[Complete walkthrough of Octora 0]Thorough explanation of the strongest equipment in the early stages “Horned Armor” and the route to join Delitia and Saoirse! The reason why the party strength suddenly increases with the opening of Victor Hollow

Octopath Traveler 0, commonly known as Octora 0, is a single-player RPG with beautiful HD-2D graphics. In this game, the player creates a protagonist and unfolds a story of revenge and restoration surrounding the Ring of God, set in the past of the continent of Orstella. In this game, where the difficulty of the game is greatly influenced by how you conquer it in the early stages, you can dramatically improve your party's durability by opening up a high-level area called Victor Hollow early and acquiring extremely powerful equipment called Horned Armor that can be obtained there. Furthermore, by proceeding in parallel with the route of joining powerful allies such as Delitia and Saoirse, the balance between firepower and support will be perfect, making subsequent chapters much easier.

In this guide, even if the enemies in Victor Hollow are level 10, you can overcome them if you thoroughly escape. Just getting these in the early stages will greatly reduce the difficulty.

1. Performance details of extremely powerful equipment and companions that will change your strategy in the early stages

In the early stages of Octora 0, the main character's job selection and initial equipment are limited. However, the Horned Armor available in Victor Hollow has extremely high physical defense, making it the strongest class in the early stages. Although this equipment has the disadvantage of being weak against elemental resistance, it provides overwhelming stability in the early stages when there are many physical enemies. It costs about 5000 leaves and is sold at the weapon shop in Victor Hollow.

In addition, large recovery items and elixirs can be purchased in the same area. Easier to treat status ailments. This strengthens long-term battle resistance and can also be used as fast travel points. On the other hand, Delitia is an attacker with a hunter job, and after breaking, the arrow of death deals more than 1000 damage, ignoring weaknesses. There is a possibility of instant death. Saoirse is a support role for the dancer job, and the overall regeneration from the dance of rest stabilizes the battle.

Delitia's basic stat is high physical attack. You can attack while slowing down with Shadow Arrow. Drifting arrows attack twice randomly and are excellent at dealing with small fish. Sleeping ice mist is controlled by ice attribute + sleep. Switch positions with Backstep Arrow and lower enemy's defense with Mind Down. The flow of pursuing with ice blocks and finishing with the deadly arrow is powerful. Support abilities include power increase when low HP, physical attack +50, weakness extension, and debuff extension when switching with the fire field's stupid power. Akiku's special technique strengthens the entire party by debuffing all enemies and buffing all allies.

Saoirse's main strengths are increasing physical defense with Earth Dragon's Dance, regenerating a single target for 3 turns with Dance of Rest, increasing speed with Black Panther's Dance, and regenerating all units for 2 turns with Dance of Rest. Performs wind attribute attacks with gust of wind and raging wind. It is also possible to debuff with sleep poetry. For support, refreshing gives SP regeneration when HP regenerates, speed +50, maximum SP +50, and back dancer gives an excellent special gauge increase when in the rear. Special move Aria of Rhythm gives a 2-turn attack that ignores weaknesses to a single target, contributing to break acceleration. This combination provides both firepower and durability.

2. Complete steps to unlock Victor Hollow and obtain Horned Armor

Victor Hollow is a high level area that extends from western Valore. It can be reached even in a party of 10 players at the beginning level. Enemies along the way are powerful, but if you choose to flee immediately after the battle starts, you can minimize damage. The recommended level is around 12. Prioritize speed-enhanced gear to increase escape success.

After arriving, pass through the arena and the old town, and purchase horned armor at the weapon shop. The physical defense power of this equipment is top class in the early stages, supporting durability during boss battles. At the same time, buy a large amount of recovery potions and elixirs to perfect your countermeasures against abnormal conditions. By registering as a fast traveler, your subsequent movement will be made more efficient and you will be able to proceed on multiple routes in parallel. There are also plenty of treasure chests and NPCs, making it worthwhile to obtain additional items.

The value of release is not only in improving durability, but also in stabilizing recovery methods. Prevents SP depletion in the early stages and enables long-term exploration. Please secure at least 5000 leaves through quests and theft in Valore to purchase funds.

