Path Actions / Utility – 2
Octopath Traveler…?
- Brought along four townspeople at once.
To get this achievement, you need to have all 4 Travelers that have a recruitment path action (Partitio – Hire, Ochette – Befriend, Temenos – Guide, and Agnea – Allure) and then recruit 4 townspeople so you have an 8-person goon squad half-consisting of NPCs.
If you’re like me and you chose booba aesthetic over purpose/achievements, you won’t be able to complete this achievement until you conclude your protagonist’s story and swap them out.
100 Out Cold
- Soothed or knocked 100 townspeople unconscious.
Informed Adventurer
- Gleaned information from 100 townspeople.
Whenever you use any of the information-gathering path actions, it will count towards this achievement as long as something pops up at the bottom of the information box. Sometimes it’s a Key Item required for progression, Flavor Text, a Hidden Item, or even a buff for that area.
Some buffs include:
- Higher Guide success rate
- Shop/Inn Discounts
- Weaker NPC battles (Mug, Provoke, etc)
There’s more than enough info to go around so don’t stress too much about this one.
Combat
First Break
- Broke an enemy for the first time in battle.
This will probably be one of the first achievements you get. To break an enemy, simply take down their armor points (the number inside the blue shield icon) by hitting them with their attack-type vulnerabilities.
Max Boost
Acted at maximum boost for the first time.
You need 3 points of BP to act at maximum boost (3 boost levels).
Exploration
WIP..
Character Progression
A New Skill
- Learned a skill for the first time.
Self-explanatory. You earn JP to learn skills by completing battles. Some skills, such as Partitio’s Arrow of Fortune, help you gain JP faster.
Completionist – 2
Record Collector
- Obtained all records.
A Story All Your Own
- Unlocked all trophies.
-Walkthrough Starts Here-
For this next half of the guide, I’ll just add rough walkthroughs for each character’s chapters. I’ll mention interesting upgrades (equipment or otherwise) and how I approached the chapter’s boss. Please note there will be many different ways to approach this game and mine may not be more helpful than what you or other guides suggest.
For most Chapter 2+ content, I will go with the assumption that you have already recruited all 8 Travelers available for maximum flexibility.
Throné
Chapter 1
Chapter 2A – Mother’s Route
Change the time of day if you are unable to interact/steal:
- Steal the Horse Coin
- Steal the Mark
Drink from the right cup.
It’s fine even if you mess up. The last checkpoint is at the same choice.
Chapter 2B – Father’s Route
- Winterbloom has a couple of strong Bows, Hatchets and Shields you can steal easily to upgrade your team. I recommend bringing at least 2 characters that use Hatchets to take advantage of the upgrades.
- I brought along Ochette since just west of Winterbloom features a lot of great upgrades to her Beast Lore in the form of AoE coverage.
Ambush the guard. As usual, change the time of day if necessary.
In the Snowhare Hideout, IMMEDIATELY replace Ochette’s Shambling Weed with an Ivory Eel. It will grant you the Spiritsucker Beast Lore. Spiritsucker is an AoE Dagger attack that also gives your entire party a buff that recharges 6 SP after your character completes an action. It’s only 6 SP per recharge but at this point in the game, it’s basically UNLIMITED skill spam until each level.
The boss for this area is vulnerable to Sword and Bow attacks. If you are bringing any recruiters as part of your team, I recommend bringing a summon that has Sword/Bow attacks to help with Phase 2. His 2 goons are vulnerable to Daggers. You won’t be able to break the boss until his goons are dead. Hikari and his Latent Powers are great here to (a) break the boss with Aggressive Slash and (b) heavily damage the boss during break status with Tenretsuzan.
At some point, the boss activates a move that doubles his armor points from 4 to 8 and adds 2 more vulnerabilities (one of them being Dagger). Remember to keep up healing, debuff the boss (if applicable), and inflict poison periodically. Break him once you have enough Boost Points on your Travelers to deal extreme damage and finish the job.
Temenos
CH1 Placeholder
Chapter 2
This chapter will lead you to some light detective work culminating in the interrogation of some suspects at the Tavern. The suspects are weak to Light and Staff attacks. Afterward, you’ll be doing some light cardio leading into a very easy boss battle.
- Boss Weakness: Spear, Dagger, Ice, ???
This fight should be quick and painless provided you have the type coverage. I personally equipped Temenos with the Scholar secondary job to use Elemental Barrage to check for weaknesses. Not much else to note.
Throné & Temenos – Crossed Path
The Cleric & Thief, Part 1
NOTE: This unlocks after completing both Throné and Temenos’ 2nd chapter.
Take a moment to appreciate the lovely music as this chapter begins.
