[2025 Latest Version]Octopath Travelers 0 Route to complete the strongest party of 7 people in 2 hours! Complete strategy guide[Octra 0 early stage efficient laps]

Octopath Travelers 0, commonly known as Octopath 0, is a new RPG featuring turn-based battles and field commands. This game features a difficulty design that assumes a party of 8 people, and the key to success is to have sufficient strength from the beginning.

In this article, we will provide a detailed step-by-step explanation of the fastest route to collect the seven main characters, Stia, Fenn, Alexia, Macy, Viatre, and Kael'zas within just two hours from the start of the game. If you follow this route, you will be able to get through the early dungeons including the Stone Cave boss with overwhelming firepower and recovery, and get a rocket start to the middle stages.

It covers everything from selecting the seal key to each town's gimmicks, conditions for joining the group, and tips on how to use them in battle. We will explain specific travel routes and important points to keep in mind so that even beginners can proceed without hesitation. Let's start with the optimal settings.

1. The most important step at the start of the game: select the seal key and optimize the main character

On Octra 0's character make screen, you first select your three belongings, job, and learned techniques. If you make a mistake here, the early route will collapse, so we definitely recommend the following settings. First, be sure to select “Seal Key” in the first slot of your inventory. This item is essential for Valore to join Viator, and will save you the trouble of obtaining it later. For the second and third slots, select “Letter Fragment'' and “Ember Mushroom Bed,'' but since these can be obtained as substitutes later, the Seal Key will have the highest priority.

Select “Swordsman” as the job. This is because the swordsman's status is well balanced, and his skills that strengthen his attack power with the “storage” technique in the early stages and lower the enemy's defense are easy to use. The techniques taught prioritize the “secrets of sword techniques'' and solidify the foundation of firepower. The name and appearance of the main character are up to you, but it will not affect performance, so please set it as you like.

When the prologue begins, you will leave Wishveil and head to Snowflake Cave. Fen will temporarily join us here. After clearing the prologue, Stia will officially join the party, and the current members will be the protagonist, Stia, and Fen (temporary). In battle, use the main character's swordsman skills to destroy enemies and raise his level to around 5. At this point, the party's firepower is lacking, but we will strengthen it all at once during the next three city tours.

Please note that the weaknesses of the enemies in the prologue are mainly fire and wind, so aim to break them with the main character's normal attacks. Save up on items and get ready to explore the city before returning to Wishvale. If you do this step correctly, the rest of the route will go smoothly.

2. Fastest route to 3 cities: Secure equipment and Alexia from Theatopolis

From Wishvale, go straight to Theatopolis. The plains enemies along the way are around level 5, so you can ignore them and move at high speed. After arriving at Shiatopolis, use “Sleep” (field command: charm type) on the soldier at the entrance to obtain weapons and armor. As a result, the main character's attack power and defense power will reach the highest level in the early stages. Soldiers can be tried multiple times and have a high success rate, so make sure to stock up on iron swords and leather armor.

Next, move to the library on the west side. When you find Alexia in the library, talk to her and ask for the “Magic Theory Book”. This is the trigger for joining Alexia. Alexia is a scholar job, and is the key to magical firepower that controls lightning magic and darkness magic. The battle ability “Survey Secret” (SP1, discovering enemy weaknesses) is extremely powerful in this game, where conquering weaknesses is essential. He also has “Lightning Magic Ultimate'' (SP12, total lightning damage), “Dark Magic Ultimate'' (SP12, total darkness damage), and “Attribute Defense Breaking Extreme Ultimate'' (SP8, single target damage + attribute defense down for 2 turns), allowing him to instantly defeat early bosses. You can prevent SP from running out with the support ability “Magic Charge Mastery'' (SP recovery after magic), and self-strengthen with “Reminisce'' (elemental attack up for 3 turns). The special move “Ancient Magic” is released at Training Center Grade 2 and deals huge non-elemental damage to all enemies.

After Alexia joins, your party will be made up of the main character, Steer, Fen (temporary), and Alexia, and you will be able to analyze their weaknesses. Please actively use “Ask” the residents of the town to collect additional items. Head south through the Syatopolis Plain, then head to Ember Glow. This patrol takes about 15 minutes and minimizes combat.

