This strategy does also work with Temenos, albeit being very inefficient. Give him the Apothecary subclass and learn the skill Weak to Poison. Just use that skill on a free turn, so poison ticks also poke the enemy shield.
That, or just use the bottled nightmares to put them to sleep, then when you have two turns in a row spam elemental barrage and latent power to break shields, then reapply bottled nightmares and refuel on latent power with a Lichee item. There are few NPCs with 8+ shields so you're likely not even going to need to refuel the latent power anyway.
he says early on but you need 30-60k worth of bottle nightmare to kill 1 of those high level npcs. not worth it early game since you can make use of the gold for something else like killing the dragon at the graveyard with hired help for the forbidden blade which has 320+ atk. unless you like wasting time farming gold low level then go for it.
@@post6597 th-cam.com/video/PZG2vu_7OQI/w-d-xo.html you can do it as early as level 20-25 if you have 30-45k. i did it at level 20 and used 2 30k hired help since i started with hikari and didnt have throne for the buff
You are correct, it can require a lot of gold, which i definitely forgot to mention in the video it can also be used early in the game. It's a strategy that is nice to know as can be used to get items early, particularly items for quest or inventor skills.
@@CoatTee Inventor Hasting Hammer was a bitch to get since there are only like two NPC to challenge for it and they both are at the 9/10 Danger rating T_T
a cheaper way to do this is use bottled nightmares turn onw then swtich between posion and sleep bought from the same merchent its cheaper and works well if u pay attention spam the sleep potion when there are 3 stacks left same witht he posion that way if u miss u will likely still keep them asleep
@@Vayank123 I haven't tried that skill but base it con's it doesn't seem worth it. To loose all your so for 1 move that hits once. I like skills that hit multiple times for Hikari.
It's less consistent as well, but yes, you are right, while it may not be best for the early game depending on what your trying to get. it can be done and works great mid game to get certain items.
I tried to mug the Gladiator who has the "Evil Eye" sword but didn't work. I had 6 of these bottles and a bunch of poison bottles (that cost 600, for when the poison missed). Any suggestions? Not sure how much HP that guy has.
If it's the poison is missing most of the time, try it with the apothecary sub once you get him to sleep. Use week to poison skill, and that should allow the poison to hit. I like to start with nightmare bottles.
Yes, you could alternate bottles that way as well. I would still use bottle nightmares as well, at least on first turn. Depending on the NPC, certain effects have a lower chance, so at with nightmares your getting some effects.
@@CoatTee I've been using it in Duels with Hikari, trying to get Last Gasp, and most of the time at least one of the stats - usually Sleep - completely misses.
@dawnaeaclaudiuscaesaraugus714 Some characters are immune to certain effects and / or have lower probability rates for specific effects. You can use sleep bottles, which are cheaper to try to get that effect first, then use bottled nightmares.
But you still need LOADS of Gold FIRST and access to the Black Market you also NEED to go first because if you don't you'll likely DIE in 1 hit BEFORE you can cause Sleep and Poison IN that order. While this trick is good and all it won't actually WORK for bosses those kind of tend to be immune.
Well yeah, bosses aren‘t duels. You can also use poison bottles and sleep bottles which are wayyy cheaper but more unreliable and time consuming. Its a nice strat to have if you want some really strong weapons as soon as possible.
Sure bosses aren't duels but it would still be a cheap way TO kill bosses if it WERE possible to easily poison them to death since 1 job class has a skill that makes enemies weak to POISON damage and that skill MAY work on bosses.
Except theirs a skill that makes enemies weak to poison though its like only in the Apocathary/Chemist job so for party members that are NOT in that job they would need it as their sub job that skill SHOULD make the poison immune duel enemies still be able to be poisoned.
What is your favorite path action in Octopath Traveler 2?
Latrice Royales path
if youre doing this, make sure to have a "x% off shop items" with partitio

Honestly, it's not impossible to get that amount of money from being lvl 16 or so, so why the big deal here?

That make more sense
@@Jaikenz37 The fastest way of beating any encounter (requires SP and low HP): bring Hikari and Mythical Bore using SP.

Thank you for the video. Just downloading the game and your voice flows so much better now! 🥂
I'm glad I could help! And thanks, audio and narration are new to me, so I'm really trying to get right.
For difficult mugs i put on osvald all dodge equipment, and the dodge+ dancer's skill. It's very effective.
That sounds like a good way to go about it!
Poison and Sleep bottles are way better cost-wise.
Sure they are slower. But bottled nightmare spam is a huge waste of gold early game.

ohhh i am absolutely abusing that against the one beastling guarding the Horn in nameless village, thank you.
No problem!
I crushed her like a bug, lol
Specifically New Delsta Flats just west of the Abandoned Village.
I think temenos latent power with a step ahead, full power and boost start is a sure fire way to win every time.
Temenos is really powerful, especially as a scholar
For some reason i dont have the merchant that sells poison,etc. I have one which sells amulets and one who sells armor and weapons
You have to keep changing day and night cycle, and eventually, they will show up

The bottled nightmares isn’t showing up just armour
Sometimes it can take a while
Sick video !
Thanks 🔥
Is it possible to use 2 different cheaper bottles (sleep and poison) changing each turn?
Yes, you could alternate bottles that way as well. I would still use bottle nightmares as well, at least on first turn. Depending on the NPC, certain effects have a lower chance, so at with nightmares your getting some effects.
Yeah, this is great...when it works. Half the time it misses and you're killed in one hit.
Haven't had Miss yet on any of the duel targets. But if you're using it in battles, then the probability can be low depending on the enemy.

@@veghesther3204 why talk about bosses when this is literally just for duels 5head
Well If bosses could be killed this way then bosses that are like lv 48+ COULD be beaten at lv 20 as well.
Some duel enemies are immune to poison, so this won't work on everyone.

how do you get this night market i get different items D:
You just have to keep switching from day to night until you get the 2 Nuns.
the issue with this strat is how much it costs but its not bad but defo not that great early game
Yeah, for sure, but it's always good to have options to get through battles early if people so choose
Like if the game wasn't easy enough already
Now it's even easier🤷♂️
Cool tip, but definitely for those who are bitch-made
Thanks, and fair enough 🤣
