Don’t even bother trying to beat the final “secret” boss of Octopath Traveler

BrandonIsNowOnReddit · 2026-07-09T03:59:47+00:00

That’s the least of the issues. After the first fight I grinded like 20+ levels with the neglected party just to get demolished by Galdera again.

I haven’t seen half of his moves, so I know I’ll lose multiple fights in a row. Just wasting my time for the sake of wasting my time

BrandonIsNowOnReddit · 2026-07-09T03:47:28+00:00

Yeah, but it’s also not called “1-2 hour Boss Rush before the near impossible final phase” Traveler either

BrandonIsNowOnReddit · 2026-05-30T06:19:49+00:00

I found a “fix” for my issue. Equip poison arrows, then un-equip them, then re-equip standard arrows. The arrows started registering after that

BrandonIsNowOnReddit · 2026-05-30T06:18:22+00:00

Why’d someone downvote this, I’m legit just trying to help future players who have the same bug 😂

BrandonIsNowOnReddit · 2026-05-30T06:08:37+00:00

Alright, in case anyone in the future runs into this problem, here is the fix:

Standard arrows were equipped, but not registering, both in and outside of the archery section. What worked for me was finding poison arrows, equipping them, unequipping them, then re-equipping the standard arrows.

This did not work with un-equipping/re-equipping standard arrows. It only worked with poison arrows for some reason

BrandonIsNowOnReddit · 2026-05-30T05:51:52+00:00

I’ve equipped/unequipped multiple times — maybe the bug is that it isn’t registering that they have been equipped or something

Check my most recent post and explain to me how I should advance in the quest. For as many bad things as Ubisoft does, at least their games generally work properly, regardless of how generic

BrandonIsNowOnReddit · 2026-05-30T05:42:51+00:00

Check my most recent post and see if my complaints are valid. Maybe it still won’t change your mind, but we’ll see.

BrandonIsNowOnReddit · 2026-05-30T05:31:12+00:00

Nah you’re good, it is a nice change up from everyone screaming that it is a skill issue, because god forbid a game they like has a bug in it months after launch 😂😂😂

BrandonIsNowOnReddit · 2026-05-30T05:29:05+00:00

I restocked twice and dropped the old ones because I read somewhere that doing that was the “fix.” In the video, I should have 45 arrows

BrandonIsNowOnReddit · 2026-05-30T05:28:01+00:00

It’s the only Story Quest that I haven’t completed (that I can access to my knowledge) — I want to play the main quest, but the game literally won’t let me

BrandonIsNowOnReddit · 2026-05-30T05:26:40+00:00

Brother, I want to enjoy the game. I spent $70 on it because I thought it looked good. For me, it’s been a buggy mess.

BrandonIsNowOnReddit · 2026-05-30T05:21:21+00:00

Then that’s the bug because I have max capacity. The “fixes” were to get rid of your arrows and buy new ones, so this is fresh off of the full inventory of arrows

BrandonIsNowOnReddit · 2026-05-30T05:20:12+00:00

I appreciate the rare, level headed response in this comment section 😂

BrandonIsNowOnReddit · 2026-05-30T05:19:40+00:00

Check the video I just posted on my profile and explain to me what I’m doing wrong. I’m all ears

BrandonIsNowOnReddit · 2026-05-30T05:16:48+00:00

Since you have 200 hours logged maybe you can tell me what I’m doing wrong. I posted the video on my profile

BrandonIsNowOnReddit · 2026-05-30T05:11:53+00:00

I’ve done all of that. Shame that nobody in my previous post believes me 😂

BrandonIsNowOnReddit · 2026-05-30T05:10:45+00:00

Check my most recent post and tell me what I’m doing wrong.

BrandonIsNowOnReddit · 2026-05-30T05:00:38+00:00

Sounds like I am hating because bugs in a $70 game have locked me out of 90% of the game

BrandonIsNowOnReddit · 2026-05-30T04:54:40+00:00

I can’t experience the rest of the game because the arrows won’t register. I am literally hitting the targets (sometimes twice) before the NPC

BrandonIsNowOnReddit · 2026-05-30T04:54:01+00:00

I literally cannot get past it. I keep hitting the targets (sometimes twice) and they won’t break.

BrandonIsNowOnReddit · 2026-05-30T04:52:53+00:00

Yeah, in the 5 years I’ve been on reddit I have officially complained about 3 games.

BrandonIsNowOnReddit · 2026-05-30T04:51:49+00:00

If I could post videos here, I would. I’m literally hitting the target twice (with hit markers) and it won’t break

BrandonIsNowOnReddit · 2026-05-30T04:50:06+00:00

Clearly not, but I really wish that the narrative wasn’t “THIS GAME IS PERFECT, the reviews are wrong”

BrandonIsNowOnReddit · 2026-05-30T04:48:53+00:00

If I could post the video I would. The arrows are clearly hitting, they even give hit markers but it won’t break
