To defeat Agris in Black Desert, follow the mechanics for each phase: handle the Boar carefully during its stages, and use the pillars to counter and dodge Agris's powerful attacks in the main boss fight.
Agris Fight Overview
The Agris boss fight is structured into distinct phases, each with unique mechanics that require player precision and strategic execution. It begins with the Boar encounter and transitions into the main battle against Agris. Recognizing and mastering each mechanic is critical to defeating Agris efficiently.
Agris Phase 1: Boar Mechanics
The first phase centers around the Boar. Players must manage its health and deal with its attacks by following these steps:
steps
- Damage the Boar until its health drops below 75%. At this point, the Boar will move to another area and prepare a ranged magic attack.
- Look for the message prompting you to "Go on then, try to run." The Boar will initiate ranged tree attacks. Dodge these attacks using I-frames or blocking skills like S block, Q block, or Q guard.
- Continue damaging the Boar until its health falls below 50%. A large pillar will then drop into the arena. Avoid the impact damage and immediately hide behind the pillar.
- Bait the Boar to charge into the pillar directly, which will stun it and open up a DPS window for rapid attack opportunities. If the Boar is not defeated during this window, the mechanics will repeat.
Transition to Agris: BSR Phase
You will transition to the main fight against Agris, where the Black Spirit Rage (BSR) skill becomes essential.
steps
- When the encounter with Agris starts, use the 100% BSR skill after the boss has cast the spell that enables this ability. Ensure you are close enough for all hits of the skill to land on the boss.
- After using the BSR skill, you will gain a window to deal significant damage, likely pushing Agris's health below 75% and triggering the first major phase.

Agris Phase 1 Mechanics
Once Agris's health falls below 75%, it enters its first major phase involving a pillar mechanic.
steps
- Observe Agris's spell, which will cause a pillar to drop into the arena. Avoid initial attack damage from the pillar's fall.
- Position the pillar away from Agris's charge. If the boss directly hits the pillar on its initial charge, the mechanic will fail.
- Lure Agris to another area and let it begin its charge attack. Once Agris starts charging, quickly move behind the pillar where a green protective area will spawn.
- Stand inside the green area to trigger a stun. This will protect you from Agris's powerful follow-up attack and provide additional DPS opportunities.

Agris Phase 2 Mechanics
In the second phase, Agris employs root-based attacks in the arena, which players need to navigate carefully to survive.
steps
- This phase begins with Agris casting a spell that causes glowing trees to appear in the arena. These illuminated areas reveal the impending locations of root attacks.
- Position yourself in the gaps between the glowing areas to avoid being hit by the incoming roots.
- If you are trapped by the roots and vines, use Emergency Escape (press V) to free yourself immediately, avoiding Agris's one-shot attack.
- Continue damaging Agris, repeating this phase as necessary until the boss is defeated.
