"Kaiser. We finally meet."

August is a supportive non-playable character and potential enemy in Fear & Hunger 2: Termina. He is a strange gentleman who seems to be aware of what is going on more than the rest of the cast. August is one of the fourteen contestants arriving at Prehevil for the Termina Festival.

Lore

Based on the limited information available about August, it is apparent that he has embraced a nomadic lifestyle, traversing various countries – a tradition upheld by his ancestors for generations. Aiming to break this cycle, he took steps to ensure his two children's stability by having them reside with their mother in Valland. Despite his commitment to this change, August retains a connection to his heritage, as he possesses a quarter Oldegårdian lineage; his grandfather used to converse with him in their native language during his childhood.

However, the veracity of these details remains uncertain. August claims to be in Prehevil for business purposes, yet it becomes evident that his true motive for being in the town revolves around seeking the Kaiser. He also spied on his fellow contestants selected for the Festival of Termina, meticulously documenting their strengths, weaknesses, and perceived threats in a journal.

Personality

August is mysterious for much of the Festival, revealing little about his origins or intentions to others. He is very capable of defending himself, and will assist others when able to do so.

August has a grudge against the Kaiser, and will attack him if given the opportunity to do so. He also has a special bond with Moonless, and seems able to give her orders.

Location

• Day 1 Morning: Can be seen jumping over the gate to the city.
• Day 1 Evening: Can be seen Parkouring from roof to another roof, near Restaurant Bílý Vůl, in stairway area.
• Day 1 Night: Can be seen climbing on one of the pipes, to climb on top of the roof, in the city.
• Day 2 Morning: Can be found right below Kefer's shop. Head south of the gate and go left. A half-cocooned man will appear and August will kill him with his bow. You can speak to/attack him here before he leaves.
• Day 2 Evening: Can be seen parkouring in the back alleys, near the red pentagram.
• Can be found at the cave area of the Foundations of Decay after the boss fight with the Moonless beast. The player will be given a cloth fragment and 2 condensed blue after the interaction. If August is dead, the interaction will not happen, and Moonless will die.
• Day 3 Morning: Can be found at the forest ruins in the Deep Woods, shooting fecal hounds.
• Day 3 Evening: He can be found in the Deeper Woods, sitting next to the campfire at the end of the path with the Headless Hounds. If the player was able to witness the altercation between the Kaiser and Pav sometime during Day 1, they can warn August about seeing the Kaiser and reveal the location of the temple site. He will walk away while saying he has an urgent business to deal with.
• If Karin is in your party when you interact with August on Day 2, he will appear again in the western part of the Temple District on Day 3. Karin will pursue him and hold him at gunpoint, claiming she stole a journal from him which reveals his suspicious behavior. Depending on your actions, Karin will either impulsively shoot and kill August, or August will shoot her in self-defense, mortally wounding her unless she is given a light blue vial.
• If you were able to get to the bunker on day 1 (Morning, Evening, or Night), he will appear in the void room of the White Bunker, regardless if you said anything about the Kaiser, and you will witness August launching 3 green arrows at Kaiser's head, in an attempt to kill him; sadly like Pav, it fails and Kaiser will just instantly kill him. Afterwards he will turn the attention onto you, with his battle sprite changed to the 3 green arrows sticking out of his head.
  • After this Kaiser can now be blinded in his battle, although pointless.
• Day 3 Night: If he is still alive, the game will inform the player that August has died, and now can be found at his camp in Deeper Woods dead, with his throat slit. It is likely that he committed suicide in order to escape becoming moonscorched. Mind reading him while he is in his camp will reveal that he is conscious of the moon's gradual effect on him as well as his fear of succumbing to it.
  • If the player warned him about the sighting of Kaiser earlier, he will instead be encountered at the Hollow Tower next to Tanaka's corpse at this time. He says that he has finally decided to "partake in the festivities", and a fight will immediately commence.

Strategy

August can be a straightforward fight if the player has a decent amount of good equipment. Players should be still wary of his bow attacks, as they have a chance to start a coin flip move, which when failed will result in the protagonist getting decapitated and instantly killed. It is recommended for the party to focus on cutting his arms off.

  • Player: [PERSUADE] “This was all just a misunderstanding! I'm so sorry!”
    • August: “...” *Sigh* “How do you suppose we deal with this then?”
      • Player: “We both lower our weapons and move to our separate ways.”
        • August: “I'm not lowering anything as of now. Looks like we go a stalemate...” August looks to be thinking of his next move... (+Hesitation)
      • Player: “Just lower your bow first and then we can talk.”

      • Player: “I'll do whatever you want.”

No man can intimidate me at this point. But don't fret. I'm sure your voice might've had effect on me when I was still a wee lad.”

Trivia
