Duessa and Red Cross then rest under a pair of trees. Fradubio explains how he met a beautiful maiden, was enamored of her, and fought for her hand. Red Cross fails to understand the warning, and he and Duessa soon continue their journey. In the meantime, Una, left behind by Red Cross, wanders in a forest, searching for her knight. She there meets a lion, who decides to protect the maiden.
As night falls, Una and the lion seek shelter in the home of Abessa who is dumb and Corceca who is blind ; though they resist, the lion forces his way into their house.
Una and the lion depart the next morning, only to be approached by Archimago, disguised as Red Cross. The lion attacks Sansloy when Sansloy attempt to sexually assault Una, but Sansloy kills the lion and then forces Una onto his horse, and the two ride off into the forest. Red Cross is impressed at first by the lush palace and soon witnesses a formal procession of the Seven Deadly Sins, with Queen Lucifera the focus of the procession. Lucifera arranges a duel between the two men for the next day. The fight is treacherous, and both men are suffer great injuries.
Just as Red Cross is about to kill Sansjoy, a dark cloud covers and protects Sansjoy. Red Cross is carried back to the House of Pride, where he is treated for his wounds.
Thus warned, Red Cross, though weakened from his wounds, makes his escape from the House. Duessa, returning from Hades, discovers that Red Cross has departed. Meanwhile, Sansloy attempts to seduce and to rape Una in the woods, but he is scared off by a group of fauns and satyrs. Satyrane, a knight who is the son of a satyr father and a human mother, is visiting the woods when he meets Una, whom he helps to escape.
On their way out of the woods, the pair meet a pilgrim who tells them that he witnessed the death of Red Cross at the hands of another knight, and the pilgrim informs the pair where this knight can be found. Satyrane discovers Sansloy and challenges him, while Una, recognizing Sansloy as her adversary, escapes from the scene, followed by the pilgrim, who is actually Archimago in another of his many disguises.
As Una makes her escape, Duessa begins searching for Red Cross and discovers him next to a magic fountain whose waters, once drank, cause a loss of strength.
Orgoglio quickly overcomes the weakened Red Cross, but Duessa asks that his life be spared, and, in return, she agrees to become the mistress of the giant. On their way, they meet a brilliantly arrayed knight, whose armor includes a magic diamond shield with such great powers that it can turn men to stone and overthrow monsters; the shield is so powerful, in fact, that it must remain covered with cloth. Una explains her situation to the knight, who comforts her and agrees to help.
The knight, though unnamed, is the great Prince Arthur. Arthur, accompanied by his Squire, Una, and the Dwarf, approaches the castle, and the Squire blows a horn whose blast bursts open the castle doors. Orgoglio comes running out, along with Duessa riding a seven-headed beast, a gift from Orgoglio. Orgoglio and the beast are stunned by the light from the shield, thus allowing Arthur to kill both monsters.
Duessa attempts to escape but is restrained by the Squire. He opens another door and falls into a deep dungeon holding Red Cross, famished and distraught after months of imprisonment.
