Octopath Traveler 2 - Those Who Deny the Dawn

Vide: “You can’t defeat me”

Partitio: “Oh I know… but they can.”

FOREIGN ASSASSINS

[GameAW]

I fucking SCREAMED when I saw I can use everyone at the same time! Finally, an RPG that lets you use the entire party all at once, no strings attached when it matters the most in-game!

One of my favorite aspects of Vide is how she has her arms crossed, believing the 8 travelers are beneath her. However, after struggling with them, her sprite shifts to a more angered expression, knowing these 8 must be dealt with properly. By that time, it's too late for her.

"The final battle begins..."

"You can use the 8 travelers by changing teams with ZR (I'm playing it on Switch)"

Me watching Hikari (my starter): We started this, AND WE'LL END IT!

[gamerprince-tlhg]

This boss was so fucking raw. Loved the mechanic of using all 8 travelers.

BEST FIGHT IN THE FRANCHISE I TELL YOU

[medmax]

IT WASN’T EVEN NOMINATED WHAT THE HELL

Friendly reminder that they botched the summoning

Throne was supposed to be the vessel, Ori was unwilling last second and the flames were lit

If none of that happened we would be fighting true vide but without throne

[lassoedthesos]

When i saw all 8 travelers would be availible together i nearly came, and they did it in a way that didnt make the fight easier, by not giving us more turn economy, but more options instead. And who is paired with who changes, so even if you accidentally aligned your magic Nukers, you werent boned for it

[AloisAgos]

I went into this fight thinking I was going to get crushed (Trauma from Galdera). I just wanted to test the waters...and ended up swimming a freaking ocean. I beat him...ON MY FIRST TRY! I know I had a good team synergy by this point, but still! Castti really carried in this final form. Stocking up to the brim on healing herbs beforehand allowed me to heal the whole brigade of HP, MP, and BP non-stop. She was my starter, and she served me well from start to finish.

[MaStermatus]

I went into the fight so undergeared it took me 2h in a succesfull attempt to win

The song added so much tension to that love to see its finally somewhere where you can listen to it not stressing about dying

[MaxdamageAF]

With all of us here... you never stood a chance!

[jet_set]

Now THIS is a final boss.
This fight pretty much has the entire package of a genuine, amazing final boss. Combined with the transition, this whole fight has to be one of my favorite boss fights ever.

[Hadaron]

I had Agnea as my Inventor for this fight. Combining her Latent Power with Arkar’s Coil was a full party heal, plus 4BP for EVERYONE. A heal so broken that it actually made my switch lag.

Then, when Vide tried to lock me out of resurrecting anybody, I simply put Sealticge’s Seduction on Temenos and used a maxed Prayer for Plenty on everybody. Don’t need resurrection when everybody’s got over 8000 HP.

[Dreykopff]

There are a million metal covers of OCTOPATH tracks on YouTube, but I just realized that apparently now there's one in the game that already is metal.

[nikooneshot]

OMG the guitar solo actually blew me away I was NOT expecting that in a final boss song! It really goes full metal here \m/
