[Octopath Travelers 0]A complete route guide to get all the strongest equipment in the early stages | Techniques and detailed operating methods to instantly become stronger from the trial version[Octopath 0]

Octopath Travelers 0, commonly known as Octora 0, has attracted many players as a turn-based RPG that lets you travel through an epic world. In this game, the choice of equipment in the early stages greatly influences the comfort of the adventure. In particular, by acquiring powerful weapons and armor early on, difficult boss battles and mopping up small enemies will become surprisingly smooth, accelerating the story progression.

In this article, we will explain step-by-step the route to ensure you can obtain the strongest class equipment, focusing on early areas such as Theatopolis and Flame Grace. Low-probability acquisition using rerolling is also possible without risk, and trial version users can maintain an advantageous situation when transitioning to the product version. We will thoroughly delve into specific NPC locations, how to use save points, equipment status details, and combination examples so that even beginners can proceed without hesitation. If you read this, you should be able to push through to the middle of the game in unrivaled condition even if your level is low.

1. Prerequisite knowledge to build the foundation for early stage strategy: Improving the success rate of escape and optimal use of begging

In the early stages of Octora 0, your battle choices are important. Since you will be passing through strong enemy areas, learn the support skill “Knowledge of Escape'' as soon as possible, which will increase the success rate of the “Escape'' command. This skill is automatically activated at the start of battle and greatly increases the escape success rate. Specifically, it will be possible to go directly to the desired NPC area while avoiding enemy encounters near Valore. For example, immediately after arriving at Shiatopolis, you can roam around the library and temple while avoiding enemies around the Torch Knight Garrison.

Next, the key is to utilize the “beg” command. This is a field command that allows NPCs to give you items for free, and although the success rate is low, ranging from a few percent to several tens of percent, you can get them 100% by repeating save and load. The basic steps are as follows.

1. Save at a save point (church or bed) near the target NPC.
2. Execute begging. If it fails, return to the title screen and load.
3. Repeat until successful. It takes about 1 to 2 minutes each time.

“Improving relationships” at the bar (1000 leaves per time) is an alternative method, but since early stage funds are limited, we recommend giving priority to rerolling. Also, if you choose the main character's influence “Fame”, the success rate of begging will increase overall, but please consider the balance with power (winning).

If you solidify these foundations, you will be able to get low-probability equipment such as exorcism swords and forbidden books in a short time. Please note that begging is often limited to once a day, so make use of the passage of time (camping or church prayer). In addition, if you use the thief job “steal” together, you can obtain a backup. If you put this prerequisite knowledge into practice, you can improve your movement efficiency in the early stages by more than three times and cut unnecessary battles by 99%. In fact, some players are reporting that after clearing the trial version, they were able to immediately pass the mid-game boss in the final version.

Furthermore, the influence of initial settings cannot be ignored. If you select “The Secret of Pulling Pillars'' as the technique the protagonist learned and set “Beef Dishes'' as your favorite dish, the physical attack buff will be effective from the beginning. Prioritize the “Seal Key” in your belongings to accelerate your recruitment. This completes the foundation for collecting equipment. By accumulating these small tips, you can complete the strongest equipment an hour faster than other players.

2. Detailed acquisition guide for the strongest weapons in the early stages that increase the sword user's firepower to the maximum: Exorcism Sword and Platinum Sword

The “Exorcism Sword” and “Platinum Sword”, which shine as mainstays for sword jobs and physical attackers, are equipment that completely changes attack performance in the early stages. First, I will explain “Exorcism Sword”. The stats of this sword are physical attack +68 and evasion +17, and when attacking, it has the effect of “rarely reducing the target's attribute attack”. It is especially effective against enemies with elemental resistance, and increases the stability of boss battles.

The place to get it is “Torch Knight from the Garrison” in Theatopolis. Head north from the town entrance and locate to the right of the garrison area. The success rate of begging is relatively high at about 30-50%, but we recommend securing it through rerolling. Use the church right next to the save point, and load immediately if you fail. After you succeed, check the Torch Knight's conversation log to obtain additional information and make other requests more efficient. At the same time, you can also ask for “Iron Armor”, so you can kill two birds with one stone.

Next is the “Platinum Sword.'' It has overwhelming stats of +166 physical attack and +92 attribute attack, and is a versatile sword that can handle both physical and elemental attacks.It can be obtained by begging from the “Loyal Guard'' in Atlas Dam Castle, and the success rate is extremely low at 3%. The route is Siatopolis → Valore Forest Road → Atlas Dam Castle Town → Inside the Royal Castle. Avoid the enemies with your escape skill, save on the bed at the entrance of the royal castle, and then take on the challenge. It takes an average of 20 to 30 rerolls to succeed. When equipped, the main character's normal attacks will output mid-level damage, making it possible to wipe out small fry in one turn.

As an example of a combination, equip the exorcism sword to the main swordsman character and the platinum sword to the rear-guard physical role. Combined with the power belt, it achieves a physical attack of over 300. Please note that the speed reduction due to the weight of the platinum sword must be compensated for with speed accessories. In actual combat, this allows you to clear the Frame Grace boss without taking any damage. Player impressions also say that he is a “savior in the early stages.'' If you have these two items, the foundation of your sword party will be rock solid.