Seeing a doubter and a liar working together… something tells me this’ll be a good adventure! Begin by coercing (weak to Staff) and then subsequently guiding the old man to the Cathedral. Once you part with the old man, head to the back room in the immediate area and cross over the beams to reach the next objective.
After a confusing encounter, we end with a touching flashback. Do you hope for the dawn?
Ochette
Chapter 1
The events leading up to saving the Lost Girl are straightforward.
Beast Lore Suggestions:
- Island Froggen II (the one with 2 points on their armor)
- Shambling Weed (Beastwarden area BEFORE meeting the Lost Girl)
Island Froggen II is great for 2-turning the enemies that appear after you save the Lost Girl because it lets you earn extra Leaves and EXP (Untouched + Break bonus) by just spamming provoke at no SP cost.
Shambling Weed is great for self-sufficient healing in this chapter. It heals for 100 HP + 100 more for every boost point consumed.
After saving the Lost Girl, you temporarily get a summon every battle that heals for 50 HP each turn. This is only available until you reach the village.
On the way back to the village you can farm the untamable monsters by 2-turning them using the suggested Island Froggen II. Just use a 2x Boosted Island Froggen II after they are all simultaneously broken. During this small period, you can earn more than enough money without taking any damage. I used that money to buy a Buckler, Fur Armor, and a Handaxe for the boss battle.
BOSS PLACEHOLDER
Chapter 2 – Cateracta’s Route
Early on in the chapter you’ll get into a solo provoke battle. There’s not much point in listing the weaknesses since you can just spam Mahina. Use her again with maximum boost once the enemy is broken.
There are no encounters when you take the boat. There are also no chests on the side as well so you can just go straight to the objective.
Continue on the series of linear scenes and prompts for both sad and eggciting news.
Castti
CH1 Placeholder
Chapter 2 – Sai Route
This chapter is more of a huge revelation for Castti’s story so the events leading up to the end of the chapter are very straightforward.
While this chapter’s boss has no minions, it has a lot of HP and an increasing amount of armor (3 phases) which goes all the way up to 9 points. Once it’s at 9 armor points, that means it is nearing death. Additionally, there is an extra mechanic where the boss will trap 1-2 of your characters in quicksand. You have to break the boss to release your team. Learning Boost-Start passive from the Merchant secondary job on all of your characters will go a long way to ensure you land extra hatchet/spear hits during the quicksand phases.
- Boss Weakness: Spear, Hatchet, Ice, ???, Dark
Castti & Ochette – Crossed Path
The Apothecary & Hunter, Part 1
NOTE: This part unlocks after completing Chapter 2 – Sai Path and Chapter 2 – Cateracta’s Route
The forest path can be reached by boat. North, then East at the fork, then across the river.
Follow along for an easy battle against a Duorduor (Weakness: Sword). Not much else after this battle except for a short stroll in the forest, more cutscenes, and a new friend. ♪ ♪
Agnea
CH1 Placeholder
Chapter 2
After the scene at the Theater gate, change the time of day if you can’t see the next objective.
Apparently, dreams taste like beans.
At some point, you’ll need to use Agnea’s Allure path action. If your Agnea is under-leveled like mine, this may take a few extra tries with the assistance of the save point. Just reload as needed if you want to avoid the 5k Leaf fee for restoring your reputation. Don’t worry about losing any current Allured companion in case you started the chapter with a good one. The game specifies that they return after the objective.
You can start the performance early, or continue to Allure more townspeople. I chose the latter until the last person and got an Empowering Lychee (M) for my efforts.
The next bit is straightforward up until the chapter’s boss battle.
- Boss Weakness: Spear, Dagger, Fire, ???, Dark
- Minions: Dagger, Hatchet
The last 3 weaknesses of the boss are locked until the minions go down. Moves like Dancing Dagger and the Spiritsucker from the Ivory Eel Beast Lore work great here. I personally used Agnea with the Thief secondary job, Ochette for Spiritsucker, Castti, and Throné. Cast AoE dagger attacks until it’s just the boss left and then unload your heavy-hitting single-target skills when broken. Use HP Thief when the boss is alone to break him again. Very easy fight.
Hikari
CH1 Placeholder
Chapter 2
The first objective is just around a staircase beside the Eastern bridge.
Soon after you’ll have to challenge an arena gladiator. He’s super weak with just ~1400 HP. Head on over to your new playground place of employment. To progress the chapter, head to the same arena from before and complete the new series of challenges—Corneo Colosseum style.Bring the following attack types
- Match 1: Sword and Spear
- Match 2: Sword and Lightning (Vengeful Blade and Blinding Flash for an easy win)
NOTE: Learn the skill Slowing Sweep after the match It’s good for single-boss battles. - Match 3…!?
