Octopath Traveler - Postgame Dungeon Cleared! (Builds + Strategy) 

Maybe I'm dumb, but I never knew that OCTOPATH is an acronym for all of their names...

"oppression is okay"

Wow I can’t believe I’m just realizing each characters first letter in their name spells OCTOPATH. I’m mind blown haha

me seeing the octopath acronym: WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT IT'S TOO EARLY FOR THIS MAN IM NOT READY

I just want to say a thank you from the deepest pet of my heart. I tried and tried against this boss to the point to where I felt like this was going to hang over me for a while. Your guide was the easiest to follow and the most concise. Thank you for being able to get closure for this game. You are awesome!!

Played through this game as Octopath 2 was announced. Can't believe i slept on it for so long. Many thanks for this video mate as there would be no way I'd have the patience or time to attempt this blind over and over again with that boss gauntlet at the start. To anyone reading, don't sleep on the skill patience and equip it to anyone not dealing damage. Saved me big time in the last phase of the fight.

Two tips to make the fight significantly easier (And this video made a good example in dealing the following 2 situations): In phase 1, try to kill off all souls at once. If you kill one of them first the eye will just summon a new one and keep being invincible. In the second phase, break Galdera AT ALL COST right after killing all body parts. Galdera's first move after all minions being removed will be Banish Souls, which reduces party's HP to 1 and removes all BPs. But if you break it before this move, you get 5 free BPs for each member. This is an all or nothing situation. Don't waste time buffing or healing while you have the chance to break.

Finally, beat the boss after 3 attempts! Thank you for this guide! Phase 2 is a pain. Definitely had luck on my side. LET'S GO OCTOPATH TRAVELER 2!!!!!!!!!!

It took me a pretty hard 1.5 days to get through Phase 1 and was completely unable to get through Phase 2. I watched a lot of youtubers, but finally found you. Your team is almost the same as mine. So I just installed the same Passive Skills as you. And you know what? My team's strength increased 3.5 times. Great, excellent, wonderfull. It took me the first time to get used to the new skill set. And the 2nd time is easy to pass Phase 2 (Now Phase 1 is too easy). I really thank you very much. Respect, Like and Subcrise for you. (I used Google Translate, sorry for my english)

Nn Li out of context 2018: "Oppression, that's fine. Oppression is okay."

After 5 attempts and many hours of grinding, I finally beat Galdera thanks to your video. Second phase took an extra turn to deal damage for some reason and everything started going to hell until I could get off a charity and go back to spamming Jams.

Although this game is far from perfect... it has a very sumber feeling to it that i frakking love.

I love how I used to think my Therion was doing high damage (he was my main) when he was hitting the 23k or so and i see your Haanit just doing casually 60k

I know I’m coming a little bit late, but your tips where VERY useful. I failed 3 times before I managed to beat this boss but it was worth it. Thank you my friend 👍

I’ll have to come back to this when I’ve beaten the game myself. I’m only just now starting the chapter 3s.

A more reliable way to farm rev jam that I found was to go to wellspring and repeatedly challenge Erhardt. I find he drops them pretty liberally.

Thank you so much for these series of videos. I’m not very experienced with RPGs and these builds really helped me with the final boss(which I attempted like 10 times and not even coming close to the second phase). After watching I beat him on the first try. Subbing to you and looking forward to future videos. Thanks again brother and keep up the good work.

I had to see how far you lvld up hannit. So I went back to the damn maw of the ice dragon. I found the caits, and after much avail I had to get everyone at good enough lvl. My lord. Don’t even step if hannit isn’t even near lvl 75 everyone. Manny thanks! You made the eye a cruise, but still had to hope the dice were rolled in my favor to beat the second portion. (Just got obliterated first couple times battling it/him?..) How many ppl went in there and realized they didn’t equip jobs,skills,weapons, and armor to your secondary party. Nothing like spending a solid 45 minutes beating the eye to see hannit in her hunters garb with no weapons equipped in the second half....thanks again, and a big shout out to bewildering grace that had half my party at lv 70 at chapter two lol.

4th try and beaten! Thanks for this vid!

I tried again and again to find a guide to the final fight that showed the entire thing and was easy for me to understand and yours was it! Thank you so much for all the time you put into this and your endgame build guide video, it certainly paid off for me!

