You'll need to break his shield within six turns to remove the timer and prevent the targeted character from dying.

| 8 |  After the fight, a cutscene reveals that the Auguste you've just defeated was an impostor and the Schwartz you've been accompanying was actually Auguste the whole time, and will then transform into a monstrous form for another boss fight. |
| 9 |  Defeat Auguste the Prince of Thieves A Ruinous Rancor will periodically appear alongside Auguste the Prince of Thieves. You'll want to prioritize breaking and defeating the Ruinous Rancor to get rid of the deadly zone that appears during the fight. Alexia is great for this fight since she can use Duskblight to deal damage to both the Ruinous Rancor and Auguste, which helps speed up breaking both their shields. Auguste the Prince of Thieves will also change his weakness after a few turns. Have Alexia use Analyze to figure out his current weakness, then prioritize breaking his shield to avoid getting hit by his Ire of the Prince of Thieves attack which can easily KO several party members. |
| 10 |  After the fight, Auguste will thank you for finally defeating him and breaking his cycle. A funeral will be held outside the Amphitheatre and Simeon the Poet will reveal that Schwartz was Auguste's name in the past before he became famous, which also concludes the chapter. |
