Angram the Purifier Boss Guide

Learn how to defeat Angram the Purifier in V Rising! This guide covers his location, attacks, weaknesses, and the best strategies to take him down.

Alright, let's talk about Angram the Purifier! He's a big dude in the Pools of Rebirth, located in the northwest part of Gloomrot South. If you're having trouble finding him, there are Vampire Waygates nearby to help you get closer. Your best bet is to use the Waygate in southern Gloomrot South, head north, and then take the west path at the next couple of intersections. Keep heading north, and you'll eventually reach the Pools of Rebirth – you really can't miss him once you're there. He's usually busy fighting some mutants when you arrive.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Angram has two shield types: Front Barrier (protects his front) and Inverse Barrier (protects his back). You MUST attack the unshielded side, or his damage will reflect back at you!

Phases:

1. Melee Combo: Angram does a quick two-hit punch combo if you're too close. Don't just stand there; keep moving!
2. Rocket Punch: He'll launch himself across the arena. Wait until he's close, then dodge *through* the attack. This stuns him briefly, giving you an opening.
3. Tracking Shot: Angram fires up to six orbs that follow you and leave damaging flames on the ground. Just keep moving in one direction until it's over, trying to stay out of the lingering flames.
4. Wide Volley: Five orbs are fired in an arc. The trick here is to run *towards* the orbs and dodge *through* them towards Angram.
5. Exhaust Shot: Fired behind him when you attack his back. Dodge through him to his front if you can, but be ready to dodge this if you go for his back.
6. Sweeping Barrage: He'll fire a series of orbs across the arena, then back again. Stay back and only dodge if an orb is about to hit you. Dodging towards him can give you an attack opening.
7. Frontal Barrier: Protects his front, reflecting damage. Attack his back, but watch out for Exhaust Shot.
8. Inverse Barrier: Protects his back, reflecting damage. Attack his front.

Strategy:

• The biggest challenge here is the persistent flame pools left by his attacks. They really shrink the safe space.
• When he's using his ranged attacks (Tracking Shot, Wide Volley, Sweeping Barrage), hang back and be ready to dodge.
• The Rocket Punch is a great opportunity. Dodge *through* it as he's about to hit you, then get in some hits while he's recovering.
• When he uses his Inverse Barrier (back is shielded), you can get behind him and attack. Just be super ready to dodge his Exhaust Shot.
• For his Melee Combo, either dodge through it or create distance.
• Basically, bait his ranged attacks from afar, then close in to hit the unshielded side. Keep moving constantly to avoid the lingering chaos energy.