I'd love to see one on the post game diary you get telling how everything is connected, I am not going to have time to go through the post game with back to school upon us .I'm starting chapter 3s and that and chapter 4s will be all I can do if I even get the 4s done

tried once, but failed on 2nd phase, then followed this strategy. 1-hp H'aanit is too OP :D

Here to say thanks this vid worked! I just beat him today, but I did some things different. I had Olberic as the Warmaster and hannit as the apothecary. Also put hang tough on everyone but Olberic, along with saving grace so we could survive the first round of phase 2 easier.

I just did this strategy and I Beat him! Oh thank god it's over. Props for is wonderful planning

it is so unnecessary for you to have to beat the 8 bosses again just to fight the boss. it is a massive waste of time. This would be like losing to wily in a megaman game and having to start back at the boss rush again. I still can't beat this boss. Even at my level, the first form did 4k damage with its explosion attack. Those adds also have way way too much HP. You think a boosted magic attack would kill in one shot but nope. they start poisoning you, crazy magic attacks and then the eye starts buffing them or it uses that orb attack to ohko my party members. I need a way to farm some of the BP recovery items.

Thanks for the help. 4 years later I'm beating this for the 2nd time on xbox. Goat 🐐

I NEVER KNEW THE CHAR NAMES WERE OCTOPATH WAT

"It must be done." LOL thank you for the guides, set ups, and strats.

April 13th 2021 I finally finished the game! Thank you so much for the guides!!

Btw my phase 1 was Cyrus Sorcerer (using elemental break and spamming Lux while under Primrose's divine cleric buff), Therion Hunter (using his dagger to break the eye and using armor corrosive and his ult for 30k aoe damage), Primrose Cleric (spamming Aelferic's mostly and using peacock on Cyrus), Haniit Apothecary (spamming dothery's charity and using revitalizing jams on team). My second phase was a 1 hp Alfyn Warmaster (waiting paitently for his chance to use his wombo combo), Oberic Thief (using incite first turn, saving Alfyn's ass until he gets his turn, then breaking galdera on the second turn with the multiple spear attack warrior ability), Ophelia Starseer (basically just using pomegranate L and her spear to break galdera), Tressa Runelord (also just using pomegranate L and using spear to break galdera in second turn). On the third turn it was over. GG!

I have the same Built with Haanit as Warmaster. I can go thru the 8 bosses pretty fast but for some reason I can't deal with Galdera! Too hard. I do have a similar party setup, levels and stats. So, from all the strategies I've done I think I can use yours to finally defeat this hard boss! I still love this game so much tho! It just saddens me that I can't finish it properly by defeating this boss!

For some reason I can't see any comments although it says there are 25 comments at the top. Tried closing the browser and opening again but no luck. Also if you want to skip to the build I believe it starts at 12:18 .

Managed to beat son of a B. a few minutes ago. I know what you mean by: "ranging from unfair to easy." The second form almost insta-killed me with a 3-hit lightning strike, doing about 4k damage. If you don't have the right party setup, you're gonna have a bad time... The spurning ribbon....well, it would have been awesome if you could have used it in a new game+ or something. Visiting all end game areas with your lvl 5 party without having to worry about random encounters and getting all the loot :)

From watching OhRichard, i learned that you can just remove your armor and lose a provoke duel and you'll always end up with 1hp

Years late but thanks for the strategy. Beat it on my 2nd try. Failed the first time because I forgot that I wasn't supposed to be trying to the Dohter's Charity + Revitalizing Jam combo in the 2nd phase. On the second try, Galdera nuked my party with the ice attack on the first turn so I spent a few turns trying to recover from that but eventually managed to scrape together a few attacks from Olberic which ended the game.

Just spent two hours killing all the bosses. I went up the stairs to fight the final one and I had to make two parties. I had absolutely no idea what to do. To kill the 8 bosses I used: Cyrus-sorceror H'aanit-warmaster Tressa-runelord Alfyn-dancer This team was working amazing because I had Cyrus and h'aanit kill everything, Alfyn max out everyone's BP and heal everyone and I had tressa using all her runes to make us invincible and make h'aanits physical attacks even stronger. I thought I would just do this for the last battle as well. However I had to make a 2nd team. Yay. I had absolutely no plan whatsoever for the other 4. I thought I would make Olberic,prim,therion and Ophilia do the "easier" part, then I got completely destroyed. I grinded to make my original team amazing and I sort of just left the other 4. I'm kinda mad but all I can do is laugh.