3. Super-extraordinary equipment that explodes the attribute firepower of magicians: A thorough guide to the Forbidden Book and Laurel Staff

The “Forbidden Book” and “Laurel Staff”, which hold the fate of scholar jobs and attribute magic characters, will increase the early magic damage by more than 10 times. “Forbidden Book” has non-standard stats of physical attack +130 and attribute attack +390, and also has an attack effect that “in rare cases increases the target's attribute attack.” It has excellent compatibility with the scholar's general magic “Halo of Wisdom”, allowing you to repeatedly fire high firepower while suppressing SP consumption.

You can obtain it by begging from the “Mumbling Old Man” in Flame Grace Central Plaza, with a success rate of 60-70%. Reach it via Ember Glow and save at the church in front of the cathedral. You can get it in 5 to 10 rerolls. The old man is near the cathedral entrance, and the believers around him will also beg for Element Boosters.

“Laurel Staff” is excellent for modifying attribute attack, and can be obtained from a priest in Syatopolis. The status details are that attribute attack is high and strengthens fire and wind attribute magic. The priest is in the temple next to the library, and the success rate of begging is high. Dual equipped with the Forbidden Book and Laurel Staff, one scholar can carry the firepower of the entire party.

As an operational tip, combine with element booster to achieve a total attack of over 600. In the Flame Grace boss fight, it is possible to kill in one turn. The point to note is SP management and having a pharmaceutical book as a sub. We have received many comments from X users saying, “I am unparalleled in magic after getting the forbidden book.'' If you build a magic party with this equipment, elemental weakness hunting will become a winning mode.

4. Stable firepower source for ax/spear jobs: Efficient acquisition and usage of silver axes and silver spears

“Silver Ax” and “Silver Spear”, which support ax and spear users in the early stages, have high accuracy and speed correction and guarantee stable damage. “Silver Ax” has high physical attack and accuracy correction, and can be requested by soldiers near the entrance to Shiatopolis. It has a high success rate and can be obtained simultaneously through the Exorcism Sword route. His stats are around 56 physical attack and + speed.

“Silver Spear” can be purchased (cheaply) at the Ember Glow Arms Shop, and has physical attack 56 and speed +24. You can also beg from the Scarlet Wing Soldiers. It is ideal for hunter and pharmacist jobs, and has strong synergy with skills that inflict status ailments.

The route to get it is: Theatpolis → Ember Glow snowy road (use as an escape) → go straight to the armor shop. Combine them to form an ax and spear party and easily defeat intermediate bosses. If you take the initiative with an emphasis on speed, you will be able to contain the enemy's actions. Use this equipment to diversify your physical abilities and improve your party balance.

5. Essential armor to maximize your survivability: A complete guide to iron armor and shields of fame

“Iron Armor” (Physical Defense +50) and “Famous Shield” (Physical Defense 58, Elemental Defense 58, Speed ​​+31), which increase both physical and magical resistance, are standard for tank roles. Iron Armor can be obtained in bulk by begging from the same Torch Knight as Exorcism Sword. The Shield of a Famous Family can be obtained from the Platinum Sword Guard at a 3% reroll.

When equipped, your durability will increase by 7 times, allowing you to withstand multiple boss attacks. Tanks can preemptively guard by adjusting the shield's speed. As a tip, you can achieve HP +150 by using Kiai Hachimaki together. Effective on all early bosses.

6. Treasure chest equipment that you can get with zero risk: How to find the enchanted dagger and the history of Orustella

“Enchanted Dagger” (Deceiving Dagger, Speed ​​+20, Hit Reduction Effect) can be obtained from the West Valore Forest Treasure Chest (Danger Level 23, avoid by running away). “History of Orsterra'' (Attack 65) can be requested from “Strong Man Studying'' in the Shyatopolis Library.

The dagger is perfect for thief fast attacks, and the book is perfect for scholar subs. The treasure chest route details are Valore West Exit → Go straight on the forest road → Treasure Chest on the left.

7. Ultimate physical/magical reinforcement accessories: How to collect power belts and element boosters

“Power Belt” (Physical + Significant) is an Atlas Dam Castle Treasure Chest. “Element Booster” (Attribute Attack +100) can be requested from Flame Grace Cathedral believers and Atlas Dam Boy. Achieve an attribute attack of over 490 with Forbidden Book + Booster.

The treasure chest is located in the back of the royal castle, and you can respawn at multiple locations.

8. Operation method and training strategy to make full use of the strongest equipment: Summary of complete domination in the early and middle stages

Once you have all the equipment, configure it around the sword + platinum physical part and forbidden scholar magic part. The total reroll time is within 2 hours. Training will be strengthened by hunting Catlin (improved efficiency with equipment) and changing jobs. By utilizing boss weaknesses, it is possible to clear the middle stage at level 10. If you follow this guide, the beginning of Octra 0 will be revolutionized. Put everything into practice and enjoy your unparalleled journey to the fullest.
