Once you reach level 35 if you want to do some leveling for your characters, go to the Marslim area, & before you hit the Marslim city, there are is an enemy fight of a monster hound & three scorpions. The scorpions weakness is ice & the javelin & the monster hound has a weakness mostly of the axe. Once you kill these enemies, you will gain 700xp & you can go from level 35 to level 45-50 in no time.
I wish I could like this 50 times. This is so much better than the video. The monsters do less damage than the KFs, Cyrus is kills them faster, AND they yield more exp. Just read this comment people, DON'T listen to the video!
@@jacoblehrer4198 Are you oblivious? The video says level 20-40, while this guy says "once you reach level 35" I swear some people are plain ridiculous
I just tried this. It's certainly yields more exp for level 35++. The lineup I used for every run (assuming secondary jobs ONLY): Scholar (Blizzard breaks 2 shields of scorpions) Merchant (Trade Tempest breaks 1 shield of scorpions) Thief (hp/sp thief breaks 2 shields of Dog) Warrior or Preferably Hunter. (Boosted standard hit breaks 2 shield or 3 if you have Hunter's "Secondary Serving" with 50% chance to proc, or Warrior's Thousand Spears if you believe in luck). Pretty good exp. The mobs are guaranteed to die in the 2nd turn no matter who goes first. *Edit: Took more than 2 rounds because the foe surprised me and had one free turn. My scholar was focused in the first 2 rounds and died. Pick up the support skill "Percipience" to save time!
This method is great! Definitely worth the effort to pick up the Knowledge Staff and Golden Axe. Once you have everything sorted, it saves SO much time. Thanks for the video!
If anybody is having issues getting the knowledge staff for whatever reason (I use tressa forever and ignore therion) you can get a comparable weapon by using tressa to purchase a rune glaive in grandport, it's a little expensive but you'll have extra money from farming anyway still has 300 something elemental attack and also increases evasion, it's rather useful for equipping to cyrus or your magic user
Omg you're truly the best!!! So happy to hear you again!!! I used to watch religiously your Fire Emblem Heroes' videos, you truly had the most helpful and best explained videos I could find, and now that I'm playing Octopath I found you again! Thank you for this tip, I'm already there grinding and almost hitting lvl. 40 with my main Ophilia and Cyrus. I truly love you and your videos!! Thank you so much for all your help!!! I'll keep watching your other videos and see what I can learn :)))
Thank you for showing this guide. Also here is another tip for H'aanit/Hunter Arrowstorm hit rate is to give them as much accuracy as you can. Here is a tip: If you have 5800 Leaves spare for Unerring Bracelet which gives you 50 accuracy per bracelet. Since you can equip two accessories that equal 100. I also have a Heavy Bow on my H'annit (I did not do any of the job trials) which gives me an extra 44 Accuracy plus on base stats at level 24 which gives me a total of 254 accuracy and with this amount of accuracy I have been able to break the Kingfishers with one arrowstorm although only once due to rng due to being surprised /H'annit not being first. Hope this helps.
There's an even better place to farm, with the exact same build: just outside Everhold. You got 3x Crows and 1x Dragon and their shields can be broken with only 2/3 arrows hits instead of 4. Not to mention you get ~300+ JP/ 700+ Exp and almost 3K leaves per battle.
Can confirm this is 100% better than Kingfishers and Scorpions/Mk Remnant II! Thanks! Go max speed on Hunter. Arrowstorm in the first turn will 100% break all mobs (Arrowstorm ignores accuracy and guarantees 3 of 5-8 hits). Have your dancer use Bewildering Grace for that exp x2++ chance. Merchant donates 2 BP to your scholar. Scholar with max boost wipes out everything in the first turn. *Speed does matter though. If your Dancer is slower than Scholar, then you have no chance of using Bewildering Grace. If you don't fancy Dancer, then use H'aanit to capture those pokemons or have a Thief/Merchant steal from them. Hunter (Arrowstorm, no need boost) Dancer (Bewildering Grace x2) Merchant (Donate BP to scholar x2) Scholar (Max boost choose any elements with 2 hits 100% kill)
Seriously, the amount of mandatory grinding is absolutely ridiculous. I had to grind for about ten hours to get everyone up to about level 28 for the Chapter 2s, then started Tressa's Chapter 3 only to find out that I would probably need to grind for another ten hours in order to be able to deal with the boss.
