[Octopath Travelers 0]Complete guide to Rayme! A thorough guide from how to obtain to joining boss battles, strongest equipment, and party formation[Octra 0]

Reime, a hidden character in Octopath Travelers 0 (hereinafter referred to as Octora 0), is a pure physical attacker with the swordsman job, and his single firepower is overwhelming. His backstory as an undefeated swordsman from an eastern country is also appealing, and after joining, he is so successful that he wipes out the bosses in the end content.

In this article, we will comprehensively explain everything from the conditions for obtaining Rayme, detailed strategies for joining boss battles, full explanations of abilities, the strongest build, and party composition examples. We will proceed step by step so that even beginners can definitely recruit Reime and build the strongest party.

1. Reime's charm and basic profile

Reime is a swordsman who becomes your friend at the end of Octora 0, and uses swords and spears as weapons. According to his profile, “He is a swordsman from a far eastern country who prides himself on being undefeated in the east. He came to Orustella in search of a strong man and rose from poverty with just his sword skills, so he places absolute value on strength.'' The voice actor is Shizuka Ishigami, whose cool and powerful voice perfectly fits the image of the character.

Reime's biggest appeal is its super high firepower, which is specialized for single targets. It has an abundance of multi-hit attacks, and the follow-up attack after the break can quickly reduce the shield, and the special move “Higan Renba” deals sword damage 6 times, and when combined with the damage limit break, it can also do 99999 x 6 romantic-class damage. The support ability “occasionally does not consume BP” has excellent BP efficiency, and can provide stable firepower even in long battles. He has an overall rating of S+, a top class attacker, and a B rating as a supporter.

The basic status is high physical attack power and modest HP, but depending on the equipment you can supplement your survivability. The recommended joining level is around 60, but the performance is enough to melt even the last boss in the final stage. Many players have commented that “Reime is strange'' and “the bosses are melting'', and he has been praised as a must-have character by the Trojans.

The value of having Rayme as an ally is immeasurable, especially for players who specialize in single bosses. We will take a closer look at the path to obtaining it in the next chapter.

2. Prerequisite for obtaining Rayme: How to clear all chapters of “The Bestower of Wealth”

The first barrier to obtaining Rayme is to clear all chapters of the main story's “Giver of Wealth'' route. This route is a merchant-related story that revolves around Victor Hollow. Clearing Chapter 3 will be the trigger, and the subquest “Encounter with Reime” will be released.

How to proceed with “The Bestower of Wealth” is as follows. Break through the bosses of each chapter while increasing the main character's influence “power”. In the first chapter, you will gather information at the merchant guild in Victor Hollow, in the second chapter you will uncover a conspiracy, and in the third chapter you will defeat the final boss, “The Master of Wealth''. Each boss has high shield durability and multi-attack jobs (swordsman, hunter, etc.) are effective. The recommended level is around 40 to 55 for each chapter, but aim for level 60 or higher in order to obtain Reime.

Please note that when clearing the stage, your party will be strengthened if you proceed with other routes (e.g. “Things that Light the Torch”) in parallel. It is efficient to increase EXP with resident abilities. After clearing all chapters, the quest flag will be automatically set, but please visit Victor Hollow Old Town to confirm. Players have also commented on their experiences, saying, “It's hard to clear all the wealth routes, but it's worth it for Reime.''

Once you clear this premise, the next step is the actual side quest. In preparation, prepare axes, fans, and lightning weapons, and strengthen your defensive accessories.

3. Conditions and initial progress of the subquest “Encounter with Reime”

After clearing Chapter 3 of “The Bestower of Wealth,” a quest will occur when you talk to the client “DeVecchio” in Victor Hollow Old Town (old bar in the southwestern part of the map) in the Woodland region. Recommended level is 60, reward is increase in power influence and joining Rayme.

Initial progression is simple:

• Enter the old bar and talk to DeVecchio.
• Go to the underground arena, talk to DeVecchio again, and participate in the fight.

From here, the trial equivalent to 23 consecutive battles begins, but the quest consists of 3 bosses: Alligator, Balanga, and Chirritta + Reime. The consecutive battles do not progress automatically, but return to DeVecchio after each victory, so you can retry with a save in between. To prepare, fill up all recovery items and BP recovery medicine, and raise your party level to 65 or higher.

If you cannot confirm that the quest has occurred, please check the progress of other routes or try logging in again. This step is relatively easy, but it gets serious in the next series.

4. Strategy for underground arena series (Alligator, Balanga, Chirlitta)

The underground arena is a testing ground for joining Rayme, and three boss battles await. After defeating each boss, return to DeVecchio and proceed to the next one. Overall recommended level 65 or higher, multi-stage shield sharpening is the key.

alligator battle

Although it has high HP, it is comparable to field enemies. A short-term decisive battle with a high-power single attack (e.g. Fury Strike). The weak points are mainly axes and spears, and around 10 shields. It's an easy win because there are no henchmen.

