BG never worked for me at all and usually would explode me or take away all my SP in my party. I barely ever used it in my playthrough. I'm around level 75 when I killed the final true boss.
The first time I used bewildering grace was in a boss fight. Primrose healed the boss 33k health, gave him a buff, and gave my party status ailments. Whoever made this skill must've been high af T_T
It was similar for me the first time I used it against a boss, except I also got JPx5. Twice. Didn't know at the time that they didn't stack, so you can imagine how desperate I was to win anyway (which I did, thankfully... barely). :P
"You hear the whisper of death in the air." "You hear the whisper of death in the air." "You hear the whisper of death in the air." "You hear the whisper of death in the air."
Just going along, using Bewildering Grace. "Fully recovered!" My eyes get blessed with the sight of seeing green, blue and yellow as well as numbers everywhere and everyone being at full HP, SP, and BP.
The first rule of grinding: increase the enemy encounter rate as much as possible. And then double it if you can . 2nd rule : kill every enemy as quick as you can .
I beat this game and did most of my grinding in the forest of purgation. Your gonna need patience and saving grace for everyone by the last few bosses. Its pretty much required.
having run the math on this, bewildering grace is worth running in every battle only if you're willing to wait a turn to allow for a full boost, as anything less than that removes the x100 exp bonus from the pool. mathematically, casting a fully boosted dance is worth the effort, even if it causes the battles to last 30 seconds longer. likewise, anything less than a three boost just isn't worth wasting the turns on - or even the time to cast the skill on - as it removes the x5 exp boost from the pool, and a 4-8% chance of doubling the experience just isn't worth the time it takes to finish the casting animation
Absolutely love this method! The most I got was 80k :'D that was a few months ago and today I started playing again and got 15k. A helpful tip: you can ONLY get EXP100 and the other one with max boosting. Otherwise it's impossible. I read that online so keep that in mind!
God the dance is both a curse and blessing. I've been screwed over as much as I was blessed. I only encountered EXP x100 ONCE, and I was in tears once the battle ended.
Frank Chen happened to me on a boss fight, on another boss fight she summoned a monster that one hit killed the 2 bosses (Tressa's 1st boss) after dealing 7k+ to each of them
Might be good to add equipment/accessories that negate silence for the intermediate method if you're using bewildering grace because the silencing your whole team ability is extremely common
This game hasn't been out more than 5 days as of upload and you're already level 100 .-. And already have over 100 hours into the game. I'm just at 30 hours in and I played for 5 or more hours a day! I mean, this game fucked up my sleep schedule but you apparently have none
right after watching this video i went to carrion caves. first battle i found a cait and was lucky enough to get a x5 exp boost from bg. but it doesn't stop there, because i was able to find another cait right after the first one, and i also got another x5 exp boost. i got alfyn from level 17 to 31 in those two matches.
Just started playing a week ago. Got lvl 21 just by running around and collecting characters. Saw a video on getting knowledge staff early and was sneaky enough to pull it off with only one death. Next video gave the suggestion; go to north east, a sea town. When you exit left from city you'll always get 2 segaul enemies. First couple of wins were tough, but they all shot to 30 super fast. Granted you've gotta run through an escalating threat up to 45 area, it was well worth the 3 deaths sustained. Save at every point along the journey! You will most likely get caught unable to escape a fight or 2. Ohh, you need Cyrus and knowledge staff to pull it off. Also merchant girl to give BP to Cyrus. Warrior multiple hit Lance abilities, Hunter multi shot abilities. Weaknesses: Lances, Bows, and I believe 🔥.
dude i had to sub. loving your videos dude, your a JRPG GOD man lol. loving this game right now. i couldn't find a copy so i got it digitally :( ill wait for the octopath traveler wayfarer edition when it becomes more available.
Hey there, I used this guide on my first playthrough and it was extremely helpful!! I'll be starting a new one soon but I got 1 question for you: For each level of farming (Basic, Intermediate, Advanced) do you have a range of character levels where each method is best?
In the early game I lucked out and got x100 xp followed x100 jp not to many fights later, turning me into a Bewildering Grace addict. Thank you for showing me the error in my understanding of the game. Luckily I just started unlocking the advanced classes as well as finding the items that increase xp and jp. Nevertheless, if it wasn’t for your relentless efforts I would, misguided by Primrose’s bewitching allure, have wasted hours in pursue of the elusive multipliers.
I would suggest another method - have a merchant feed a dancer BP in round 1 so they can use a fully charged BG round 2. Use it, then end the fight after. This gives you more chances for multipliers and BG-spawned Caits. Be sure that you have Articulate Stone equipped on your 1-shot character. Yes, you waste some time, but having a chance at a x100 EXP proc is way better than simply erasing that as a possibility. You also get more chances to proc the lower x2 and x5 multipliers. This is the most value, so just do it this way. It just costs you round 1 of defending/BP Boosting. If you get your speed correct you could even get it all done in Round 1. Make sure the turn order goes ->> Merchant -> Dancer -> 1-shot character and you can actually get a full BG off on turn 1. Optimize your speed and do it correctly and it will pay off. TL;DR abuse Donate BP so you can get a full BG off quicker.
