Are you struggling to survive the fiery depths of the Jogo Raid in Sorcerer Ascent? You are not alone. This raid is notoriously difficult, wiping entire squads in seconds with his Domain Expansion. But what if I told you there was a way to cheese the boss, glitch through walls, and secure that rare drop without breaking a sweat?

In this comprehensive guide, I will walk you through everything you need to know about the Jogo Raid in Sorcerer Ascent. We will cover the strict entry requirements, a step-by-step walkthrough of the boss fight, and the exact glitches you can use to exploit the game mechanics. Updated for March 2026, this guide ensures you have the latest strategies before the developers patch things out.

How to Enter the Jogo Raid?

Getting into the Jogo Raid isn’t as simple as walking through a door. It requires specific prerequisites and timing. I spent hours testing the most efficient entry methods, and here is the foolproof process.

Prerequisites

Level Requirement: You must be at least Level 100. If you are below this, the NPC at the gate won’t even acknowledge you. Need to level up fast? Check out our guide on [Sorcerer Ascent Leveling Tips].
Currency: You need 5,000 Yen to purchase the “Raid Ticket” from the NPC.
Cursed Energy: Ensure you have a minimum of 200 Cursed Energy (CE). Jogo has high resistance, and you will run out of juice quickly without a decent CE pool.

Step-by-Step Entry Process

Head to the Investigation Station: Open your map and locate Sector 4. It’s the snowy mountain area, but the raid entrance is inside a cave near the base.
Talk to the Raid Coordinator: Look for the NPC named ‘Ijichi’ standing near the glowing orange barrier.
Purchase Entry: Interact and select “Enter Jogo Raid.” Confirm the 5,000 Yen deduction.
Wait for the Timer: Unlike dungeons, this is a world raid. Even if you enter, the boss won’t spawn until the global timer hits zero. You will see a countdown timer above the arena.

Pro Tip: Do not enter the arena early to AFK. The game kicks idle players after 5 minutes. Wait until the timer is under 1 minute before stepping in.

Understanding the Boss: Jogo’s Move Set

To beat Jogo legitimately (without glitches), you need to understand his attack patterns. He is a Grade 1 boss with devastating fire-based moves.

1. Volcanic Eruption (AoE)

Jogo stomps the ground, causing lava pools to spawn randomly across the arena.

Damage: High (DoT burn effect).
Counter: Keep moving. Never stand still for more than 2 seconds. The lava pools persist for 10 seconds.

2. Ember Insects (Projectile)

He summons fireflies that track players and explode.

Damage: Medium per hit, but they stack.
Counter: Use your dash (Q key) to iframe through them. Blocking is inefficient as it drains your block meter instantly.

3. Maximum: Meteor (Ultimate)

This is his signature move. Jogo summons a giant meteor from the sky.

Damage: One-hit KO (Instant Death).
Counter: Look for the glowing red circle on the ground. This indicates the impact zone. You must run to the very edge of the arena to survive.

4. Domain Expansion: Coffin of the Iron Mountain

At 50% HP, Jogo activates his Domain.

Effect: The arena changes to a volcanic interior. Your health drains passively (1% per second) due to heat.
Strategy: This is a DPS check. You must burn him down before he burns you.

How to Beat Jogo Raid: Legit Strategy

If you want to play fair or if the glitch gets patched by the time you read this, here is the meta strategy for 2026.

Best Builds for the Raid

Weapon: Toji’s Playful Cloud or Sukuna’s Fists. High physical damage works best against Jogo’s fire resistance.
Technique: Infinity (for survivability) or Cursed Speech (to stun lock).
Stat Allocation: Prioritize Strength and Cursed Energy. Speed is secondary because the arena is small.

Team Composition

Tank: One player using “Infinity” or high defense to draw aggro.
DPS: Two players with high burst damage (e.g., Ratio Technique).
Support: One player with “Reverse Cursed Technique” (RCT) to heal the team during the Domain phase.

The Kill Phase

Phase 1 (100% – 50%): Play defensively. Dodge the Ember Insects and chip away at his health. Save your ultimate moves for Phase 2.
Phase 2 (Domain Expansion): Once the domain expands, pop all your damage buffs. Use AoE moves if you are fighting minions he summons. Focus entirely on Jogo.
Phase 3 (Enrage): Below 20% HP, Jogo enrages. He spawns meteors constantly. This is a “burn phase”—ignore defense and just attack.

How to Glitch The Boss?

Disclaimer: Using glitches can be risky. Developers may ban players or patch the game. Use these methods at your own risk. I am sharing these for informational purposes.

Currently, there are two major glitches working in the Jogo Raid as of March 2026. These allow you to defeat the boss easily, often solo.

1. The Wall Clip Glitch (The “Safe Spot”)

This glitch allows you to hide inside a wall texture where Jogo cannot hit you, but you can still shoot him.

