You only have to defeat most bosses once to be done with them in Deltarune. They usually don’t show up again. However, Rouxls Kaard is an exception to this rule. You first encounter this entity in Chapter 2 and have a rematch in Chapter 3. Here is how to beat him the second time.

Rouxls Kaard is a main story boss, and therefore, unavoidable. You will fight him near the end of Chapter 3, right before the final boss of the chapter. This fight starts after you clear the last stealth zone of the TV World. This rematch is much harder than his first fight, so proceed with caution. Moreover, the battle has a unique mechanic where you can only ACT.

The fight starts with Rouxls having two recruits attack you by throwing airplanes with banners flying behind them. You have to repeat this for a few turns until Lancer shows up to your aid.  Once that happens, you will have the option to time your ACT button right to choose the ‘Lancer’ action. Using the Lancer action with all three party members lets you recruit the two enemies. Recruit the first set of recruits to start the second phase.

Second Phase

Two new enemies will come out and toss yarn balls into the air, which curve to fall on you. After this move, Lancer will bring out Lanino and Elnina. Additionally, the difficulty skyrockets here, because you now have a 5×5 grid of ACT buttons to choose from. Moreover, Rouxls starts interfering with the ACT board, so you can accidentally select Rouxls instead of Lancer. Try to avoid selecting Rouxls.

This phase goes the same as the previous one. Keep using the Lancer action to recruit them to your side. Once that happens, Rouxls Kaard will be defeated as all his previous allies turn on him. That was everything to know about defeating Rouxls Kaard in Chapter 3 of Deltarune.
