Sorrowful Chapelier is not that difficult of a boss fight if you can keep track of his debuffs. As he constantly applies Exhaust (prevents AP gain) on a random team member, make sure to use skills or pictos to gain AP back or cleanse the debuff, respectively.

Another tricky thing to keep track of is the orbiting masks. These can potentially Silence any one of your team members, so it is highly advisable to shoot them down. In that way, you will not have to worry about dodging these masks while dealing damage to the boss.

The Sorrowful Chapelier boss has three types of attacks. Here is how to deal with each one:

• Orbiting Masks: Best to destroy these when you get your turn. If you wish to dodge them, wait for them to come close.
• Single target attack: You can either parry or dodge these attacks according to your preference. These are easily predictable as they have a distinct high-pitched sound cue.
• Multiple target attack: Sorrowful Chapelier attacks three times with his axe. It is highly advisable to dodge these attacks, as you can only parry two of them.
