[Complete walkthrough of Octra 0 trial version]9 types of strongest equipment to take over in 3 hours & thorough explanation of Alexia joining route! How to gain an overwhelming advantage in the early stages of the product version[Octopath Traveler 0]

The trial version of Octopath Traveler 0, commonly known as Octora 0, is a free demo version that was released just before the release of the product version. Although this trial version allows you to play within strictly 3 hours of in-game time, it is possible to completely carry over your save data to the retail version. Transferable elements include the main character's level, equipment, items, companion character participation status, and progress level. By making effective use of the trial version, you can get a much better advantage over other players in the early stages of the retail version. In particular, if you prioritize securing the strongest class equipment and the powerful magic attacker Alexia that can be obtained from the important base of Shiatopolis, you will have a complete military force at the start of the product version and can run through the story in an unrivaled state.

The time count for the trial version starts from the moment the main character's character makeup screen opens. Time continues to advance even on the menu screen or while saving and loading, so be careful. We recommend that you thoroughly enjoy the story the first time you play, but if you want to have the best handover, use skips from the second play onwards and focus on pure efficiency. When selecting the main character's influence, it is best to choose “Fame”. This is because the success rate of the “beg” command, which is the key to this strategy, will be greatly improved. Begging can obtain powerful equipment with zero resource consumption, so fame influence is the key to the early stages.

1. Route with the highest priority on time efficiency: Techniques for reaching Shiatopolis in 1 hour and overall preparation

Immediately after the trial version starts, you will meet Stia in the prologue Wish Veil, and your journey to rebuild your hometown will begin. The moment you are able to move freely, don't hesitate and head northeast towards Theatopolis. The goal is to reach within 1 hour from the start of play. If you take this route, you will not be able to collect treasure chests or join allies in the remaining time, and your transfer strength will be drastically reduced. First, pass through Valore and head north to the North Cyatopolis Plain. Aim to break the small enemies along the way with Steer's architect skill and quickly defeat them. In battle, maximize your break bonus and increase your experience point efficiency.

The priority order when collecting treasure chests along the way is as follows. On Valore Avenue, obtain “Hayate Clothes” (speed +22, body armor) by “purchasing” from “Dancer Who Lives Strongly”. Equipping this to the main character will stabilize the order of action. In addition, you can also secure the “Spirit Headband” (maximum HP +150, Physical Defense/Elementary Defense +37) by “purchasing” from the “Strong Mafia”. Obtain the “Protective Cufflinks'' (Physical Defense/Attribute Defense +20) by “Begging'' from the “Old Man Who Knows the Horror of Snow'' in Ember Glow East Street. This will solidify your early defense.

Use save points frequently. You can also get 3% equipment in a short period of time by repeating the rerolling process in Title Road. Avoid “improving relationships” at the bar as it consumes 1000 leaves and is inefficient. During the lap, clear the prologue within 10 minutes by skipping the journey record. We recommend the main character's job to be a swordsman (physical stability) or a scholar (Alexia synergy). What I learned through training is the “secret of counterattack” (50% counterattack when hit by physical bullets), which is the best general purpose. It is not uncommon for counterattack damage to exceed 1000 when equipped with an exorcism sword.

After reaching the destination in 1 hour using this route, you will have 2 hours left to collect all your equipment and join Alexia. When searching for treasure chests, don't forget to collect the “Poison Healing Herb” on the second floor of Theapolis Inn and the flower garden next to the Grand Theater. Sidequests take a lot of time, so I'll postpone them until later.

2. How to obtain silver axe and large helm that increase firepower: Complete guide to entrance soldiers

After arriving at Theapolis, go straight to the “soldier guarding the entrance” at the city entrance. This NPC has a high chance of begging (approximately 54% for silver axe, approximately 23% for large helm), and you can obtain it with a high probability without needing a reset. Silver Ax is an ax weapon with an exceptional performance of +43 physical attack and +12 accuracy. Kills small fry in the early stages with a single blow and dramatically improves break speed. Large Helm provides good defensive value on head armor and increases physical durability. Equipping both will increase the hero's firepower and survival rate.

The begging procedure is as follows. Talk to the soldier and select Beg. The success pattern will randomly appear from among the secrets of helmet splitting (sword damage + physical defense down 2T), silver axe, and large helm. If it fails, the title will be loaded immediately. In most cases, it takes 5 to 10 times. The secret of helmet splitting is also excellent as a select ability, so we recommend acquiring all of them. With this equipment, you can easily defeat the strong enemies of Valore Morimichi. As a comparison, the store-bought Iron Ax (physical attack +24) has less than half the performance. After equipping the Silver Ax, it becomes realistic to reach level 10 by hunting small fish immediately.

