[Octra 0]100% stable defeat of Bourgeois Catlin! The strongest strategy guide to efficiently go around 7,800 experience points & 120,000 leaves

In Octopath Travelers 0, commonly known as Octora 0, Bourgeois Catlyn is a dream come true for players. This extremely rare enemy has a low appearance rate, a high evasion rate, and the risk of running away the first time, but if you defeat it, you will receive an extraordinary reward of approximately 7,800 experience points and approximately 120,000 leaves. It is truly a golden catch that solves the problem of leveling up and making money in the early to mid-game at once.

This guide will thoroughly explain everything from selecting spawn locations to party formation, detailed battle procedures, equipment optimization, and tips for going around. If you practice this, anyone will be able to reliably collect their rewards. If you are a player whose development of Octra 0 is stagnant, please try this method.

1. The extraordinary charm of Bourgeois Catlin's threats and rewards

Bourgeois Catlin has a performance that is significantly different from normal Catlin species. It has a high HP of around 70 to 80, has a shield point of 4, and has an extremely high evasion rate against physical attacks, so normal attacks can't do much damage to it. There is also a gimmick where you have a 50% chance of escaping on your first move, and even if you get into a battle, it becomes even easier to escape in a long battle. To deal with this enemy, special skills and role sharing are essential.

The attractiveness of rewards is immeasurable. If you successfully defeat it, you will receive approximately 7,800 experience points, approximately 120,000 leaves, and a large amount of JP. This is more than 10 times more valuable than normal enemies of the same level, and is efficient enough to raise the entire party's level by 1 to 2. Even if you run away, you can secure about 3900 experience points and about 60,000 leaves by using the merchant skill Business Negotiation at full boost. Due to its low risk and high reward, it is a top hunting target for players around level 30. This compensation structure positions Bourgeois Catlin as one of the best training routes for Octra0.

2. Optimal appearance location and efficient route to increase encounter rate

Encounters with Bourgeois Catlin tend to depend on luck, but choosing specific areas can greatly improve your efficiency. The main place of appearance is the dungeon “Ice Dragon's Mouth” southeast of North Reach in the Frostland region. There is a high possibility that multiple Catlin species will appear at the same time here, and the recommended level is around 40. They will appear randomly throughout the field, but areas with a danger level of 30 to 40 are the best targets. In particular, the South Crested Road and East Catalina Plains are suitable for continuous hunting, as they are easy to reset, and other catlin species are also mixed in.

Here are some tips to maximize encounter efficiency: First, use the field skill decoy to increase the encounter rate. Next, we will introduce a reset strategy that repeatedly loads near the save point. We aim to keep the time for each round within 1 minute and encounter at least 5 bodies per hour. The appearance rate is low, around 1%, but if you repeat these routes, you can encounter them consistently. There is also a chance that all three will appear at the same time in the Ice Dragon's Mouth, accelerating the accumulation of rewards.

3. Complete analysis of status, weaknesses, and gimmicks

Understanding Bourgeois Catlin's status will solidify the foundation of your strategy. HP is around 80, shield is 4, and weak attributes are swords, daggers, axes, and staffs. The attack pattern is centered around single-target physical attacks, but the biggest drawback is that the high evasion makes it difficult for attacks to pass through. As a gimmick, the first move escape rate is 50%, and the escape risk increases depending on your actions in subsequent turns. Magic attacks are effective because they are guaranteed to hit, but a short, physically-based decisive battle is ideal.

Due to these characteristics, accurate hit skills and behavioral control are key. By combining defense down and BP supply with a critical arrow that has no evasion, it is possible to defeat it within 2 to 3 turns. Don't forget to prepare equipment to exploit weak points.

4. Detailed explanation of required skill structure and each role

The following skills are absolutely necessary for stable defeat.

• Critical Arrow: A guaranteed hit attack for hunter jobs. It deals great damage with no evasion and is the main force for attackers.
• Sticky Thread: Action delay skill for thief-type jobs. Drive the enemy to the end.
• Intimidation: Reduces the defense power of warrior jobs. I will definitely increase the firepower.
• BP passer: BP supply for merchant jobs. Strengthen the attacker with multiple people.
• Business negotiation: Insurance in case of escape. Secure half the reward with a full boost.

The roles will be divided into 1 attacker, 1 to 2 BP suppliers, and 2 obstruction supports. By placing multiple BP passers, you can activate a full boost critical arrow from the first move. If even one of these skills is missing, the procedure will collapse.

5. Examples of realistic recommended party formations

I will introduce an example of a composition that can be assembled from the beginning to the middle.

• Attacker: Kael'thas (Hunter) – Fires a series of critical arrows. High bow firepower.
• BP Supply: Rudo (Merchant) – Responsible for business negotiations with BP passers.
• Obstruction 1: Protagonist (Thief Job Change) – Controlled by sticky thread.
• Interference 2: Viator (Warrior) – Applies a debuff with intimidation.

As an alternative, you can replace Tresa with the role of a merchant and Ozmar with the role of a warrior. Take the initiative by adjusting equipment to equalize speed. For support abilities, prioritize BP saving and SP recovery, and strengthen long-term resistance. This formation can be used from around level 30.

6. Complete step-by-step guide to defeating

We will explain in detail the steps to take when starting a battle.

1. First move: All BP passer players concentrate BP on the attacker. Activate critical arrow at the 1st boost stage and deal initial damage.
2. Enemy turn control: Push enemy actions to the end with sticky threads. It overlays intimidation and greatly reduces defense.
3. 2nd turn: Resupply BP and finish with a full boost critical arrow. Reduces HP.
4. Insurance: If you fail, you will receive a full boost for immediate business negotiations to secure escape rewards.

This process achieves a success rate of over 99%. Please do not neglect speed adjustment and thoroughly manage SP.

7. Recommended equipment/abilities and enhancement priorities

Carefully select equipment that increases firepower and stability.

• Attacker: Equip a high attack bow (e.g. Forbidden Great Bow) and an accessory that increases the chance of success. Adds the ability to increase SP recovery speed.
• BP Supply: Equip BP saving accessories and speed buff equipment.
• Obstruction: Equipped with accessories that increase accuracy and decrease defense.

The priority is firepower > SP management > speed. Encounter-up accessories will also improve your encounter rate.

8. Maximization of circulation efficiency and summary

This loop route allows you to earn experience points, leaves, and JP at the same time. Over 40,000 experience points and over 600,000 leaves are possible per hour. If you have a stable composition, your party will grow faster in a short period of time. Hunting Bourgeois Catlin, which is the key to training Octora 0, is the strongest method to blow away the difficult battles in the early stages. Please visit the locations where they appear and follow the instructions. I am confident that your adventure will progress rapidly.
