Agnus

Agnus is encountered as the level boss of Mission 9 then becomes part of the boss rush in Mission 19. This boss is arguably one of the hardest fight in the series due to the reasons below.

• Both fight starts the same way with CS'3 → DT → EX3-Calibur
• Mission 7 - Conserve DT for his Gladius spawn. This allows you to min-max your damage while staying in DT longer however, you must turn off DT once he is stunned to save DT → CS'3 → EX3-Calibur for making him stay in the same spot after the first knock down.
• Mission 19 - Basilisk allows you to use all of your DT-Gauge since you can Buster them to easily stun Agnus and a nice white orb drop.
• The purpose of Slash → Aerial Combo is to ensure that you can react to his patterns and fix Nero's spot when he is being pushed back by inertia.

• Hardest fight in the game because of the two Full Just Frame Charges V1 | V2
• As seen above, the movement and the camera line must be perfect for the Basilisk to not attack.
• DRI usually make ups the loss if the first Straight 2 was not good.
• Alternative second sequence is distorting last two hits of Combo A despite being risker, it usually salvages the situations better than a second Straight 2
• When things go south make absoutely to stay on ground and spam Reb Combo A. This so your DRI won't whiff when you have opportunity to execute it.
• Because Combo A requires six DT stock. Consider using the Back-up cycle that involves Overdrive kill against Basilisk.
