i need some help on the 2nd boss fight with agnus, the closest i got to beating him was a cm of life left, it was down to the last hit and he got it first but the more times i try again, i get beat early on plus i have no vital stars left
Basically, regardless of what character you are (since there are officially 3 fights with Agnus, so you could be Nero right now), you just have to dodge and attack.
He will spawn Gladius and Balisks (I knnow I spelt that wrong) every once in awhile. You can either take them out, or use your Buster if you are Nero to launch them (or the fireballs from them) at Agnus.
His basic sword combo is two slow slashes. He will do the first one, then come back up with the second one, very easy to dodge.
He will also shoot fireballs at you, which has the same basic animation as when he releases lesser demons into the battle. The only different is you will see the fireballs sit in the little spell thing for a second before they fire.
He has a life draining move where talks and charges up, then comes dashing towards you. You can either try and dodge it, or if you are DT, he can't grab you. If he does grab you, you can DT to get out of it.
When he gets to lower health, he adds three attacks to his arsenal.
The first one he will go into the middle of the room and charge up, then release a blast that will hit you anywhere and take tons of life from you and give it back to him. Mainly, you just get up to his ASAP and beat the crap out of him until he gets out of it.
His next move is he will send 2 Cutlasses into the grond, and they will both come up at the same time to try and injure you. Just simply dodge it by getting out of the way.
The last one, he will grab two Cutlass out of nowhere, and start swinging around (kind of like the Mephisto's move, but slower), and then throw them away. So just make sure you get out of the way, and I am pretty sure he favors throwing the Cutlass upward, so jump in the air and get down ASAP to dodge the attack.
So just keep a lookout for his moves, and when you know which one it is, dodge accordingly.
I think one of the biggest mistakes that people make against Agnus, especially on the harder difficulties, is that they try to just beat the crap out of him and not dodge. He really doesn't flinch as often as people think he does, and the chances are, no matter how hard he is smacking you, he probably will not flinch before he performs his move on you.
