whenever you are at full speed, make a quick stop (smash left joystick down + X) then immediately smash the left joystick up + X,
this will cause agro to brake at full power for about half a second and then continue at full speed.
note: you might have to hold up the joystick and press X multiple times, this doesn't require the very precise timing that is required for just pressing X once.
While Agro is at full speed pressing X or R1+X a few times will cause him to go slightly faster for few seconds (listen to his hooves hitting the ground, they get quicker). Repeat this regularly to maintain maximum speed.
Sorry for the multiple posts, I couldn't fit all the information in one or even two!
Extra sidemount: Hold triangle instead of pressing and go into asidemount. You can release it for a moment so long as you press it down again before Wander finishes his "going into sidemount" animation and hangs. Keep triangle held down. If hanging on the left now press right or vice-versa. Wander will climb back up onto Agro faster with a different animation.
An excellent tutorial on all things Agro. Here's something extra I found. Sudden stop + precise turn. After a sudden stop hold left or right. Once Agro has turned as far as you want him to (up to about 90 degrees) press X again to start moving forward. You can turn as little or as much as you want before pressing X. When chaining together moves that involve the sudden stop if Agro hasn't gathered enough speed it will stop him. Kick before the next sudden stop and you can avoid this.
Thanks for that, very detailed. I discovered standing completely by accident on my own and ended up stand riding everywhere after that! If you keep the Agro movement button (I mapped mine to Triangle but it's × by default) held down once Agro goes into a gallop you can keep that speed even while standing. Just make sure you don't run into any obstacles or he'll come to a complete halt!
Hey great vid, TopDollar! But you forgot something. : D
You can also thump on Agro (if you stand next to him or sit on him) if you press O. I always do it if he did something good, or to say goodbye before i go to kill a colossus. : D
The way you get up off the side mount is wierd, you try and jump back up, when you can simply just move him back on normally. And when you do the sudden stop, you can continue to run at a fast pace to the left or right if controlled properly.
man, it's so funny how little I knew about this game. I beat it and I didn't even know most of this stuff about Agro. I didn't even know his name was Agro untill recently. I jumped right into the game without even looking for instructions(anime sweat drop). glad ta know now tho(insert vash like laugh here).

However, if the timing is perfect and you manage to do this by pressing X once, the process will last noticably shorter.

I found another agro trick,
whenever you are at full speed, make a quick stop (smash left joystick down + X) then immediately smash the left joystick up + X,
this will cause agro to brake at full power for about half a second and then continue at full speed.
note: you might have to hold up the joystick and press X multiple times, this doesn't require the very precise timing that is required for just pressing X once.

Agro is my favorite part of this game. His AI is just fantastic.

other than that good stuff.

Nice guide!
I just pity that I'm done with the game (and don't really feel like playing it anymore) to be able to put those moves to use.

Cool video. I beat the game not knowing how to stand on Agro, and now I feel like I should try to beat it on hard with these strategies..
