Agreus | Boss Battles Castlevania: LoS 2 Guide

Agreus
Agreus is probably one of the easiest bosses in the game - he doesn't have any special attack (besides one, which is covered below), nor he can fight from afar (besides the one mentioned exception). His arsenal of attacks is limited to melee fight - unfortunately, most of his melee attacks are unblockable (again, look for a red flash just before those kind of attacks), which is why this time you will rely more on dodging than blocking attacks.
Every now and then Agreus will swap his weapon (from a 2-handed to two 1-handed swords), which adds some mobility to his attacks - luckily, it's a dream come true for you, because most of those attacks are blockable or trivial to dodge, in comparison to his normal attacks performed with 2-hander. The one special attack that was mention before is:
- Spear Throw - if you are hit with it, a QTE sequence will be initiated. If you fail to complete it, Agreus will deal a significant amount of damage to you - on the other hand, if you do it correctly, you won't be receiving any damage at all. You can avoid the whole QTE sequence if you just dodge and won't let him hit you with the spear, but even if you got hit try to press the button in the right moment and you will be safe and sound.
Try to "sit on him" as much as you can, trying to avoid getting hit by his unblockable attacks and the fight shouldn't take long. When his health drops to zero, a final QTE sequence will be initiated and after that the fight will be over.