Balanga match

Including 3 henchmen, shield is 13. Since their HP is low, you can wipe them all out with “Dashing Arrows” and “Shots all at once.” No need to break, aiming for immediate defeat. Be careful of magic range attacks and prepare for column recovery.

Chirlitta match

With shield 24, magic range attacks are a threat. Prioritize the destruction of their entourage and wipe them out with the “Doshaburi Arrow”. As a dry run for the Reime battle, we will practice firing from behind.

If you clear these, the Reime battle will be unlocked. During consecutive battles, thoroughly manage BP and utilize Primrose's Dance of Rest. Many players have said, “It's exhausting after a series of battles, but I can endure it for Reime.''

5. Thorough strategy for boss battles with Reime and countermeasures against gimmicks

The biggest challenge is the main battle of Reime. HP approximately 440,000, shield 29, weaknesses: axe, fan, lightning. The recommended level is 70, and the gimmick “counterattack against weak points” is the biggest enemy.

Gimmick details

• “Counterattack against weak points”: A counterattack that steals SP/BP by directly hitting a weak point. It does not respond to counterattack-type abilities (counterattack stance, rear fire).
• Mainly physical + dark attribute attack. Be careful of “Higan Renba/Mushin” when BP is at maximum.

Countermeasure party example (vanguard 3: Ophelia, Macy, Espel / rearguard 3: Primrose, protagonist, Saoirse)

• Vanguard: Everyone is equipped with “parry” (Viator Abi) to negate physical attacks. Sharpen the shield in a counterattack stance.
• Rear guard: Shoot safely with rear fire (axe/fan). Saoirse's Divine Poem paralyzes + firepower.
• Debuff: Increases damage taken from poison removal and miasma infection. During the break, endure with the shield of hope.
• Short-term decisive battle: Wipe out the shield with the secret of the Great Slash Roaring and then unleash a series of angry blows.

Player comments: “I had a hard time at level 60, but I was able to get through it with parrying and firing from behind.'' “My HP is low, so I can push through with firepower.'' Dark resistance accessories are required, and long-term battles are possible by avoiding breaks. I will join Reime with the victory!

6. Detailed explanation of Reime's abilities, support abilities, and special moves

We will thoroughly explain the performance of Rayme after joining. Customization is free with many abilities that can be made secret.

Battle ability (power/SP efficiency increased by becoming secret)

• Double slash (SP8): Two sword attacks. It's a basic single attack.
• Handle (SP9): Weapon selection + physical defense down 2T.

• Double thrust (SP8): 2 spears.
• Returning Tachi (SP14): 2 physical counters to directly cut the shield.

• It is foldable (multi-step power UP during break).
• Physical attack +50.
• Attack refinement (slightly increases special gauge by hitting weak points).

Special move: Higan Renblade

6 swords. At Lv3, it is inevitable that it will be defeated.

The monster arena EXP will increase greatly with the resident Abi “Troubling Blood”. All are specialized in single firepower, and the break operation is divine.

7. Strongest equipment configuration and recommended party formation example

Reime's strongest build is multi-stage + limit breaking emphasis.

Equipment example

• Weapons: A rampaging sword (twice in total) + a battle-tested spear (multi-stage). Sub: It's a nail that can be completed at once.
• Accessories: Breaking the damage limit, boost boost, extra large physical attack nuts.
• Select Abi: The secret to boost boost enhancement.
• What to bring: Immortal Olive, the secret to permanent physical improvement.

Party composition example (single boss specialization)

• Reime (main firepower) + Primrose (BP/rest) + Delitia (poison/rear) + Viator (parry/durability).
• Alternative: Specializes in shielding with Hanit (rear ax).

There are 599994 reports of damage caused by players using “Personal Attack Nuts to Rayme''. It is possible to hit a veteran NPC.

8. Practical usage methods and summary of Reime

In actual combat, the loop of shield scraping with Arashizuki's sword → break → Higan Renba is a must. It is possible to damage more than 100,000 with Primrose Four Warriors. It is unparalleled in the end content (hidden bosses, monster arena), and has excellent EXP efficiency. Torokon's “weakest secret boss ever''.

In summary, Reime is extremely valuable if you clear the strict acquisition conditions. You will join the group by clearing all the wealth routes → quests → consecutive battles → breaking through the boss. As the strongest single attacker, he will revolutionize Octra 0's journey. Take on the challenge right away and run through Orustella with Reime. If you follow this guide, you are sure to succeed.