10 hours to get everyone to 28? That's way too long. How many turns did you take to kill the Kingfishers? Did you unlock Scholar's secondary job? Without that your party will always need Cyrus to kill the Kingfishers (1 wasted slot - unless Cyrus is main)
I did a different method, since I didn't know about the Kingfishers at that point. It basically involved running back and forth at the top of the path that leads up from Stonegard. The Kingfisher thing is definitely quicker - but the point still stands. Any mandatory EXP grinding, no matter how long you have to spend, is bad. If you want to grind to make the experience more fun for yourself, go ahead, but most people don't want to waste hours killing the same enemies. I'd never actually played a JRPG before this, but honestly, if the rest of the genre is like this, I really don't think it's for me.
@@jedisalsohere I see. Well actually you don't need to grind to complete chapter 2 though. If you go from town to town and start off with the lowest recommended level, you can actually beat all the chapter 2s without grinding. Can't say much about chapter 3 - because I did the Kingfishers. But it didn't take long to level anyway. Within 2 turns the Kingfishers are guaranteed dead. It didn't take more than 1-2 hours to get everyone to level 30+
Thanks for video! Very helpful option for leveling my second team. I currently very reluctant/lazy to level Olberic, Alfyn, Primrose, and Tressa, so this is a great option to get them up to snuff.
Another interesting way to do this is to make your merchant also a cleric so you’re not wasting heal/revive items and use arrow storm instead of rain of arrows. generally, one arrow storm will guard break an enemy. Great video and very helpful! Just some additions I found made it quicker/easier!
Everytimes i play an rpg (Chrono Trigger, Bravely Default, Skyrim, Dragon Quest 8, Xenoblade Chronicles 1): My mind said : "Do not grind, it makes the game too damn easy" but seeing these amazing skills not unlock yet make me feel sooo itchy. I don't care about the level or stats of the character, i just want to unlock their most useful skills as soon as possible. What a bad habit DX
Pro-tip for those using this guide later like me. I've been doing this for a few levels now, but I've improved the strategy he used in this video slightly. Using his second encounter as an example, when he accidentally broke their shields with H'aanit's arrowstorm, instead he should've used defend and then used arrowstorm first move the next round. This then allows you to get an extra 3 attacks on the Kingfishers before they get their shields back. Hope someone finds this helpful!
That’s why cyrus is my main, he is super good for finishing enemies and his skills are really versatile. Love him. He is currently level 31 but the rest of my party are about 20ish atm :’) will do this trick.
Alternatively to the donate BP. Use peacock dance. I end up on lvl 3 boost doing 3k damage x2 with peacock dance versus 2.9k x2 on full boost without it and make sure you have the best armor/accessories specifically for elm atk on your scholar and my cyrus just hit 30 so even underleveled he is blowing them away
And tomb of the Kings(near stonegard) and pirate cove(near grandport iirc) have the highest percentage to spawn caits of the entire game, later on maw of the ice dragon i think has similar modifiers too
Good vid Shame that it inadvertently killed my ability to play the game since it left me in a loop of 'infinite' grind until dropping it to not grind and never picking it up again.
Got a better idea, Stack primrose bewealdering Grace ability @lower level enemies and your party jumps 1 to 10 levels each flight. Downside is that it can overlevel your characters and take away the challenge so becareful. Make a safe after each fight.
The only thing I don't get is why Cyrus lightning ability makes that much damage to each monster when lightning isn't their weakness? Is it bc of the Knowledge Staff?
deadass my main team is ophilia, cyrus, primrose and alfyn. they were about level 46ish, with Cyrus being the lowest w 42. i don’t remember what i got but there was an enemy while going to everhold and prim got a x100 exp in her bewildering dance and they ALL went to above level 58, it was wild. i was completing my last tale and prim got ANOTHER X100 EXP and tressa went from 38 to 56. in other words primroses thing is ridiculous because Cyrus can do upwards of 12k damage with sorcerer on boost so YEET
I altered this approach a bit. Put dancer as Cyrus's second job. On his first action, cast peacock strut on himself. It will add power to his elemental attack.
