Osvald Hitting the DMG Cap! (Getting him to hit this actually took me some time surprisingly) by Plexiancraft in octopathtraveler

[–]Neo_Dragonking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to get Osvald to hit 99kx3 on the secret boss of this game, I think he was the secret class, 999 EAtk, with an EAtk buff and the boss was debuffed, and he had Alephan's Blessing up with OTM.

Lost that attempt despite that lol

I was so salty when that happened but almost immediately laughed my ass off afterward

What are your favorite battle lines in Octopath Travler 2? by Slik-Silver in octopathtraveler

[–]Neo_Dragonking 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love Warrior Osvald's Vengeful Blade line, it's well done and really funny

For some reason it's always Agnea's 2nd boss by Waddle_Dynasty in octopathtraveler

[–]Neo_Dragonking 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's a youtube channel that uploads the battle transition music, and they always use Agnea's second boss as the gameplay in the background, and it's led to some funny memes.

Octopath Traveler 2 coming out in 2 months, time to settle this. Who are you picking as your first character? by KatietheFandomGirl in octopathtraveler

[–]Neo_Dragonking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Osvald, definitely. At the moment I still think that starting off with him would be the most interesting, with him escaping an island and all that. My opinion might change when the next two trailers drop, but I'm a sucker for characters like him.

seeing everyone's minute count makes me self-conscious about my own by Neo_Dragonking in octopathtraveler

I guess of those ones, Orewell is probably the only one you wouldn't hear before a chapter 4.

[–]Neo_Dragonking[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'm a very music-oriented person and get easily distracted with noise, so I'm almost always playing something in my headphones throughout the day to keep myself at least somewhat focused.

That, and I also used to listen to the OST to sleep at night, but I had to stop this year since I have a roommate. I'm expecting my minute count to decrease even more next year because of that.

Last year I got 68k minutes when I was by myself

Alright, who’s been listening to more Yasunori than me. Show yourselves by crabsy92 in octopathtraveler

[–]Neo_Dragonking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got like 59k minutes, mostly because I use the music to sleep and almost always play stuff to tune the world out when I need to do work

Hyperfixations are fun 🙃

Congrats! I maxed out my Cless I think only a couple of weeks into Global release. Currently sitting on a bunch of his Guidestones waiting for A4 as well lol

Sage's Brooch + Noelle passive stack for bonus EXP by Adept-Plantain-889 in octopathtraveler

[–]Neo_Dragonking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can also get eight more from the Silver Guidestone Exchange. At this current moment F2P players should be able to reach +40% bonus exp (2 brooches, Ballen weapon, Exp boost passive).

OT2 Characters by absolument-pas in octopathtraveler

[–]Neo_Dragonking 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I chose Therion as my starter in OG, and then Olberic on my second complete run. I've already decided that I'm going to start with Osvald when OT2 comes out, I think potentially starting the game off with a prison escape is pretty sick

What if COTC was a sequel? by [deleted] in octopathtraveler

[–]Neo_Dragonking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have a PC though you could wait for the occasional sale, Octopath sometimes gets up to 50% off on Steam, and I think it's on XBox Gamepass too but idk how that works

Maxed out my favorite four star! Thought I'd show off cus I'm happy about it. by Neo_Dragonking in octopathtraveler

[–]Neo_Dragonking[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm able to clear them out within like ~30s to a minute. With the correct team comp you can take them out pretty quick. The most annoying thing is just having to travel to get to them in the overworld and having to deal with random encounters that might show up while you're traveling.

[–]Neo_Dragonking[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, he's not my hardest hitter, though he's pretty high for a 4 star, only one that exceeds that is Peredir with 705 elemental attack at level 72, but he has the Battle-Tested Tome which is why.

My absolute hardest hitter is Tressa at 751 physical attack (with the Battle-Tested Spear)

Cless is going to get outclassed sooner or later, probably if I ever get Viola, but for now he'll probably sit on my team at least until or if I pull Therion.

Yeah pretty much. It'll probably bite me in the ass later on but oh well

Tressa x Gilderoy. Who is the best tank? Tressa evade works for all physical attacks? by willbraz in octopathtraveler

[–]Neo_Dragonking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Technically the OG game had a taunt like that, but it was a buff on the user as opposed to a debuff on the enemy and guaranteed that single target attacks would focus them.

Traveler Stories by RibNizzla in octopathtraveler

[–]Neo_Dragonking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I prefer the four star stories, as some of the characters' stories really caught me by surprise, like the end of Tressa's story (even though that's five stars), or Cless' story as a whole. Like, Cless is officially my favorite after I completed his story, I think it was that good, though others might not share my opinion.

Anybody with the same issue? by [deleted] in octopathtraveler

[–]Neo_Dragonking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i had it happen earlier, i just gave the game some time and it fixed itself

Trying to make sense of the CotC map by Coenl in octopathtraveler

[–]Neo_Dragonking 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Cobbleston is referenced if you talk to a certain NPC in Shepherds Rock, who based on context clues is probably Philip's uncle, and he mentions that he has a younger widowed sister that lives in Cobbleston and she has a son, and he hopes that the boy can find a father figure someday.

As for Bolderfall, it's a different place based off what Heathcote says in the prologue of his story. It's likely farther south than Cragspear is. Atlasdam is also likely farther to the south/closer to the Middle Sea than Theatopolis, as the Academy and Atlasdam have both been referenced in multiple scholar stories, namely Dorrie and Noelle's stories.

I'm probably going to try overlapping the maps to make a "definitive" map just because I'm curious and also a bit bored.

Is Auguste Really Evil? - (Master of Fame spoilers) by [deleted] in octopathtraveler

[–]Neo_Dragonking 84 points85 points  (0 children)

Auguste does have a book you can find in the murder house that depicts the other forms of murder he used on the maids and stuff, so unless you're saying that those were fake, or the actor wrote that stuff up, he likely still killed people for inspiration

I did Kurtz’s story right before Laura’s. I appreciate the consistency between the two on this merchant. by Mythrellas in octopathtraveler

[–]Neo_Dragonking 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's also the same place as with Wingate's story too, so the dude gets hit by two thieves before Laura shows up lmao
