In series tradition, Octopath Traveler 0 When it comes to rare monsters it has a few categories: cats and octopuses. In both cases, the amount of EXP and JP earned goes far beyond almost anything else in the game, making them your best prospects for strengthening your team. And in a game with this many recruitable party members, you want all the help you can get.
Whether or not Octopath Traveler 0 maintains the continuity of the series is entirely up to you
Alterpath Traveler.
There is a way to increase your chances of bumping into Caits and Octopuffs. In fact, there are many ways, and by combining them, you will increase your chances so much that they will rarely be seen. that “Rare” again.
Where can Caits and Octopuffs be found?
Caits are located in a great many zonesAnd when I'm not sure which areas don't do To give birth to them, it can easily be said that very few do. In fact, it may very well be true that there are more places with Caits than without them. I have seen them inside side Dungeons, on passages between cities, and even in climactic story stages like castles.
Cait arises from variation in species Recommended level for a given areaSo you will find simple Caits in the early areas, Round Kates In the latter, and so on. Because that's important Higher-level Caits decrease greater EXP. 1,000 is a ton early on, and it's nothing to scoff at in the mid-game, but it's much less effective later on. On the other hand, 5,000 EXP is a great deal until very high levels.
Octopus are sea dwellers, Then you will find only them Mediterranean and outer regions. You can cross these after you get your boat, Queen Orsa.
Difficulty finding rare monsters is only half the equation. They often escape for their first act, and usually escape for their second act. That's why you need to use it Highest accuracy attack You have, as well as any Speed-slowing or turn-stalling moves in your arsenalWhich would delay the escape attempt if they didn't bolt at the start.
How to stack the odds in your favor
There are a few ways to do this, and you can Expand your possibilities to the maximum by combining them. That doesn't mean you'll always encounter rare monsters, of course. Far from it. But you will see a big impact – that I can guarantee.
More rare monster mastery
We will start with More rare monsterstantalizingly-titled mastery which can be equipped on the character Support skill slots. pay attention, Multiples of the same more rare monster skills will not stackSo if you find too many, there's little point in equipping more than one, since you'll only see results from the first one.
As it happens, I've only found one so far, anyway – In the treasure chest in Snowshard Grotto. Note, however, that this is one blue chestWhich means you should Complete up to Chapter 5 of the “Kindlers of the Flame” Wishwell restoration arc and upgrade the church twice.
Doing so will let you unlock blue chests, and it's generally recommended in general Much of Octopath Traveler 0's best stuff is found in them.
lucky coin
And then there is lucky coinone assistant Which will do the same thing as the mastery of many rare monsters. It, too, cannot be combined with other lucky charms to increase the effect; Combining this with more rare monsters, however, Your chances will double.
To get lucky coins, you must Recruit TressaAnd then reach far Kindlers of flame arc to start Amity Mechanic. This allows you to reach residents throughout Wishvale (in this case, Tressa) and give them items. Inquire furtherA new development of the Inquire path function is available only here.
Inquire further Twice (the second time, she wants Tresalad) and the lucky coin is yours.
You can finally build Silver and Gold versions of Cait and Octopuff Creatures in Wishwell, but you need it Kate Whiskers and Octopus Suction Cupsrespectively, plus silver or gold ingots. The downer is that It does not increase the chance of encountering enemies. They do some good, though – They increase your EXP and leaves (Cait Statues) or JP (Octopuffs)..
A spoiler-y suggestion
Very late in the wider story of Octopath Traveler 0, a A certain party member Can help you fend off Caits and Octopuffs when to escape. Equip them Dance of the Sloughs To reduce their accuracy/theft and Push them to the back of the turn orderAnd between Soulstones, a fairly high accuracy stat for your characters at this point in the game, allies, and a small dose of luck, you'll have no problem beating them.
Again, this is kind of a big spoiler. Not the biggest shocker in the game, but still.
Anyway, it's Bargello! he Finally Joins your party in the final arc, and he There is a skill that makes it so that he is always first. It also pioneers Caits and Octopuffs, thank goodness.
For whatever reason, the game's coding kind of messes up when you start one Sudden attackAnd instead it seems to be pulled from anyone with a high speed position, but it's no big deal – you'll still get the first move. Bargello isn't the strongest Octopath Traveler 0 character in the game, but a guy custom-built to net all the EXP you can dream of.