My main is lvl 35 I’m 28 hours in I grind but I switch out so many party members to level them. I also don’t have that fancy staff that’s hard I haven’t done anyone’s chapter 3 yet.
Can tell you're being sarcastic, but if you really want help then would recommend grinding in Forest of Purgation with Hard Worker and Extra Experience skills equipped and Captain's Badge and Badge of Friendship equipped. Will give you 2x XP/JP per battle and FoP gives the most amount of exp out of any location in the game. If you need help finding it it's near Wispermill, outside of there you will see on the radar a forest icon, head in that direction to reach the forest.
I had a hard time fighting Tressa's Chapter 2 Boss with a bunch of level 20s and Tressa was level 26. I guess I just need to get their levels up, or should I be Shrine hunting before I move up to Ch 2? I wish there was a generic gameplay guide. Like, Complete All Ch 1, Shrine Hunt, Complete All Ch2, etc... so I know what the gameplay flow is supposed to be.
I went to the same city as the 2. chapter of Tressa, but did the Therion quest instead and I was getting kicked by regular enemies although three characters were lvl 25.
What I did, was I (at the time) “regrettably” focus all my time on 4 characters, Ophilia, H’annit, Cyrus, and Tressa. Got them to about 13, and then switched H’annit for Olberic. I really fell in love with their characters, and kept them in the party all the way till I finished all their chapter 4’s, got all 4 advanced job classes, and got them each to 78. When I decided it was time to level the others, and see their stories, My “Cyrus the sorcerer “ would stay, while I change out the other three. I used the More Experience skill, Hard worker, and passed the Friendship and Captains badge between the three of them. I brought them all to the level 50 Advanced class dungeons and in about 2.5 hours, got them all to 50 Compared to the 40 hours it took me to get my first 4.
it should be noted that if you kill a kingfisher that also has a cait with it you net 2277 XP (give or take some, trying to remember off the top of my head)
with this exact same setup you can grind in Maw of the Ice Dragon cave and get 700 xp per battle although theres no fast way to get to an inn nearby i use 99 plums and with a healer i heal my whole team after battles
My method for my level 20 team was to have alfyn and someone else with apothocary job use empoison on the kingfishers for at most seven turns. I would then just keep on healing and reviving until they die
why grind though? I am using Evasive Manuevers to avoid leveling up cause all my characters are overleveled just by doing the story quests of each character
Alex Shohet Alfyn. Good HP and Phys.Atk. Concoct can restore SP and BP to the whole party, access all 6 elements and cure ailments/heal with one action.
Don’t actually grind guys! It makes the game insanely easier than it already is, which is always no fun. Only grind for the final boss because that’s really the only time there is going to be a spike in difficulty. Besides that if you do the optional dungeons and or just simply go through everyone’s story cleverly you can easily get everyone leveled up without grinding even once. That’s what I did and even then I ended up overleveled.
It depends how people want to play, because with your method getting the "secret classes" would be quite a bit harder. Not to mention that there are also people who just like to fly through the game and don't mind the actual difficulty of each section. Personally I did all the chapter ones, then as soon as i did my first chapter 2 i was already overleveled for everyone elses chapter 2, but ultimately, level doesn't matter all that much, its more about equipment and your jp gains.
solareflare47 Absolutely agree. I only Grinded when I was preparing for bosses. The game is more so focused around team building rather than Higher levels beating higher levels. True it may be, a level 5 H’annit will constantly miss a level 40 enemy, but a group of level 30 Travelers and take down a level 50 advanced job boss with the right builds. The game rewards clever thinking. The damage and Ho boosts to being higher leveled isn’t too dramatic.
gabriel estrella I got the secret classes just going through the main story. I was like level 30-40. All you have to do is beat the Sorcerer boss which isn’t hard if you have saving Grace then you can breeze through the rest. Trust me for anyone who says this game is Grindy it’s people who are not trying to be rude not good at the game and can’t beat bosses and or enemies without being like 5-6 levels up. Hell even the final boss I didn’t grind. I only grinded the people I never use AKA Alfyn and Therion because they were like level 40 while everyone else was in their 60’s and doing the final boss below the 60’s I will admit might be a bit difficult even for better players lol
Yea I'm assuming it was really easy in that case. You shouldn't be 10 levels up on an enemy unless you really want the fight to be a joke rather than what it was meant to be; challenging. Although if you like to play it like that then thats your way to play.