Ryokishine I actually did this when I started this sort of grinding and I kept at it for a long while. This is my second day grinding and when I started my active party was about 26 and now they’re almost 50 lol
@@kaphenn2583 it's all about how lucky you get... In one fight my dudes went from 20 to 44. I spent about 5 hrs total in Maw and ended with all party members at 40+, but more importantly with members that had every standard secondary class maxed out - what ppl don't understand is that JP are way more important than EXP early. They're what let you actually make teams.
Ryokishine Right, my party currently in their 50s because I did that exact same strat in a level 40 cave (I forgot where...probably in the sunlands lol) are sitting at around 20,000 JP because I get extremely lucky when it comes to JP in most cases. I’m saving it all up for when I get the four secret jobs (probably after I complete everyones chapter three just for a bit more exp) so I can get all of the skills without having to grind again, and by that time I might be in my 60s since after every round of chapters I tend to want to be twenty levels above what’s needed lmao
Lmao and I was thinking method 2 would be at least semi reliable since I got the x100 multiplier within 10 minutes. Guess I was just lucky af but nevertheless it was very satisfying to see Primrose level up by 50 levels at once.
i have been in the game for only 25 hours but i was killing the 4 elite bosses with reflect damage i was already invulnerable...9 reflect always...done this with a cleric dancer class all boss GG!! the reflect with increase element and physical and critical and so what ever the bosses do they kill themselves :) i was shocked and stayed up all night coz of this strategy
So what does bewildering grace even do? Random stuff + exp or just random stuff? And is it a normal dancer skill or do i have to do something to unlock it?
What would you recommend when it comes to leveling your party? Focus on first choice + other 3 first then swap them for the remaining four or just swap out one of the characters for the one I'm doing the chapter for?
My experience represents a small sample size so I would love to see others chime in if they share a similar experience: in my time with the game, I ran into Cait about once every 3 hours or so. However, while I was running around in Whistling Caverns (the cave by Primrose's starting area), I ran into Cait 3 times in 40 minutes. Again, I realize this is a small sample size and it could easily just be dumb luck, but the difference was certainly stark. However, if others are experiencing something similar, this is a great to get from ~15 to ~30 incredibly fast.
Personally using a team with 2 Dancers, 2 Merchants and a Cleric for the 8-16 casts of BG per turn, though I go that route only if I encounter a Cait, otherwise I one-shot them.
DO you think that there's a "seed" like there is when the speed runners go through FF2/4 or FF3/6 ? It seem that there are times when I get a lot of 2/5x or even in the case of the other night I got 2 100xJPs with a few battles.
Sorry can this skill are same effect with ophilia with second job dancer? Or only primerose can have change that random effect like summon cait from beweilding skill?
True and certainly the best way to go. Just out of curiosity though and for the purpose of experiment, have you ever managed to cast the 100x xp or 100x jp more than once in different battles or even the same one? Only been 35hours in and only managed to get it once for each in different battles. Thanks for the hard work and sharing it with us as always, really appreciate it.
I have gotten x100 EXP about 6 times and x100 JP about 5 times. Do remember that i have a total of 240 hours between all of my accounts though. About 120 on my main account for the demo. Almost 80 on the main game, and then my second account i had about 20-40 hours.
Murzz why? They never expected many people to bother going for level 100 because there is no reason. True final boss can be beaten at level 60-70 and there’s no postgame. If you wanna grind for 8 hours a day just so you can get the “completionist” feeling of hitting max level, go ahead, but it certainly wasn’t a design flaw on their part for not including higher level grindspots
Unless of course the game was structured for challenge, and the devs were purposefully attempting to discourage grinding past a certain point so that players could actually get good at the combat? God forbid a dev actually understand game design and power balance.
I challenge your massive amount of testing with my three completed saves, one of which being 100% completed, along with doing a challenge run currently
CGBK it’s not actually a whole lot, but it is essentially getting a party of four and leaving the other four behind, creating a big problem in the early game especially, because all the levels you would get from the other four chapter ones are gone, along with any skills that you would get, not having Therion is feeling like hell because money is hard to get a lot of
I recommend areas with a danger level 5-10 levels below your most powerful character's level. My characters are around level 50-55 so I usually farm in the area just outside of Noblecourt (Danger level 45). Lots of space to run around and the enemies give decent XP. Dont bother farming in areas with low danger levels, and magic is your best friend. No specific location is really the best, and Caits spawn the same in most areas (Although I have only seen chubby caits in caves...). Hope this helps :)
sombody told me to spam bewildering grace during battle it would be more efficient they said, i guesse it is not then again i only have one dancer being tressa (not using primrose that much) but in the end just one shottign them gives you more exp thanks for clearign that out, btw what is a good area for lv 25-30 ?
