Rancoeur and Amertume are a group of Sadnesses in In Stars and Time.
Odile: One strengthens our enemies, the other weakens us...
Mirabelle: It'll be bad if we let them do as they please!
Odile: Isabeau, you have a few similar Crafts at your disposal, so...
Isabeau: I'm on it! Just keep attacking, and I'll buff you guys up!
Rancoeur has an upside-down cone shape, with diagonal dark grey stripes, and a black triangle starting from its base. It has two eyes placed vertically, with its lower one crying; two feet come from its black underside, and two floating hands on each side display Scissors signs. It's surrounded by small tears.
Amertume has a large cylinder shape, that grows bigger towards its bottom, covered with diagonal dark grey stripes and a black triangle coming from its top; both of its eyes are closed, and its right one is seen crying. Two light grey hands, coming from each of its sides, display Rock signs, and two legs and feet come out of its black underside. It's surrounded by tears.

Due to its Scissors typing, Rancoeur is generally easier to defeat early on, as most party members deal neutral damage to it, whereas Amertume resists both Siffrin's and Mirabelle's attacks. However, once Odile obtains the Paper α V skill, Amertume can be easily dealt with, especially if Odile receives an attack buff from Isabeau.
Isabeau is extremely valuable when fighting this group of enemies because he can counteract the Rancoeur's buffs and Amertume's debuffs. Memory of Reflection is not worth equipping, because its defense buff is negated in Amertume's first turn.
Rancoeur and Amertume possess identical stats, leaving which one to deal with first up to player preference.