Thank you for this video... after 2 attempts i finally did it!

There are 19,958,400 builds using the 8 characters and 12 jobs in a 4 member party. If you include the number of support skills the number is astronomical.

took me 5 times to finally beat Galdera. Followed the strategy and I would further recommend grinding Hannit until at least level 78.

1:50 When surpasing power is just not enough.

Thanks for the great strat man :) worked like a charm !

Finally managed to defeat the boss today!

where are the builds ?

Literally just beat the final boss just now. Holy shit, Galdera kicked my ass 5 times. So party setup. First phase party: Hunter Olberic, Cleric Primrose, Merchant Therion, Sorcerer Cyrus Second phase party: Warmaster H'aanit, Starseer Ophilia, Thief Tressa, Dancer Alfyn. Alfric's auspice on Cyrus for first phase for all your breaking/damage needs and also Hunter Olberic is necessary for breaking top soul. Keep party up and keep bp and buffs running on cyrus and phase 1 is easy. (Also thunder resist amulets are really good) Phase 2 I just gave bp to H'aanit and buffed her for her divine. And I spammed it a few times to one shot the adds. Make sure you get buffs/debuffs off for H'aanit from Alfyn/Tressa then they can probably die, although having their bodies to soak meteor storm is nice. Ophelia and H'aanit are the main ones that need to be up. (Also, fire resistance amulets are ridiculous for the meteor storms.) Fun fight, hope to optimize it to make it safer overally

Your guide really helps because I've lost all will to play this game...

Had no trouble with the first phase, but got to the second phase, Olberic went first so I didn't get the chance to set up Winnhild and then the boss one shot my entire level 65 party before anyone else even got to move. All of my characters had full HP well above 3,000, Olberic had 5,000, with average 750 or so in both defense categories. Insane.

I had a similar build to yours for the second battle with galdera, but after my first turn wombo combo with wilhelm's I got hit with a 1 hp 0 bp move as the first move by galdera on the second turn, and was completely screwed from there XD

How the heck do you get that much damage from haanit? I'm level 70 and can't get that much with that job class? What am I doing wrong

Do you know have a list of the equipment you had on each member, and skills

:/ I just realize today that the stats on weapons only work on the last one you've used to do basic attack in battle. I was happily stacking evasion on every weapon for Therion...

Thanks for this video! Fully copied your strategy after failing 5 times in a row on the final boss. XD

everytime i think the amount of damage i did to this boss is absurd, you somehow do 5x as much XD. never thought about using a danger mario strat for this. I just used the transfer rune/sidetep and scrambled to heal everyone up when he used the heartless angel attack or debuffed my entire party. But somehow, i managed to beat the second phase on my very first try against it.

Great video and great strategy i'm definately gonna try this. If you could only tell us which skills you used for Olberic and Primerose it would be great cause you didn't show it in the video. Thx!

Just wanted to say thank you for this video. I got demolished by the final boss about 6 times. 1 Hp Fortitude H'annit made me beat the phase 2 boss in 3 turns.

thank you so much. so helpfull!

I gave up!!!! Screw this final battle!!!!! It's so stupid that they made it hard!!!! I almost broke my switch!!!! Fuck this final stupid boss!

Not sure if you'll see this but do you have an equipment and skill breakdown for everyone in this?

Just gave this a try for the first time.... oh boy... I think my mistake was actually going for the weaknesses of those adds. Fought this thing for about 30 mins., I maybe did around 300k dmg to it. Then one of those things exploded and did around 8k dmg, killing my entire party..... Then I was like: "Fck u game!" XD But seriously, doing this whole gauntlet over again is very annoying. Seems the divine skills of cleric and apothecary are a necessity here

Can u please show your haanit support skill and equipments? Thank u

Thanks for the strategy guide, really precious. Why didn’t you show the full equipment of all your chars? I’d like to have a sneak peek :P

I used this same setup to for the second part of the fight with Warmaster H'annit, the other 3 characters were way under leveled for this( 1 was 50 other 2 were in the 30s) and just used support items to get her in range for damage.

