Igris Commander Raid Solo Hunters Guide, How to Beat Fast & More!

The latest update in Solo Hunters adds one of the toughest endgame challenges so far. The Commander Raid introduces a powerful new boss, boosted leveling options, and an AFK reward system that changes how players farm gems. This guide breaks down the important mechanics, how to prepare, and the best way to approach the new content without wasting time. Also check out our Solo Hunter Codes for more rewards!

Empowered Gates Explained

Empowered Gates are special golden gates that randomly appear around the map. They function like normal gates but offer much higher experience rewards. Key details about Empowered Gates:

• They spawn randomly where regular gates appear
• Most gates respawn roughly every 15 minutes
• They take longer to clear than normal gates
• The XP reward is extremely high

For example, an S+ Empowered Gate can grant around 26 million XP. That makes them one of the best leveling methods in the game. If you are trying to reach the 400k+ power requirement for the Commander Raid, rotating across the map and farming these gates should be your main focus.

The Time Machine AFK Gem System

The update quietly adds a feature called the Time Machine, which works as an AFK gem generator. Here is how it works:

• You earn at least 1 gem per minute while idle
• There is a 0.5% chance to receive a class reroll
• On average, this equals about one reroll every 3 hours
• Inviting friends improves your rewards
• The system auto-resets, so no manual input is needed

This feature is especially useful for mobile players. You can park your character at the Time Machine and collect passive rewards while doing something else.

How to Unlock the Igris Commander Raid

The Commander Raid is centered around the boss Igris and is designed strictly for endgame players. To access the raid:

1. Travel to the diamond-shaped cove near the large hexagon corner of the map
2. Enter the cave located in that area
3. Complete a short trial by pressing a button and clearing the challenge
4. Unlock the raid gate at the back of the cave

Once unlocked, the gate usually stays accessible even after switching servers. Important requirement: you should have at least 400k power. Entering below that level will likely result in instant defeat.

Raid Drops and Farming Expectations

The Igris Commander Raid has four main drops:

• A sword with a 1% drop rate
• A helmet with a 2% drop rate
• A chest plate with a 2% drop rate
• Leggings with a 2% drop rate

On average, you may need around 50 runs per armor piece and close to 100 runs for the sword, assuming no pity system. Farming a full set can easily take dozens of hours depending on luck.

Igris Boss Phases and Mechanics

The fight against Igris has two major phases.

• Phase One During phase one, Igris uses dash attacks and heavy slashes across multiple health bars. With strong gear and sustain, this phase is manageable.
• Phase Two At around two and a half health bars, phase two begins. Igris fully heals and gains increased defense. He becomes more aggressive and summons swords that lock down sections of the arena.

You must destroy these swords to move freely. If trapped, survival depends on mobility and precise timing. Skills with invincibility frames and strong area damage are extremely valuable for maintaining pressure while repositioning.

The Commander Raid update adds a demanding but well-designed endgame challenge in Solo Hunters. Empowered Gates help players scale faster, and the Time Machine offers steady passive gems, but the Igris raid itself is built for high-power characters willing to grind. Players above 400k power should focus on optimizing solo runs, while those below that threshold should prioritize leveling through Empowered Gates first. With proper preparation and patience, the update offers a rewarding path for players aiming to push into Solo Hunters’ toughest content.
