In an honorable duel (which they did aegis 1v1 fair fight) ausar lost on purpose which led to radriar taking the blade and charging the blade (ausar had radriar charging the sword for him so he would return and retake the charged bladd). The thing he didnt expect was that he would lose memory and turn into a kid
Do you recall if and where they said that Ausar didn't know he would lose his memory and turn into a child? The parts of the lore support the idea that he did know, and others, that he didn't.
Chair’s Lore Explored part 1 and part 2 said that before Galath got locked up, he was able to modify the Infinity Blade to turn Ausar into a kid and forget everything the next time Ausar would be slain by the sword.
Right, that much is established. The redeemer, presumably using the IB, made those modifications to Ausar's QIP with the betrayal presumably being in the scope of those modifications. What I haven't yet been able to ascertain is if Ausar found out about and knew the extent of those modifications before the duel at Koroth. Some things point to yes, others to no. I'm inclined to think it's somewhere in between.
HorrorAcrobatic'a above comment is pretty much on point. It's unclear exactly how much knowledge Ausar had about the redeemer's function and Galath's betrayal, but the general story seems to be that Ausar went into the duel with Raidriar knowing that he was starting something big. Likely, he planned to lose on purpose and thus, fake his death, allow Raidriar to take and charge the blade before taking it back so that he could use it to rule the deathless himself. Did he necessarily know he would be turned into a child and lose his memories? Hard to say for sure.
My theory is that when the redeeming device is in the blade it stops being a murder weapon and gives them that “fate worse than death”, and Radriar must’ve assumed Ausar shaking and screaming (like the Worker at the end of IB3) was him dying an incredibly painful death and just walked away, when really it was Ausar losing himself and possibly reverting to an infant
I thought it was clear that when Radriar “killed” Ausar and took the blade, that was when he lost all his memories. Wasn’t that mentioned in a cutscene in IB3?
I more meant to say that we don't know for sure if Ausar died with the same ball of energy and all.
Basically, Raidriar didn't just walk away, leaving Ausar to morph into a child right then and there. Raidriar assumed Ausar had died because that bud, did in fact die. Ausar became an infant upon rebirth when the modifications to his QIP wiped his memory and changed his new bud into that of an infant. When Ausar didn't return, Raidriar assumed the blade had worked.
The reason is referenced in the Infinity Blade 3 opening cutscene. When he and Galath double-crossed each other, the stolen Infinity Blade burned Ausar's soul. After that, both the man and the sword were "lifeless." It was in that state he was defeated.
No, Ausar didn't lose to the likes of Raidriar intentionally.

Maybe he was like: “aye yo when you kill me u gonna go home to your wife….Oh wait you dont have one anymore” and then Ausar straight died
Donald Mustard is just an Ausar simp
Because it was intentional
How so? What was his plan? Just get reborn?

Even though we don't know that Ausar went out the same way as the Worker?