3. Complete guide to joining Delitia: From clearing Chapter 2 of the power route to winning the battle

To join Delitia, you need to clear “The One Who Masters Power Chapter 2: Dream of Yuki''. This chapter is set around Ember Glow, and progresses through a research institute and snowy roads. For boss battles, please use the ice attribute and challenge at the recommended level of around 15. After clearing, Delitia will appear in front of the bar on the west side of Ember Glow.

Execute the field command “Win” and win a battle with a risk level of 8. Delitia's status is specialized as a hunter, and she masters bows and axes, as well as ice magic. You can immediately join as a reward for winning, and you can also get Akiku clan amulet accessories. In battle, aim for her break and be wary of the deadly arrow.

There are many NPCs in Ember Glow, and items can be obtained from bar owners and Scarlet Wing Soldiers. Don't forget to collect the treasure chest on the laboratory map.

4. Complete guide to joining Saoirse: Clear Chapter 3 of Fame Route and correct answers to theater options

To join Saoirse, you must clear “The Master of Fame Chapter 3: Argust the Thief''. The game revolves around Theatpolis Grand Theater, and the bosses are weak to swords, spears, axes, ice, and darkness. Keep HP/SP full before the second form. After clearing the stage, talk to the man in front of the large theater stage and a rehearsal event will occur.

The correct answers are in the following order:

1. Light as a murrelet
2. Gorgeous like a large moving flower
3. Passionately like a fungus exposed

If you fail, you can use “Ask” Saoirse to get hints. If you answer correctly, you will join and receive rewards for increasing your fame and influence. Please learn the Dance of Rest early, at the recommended level of around 16.

Satopolis is a wind attribute area, where Saoirse's magic comes into play.

5. Additional equipment guide to obtain Killer Bow and strengthen Deleteia

The Killer Bow, which further increases Delitia's firepower, can be obtained by “winning” from a cool hunter in eastern Emberglow. The risk is medium, level 15 recommended. The damage of the deadly arrow will be improved with the performance of bow specialization. You can also steal swords such as the Falcon Sword from NPCs in Ember Glow to supplement your durable equipment.

Combined with Horned Armor, it provides physical defense to everyone, making you nearly invincible.

6. How to use the strongest configuration of Delitia & Saoirse and recommended party formation

The core of the operation is to make a break with Delitia's firepower and maintain it with Saoirse's support. At the start, Saoirse's Black Panther Dance accelerates the speed, and Delitia's Mind Down applies a debuff. After breaking, fire a series of deadly arrows and maintain regeneration with a dance of rest. Refresh with support + build up your firepower and optimize your SP management.

Party example 1 (early stage): Protagonist (swordsman) + Delitia + Saoirse + Apothecary. Firepower, recovery, and support are perfect.
Party example 2 (middle stage): After joining Tresa, add money earning as a merchant.
It is possible to support the final chapter with the highest single firepower of Delitia and the highest support for Saoirse.

7. Maximize efficiency with optimal route throughout the early stages and additional tips

The best route is after the prologue, Power Chapter 2 → Victor Hollow opening → Fame Chapter 3 in parallel. We will secure funds through the wealth route. Additional tips include thorough escape, collecting all quests, unlocking abilities at the job training center, and improving command success rate by increasing influence. Please prioritize the sub-stories “Meeting Delitia” and “Meeting Saoirse.”

Open all the treasure chests in the Ember Glow Snowy Mountains and the Research Institute to raise your level.

8. Summary: Use this route to overwhelmingly conquer the early stages of Octora 0

By preparing Delitia's high-firepower deadly arrow, Saoirse's full regeneration dance of rest, Victor Hollow's horned armor and recovery items in the early stages, your party's strength will skyrocket. Difficulty level is significantly reduced. Clear Chapter 2 of Power and Chapter 3 of Fame efficiently and strengthen it with the Killer Bow. If you do these things, the adventure after the final chapter will be much easier to proceed with. Please enjoy the vast world of Octra 0 to the fullest.