For example, when facing 3 enemies, you can use Silver Ax to break first. If you use break bonus JP to strengthen your abilities, your SP turnover rate will improve. Large helm reduces damage taken by 30%. This firepower comes in handy during the early boss battles of the product version, and you can deal 800 damage with just normal attacks. To avoid mistakes, be sure to ask first instead of passing through the entrance.

3. How to break through the strongest exorcism sword and iron armor with low probability in the early stages: Torch Knight Reroll Complete Manual

Next, head to the “Torch Knight from the Garrison” in the Zhongtun area. The chance of begging is extremely low (3%), but the reward is god-level. Exorcism Sword is a sword weapon, physical attack +68, evasion +17, and in rare cases it gives enemy attribute attack down. With the highest physical firepower in the early stages, you can always deal 1000 damage. Iron armor is body armor and has +50 physical defense (7 times that of rubber armor). This will make your role as a tank an impregnable one.

The reroll method is as follows. Save at the save point nearby and then ask. If it fails or only one side is loaded, load the title. After loading, you will go straight to the knight (about 30 seconds). You can get both within 30 minutes at a pace of 10 times a minute. Requires fame influence and increases success rate by 1.5 times. After obtaining it, equip the exorcism sword to the main swordsman and the iron armor to the vanguard. Increases evasion rate by 30% in battle, reduces attribute attack and neutralizes magical enemies.

As a usage example, it is perfect for preparing before a library battle. After the break, normal attacks will remove 30% of the boss's HP. It has the same firepower as the store-bought Great Sword (Physical Attack 65), but has additional effects that surpass it. Please note that improving bar relations is a waste of money, so please do not do so. If successful, we recommend immediate verification.

4. History of Magical Warriors Alustella & Secrets of Double Bash: Library Tough Man Strategy

Ask the “strong man who studies'' in the library. History of Orsterra (Book: Physical Attack +25, Attribute Attack +65) greatly increases scholar magic firepower. With Alexia equipment, total lightning damage exceeds 1300. The secret of Double Bash is that it can deal huge damage repeatedly. 3% chance, you can get it from the same save as the Exorcism Sword and directly from the library (from 20 to 40 times).

As for performance details, attribute attack +65 is 3 times that of the store-bought book. Excellent compatibility with low SP all-hit magic. As a battle example, you can wipe out 3 small fry with a large torpedo attack and double the JP efficiency. It will play an active role until the middle of the product version. Fine quills are also a useful by-product. As a mistake, please go directly without touching other NPCs before entering the library.

5. Completed magic attacker: Laurel staff & silver claw + Alexia added

Request from the library “Priest who loves reading'' (Laurel Staff 53%, Silver Jewelry 63%). Laurel staff (staff: physical attack +24, attribute attack +52), silver ornament (head: MaxSP +10, physical defense +10, attribute defense +18). It is highly likely to be available immediately.

Next, after talking with Alexia (scholar), obtain the “Alexia Magic Treatise'' and join immediately. These are lightning magic/dark magic (SP12 overall), great magic (SP33 twice), and deadly ancient magic (non-attribute extra large overall).

Fully equipped Alexia has Orstella + Laurel + Silver Decoration and her attribute attack is over 200 and damage is 1500. Support “Magic Charge” makes SP permanent. The party composition is perfect with the main character swordsman + Steer + Alexia.

6. Absolutely avoidable traps & additional high reward battle strategies: Compatible with 2 types of scholars

Library “The Man Who Mastered Books'' (Lv60) will die instantly in battle, so please never talk to him. It is recommended that you win “Harsh-tongued Scholar” (Lv9). The reward is a speed-enhancing nut, an old grimoire (Attack +23 speed +18), and the secret to summoning lightning. Alexia's entire body is scraped with magic and the exorcism sword breaks. Please prepare 5 large recovery grapes and level 12 or higher.

Upon victory, distribute speed + nuts to all characters and control the order of actions.

7. Summary: Complete start dash for the product version & additional tips

Secure 9 types (Silver Axe, Large Helm, Exorcism Sword, Iron Armor, Orstella, Double Bash, Laurel, Silver Decoration, Secret Class) using the above steps. Joining Alexia will make both magic and physics compatible. The product version will start at the same level as level 20. Other tips include collecting all treasure chests (hats, etc.), postponing side quests, and completing the quest 5 times. If you follow this guide, you can make full use of the 3 hours of the trial version and dramatically accelerate your adventures with the full version. Please enjoy your best start.
