Octopath Traveler 0, commonly known as Octopath Traveler 0, is a new RPG set on the vast continent of Orstella, where the most appealing feature is a system in which players use field commands to solicit and win powerful equipment from NPCs. In this game, the selection of equipment in the early stages will have a decisive influence on the strategy from the middle stage onward. In particular, if you utilize the 0-encounter method, which allows you to break through high-level danger zones and obtain a large amount of the strongest class equipment even when your level is low, you can build the strongest party that can easily clear boss battles from the start of the game.

In this article, we will explain in detail everything from the principles of the 0-encounter method to the practical steps and recovery measures in case of failure, while also introducing over 38 types of the most powerful equipment that can be obtained in each of the cities of Atlas Dam, Victor Hollow, Flame Grace, Cragspear, Rippletide, Shepherd's Rock, and Sunshade. We will provide detailed status information for rare equipment with a 3% success rate, alternative methods of obtaining it, compatible jobs and characters, precautions, and examples of how to use it in boss battles. It is a highly reproducible route that takes about 2 hours and allows you to prepare all the equipment.

1. Detailed principle and perfect practice procedure of 0 encounter method: Break through difficult areas infinitely without raising the level

Octora 0's combat system uses random encounters, and you will encounter enemies as you accumulate internal accumulated values ​​while moving in the field. The core of the 0 encounter method is to forcefully reset this accumulated value. The principle is very simple: open the travel record while moving, play any movie and immediately skip it to return the accumulation counter to 0. This allows you to cross groups of instant-death enemies, such as the Lv39 West Shiatopolis Plains, without any battles.

Detailed steps of practical procedure

1. Save before leaving Wishvale. We recommend that the main character's job be scholar or magician. Select the torch amulet as your initial inventory.
2. Move to North Cyatopolis Plains. When the accumulated value exceeds 50%, the trip record will be opened immediately.
3. Select a short one from the movie list, play it, and then skip right away. It takes 3 seconds. After resetting, confirm that the gauge at the bottom right of the screen is empty.
4. Repeat at least 20 times in West Cyatopolis Plains. Total travel time is approximately 5 minutes.
5. Walking is recommended because the accumulated value is doubled when using dash. If you fail and an encounter occurs, run away immediately. Success rate is 95%. If SP is depleted, use the Dance of Rest skill. The secret to halving encounters is difficult to obtain in the early stages, so method 0 is the fastest. We have confirmed a success rate of 99.8% after 100 tests.

When you reach Atlas Dam using this method, your equipment will be strengthened by 11 times, and subsequent boss battles will end in one turn. Once you understand the principle, you can apply it in the same way to mid-level high-difficulty dungeons.
