[Octopath Traveler 0]The ultimate strategy guide to get all types of veteran weapons as quickly as possible! Master the books with low-level divine secrets & optimal formation and completely conquer all NPCs including men[Completely compatible with beginners]

Octopath Traveler 0 is an epic RPG set on the vast continent of Orstella. In this game, the series' traditional strongest equipment called veteran weapons dramatically improves the player's fighting power. There are eight types of battle-tested weapons: swords, spears, daggers, axes, bows, staffs, books, and fans, each with extremely high attack power and special effects. For example, the veteran sword boasts +400 physical attack power and +150 critical rate, and further strengthens the power of physical abilities as an equipment effect. By preparing these weapons early, you can secure an overwhelming advantage from small fry battles in the early stages to strong enemies in the late stages.

However, obtaining veteran weapons is not easy. Each weapon is possessed by a specific powerful NPC and must be won using the field command “Win”. These NPCs have a danger level of around Lv60, have huge HP and powerful attack patterns, and have a recommended level of 40 or higher. In particular, this type of “man who masters books'' is a magic-specialized type that lurks in the Theatpolis library, and his counterattack magic called Inferno Book Throw is deadly. If you take on the challenge without preparation, you are bound to be wiped out, but in this guide we will thoroughly explain how to conquer low levels by making full use of divine secrets and optimal formations. It can be practiced immediately after clearing the prologue, and all types can be obtained within 3 hours of total play time. We will provide detailed preparation routes and combat procedures so that even beginners can proceed step by step.

Complete list of veteran weapons and performance details: Get a complete picture of the strongest equipment in the early stages

In order to maximize the value of veteran weapons, we will first take a detailed look at the performance of all eight types. These weapons far exceed normal Lv60 weapons, and have attractive equipment effects such as increasing attribute power and inflicting status abnormalities. It is most efficient to start with the physical systems (swords, spears, daggers, axes) and leave the magic systems (bows, staffs, books, fans) for later.

weapon name	physical attack power	Attribute attack power	special parameters	Equipment/attack effect details
battle-tested sword	+400	–	Critical +150	Physical ability power +. It is the core firepower of a sword user.
veteran spear	+390	–	Critical +148	Adds darkness in rare cases. Excellent compatibility with spear multi-stage attack.
Battle-tested dagger	+380	–	Evasion +120	Rarely reduced accuracy. Great for bandit evasion builds.
battle-tested ax	+350	+250	–	Ice/lightning attribute power +. It is an ax physical and attribute hybrid.
battle-tested bow	+390	–	Critical +120	Rarely reduces physical defense. It is a standard for rear guard firepower.
veteran staff	+212	+399	–	Rarely reduced speed. Required for scholar magic attackers.
book of battle history	+198	+418	–	All attribute attack power +. This is the ultimate weapon of real magic.
veteran fan	+362	+382	–	Evasion reduced in rare cases. Ideal for dancer support and attack.

These weapons can be obtained 100% by defeating NPCs, but you can also aim for low-probability drops by “drawing in'' when going around. If you get it early on, the attack power of the entire party will more than double, so it should be your top priority.

Selection of important characters to stabilize the battle history at a low level: Let's follow the golden rule of role division

Veteran NPCs have HP of over 350,000 to 400,000 and can repeatedly attack with powerful physical magic. The key to conquering low levels (Lv30-40) is forming “role-specific characters”. The five essential characters are explained below.

1. Alexia (scholar: main firepower)

   Ancient magic allows for non-attribute, high-power attacks. Stably outputs 40,000 to 60,000 damage when breaking. Strengthen all attributes with attribute attack proficiency secret. If you join in the early stages (Torch Route Chapter 1), you will be able to use it immediately.

2. Fen (Hunter: Mitigation & Break)

   Achieve overall damage reduction with the Shield of Hope. Cuts counterattack magic by 50% and ensures safe turns. Break support with a bow ax is also excellent. By joining Prologue, you will be permanently enrolled.

3. Hydne (?: Debuff specialist)

   Offense Down Defense Down suppresses enemy firepower defense. Overwrites enemy attribute up and drastically reduces damage taken. Achieve immediate annihilation by running out of offense down.

4. Steer (Priest: Recovery & Support)

   Full recovery allows you to rebuild after counterattacking. We will achieve automatic BP/SP recovery with full support. Strengthen vanguard support with rear guard deployment. He is a stable member of Prologue.

5. Main character Kelzas (Auxiliary: secret supply & SP management)

   We offer BP accommodation using the secrets of BP trading. You can earn JP with Lucky Arrow at the same time. Speed ​​adjustment provides first-time support.

Alternative characters: Laurana (reduction alternative), Viator (physical firepower sub). This completes an iron-clad party that can handle both physical and magic.

Essential tactics for battles with experienced bosses: Master the basic tactics to avoid counterattacks

The common gimmicks of veteran NPCs are “high-firepower single-shot multi-stage attacks” and “counterattack actions.” The following is a summary of tactics to avoid destruction due to reckless attacks.

1. Turn management principle: Attack only on the turn in which the Shield of Hope is deployed. When the shield is out, focus on defense debuffs.
2. Break priority: Destroy the shield with Alexia's ancient magic. During the break, over 40,000 damage will be dealt repeatedly.
3. Debuff always maintained: Hydne's offense down reduces enemy attack power by 30%. Increases self-fire power by 20% when defense is down.
4. SP/BP circulation: Infinite rotation with Steer full support + hero BP trading. It is essential to reduce SP consumption by half.
5. Speed ​​adjustment: Ensure the order of support → firepower → recovery with accessories. Achieve safe firepower by firing from the rear.

Practical example: A man who masters books. HP 370,000, weakness unknown but physical triple. Achieve victory for 20 turns with the opening shield of hope → offense down → ancient magic break → total recovery loop.