SPOIL ALERT: Did everyone knows that dance bonus from dancer job are stackable ? I mean 1st time u get the bonus x2 exp or x2 pc (or both) and 2nd time on the same fight u will get x5 bonus ! on those birds I received 2500 exp for a fight ! Enjoy guys !
becek Maw of The Ice Dragons (Danger Level 45) Location: Southern Northreach Wilds (near Stillsnow and Western Stillsnow Wilds) Mostly weak to arrows and wind damage so using a Hunter with Arrowstorm is key for maximum grinding. West Everhold Pass (Danger Level 45) Location: Near Everhold Demon goats and birds give out the most exp. Forest of Purgation (Danger Level 58) Location: West of Wispermill Goats will give you the most exp. 2x Goats with Captain's Badge and Extra Experience from Warbringer would give you around 2.1k exp. Most monsters are weak to wind, arrows and axes. I've heard that Everhold Tunnels is decent too but I have never went there nor do I know where it is though I know it's Danger Level 55.
Aom Chaiprasit Facts. Also has all the Cait variants at once encounters which helps a lot for exp. Literally trying to catch all the chubby caits I can.
Thanks for the video, helps me a lot. However I have trouble understanding your pronunciation, sometimes it sounds like you just mumble the words, and it is hard for me to understand. I hope this comment can help you make better videos :) Note: 1. I am not a native English speaker, though I can speak English well. 2.

Thank you man! I was really struggling with the game, and I just want to get strong enough to power through and see everyone's story.
This method is great! Definitely worth the effort to pick up the Knowledge Staff and Golden Axe.
Once you have everything sorted, it saves SO much time.
Thanks for the video!
I fought a chubby cait in this area. Giving me a whooping 2k+ xp and 55k gold as well as 1k of jp, it had like 80+ hp I thought it gonna ran away.
If anybody is having issues getting the knowledge staff for whatever reason (I use tressa forever and ignore therion) you can get a comparable weapon by using tressa to purchase a rune glaive in grandport, it's a little expensive but you'll have extra money from farming anyway still has 300 something elemental attack and also increases evasion, it's rather useful for equipping to cyrus or your magic user
You can also steal it since it has over 60% chance of getting from the bishop in Ophelia's chapter 2(if I said the wrong staff sorry btw)

What a bad habit DX
What about the other 4 characters that are low leveled and die in one hit
With the secondary jobs this is easily repeatable with any number of party members.

Carrion Caves is also a great place to grind early & is very easy. Specially for JP as you'll get 100-150 per fight.

The fact that you played for 5.45 hours and are level 28 is weird to me. I played 12 hours and my highest character is lvl 21 ?
Me too
And tomb of the Kings(near stonegard) and pirate cove(near grandport iirc) have the highest percentage to spawn caits of the entire game, later on maw of the ice dragon i think has similar modifiers too
In new Game i'm level 20 with 8 hours because Tressa/alchemist use poison and heal si si broken
Does the secondary class affect the character’s stat growth while leveling up?
lettuceee
Far as everyone is aware, subjobs do not affect stat growth. It's more like FF XII than FF VI in this regard.
Looking through your videos, have you done a best early gold farm spot?
Good vid
Shame that it inadvertently killed my ability to play the game since it left me in a loop of 'infinite' grind until dropping it to not grind and never picking it up again.
You can also get Death Cleaver (best non end game axe) in the same dungeon that you get the Knowledge staff.
Where is that bruno
Everhold tunnels. The staff is in the purple chest, the axe is in a red chest hidden in a wall. You can get both without fighting the boss.
