You find the Seething Boucheclier boss fight in the Anger Vale area of the Visages region in the game. Head into the Anger Vale and talk to the large mask to begin the fight. As the fight kicks off, the first thing you’ll notice are the four shields on the boss. Use Maelle’s Breaking Rules ability to discard the shields. 

Next, you want to take out the two minions accompanying the boss, especially before the boss enters the counterattack state. The mask in the background frequently grants the Seething Boucheclier an extra turn, which it uses to enter the counterattack state. The boss may use this state to counter your attacks against the minions, so dispose of them as early as you can. 

Once all your focus is on the boss, you want to exploit its weakness to Fire and Dark. You also have to keep tabs on its attacks and parry them. The boss has a standard sword combo, where it slashes at you thrice. This is predictable and easy to parry, but failure to parry will grant the boss extra shields. The other attack is its Gradient Attack, where it jumps and smashes into you. This attack can one-shot you, so it is a must to parry. Parry and counterattack to deal damage and destroy the boss.
