Haures

Haures is a Summon of the Venus element first appearing in Golden Sun: The Lost Age. When three Venus Djinn and two Mars Djinn are on standby, and Haures’ Summon Tablet has been collected, the Haures Summon sequence can be activated. It resembles a wretched blue demon emerging from a black mass in a cave to slash through the enemy party in three different directions.

Basic Characteristics
Haures has a base Venus power of 270 and also does additional damage equivalent to 15% of the enemy’s maximum HP. In addition, each enemy affected may be infected with Venom. Haures, however, is not automatically summonable once one collects the required Djinn. Haures can only be summoned once its Summon Tablet has been found in Angara Cavern with the Carry Psynergy found in Golden Sun.

In Dark Dawn, Haures is found in Border Town in the Dream World. First, the player must buy a Dream Leaf from Kolima Village then travel to Border Town. Take a rest in the Inn then the border will open up allowing access to the other side. Walk around the other side to a sprout. Cast Growth on the sprout, climb down, enter the cave, and examine the tablet inside. The player must collect the summon before triggering the Grave Eclipse, otherwise, the summon will be permanently lost. If this happens, it can still be obtained late in the game by means of the Endless Wall glitch, but there is no known way to return to the main part of the game after doing so; the player will be stuck permanently in northern Angara. The Ancient Devil, a bonus boss that can be fought after collecting the Sol Blade, has the ability to summon Haures at will.

Analysis
Haures is not considered as useful a Summon sequence as Eclipse because, in addition to having slightly less power than Eclipse, Haures is acquired much later, though infecting the enemy with Venom is meant to be what makes up for that; in addition, the damage Haures inflicts is Venus-aligned, not Jupiter. It is still a useful summon, however; it can be treated as an enhanced version of the popular Judgment and can easily be used in its place. The optional boss fight against the Sentinel is where Haures is most useful as a summon, doing over 2000 damage compared to Judgment's 1600, and since it requires 3 Venus Djinn and 2 Mars Djinn, Haures can be summoned more times than Judgment because most players have a total of between 16-18 Venus and Mars Djinn each.

Origin: Demonology

Haures (traditionaly Flauros) is a powerful Great Duke of Hell in demonology and commands thirty-six legions of demons. He also tells fact about past, present, and future, but only if he is in a magic triangle (although even this may not be necessary if the question is connected in some way to how he and his fellow dark angels fell from Heaven). He is willing to kill his conjurer's foes with fire. He manifests as a leopard.
