===Move Set===
 +
* '''Continous Slash:''' He'll do a flurry of sword swipes until he targets a player to jump up and strikes down at them.
 +
 +
* '''Rushing Slash:''' Berias powers up his sword to dash forward and does a circular AoE spinning slash. Another variant of this pattern makes a larger circle and deals more damage.
 +
 +
* '''Charging Grab:''' Functioning like one of [[Sarpoza]]'s Phase 2 patterns and regardless of a player's distance or position, Berias charges up his hand and attempts chasing at his target to grab them in a total of three times. If anyone gets caught, he'll drag them on the ground and stomps down to create energy explosions, dealing very lethal damage.
 +
 +
* '''Wind Slash:''' Berias starts spinning around like a tornado with his sword as he follows players. He'll leave a encroached trail behind him on the ground that damages those who step on it. Afterwards, he'll stop spinning and make the trail that was created explode.
 +
 +
* '''Ghost Summon:''' Berias jumps towards the room's middle section as he smashes downwards with his sword with dark flames appearing to summon and absorb various Ghosts of Destruction around him. Then he will jump airbone to perform a AoE explosion around him followed by a ring of dark flames.
 +
 +
* '''Arena of Ruin:''' Berias stabs the ground and summons numerous Destructive Ghosts that create a dual arena around them that spins clockwise and the player who's trapped is given a target above their head. In order to successfully clear this pattern, he must be countered at least three times in total before either the arena shrinks down in size or a timer gauge below completely fills up. When Berias starts attacking, watch for his eyes glow a different color where:
 +
::If his eyes glow blue, attack him to expand the arena's circle that counts as a successful hit.
 +
::If his eyes glow red, do not attack him as this shrinks the arena's circle.
 +
::Upon meeting the requirements, the arena vanishes and Berias is in his groggy time for only 5 seconds. Failure to counter him results in those ghosts gathering around players to explode, causing an instant-kill.
 +
 +
*  '''<span style="color:red">Berserk</span>'''
 +
** '''Tree of Ruin:''' Berias teleports to the middle section as he summons a red orb alongside launching out a series of shockwaves at the entire party. If anyone takes that orb, they'll transform into a Destructive Ghost who has the ability to reveal either '''<span style="color:purple">Purple Roots</span>''' or  '''<span style="color:Goldenrod">Yellow Roots</span>''' across the map. In order to clear this pattern, the party is required follow whoever became a ghost and destroy at least four purple roots they find before the timer gauge fills up. If done correctly, Berias enters his full groggy time for 15 seconds. '''DO NOT''' destroy the Yellow Roots as this causes AoE damage and failing to meet those requirements can result in a instant-kill wipe.

Berias makes his return and second boss appearance during Black Purgatory as the end boss in Paradise of Ruin.

Move Set

  • Continous Slash: He'll do a flurry of sword swipes until he targets a player to jump up and strikes down at them.
  • Rushing Slash: Berias powers up his sword to dash forward and does a circular AoE spinning slash. Another variant of this pattern makes a larger circle and deals more damage.
  • Charging Grab: Functioning like one of Sarpoza's Phase 2 patterns and regardless of a player's distance or position, Berias charges up his hand and attempts chasing at his target to grab them in a total of three times. If anyone gets caught, he'll drag them on the ground and stomps down to create energy explosions, dealing very lethal damage.

  • Ghost Summon: Berias jumps towards the room's middle section as he smashes downwards with his sword with dark flames appearing to summon and absorb various Ghosts of Destruction around him. Then he will jump airbone to perform a AoE explosion around him followed by a ring of dark flames.
  • Arena of Ruin: Berias stabs the ground and summons numerous Destructive Ghosts that create a dual arena around them that spins clockwise and the player who's trapped is given a target above their head. In order to successfully clear this pattern, he must be countered at least three times in total before either the arena shrinks down in size or a timer gauge below completely fills up. When Berias starts attacking, watch for his eyes glow a different color where:
If his eyes glow blue, attack him to expand the arena's circle that counts as a successful hit.
If his eyes glow red, do not attack him as this shrinks the arena's circle.
Upon meeting the requirements, the arena vanishes and Berias is in his groggy time for only 5 seconds. Failure to counter him results in those ghosts gathering around players to explode, causing an instant-kill.
  • Berserk
    • Tree of Ruin: Berias teleports to the middle section as he summons a red orb alongside launching out a series of shockwaves at the entire party. If anyone takes that orb, they'll transform into a Destructive Ghost who has the ability to reveal either Purple Roots or Yellow Roots across the map. In order to clear this pattern, the party is required follow whoever became a ghost and destroy at least four purple roots they find before the timer gauge fills up. If done correctly, Berias enters his full groggy time for 15 seconds. DO NOT destroy the Yellow Roots as this causes AoE damage and failing to meet those requirements can result in a instant-kill wipe.

Strategy

  • Berias can be seen as a updated version of his Dark Side appearance, heavily emphasising his usage of sword-based combat patterns along with the ability to control Destructive Ghosts, making him far more powerful and dangerous than before.
  • While his Charging Grab can be easily avoided, it is very lethal towards classes with lower defenses.
