7
Defeat Auguste the Playwright
Auguste the Playwright has a movecalled Fatal Sentence that will instantly kill a character after 6 turns.

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

Auguste has hard hitting attacks and can also buff himself, so focus on using Sword, Polearm, Axe, Ice, and Dark attacks to quickly reduce his shield and prevent him from using Fatal Sentence.

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.

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.

Auguste the Prince of Thieves is accompanied by a Ruinous Rancor that will create a deadly zone during the fight and will use Fatal Sentence to mark a character, and instantly kill them after 6 turns.

Defeat the Ruinous Rancor First

Prioritize breaking and defeating the Ruinous Rancor first to remove the deadly zone and the risk of a Fatal Sentence, then focus on breaking Auguste's shield. The Ruinous Rancor will reappear after a few turns, so make sure to defeat it as soon as possible when it appears again.

Use Analyze to Determine the Boss' Weakness

The boss will change his weakness a total of three times during the fight, so it's a good idea to have a character like Alexia use Analyze to determine his weakness so you can speed up breaking his shield.

Failure to break his shield in time will cause him to use Ire of the Prince of Thieves attack which will hit all of your front row characters for high damage and can easily kill several of your character if they're not at full health.