@@brunokae8894 It's probably just the best axe for physical attackers lol
@@Sean-fz8if there is also an axe with 400 attack but you can only get it after clearing chapter 4 with Cyrus and Alfryn.

You have no idea how much ive needed this.
you can also buy Forbidden Staff for leaf from NPC in church of Saintbridge

Yea knowledge staff boosts his elemental damage by 333 that's am insane amount

I chose Ophilia as my main. Which 3 should I be using for the team?
good to know, thanks for this!
Thx, I really needed help with grinding especially for the True Fin Boss....
Can tell you're being sarcastic, but if you really want help then would recommend grinding in Forest of Purgation with Hard Worker and Extra Experience skills equipped and Captain's Badge and Badge of Friendship equipped. Will give you 2x XP/JP per battle and FoP gives the most amount of exp out of any location in the game. If you need help finding it it's near Wispermill, outside of there you will see on the radar a forest icon, head in that direction to reach the forest.
Thx! I know its near Wispermill because I died in the forest.
So basically just discover everything possible before attempting chapter 2? Lol
I had a hard time fighting Tressa's Chapter 2 Boss with a bunch of level 20s and Tressa was level 26.

Same. My therion is lv31 and then i have 4 characters 25-26 and the rest.of them are like 12 and ive already done so much without grinding.
I went to the same city as the 2. chapter of Tressa, but did the Therion quest instead and I was getting kicked by regular enemies although three characters were lvl 25.

Cool video. Currently using tomb of kings to bring my non party units up to lv 20ish
Yes Nn Li. I needed this.
What I did, was I (at the time) “regrettably” focus all my time on 4 characters, Ophilia, H’annit, Cyrus, and Tressa. Got them to about 13, and then switched H’annit for Olberic.
I really fell in love with their characters, and kept them in the party all the way till I finished all their chapter 4’s, got all 4 advanced job classes, and got them each to 78.
When I decided it was time to level the others, and see their stories, My “Cyrus the sorcerer “ would stay, while I change out the other three. I used the More Experience skill, Hard worker, and passed the Friendship and Captains badge between the three of them.
I brought them all to the level 50 Advanced class dungeons and in about 2.5 hours, got them all to 50
Compared to the 40 hours it took me to get my first 4.
it should be noted that if you kill a kingfisher that also has a cait with it you net 2277 XP (give or take some, trying to remember off the top of my head)
Level 1-2 is exponential
with this exact same setup you can grind in Maw of the Ice Dragon cave and get 700 xp per battle
although theres no fast way to get to an inn nearby i use 99 plums and with a healer i heal my whole team after battles
thank youu!
Why are you attacking them with lightning when they are vulnerable to wind ?
Is this game worth it or should I spend it on Mhgu
Nathan very worth it
Buy both 😊
Although i love octopath, Mhgu will surely have a longer life. So if you can get both do it, if you can get one, I'd say monster hunter.
Try it yourself. Demo is free and you try the first 3 hours of the game. It is certainly worth the full price if you're into these types of games.
Mhgu. I bought this and the story was not even 20 hrs. There's also a lack of post game content. Gets boring fast.
What about jp?
How and where do I get the knowledge staff?
What kind of secondary job does Cyrus have?
Merchant which you will need in order to use tradewinds
My method for my level 20 team was to have alfyn and someone else with apothocary job use empoison on the kingfishers for at most seven turns. I would then just keep on healing and reviving until they die
why grind though? I am using Evasive Manuevers to avoid leveling up cause all my characters are overleveled just by doing the story quests of each character
Who do u think I should start as?
Alex Shohet Alfyn. Good HP and Phys.Atk. Concoct can restore SP and BP to the whole party, access all 6 elements and cure ailments/heal with one action.
Alex Shohet olberic easiest to start with. Alyn is good too but may find it confusing due to the potion ability(idk the name)he has.
@@here_detty to help with the confusion, seed is single target 2x element attack, dust is all targets with a single attack.
