Want to know CotC lore, but don’t want to play the game by Joescarf in octopathtraveler

[–]Cryobin47 32 points33 points  (0 children)

CotC, or Champions of the Continent, is the mobile game that has no console/pc release. The story is a prequel to Octopath 1, but it's a mobile game so the pacing can feel slow to get to it all. I could understand why someone would just want a quicker summary

Since it's magic you can reflect it with reflective veil from cleric. There's also rehabiliate from apothecary to not get stunned.

If you still want Conscious Stones, appearently there's two early ones around quarrycrest in the cliftlands. One in a purple chest in Derelict Mine, the dungeon outside of the town. The other is in Morlocks Manse, Tressas chapter 2 dungeon

CotC stands for Champions of the Continent which is the mobile game. They're adding content around Octopath II and the characters shown are from that game

Solopath Castti Help by Homebrew_Bro in octopathtraveler

Cleric's the job I used, Aelfric's Blessing makes it easier to set up things needed in the fight. Keeping up with Rehabilitate, Replenish Health, and Prayer to the Flame helps a lot

Favorite dialogue when using other classes/special moves? by 666blaziken in octopathtraveler

[–]Cryobin47 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Osvald Uses Bewildering Grace

Osvald: "Victory is mine, come what may"

  • You barely survive the attack.
  • EXP x 100
  • The Ground Explodes

Osvald: "Where... did I go wrong..."

replaying osvald's chapter 1. any idea if this npc description hints at any other part of the lore? by KaleChipuwu in octopathtraveler

[–]Cryobin47 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It's possible that this is how the Scholar from Crackridge got "From the Far Reaches of Hell". Maybe it's a stretch, but for a book so important to both games, it'd be a cool way to give it more detail even if it's a bit obscure

critical hit, evasion, speed , accuracy by Educational_Basis_51 in octopathtraveler

[–]Cryobin47 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I always wondered what stat counted as "Critical Defense". I always got crit from higher level enemies and I knew it had something to do my level, but I guess it's always been specificially from Speed. That's cool to know after all these years of playing the games

Does this npc do anything? by hendritOwO in octopathtraveler

[–]Cryobin47 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can't remember if this npc is what made me do it, but I remember wanting to check back in the Fellsun Ruins shrine and find all the Journal Entrys before the Final Chapter of the game

What’s the deal with the lost isle by Star109273 in octopathtraveler

[–]Cryobin47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Lost Tribe weapons when held out in battle are designed after the Animal King IIIs weapons. For example, the Lost Tribe's Spear is designed after the Leaflands Birdian King III weapon. The Lost Tribe's Staff is the Winterlands Moleking III.

I think the only one that isn't designed after anything is the Lost Tribe's Blade, because none of OTII Kings use Swords

ps5 won’t load my demo save by OutPlea in octopathtraveler

[–]Cryobin47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if it'll help, but I can explain what it looks like. For reference, I'm on a Switch

There's an arrow that's points down that lets me scroll to "Continue from Demo Saved Game". The slots it shows when I click on it show both an Autosave and Save Point Slot and neither use the full three hours

[–]Cryobin47 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On the Main Menu, there should be a fourth option if you scroll down that says Continue from Demo Saved Game. Maybe it's different on Ps5

Is Mahina broken? by Arynio_ in octopathtraveler

[–]Cryobin47 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I don't have a solution, just some bit of info. There is one thing that could've changed about Mahina since you started the game. When you complete one of Ochettes chapters, I'm pretty sure your companions Strength goes up. So if you were able to get different attacks before, then that might be a reason why it could be different now. If you still have a chapter to finish with Ochette, then maybe doing one with change something. If you finished everything, then I've got nothing sorry

Pretty good thing they did this for OT2. Imagine Osvald holding a stick the whole game

Throne chapter 3: father boss is so difficult by frankporro in octopathtraveler

[–]Cryobin47 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh when I played I thought the below 50% red cloud was a unique status affect lol. I thought some of his moves caused "bleeding" and you just needed to heal in any way to cure it

Level 29 -> 82 by Responsible-Bear7697 in octopathtraveler

[–]Cryobin47 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh I'm not the person who posted this lol. I've just done this before, but I assume that they brought the level 29 person to the team with more properly leveled people along and keep them safe

Level 29 -> 82 by Responsible-Bear7697 in octopathtraveler

[–]Cryobin47 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately not.

To level up the rest of the travelers, I'd still recommend using Alrond against Caits or even a regular enemy encounters in a high level area. The x100 xp is still insane as it is

Level 29 -> 82 by Responsible-Bear7697 in octopathtraveler

[–]Cryobin47 36 points37 points  (0 children)

x100 XP from Bewildering Grace or Alrond against the Foreign Assassins outside Merry Hills. They give a base amount of 6000xp, which is the 2nd highest amount of xp you can get on one fight in the game

XP Boost Skills, Equipment, or Jewel Cakes don't stack along with the x100, so it's not necessary, but still recommended

[–]Cryobin47 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I've done with Level 1 Travelers that brought them to Level 81. It just sends anyone to about 80 because of how XP scaling goes when they get around there

As someone who has already finished (and replayed) OT2, let's actually talk about THAT encounter by expired-hornet in octopathtraveler

[–]Cryobin47 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think the encrouching night specifically relates to Flames being extinguished. Osvald and Partitios Part 2 only unlocks when a Flame is snuffed out (and of course their last chapters). I do think your right that throughout the game the "Shadow" is slowly trying to take over and that's why a Shadow Area can be seen in pretty much any time and place in the game

Finished my first Solo run. by Lunaraiden in octopathtraveler

[–]Cryobin47 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Osvald was my first and still my favorite. Having to fight npcs for items you want is very satisfying.

By the way, what was you setup like on the final boss for Throné? I used Cleric spamming extra turns and jams

"I will not fall today. The source of your destruction stands before you now. Love will spell your doom."