3. Ember Glow Strategy: Get Macy to join the recovery staff using herbs that treat weakness.

After arriving at Ember Glow, purchase “Herb for Weakness Treatment” at the tool shop (about a few hundred leaves). Give this to Macy in the inn lobby and move to the patient's house to complete the quest. Macy is a recovery specialist in the Apothecary Job, and can automatically move to the rear and recover HP using “Relief Aid”. It also has an ax attack, making it excellent as a vanguard. The condition for joining is Chapter 1 of the Master of Power, but this route will allow you to respond immediately.

By joining Macy, party recovery will be stabilized. In battle, Alexia's “Search'' will reveal your weak points, and Macy's recovery will ensure your durability. Use “beg'' and “win'' in the city to obtain additional accessories. Many of Ember Glow's enemies have fire attribute weaknesses, so use Alexia's lightning strikes to wipe them out. At this point, the party is down to five people and heads north to Valore. Raise your level to 7-8 and accumulate JP along the way.

4. Completely conquer Valore: Get Viatre with the seal key and Kelzas at the bar at the same time

Arriving in Valore is the highlight of this route. First, go to the tavern in the east area and talk to the poet. Viator will join you when you present the “Sealing Key”. He is a high-firepower swordsman who has the abilities of “provocation,'' “evasion,'' and “elemental counterattack,'' and is also a shield and damage dealer. The “rushing slash” bonus when changing from the rear guard to the front guard is powerful, making it ideal for early stage bosses. The conditions for Master of Wealth Chapter 1 are that if you have the key, you can join immediately.

Next, talk to Kel'zas at the bar in the west area. He is a thief who specializes in speed and progresses through quests by making choices. Demonstrates tank performance with “Incitement” and “Godspeed”, and is good at cutting down shields with Triple Throw and pre-emptive weakening. By joining, the party will be filled with 7 members. Collect equipment from Valore residents by “asking” them and aim for around level 10. As a combat tip, keep Viator stationary in the vanguard and use Kel'zas to down the enemy's hits.

5. Return of Wishveil: Clear Chapter 1 of the Torch, officially join Fenn, and complete a 7-person party

Return to Wishveil from Valore and proceed with “The Torchbearer Chapter 1.” A boss battle will occur in the Snowflake Cave (Stone Cave), but with a party of 7 people, you will be completely unrivaled. Examples of placement are the vanguard (main character, Fen, Alexia, Macy) and the rear guard (Kael'thas, Steer, Viatre). You can instantly break the boss by analyzing weaknesses with Alexia, healing with Macy, provoking with Viator, and weakening with Kel'zas. After clearing Chapter 1, Fen officially joins the group and is a hunter and an archer. It acts as a shield and is highly durable, perfecting the balance of your party.

As a boss gimmick, since there are many general attacks, Macy's range recovery will be repeated. All 7 people will be assembled within 2 hours in total.

6. Strengths and practical use of a 7-person party: Tips for unparalleled early dungeon combat

The strength of this party is the perfect balance of firepower (protagonist Alexia Viator), recovery (Macy), weakness/tank (Kael'thas Fenn), and support (Steer). You can deal with all enemies by discovering their weaknesses, and you can earn JP more efficiently by changing your job to a merchant. The stone cave boss is mainly weak to lightning, so Alexia's big lightning attack can kill it in two turns. You can also clear the plains in front of Ripple Tide at high speed.

As a tip, perform a concentrated attack after the break and use “magic charge” in SP management. Equipment will be strengthened with priority given to swordsmen.

7. Next move: Optimal progression and precautions after this route

After completing the seven characters, advance through the Wealth, Power, and Fame route one chapter at a time, aiming for Tresa and Delitia. There is no need to raise the level excessively. Earn leaves by utilizing the town residents. Please prioritize this route when transferring trial version data.

8. Summary: Clear Octora 0 fastest with 2 hours and 7 people route

This complete route makes the early stages of Octora 0 overwhelmingly more efficient. Firepower, recovery, and support are now available, boss difficulty is drastically reduced, and collection efficiency is greatly increased. Alexia's magic, Viatre's sword, Kael'thas' thief skills, Macy's medicine man, and Fen's hunting completely ruin the early game. Please try it out and experience the rocket start.
