| 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. |

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.