Galdera killed everyone in my party on the 1st phase before I could do literally anything

OMG, OMG, OMG I was finally able to BEAT HIM!!!! YEEEEEES!!

Thank for your tips. i wachted all of them. i just beated final boss today with haanit 1hp. i failed 5 times before. Anyways, good game. P/s: i like your voice xD

In the first phase of the Galdera fight, you mentioned that only Cyrus can break ele Def. Not true. Alfyn could have concocted a ruinous seed with plum to break the bosses ele def.

Final boss: "Untouched" Mate.

I finally fucking did!! Thank you man! I Finally beat the game, thanks to you! Subscribed!!

i'm sure i probably missed this explanation in an earlier video but why H'aanit over Olberic as ur brute-force damage dealer?

So ya, this game needs a new game plus. I’m level 60 by the time I unlocked this and there’s no way I’m just gonna farm 20 levels more. Oh well, I will play vicariously through RU-vid. GG y’all

Thank god for you.

I hate how there was no save point before you face off against the big bad, having to go through all eight mini bosses to get another chance. Dreadful choice whoever chose to do that for this part.

thanks for the vid lol was trying other ways but found this the easiest. thank god cover saved my ass from losing again

Where are the exact builds? And how do you prevent leveling up between boss fights?

for so long i was wtf is this ever gonna heal hannit? what a cheeky bastard lol

I just beat the first form of the boss. If you can get light rune on everybody especially Cyrus he will smoke this boss even faster with elemental break plus bright pursuit. I was doing over 100,000 damage with elemental break + bright pursuit with auspices.

Nice guide! Thank you very much =)

Weird... I thought you would want H'annit and Olberic leading separate groups since there both big physical DPS with Olberic more so a Tank.

The days before we realized Therion Warlock is best

what skills you using on the 2nd party?

3 times - First H'aanit was too fast and acted first, 2nd I changed some itens and the damage was not good enough... 3rd time was the charm! Just something: I choose Thief as Primrose 2nd job so she was able to lower the armor (it can helps the damage), as well you can cast the Starseer's skill who boost critical in every fight before Galdera and before the last hit (Better safe than sorry) Not sure if you did it, but I think bring "cover" on Olberic is also a good idea! ;)

it sucks that you can't save in between the 8 bosses and the final bad.. cause after losing to the final bad, I'm never going back to fighting all those 8 again just to get to him.

How in the hell do you get Winnehild’s battle cry THAT damn powerful?!! Where do y’all learn how to do this stuff? I need to learn this trick like NOW. I just got to the end and I need to know how you do this like ASAP

Finally beat this guy today after about 10 tries! WOOO

I never got past the end of the first phase, when the souls need to be attacked with magic but their weakness change each time

Great help! I beat it first time with your guide!!!

‘I have used a lot of slippery nuts’ 😂

Congrats on completing Post game. I'm still so far away since I've only just completed Chapter 1 for everyone. XD

I'm very surprised you are letting H'annit die and trying to rely on slippery nuts when you could simply equip the Cover support skill to any of your other party members instead.

Am i the only one triggered he's using the best class to spam dohters items (runelord) while his alf does nothing? xD still good strategy i did it similarly dohters is just broken

I know about support skills but its really not that easy to do I kept trying n trying so I. just need more time in my mind n yes paddle tested blade is really strong and surpassing power is even better but theres a bunch of sentence to do I need help

I know I'm really late to this but what are your classes, equipment and skill set up?

Thank you! Got him first try :)

Great game! Still missing it!

I spent 1 hour and 48 minutes got the first phase in the red then died. If I can’t even get past phase one with this method at level 70+ how tf am I supposed to kill it’s last phase?!

After seeing him use revive to res Haanit with 1 hp and using yet another turn to heal her, that was all i needed to see to not watch the rest of the video. Olive of Life M or L would have done that in 1 turn and saved a ton of sp as well

Andddd I finally did it, on this try galdera didn't get to go first on the second turn and I broke him and literally handed him his ass with a 70k per hit combo from Alfyn the warmaster

That second fight was a NUT

This worked!!

Thank you....

Craaazy, dude
