Get Close to Cancel its Shield
The Agaddon Champion will occasionally disengage and activate its shield while firing projectiles at you. To end this defensive stance, get near it to provoke a melee attack and open up its defenses.
Prepare for Hell Surge Melee Combos When Getting Close
Upon getting close to the Agaddon Champion to cancel it's shield, you have to prepare to parry a flurry of Hell Surge melee attack combos. Be patient and focus on parrying these attacks and wait for an opening before unleashing your counterattack.

Abyssal Forest Mission Challenges
| Challenge | Details and Reward |
|---|---|
| Ghostbuster | Parry 3 Revenant Projectiles Reward: 1 Ruby |
| Knockout | Execute 5 demons with shield charge. Reward: 50 Gold |
| Bone Collector | Collect 100 ammo loot drops from melee striking demons. Reward: 50 Gold |
Ghostbuster
Simply parry with your shield thrice to clear the challenge. Quite simple and easy to do, as you can finish this mission by just waiting for the revenant to launch projectiles again and again, and parrying as needed.
Knockout
Lower the enemy's health, then parry their attacks to get them in a dazed state. Finish them off with the shield charge to get this mission done.
Bone Collector
This mission can be achieved through normal gameplay, as you would be meleeing quite often to replenish ammo. If, for some reason, your difficulty is lowered to a degree where you never run out of ammo, you can dump your ammo elsewhere and use the melee mechanic to replenish it via enemy fodder.