Instructions:

Enter the raid arena.
Locate the North-Eastern corner of the map. Look for a jagged rock formation near the lava river.
The Execution: Run directly into the crack between the large rock and the arena wall.
Camera Angle: Rotate your camera 180 degrees. If done correctly, your character will “snap” backward into the void.
Positioning: Once inside, you will see a grey void behind the map. Move slightly forward until you can see Jogo through the wall texture.
Attack: Use ranged attacks (e.g., Blue Cursed Energy blasts). Jogo will try to attack you but his projectiles will hit the wall in front of you.
Meteor Warning: When he casts Maximum Meteor, simply step deeper into the void (away from the map) to avoid the blast radius. Then step back and continue shooting.

Why this works: The game’s collision detection fails on specific jagged edges, allowing player models to pass through “non-solid” walls. The AI pathing breaks because Jogo cannot calculate a path to your coordinates inside the wall.

2. The Domain Freeze Glitch

This is a timing-based glitch that freezes the boss in place during his Domain Expansion transition.

Instructions:

Fight Jogo normally until he reaches roughly 52% HP.
Stop attacking.
The Timing: Wait for him to start the animation for Domain Expansion (he will cross his arms and the screen will darken).
The Stun: Just as the screen fades to black, hit him with a stunning move (e.g., “Stop” from Cursed Speech).
The Result: The game registers the stun after the domain loads but before the AI initializes. Jogo will stand perfectly still in the middle of the domain. He will not attack, and his passive heat damage might not register depending on server latency.
Kill: Unleash all your damage. He will remain frozen until death.

Note: This glitch is inconsistent. It relies on server ping. If you miss the timing, you will be stuck in the domain with an angry boss.

Jogo Raid Rewards

Why go through all this trouble? The loot. The Jogo Raid has some of the best drops in Sorcerer Ascent.

Reward Item	Drop Rate	Description
Jogo’s Essence	5%	Used to unlock the “Disaster Flames” technique.
Volcanic Rock Shard	20%	Crafting material for high-level weapons.
Chest of Curses	30%	Contains random curios and items.
XP	Guaranteed	Approx 50,000 XP per kill.
Yen	Guaranteed	Approx 15,000 Yen.

If you are grinding for the Disaster Flames technique, you will likely need to run this raid 20-30 times. Using the Wall Clip glitch significantly speeds up this grind as you can solo it in under 5 minutes.

Troubleshooting & Common Mistakes

I’ve seen many players fail even with the right information. Here are the most common mistakes to avoid:

Ignoring the Minions: During Phase 2, Jogo summons “Spirit Moles.” If you ignore them, they will stun lock you, allowing Jogo to finish you off with a meteor. Clear the adds first!
Wrong Glitch Spot: The Wall Clip glitch was patched in a previous update, but a new spot appeared March ago. Make sure you are using the North-East corner, not the old South-West spot which will get you stuck.
Running Out of Stamina: Do not spam dash. If you run out of stamina during the “Maximum: Meteor” cast, you are dead. Always keep 2 stamina bars in reserve.
Glitching into the Void: If you go too far into the Wall Clip glitch, you will fall into the endless void and die. Move slowly once you breach the wall.

FAQ’s

Can you solo the Jogo Raid?

Yes, it is possible to solo the Jogo Raid, but it requires high-level stats (Level 150+) and precise dodging. However, using the Wall Clip glitch makes soloing the raid extremely easy, even for lower-level players, as the boss cannot hit you.

What level should I be for Jogo Raid?

The minimum level to enter is 100, but the recommended level for a smooth experience without glitches is 130+. If you are using the glitch strategy, you can enter right at level 100.

How often does the Jogo Raid spawn?

The Jogo Raid spawns every 45 minutes in real-time. There is a countdown timer displayed at the Investigation Station.

Is the Jogo Glitch bannable?

While developer policies vary, typically exploiting game geometry is against Terms of Service. However, in Sorcerer Ascent, the developers have historically focused on patching glitches rather than banning players for them. Use the glitch at your own risk, but it is generally considered safe in the current meta.

What is the drop rate for Disaster Flames?

The drop rate for Jogo’s Essence (required for Disaster Flames) is approximately 5%. With a Luck Booster (purchasable in the shop or via codes), this can increase to roughly 7-8%.

Conclusion

The Jogo Raid in Sorcerer Ascent is one of the most challenging yet rewarding experiences in the game. Whether you choose to face the volcanic spirit head-on with a coordinated team or take the shortcut through the wall glitch, the rewards are well worth the effort.

Remember, game updates happen frequently. The glitches mentioned here are working as of March 2026, but they could be patched in the next update. Be sure to bookmark this page on OfzenandComputing as I update this guide with new working glitches and strategies every month!

Good luck, sorcerers. Go claim that Disaster Flames technique.
