In a break from the series' tradition of the Archfiend being a distant figure removed from much of the narrative, Rhapthorne is actually present from the very beginning of the game thanks to his possession of [[Dhoulmagus]]. He is aware of the party's actions against him from the start, and as such his loathing for them is significantly more personal than that of final foes past.

The little twerp has a nasty resistance to all three types of flame on top of [[sap]], but he doesn't have any other strengths besides that. Dazzleflash and Lullab-eye can get annoying, but the glorified anemone doesn't bring too much to the table that can give players a hard time.

Once his shield is broken, Rhapthorne can be attacked in earnest. He has no resistance to elemental damage, a 25% resistance to [[sap]], and immunity to all other debilitation. He'll put his girth to use when swiping with his arm, dealing 100~120 defense piercing damage, and can knock out a character after it connects. The ball on his scepter will deal 281 points of pierce damage to two random targets, and can confuse a character. Anger of the Gods will deal 84~96 points of [[bang]] damage to four random targets. Because his physical skills ignore defence, [[Kabuff]] is useless; cast [[Acceleratle]] to boost evasion and [[Insulatle]] to take the sting out of his breath attacks. Anger of the Gods can devastate the party if the player isn't careful while praying, so don't be afraid to take a turn to heal. Rhapthorne's random targeting can be tricky to counter, but as long as the party is above 50% health throughout the battle, victory is assured.
