I think I mentioned it at the beginning, but since it isn't possible to be level 1 at the final boss, I had to manually set my characters to level 1/50 in the game files. When you do that, even though it sets their base stats back to the level you input, it doesn't get rid of how much XP they have earned, so as soon as they do a single fight (in this case the final boss), the game registers that they already have enough XP to be a higher level (in this case my characters were all previously 99) and they immediately jump to that level.

Hey, sorry to bother you with this 5 month late comment but I wanted to ask you something since you appear to be quite the expert on Octopath Traveler II I have a challenge for you regarding Galdera if you want to try it: Can you beat Galdera... while revealing all his weaknesses? As in, leaving none of his weakpoints uncovered? This applies to both phasess, to all his parts, especially Galdera's blade in the second phase, which according to resources, has two sets of weaknesses? I ask this because I want to make a guide of sorts that have you uncover the weaknesses of every enemy in the game (or at least as much as possible), including bosses, and Galdera no doubt is a very big hurdle. And considering all the Galdera videos you did, I was thinking if you can do it, then it'd give me and others a guideline on how to do it ourselves If not, sorry to bug you, and very good videos.
@DarrinNewcomer5 ай бұрын
I'm not really against the idea, but as far as I know, the blade only has 1 set of weaknesses, although his main body is phase 2 has 3 different sets. Where are you seeing it say the blade has multiple sets of weaknesses?

@DarrinNewcomer5 ай бұрын
So I can't know for sure without seeing your fight, but if it's doing roughly half as much damage and you are using the exact gear/support skills as I am, it sounds like you either don't have an elemental attack buff on Osvald or don't have an elemental defense down on the boss (or the boss isn't broken, but I'm assuming that isn't the case).

@Chewythebigblackdog6 ай бұрын
This is pretty cool. I took inspiration from this and decided to do something similar myself, but the goal was to make the strategy not rely on turn order RNG, and to avoid using level 99 characters (I went with level 80 in the end, since that's around the highest point I'd consider realistic to grind to) while still doing each phase in "1 turn" (2 if you count step ahead). I couldn't make it entirely consistent, since ochette still needs to land a defence drop, just like in this strat. I did need THREE battle-tested blades to do it lol (though no duplicates of anything else). I also avoided nut farming, but I'd imagine this strategy did as well. Here's a general gist of what I did in each phase (I've uploaded a full fight to my channel in case anyone wants to see it in action): Phase 1 (Armsmaster Ochette, Cleric Throne, Castti, Cleric Partitio) On turn 0, I applied aelfric's to both throne and ochette, and (since aelfric's turn order is consistent) had throne kill all souls while unbroken and undebuffed with aeber's before having ochette break and debuff the eye with provoke beasts (I also applied a crit buff to guarantee I can critical hit the eye). On turn 1, I had castti refill BP (and heal to re-activate peak performance) with concoct (she went first via a defend), partitio apply aelfric's to castti, throne use disguise to copy ochette, then the two of them spammed lionheart's axe to kill the eye. Phase 2 (Arcanist Hikari, Cleric Agnea, Conjurer Temenos, didn't actually need a 4th character lol) Turn 0, Agnea buffs hikari with attack up, hikari (1 hp alpione's) uses hienka to guarantee he acts after being buffed, then OHKOs limbs w/ sentencing gavel. On turn 1, I refill hikari's BP, use aelfric's twice to ensure I get 2 actions once he becomes vulnerable, then apply an ancient cursed talisman before OHKOing with Limb from Limb. Note that at level 80 with maxed p.atk, limb from limb actually is around 2k damage short of the kill if all 4 hits roll minimum damage. To remedy this, I had temenos apply fire enchant to hikari on turn 0, and gave hikari as many magic nuts as possible (and used scorched bone spear + mooneater for extra fire damage).

There are various NPC’s (one for each piece of battle tested gear) that you can fight that have a very low chance of dropping multiple battle tested gear.

It’s the “young man” npc that is shown as having a maxed difficulty when you try to duel him.

How do you get your attack stats up to 999?
@DarrinNewcomer7 ай бұрын
There’s a few things you can do for that. A lot of your attack stats come from weapons, and the battle tested blade gives 400 by itself. There are also the physical attack nuts that give permanent bonuses to that stat, which I happened to use way too many of on Hikari (he doesn’t need much to get to 999 p attack). You can also use the bodyguards vantage shield for another 60 and/or the support skill that gives another 50. There is also the champions belt which gives 100 (can equip two of them to have 200), or 150 if you use enhanced accessories support skill (300 if wearing two).

@DarrinNewcomer7 ай бұрын
Which stats are higher, and which buffs are you specifically referring to? My assumption based on what you said is that you might not be considering that Aeber’s scales in power off both speed and physical attack rather than just a single stat. Even if you might have higher speed, if my Throne has much higher physical attack than you, it will hit harder. Additionally, you need both a physical attack and speed buff to get the full effects like this.
@criskiryuu80387 ай бұрын
My atk and speed it’s higher than yours in the video , I have the same equipment and by buff / debuff I meant that the eye has defense/elemental defense down and throne has attack up due to castti latent power.

It is just impossible for me to tell everyone how much I love this game. The characters stories, music (everything is fucking phenomenal). This game is my game of the year, and it plus persona 5 royal probably saved me from a time when my life was probably at its worst. If you are considering getting octopath 2, and like JRPG’s, please play this game. It’s worth the entire $60 price tag. I’m going to buy the first one after this now. This game is a work of art. The Voice actors are insane. Alajandro Saab did a next level job as Osvald (he’s probably my favorite character), and I just can’t get over everything. All of the stories were amazing, and I loved Agnea’s story. I love this game so much man. All of the character themes are next level, the character development during the stories, the final bosses for each story was super cool, and the depth of the characters was amazing. I absolutely adore this game. The final boss was also phenomenal with everything coming together and taking down vide was amazing. I love this game to death. Also a difficulty slider would’ve been nice for the later bosses since my main team was so over leveled and the story oriented character was a little under leveled. Also the final boss is so cool. The unique dialogue, and the full boost quotes are amazing. “There is hope for tomorrow!” “Light will prevail!” Oh and my favorite “THIS IS THE FINAL ANSWER!” I loved the special quotes. It made it that more impactful. Also I have yet to beat Galdera, but I’m going to put some more effort into it, and try to platinum the game on my ps4. Also, I would 100% buy a dlc for more secret bosses or more bosses in general. They all had really cool mechanics, and I loved them.
@blitzboy29348 ай бұрын
Also I loved all of the story bosses. Osvald’s story as a whole was probably my favorite. His development in the party, and his interactions with partitio in his crossed paths thing was great. Osvald had my favorite story chapters, and his theme is phenomenal. Hearing it when fighting Harvey and being able to nuke him from existence with the One True Magic lll, alongside his killer quote with it (I find myself saying it with him when I use it). Also I’m still upset that Crick got killed in Temenos’s Stormhail route, but I saw it coming. I love this game so damn much. Also what you said about the story reasons for Crick dying made sense. It made me feel awful, and made me want to kill whoever did it. It made sense story wise!
