Unlock The More Rare Monsters Support Skill

Increase the chance of having Octopuff Travelers appear in your encounters by unlocking the support skill More Rare Monsters. This can be achieved by having Ochette in your party or having someone get Hunter as their secondary job since it will increase the chance of encountering rare monsters.

Do note that these support skills will not stack with each other, and having one character have it is enough to increase the likelihood you'll encounter one.

Obtain Octopuff Pot to Increase Spawn Rate

Octopuff Pot is an equipable accessory that raises the chances of encountering Octopuff Travelers. This can be obtained by using a Path Action on a Fisherman in Conning Creek, Harborlands.

It will cost you 19,000 leaves to purchase the accessory if you use Partitio's Path Action on him.

Transform Enemies to Octopuffs With Bewildering Grace

When using Agnea's dancer skill, Bewildering Grace, there's a slight chance you'll be able to transform enemies into an Octopuff Traveler. This only works on normal enemies and has a random chance of happening when BP is maxed out.

It's important that you defeat the transformed enemies as soon as possible, as they'll try to flee like their wild counterparts.

How to Beat Octopuff Travelers

Secure Victory Using Hikari's Merciless Blade

To easily beat any octopuff traveler you encounter, bring Hikari along and make him learn the skill called Merciless Blade. It's an offensive skill that allows Hikari to deal a fixed 3000 damage against an opponent.

However, obtaining Merciless Blade isn't easy since you need to defeat the Young Man NPC in Tropu'hopu to learn the skill. The Young Man has max strength and hits like a truck, so It's better to be adequately leveled when attempting to learn from him.

Use Soulstones

Normal Octopuff Travelers can be easily defeated with Soulstones. Soulstones deal magical damage, which means that they can hit enemies without fail. They also deal high damage so you don't have to worry about the Octopuff Traveler's shield points.

Utilize Break and Boost

Break an Octopuff Traveler's shield by exploiting their weaknesses. While they are in a break state, the enemy will be stunned, has lowered defense, and cannot move for one turn, meaning that you can take this opportunity to unleash your strong attacks against them!

Maximize damage while enemies are in this state by using Boost to enhance your attacks, spells, and skills.

Use Characters' Latent Power

Latent Power is a new game mechanic that provides a powerful unique ability to each character. There are latent powers such as letting players access strong and unique skills, replenishing BP, changing spells' focus to a single enemy to make it strong, and many more. It's wise to utilize this mechanic when fighting an Octopuff Traveler.

Use Hired Help Job Skill

A skill with high accuracy like Partitio's Hired Help are effective against Octopuff Travelers. Use boost to increase the hit rate since, even with its high accuracy, it doesn't always hit.

Octopuff Travelers have a high evasion rate, so choose the one that can be summoned with 7000 Leaves for a higher chance of hitting the enemy.