Don’t actually grind guys! It makes the game insanely easier than it already is, which is always no fun. Only grind for the final boss because that’s really the only time there is going to be a spike in difficulty. Besides that if you do the optional dungeons and or just simply go through everyone’s story cleverly you can easily get everyone leveled up without grinding even once. That’s what I did and even then I ended up overleveled.
It depends how people want to play, because with your method getting the "secret classes" would be quite a bit harder. Not to mention that there are also people who just like to fly through the game and don't mind the actual difficulty of each section. Personally I did all the chapter ones, then as soon as i did my first chapter 2 i was already overleveled for everyone elses chapter 2, but ultimately, level doesn't matter all that much, its more about equipment and your jp gains.
solareflare47 Absolutely agree. I only Grinded when I was preparing for bosses. The game is more so focused around team building rather than Higher levels beating higher levels.
True it may be, a level 5 H’annit will constantly miss a level 40 enemy, but a group of level 30 Travelers and take down a level 50 advanced job boss with the right builds.
The game rewards clever thinking. The damage and Ho boosts to being higher leveled isn’t too dramatic.
gabriel estrella I got the secret classes just going through the main story. I was like level 30-40. All you have to do is beat the Sorcerer boss which isn’t hard if you have saving Grace then you can breeze through the rest. Trust me for anyone who says this game is Grindy it’s people who are not trying to be rude not good at the game and can’t beat bosses and or enemies without being like 5-6 levels up. Hell even the final boss I didn’t grind. I only grinded the people I never use AKA Alfyn and Therion because they were like level 40 while everyone else was in their 60’s and doing the final boss below the 60’s I will admit might be a bit difficult even for better players lol
my main team was level 60 once i beat all the secret class dungeons
Yea I'm assuming it was really easy in that case. You shouldn't be 10 levels up on an enemy unless you really want the fight to be a joke rather than what it was meant to be; challenging. Although if you like to play it like that then thats your way to play.
SPOIL ALERT:
Did everyone knows that dance bonus from dancer job are stackable ? I mean 1st time u get the bonus x2 exp or x2 pc (or both) and 2nd time on the same fight u will get x5 bonus ! on those birds I received 2500 exp for a fight ! Enjoy guys !
I'm at mid 20's after chapter 2 and then I went for the lowest level chapter 3 and got immediately one shot by a poisonous panther
Oh ok then
You must not be reading any story and skipping all beginning stories
Yo, wtf. I got shit from this guide man.
I'm about halfway through the chapter 4s and I've barely needed to grind at all so far, maybe an hour or two total
DarthBinary what? How! I’ve been grinding and I just got to the chap 2’s...
Thanks for the tips but please talk a little slower next time
Any good spot for leveling above 40?
Well, the popular spot is forest of purgation, west of wispermill
becek Maw of The Ice Dragons (Danger Level 45)
Location: Southern Northreach Wilds (near Stillsnow and Western Stillsnow Wilds)
Mostly weak to arrows and wind damage so using a Hunter with Arrowstorm is key for maximum grinding.
West Everhold Pass (Danger Level 45)
Location: Near Everhold
Demon goats and birds give out the most exp.
Forest of Purgation (Danger Level 58)
Location: West of Wispermill
Goats will give you the most exp.
2x Goats with Captain's Badge and Extra Experience from Warbringer would give you around 2.1k exp.
Most monsters are weak to wind, arrows and axes.
I've heard that Everhold Tunnels is decent too but I have never went there nor do I know where it is though I know it's Danger Level 55.
Jin Axel thank you
That Mak of the Ice Dragons dungeon is stupid good with arrowstorm.
Aom Chaiprasit Facts. Also has all the Cait variants at once encounters which helps a lot for exp. Literally trying to catch all the chubby caits I can.
Thanks for the video, helps me a lot. However I have trouble understanding your pronunciation, sometimes it sounds like you just mumble the words, and it is hard for me to understand.
I hope this comment can help you make better videos :)
Note:
1. I am not a native English speaker, though I can speak English well.
2. I turned on caption, but not all words / sentences are captured correctly. However I do understand the goal and context of the video.
You talk too fast!!!
You talk a little too fast
You could have killed them so much faster but your team setup is poo. But thanks for the grinding spot.
