Before Agnea heads to the Grand Gala, she has an important personal stop to make in ♈the western city of Sai, where she might learn more about the mother who left her all too early in life. These revelations will introduce a brand-new character well worth following on their own adventure, whilst supplying us with more information on the infamously famous Dolcinaea than we might have expected to receive.
It's 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Octopath Traveler 2's fourth Agnea chapter out of five, and the stakes for Agnea's upcoming performance will feel much higher at chapter's end than its beginning. Let's get dancing, folks.
Town Phase: Sai
Welcome (back) to Sai, since by this point we presume you've likely been here at least once already. But hey, if not? Be sure to do the usual - 'Inquire'/'Scrutinize' people for their information and hidden items. 'Entreat'/'Steal'/'Mug' them for all they're worth. The usual.
In fact, note our second screenshot in this phase for the location of one of the game's best items, the Elemental Augmentor. Entreat that guy with Agnea at Level 25 or higher - should be cake at this point, really - and you'll gain an accessory that hugely buffs a party member's Elemental Attack. Osvald's the prime choice.
After the introductory scene, head east and Agnea spots the statue. She dances practically on instinct, of course; then we're introduced to Laila, a kid with a real chip on her shoulder.
Our first order of business is to head to Platt's House in the eastern of Sai's two screens. Here, we'll be introduced to their makeshift orphanage, and we'll learn more about Laila as well. Alas, a woman named Veronica soon arrives to remind the townsfolk that Sai's getting paved over in favor of a theme park. Not exactly subtle, Octopath writing, but we get where you're going.
Return to the statue to reunite with Laila. After the scene, our goal is to find her new shoes. You'll find these via 'Entreat' when you speak with an old man standing outside the town weapon shop on the western screen. Return to Laila once again with them.
We'll learn quite a bit about Dolcinaea here with these upcoming flashbacks, after which we'll hear from the superstar herself. Time to head to Dragonridge and give her a piece of Agnea's capable mind.
Dungeon Phase: Dragonridge
As per usual, we suggest advancing through this dungeon at nighttime with Throné's 'Blessing of Shadows' and Temenos' own enemy-debuffing talents in tow. Thi🅠s should do the double deed of increasing the challenge of your foes, thus improving experience and monetary rewards, whilst simultaneously giving you an advantage over them despite their increased strength, hastening the fights.
Dragonridge's several treasure chests all include pretty standard-issue healing items and level-appropriate armor pieces. Nothing in the range of that Elemental Augmentor from earlier. But in Octopath Traveler tradition, neither is this dungeon exactly filled with twists and turns, so the few detours needed to grab everything the eye can see should leave you in fighting shape for what's to come.
The monster weaknesses you see above are the most common in the dungeon, so bring folks along who can handle these and you'll be in great shape. Agnea herself is capable of dealing with the Daggers and Wind even without a secondary class to increase her output.
Boss Phase: Veronica
Showdown time. Veronica is weak to Daggers, Axes, Fire, Ice, and Darkness. She has a relatively modest six Shield Points, too. In essence, she doesn't present herself as much of a threat - and therein lies her true strength.
For the first half of the battle, things will likely remain quite casual for you. Once she hits half HP or so, however, Veronica will begin to take several turns at once, with an uptick in her damage output and an increased likelihood of hitting multiple targets at once. Proper preparation for this twist can make the d🍨ifference between victory and defeat.
After you've shaved off several thousand HP, be sure to keep your BP maxed with your full party from thereon out, chipping away at Veronica's HP while she's still not much of a threat rather than going all out against her and losing your advantage for later. When she begins her assault, Agnea should tap into her latent power to use Dance on everyone for as many turns as possible to provide ample buffs.
Meanwhile, your more attack-oriented characters should go ham with strikes like Brand's Blade, Hired Help, and whatever you can muster that targets Veronica's weak points. Again, the ticket to winning this fight (and indeed this chapter) is to never underestimate what Veronica can do when she's backed into a corner. Leghold Trap is another excellent aid, lowering he꧑r sheer magnitude of hits toward the end.