Looks like the match is postponed, but thankfully we can just run straight in to start! But wait, why is he so small, unlike every other boss we’ve faced so far??
- Match 3: Spear, ???, ???, ???, ???
I personally didn’t get a chance to see all of his weaknesses, but spear moves like the one we learned from Zeto the Butcher will help. I recommend the Hunter secondary job for Hikari.
He hits hard, but Blinding Flash should help with that. I strongly suggest keeping your health up at all times. Looks like our friend has a bit more in thank! Time for the REAL boss battle!
- Boss Weakness PHASE 1: Dagger and Fire
- PHASE 2: Spear, Hatchet, and Light
- PHASE 3 (if applicable): Spear, Dagger Hatchet, Fire, and Light
The boss will have strong AoE’s so keep Blinding Flash up as much as possible. The gimmick of this fight is that the boss will lock some of his weaknesses for the first 2 phases. After that, it’s just a matter of pummeling him while he’s broken. Employ attacks such as HP Thief and boosted regular attacks (thanks to Boost-Start) to make short work of his armor/shield.
Agnea & Hikari – Crossed Path
The Dancer & Warrior, Part 1
NOTE: This unlocks after completing both Agnea and Hikari’s 2nd chapter. The recommended level is 8 so don’t expect anything crazy here.
Very short and contained chapter/part. Everything happens in Ryu.
I honestly thought they were gonna get scammed!!
Osvald – Octopath Traveler 2 Achievements Guide 100%
CH1 Placeholder
CH2 Placeholder
Chapter 3
Shortly after setting foot in Conning Creek, we end up reminiscing at the ruins of Osvald’s home and investigating his study. In the process, we get to beat up an old lady his former assistant.
- Boss Weakness: Spear, Dagger, Lightning
Nothing noteworthy about this pseudo-boss. Just pummel her with multi-hit Dagger and Spear skills. Our investigation leads us to the Guard Captain’s house and the eventual boss of the chapter—Stenvald. Just like the previous boss, there’s nothing special about this one. If you’ve been doing the story chapters in the order of lowest to highest level requirement, you will most likely be over-leveled for this chapter. You may not even need a healer. Blind the boss if you need to, otherwise, just break his minions and finish them off with strong AoE attacks to release the lock on the boss’ weaknesses.
- Boss Weakness: Spear, Dagger, Lightning
- Minion Weakness: Hatchet, ???, Fire, ???
A fully boosted Hired Help -> Mercenary is an excellent way to break the boss.
Does an oath to the dead hold any meaning?
Partitio
The Scent of Commerce: Tropu’hopu Route
- Head to Tropu’hopu Shipyard on the Northeast corner of Toto’haha Island
- A cutscene starts as soon as you enter.
- Go to Tropu’hopu village and recruit a villager with the Gator Tears Merchant Talent ( 5% chance to get 50% off purchases). It notifies you if the talent took effect.
- Save and reload until you manage to buy the ship at a 50% discount (if you want to).
The Scent of Commerce: Sai Route
Fast travel to Sai and up a hill on the East side to find a cart and a house. 2 cutscenes will occur along the way and upon interacting with the door. The merchant seems annoyed by our request, but thanks to Partitio’s insistence, he sends us on a test. Simply talk to the residents in the area and one of them will stand out in particular—Masoud’s Daughter. Extract information from her, and then switch to nighttime so you can hire her and lead her back to the merchant. What a bad father!!
Looks like the girl’s initial dialogue was correct! Head back to the merchant and hire him. This will finish the quest and give you permanent access to his records—The Mercantile Manuscript.
CH1 Placeholder
Chapter 2
Straightforward chapter overall. After going from task to task, you’ll get to explore the factory which leads you to the chapter’s boss. Cute!
- Boss Weakness: Spear, ???, Fire, Lightning
Put Hikari on Blinding Flash duty while the rest of your team builds up their BP. If you are using any Scholars, a boosted Elemental Barrage is a viable option to break the boss. If you don’t have multi-hit spear skills on Hikari, stick to debuffs until the boss is broken. By then he’ll have his chance to bask in the sunlight with a fully boosted Aggressive Slash. NOTE: I ended up finding a good multi-hit spear skill called Spearfishing at Conning Creek (3-5 random hits at all levels). Unfortunately, it was after I already completed this boss battle.
Osvald & Partitio – Crossed Path
The Scholar & Merchant, Part 1
This unlocks after completing both Osvald and Partitio’s 2nd chapter.
This part is essentially a very short fetch quest for a scholar with astronomical dreams.
