart + Flame Heart. Transforms into ** Arius-Argosax** in phase 2. Much similar to [[dmc1:bosses:mundus|Mundus]], this boss is essentially an auto-scroller. **NG+ Note:** Same strategy as New Game.\\ \\ **Arius-Argosax** only gets stunned, if an attack hits the face. > There is a rare attack pattern that **Possessed Arius** performs which is the Rubble Throw. This object is breakable and has a value of **80 HP** ===== Strategy ===== > It's very important to have Cutlaseer upgraded as Lv3 and you at least afford 2 Large Devil Star. If you are unable to afford the third Purple Orb then you'd want to start the fight with Cranky Bombs for max DT Build. * Aerial Cross Strafing is used to re-adjust [[dmc2:chapters:lucia_info|Lucia's]] position for maximum damage. * 1 Large Devil Star must be saved for the second phase. * **HD Collection** triggers **Flame Heart Glitch**, which makes Phase 2 fight significantly faster. * Divine Anger does a lot of damage against **Arius-Argosax**. However, this is only recommended to use if [[dmc2:chapters:lucia_info|Lucia's]] DT gauge is near to run out, and that case is extremely rare in **HD Collection**. However, it should be used as main strategy in **NTSC region** of the **PS2 port**. ===== Video Demonstration =====

In phase 1, try to avoid hitting arius from behind a lot, since you are going to miss a lot of damage

Phase 2 is self-explanatory as long as you hit the face in a sweet spot, you are going to deal massive damage thanks to Flame Heart Glitch
