My first real challenge wall didn't happen until I started getting to most character's chapter 3's

you'll definitely want to avoid overleveling though, which sucks because the battle system is so good!

Ha, I agree with this. Even when I'm a lot stronger than the enemy, it's still fun to try to plan to break for weaknesses, or try to get in a steal, collect, or capture.

You'll definitely be overleveled for a lot of the game. I recommend running around with the Scholar's Evasive Maneuvers ability equipped at all times.

since I didn't feel like doing all that stuff without saving in order to have just one attempt at the true final boss


This is not a problem in Octopath 2.

So, I just got the boat and am kinda surprised and delighted this is in the game. I wasn't expecting to be able to explore with it. Though I'm still underleveled for exploring with it, so it'll have to wait - all I did was just go a short distance to get a really nice staff.

Despite it being a trope that you often get one of these in RPGs, I wasn't expecting Octopath to get it. It doesn't *need* it per se, but I think it adds a nice touch.

So, trying to understand what some of these abilities doCastti has an ability that gives three protection against enfeebling effects at the start of battle, however Ive seen her get hit with statuses with this active. I guess enfeebling means stat down then?

Also, the warrior ability Enervating Slash cancels positive status effects, but when Ive tried to use it against stat up, it fails to cancel it. Maybe this one is only positive effects, but I cant think of any positive effects that arent stat up that Ive seen an enemy do. Or maybe it just fails on bosses?

I never used Preventative Measures so I don't know how it works.

Enervating Slash's description was mistranslated. It removes the user's buffs to deal more damage not the target.

Using Evasive Maneuvers has helped with feeling overleveled. Osvald was my last character, so I didn't have this for awhile. I also got this for Castti so I can have it all the time now. All but one of the available chapters are now well over my party's average level (Castti is 34, Ochette is 30, and everyone else is mid 20s-ish). I also decided to head over to a level 37 area to get to Stormveil. It was fun to have more difficult fights, and I think I'm far enough in the game that there's enough options that the higher level battles can be doable.

Some of the basic setups to maximize damage for breaks from the first game work in this one too, which I can do now that I'm getting those abilities. I did a level 31 chapter boss without too much trouble. It helped that he had dagger weakness and three characters could hit that twice in one turn.

Also, thanks for clarifying. Seems much less useful than I was thinking.

Enervating Slash can be absolutely busted in terms of damage but yeah

I saw a merchant in Stormhail that had several really expensive, powerful weapons with a really low steal rate. I remembered from the first game that usually the most reasonable way to get these was to buy them. I even checked and he disappeared in night time mode. Good thing I didnt buy them, because it turns out he is there in night mode, just somewhere else. And it was really easy to mug him too. Gotta remember not to make big moves in a town until I explore fully in both day and night, heh.