Ok. I need to farm for 4 characters and Primerose is one of them, so I can use 2 dancers. My party will be Primerose and 3 characters. 1) The fastest one will get dancer as a subclass. 2) The one with the high elemental attack will get the mage subclass. 3) The last character is here will be a healer. 1) The mage will max his elemental attack but will equip one amulet to resist mute. Use the 4 passive skills to do max damage. 2) Primerose will take thief as secondary class and equip armor+hat with more SP, weapons with more speed and ring with more SP. The 4 passive skiills will be reduce SP costs, give SP back every turn, one more EP and +50 speed. 3) The 2nd dancer will copy Primerose. 4) The healer will take the passive more XP, more JP more money and the passive from dancer where you revive once with 25% HP. Max HP and defense for him. Most fights : First dancer use 3 dances. He get enough SP back to not worry about the "0 SP" malus. If not muted, the second dancer uses 3 dances. Same story for the SP. If something "bad" happens, the healer can survive and revive the group.
The best area to farm would be forest of no return, correct? I think it is the highest level area so i guess this is the best area, but i am not sure...
Elijah Eugene yea he was my first playthrough main. Then I started again with Olberic. His story is good to me but I like his strength in battle. The tragic knight story is one of my favorites.
There is a Final Boss to fight if you haven't already. Also the higher the stronger, and i personally like to see big numbers when i attack. Not much as of right now for leveling up to max though. Just the completionist inside of me.
Got 100x JP boost at level 18 here. Instantly had all my main classes and 1 entire subclass leveled to full. 9k JP from one fight, was pretty disgusting.
Nic vidio i like your tactics. I use abute the sane set up but slower. I even gotten lucky and got ×100 4 times in my game so far. Its a bliss to see it happen.
I'd also recommend to save every couple of levels. If you do get a bad stack of "Bewildering Grace" and lose a battle, it doesn't reset all your progress.
cant get more than X2 exp.....do I have to be a certain level or do I need to raise my "luck" to get higher chance of more than 2 times? Because I mostly get Debuffs on my entire party, or I mute the entire party or I get 2x exp which isn't good enough for any fight even getting 1 Cait barely gave me much at all....and my chances of running into them is like -100% takes hours[real time] to run into just 1 Cait.
So by my estimate, if the stars somehow align and you get the kill on a cait *AND* you get the x100 multiplier, that should be 100,000 xp.... (judging by the video, turning one of the mobs in a fight into a cait doesn't count, because it "only" awarded 34k XP at the end).
I fought the final boss for Therion chapter 4 and I did the Bewildering Dance and I gasp when I got the EXP x100 multiplier. By the end of the fight I got 150,000 exp !
So hold on... The Extra Exp skills affect the entire party?? Not just the person equipping it? That is pretty odd for a game like this, usually it only affects the character it's equipped on. Is this the case for the Extra Exp accessory too?? If so that's pretty nuts & completely unexpected!
You're a beast. I'm new to jrpg's. (started ff6 last year) and I'm loving octopath, should I be grinding? I'm 90 hours in and lvl 45 - 50 with my characters. I'm liking the challenge, will grinding just make the game too easy? I'm chapter 4 with everyone now. 2 already completed
Grinding everyone to level 99 will take you like 50+ hours (spoiler). My guys are level 60-71. Not sure if I want to waste 50+ hours but I'll eventually do it. Good luck
If your goal is just XP and not JP, bewildering grace is NOT worth it. I used it for an hour and got x2 XP like at most 1/10th of the time and about half of the time, it would put some messed up effect on my party. The third time it silenced my 1 shot character, I chucked it right out the window.

I have gotten x100 EXP about 6 times and x100 JP about 5 times. Do remember that i have a total of 240 hours between all of my accounts though. About 120 on my main account for the demo. Almost 80 on the main game, and then my second account i had about 20-40 hours.
OhRichard Sweet, thanks for confirming 👍
I am farming exp in Forest of Purgation, because monsters are on lvl 58. Is there any other dangeon where monsters have higher level?
Lukasz Ciesielski Also wanna know this!
Murzz why? They never expected many people to bother going for level 100 because there is no reason. True final boss can be beaten at level 60-70 and there’s no postgame. If you wanna grind for 8 hours a day just so you can get the “completionist” feeling of hitting max level, go ahead, but it certainly wasn’t a design flaw on their part for not including higher level grindspots
Unless of course the game was structured for challenge, and the devs were purposefully attempting to discourage grinding past a certain point so that players could actually get good at the combat? God forbid a dev actually understand game design and power balance.
I challenge your massive amount of testing with my three completed saves, one of which being 100% completed, along with doing a challenge run currently
CGBK it’s not actually a whole lot, but it is essentially getting a party of four and leaving the other four behind, creating a big problem in the early game especially, because all the levels you would get from the other four chapter ones are gone, along with any skills that you would get, not having Therion is feeling like hell because money is hard to get a lot of
this make OT2 level grinding walk in the park
2 Chubby Cait
×100 EXP
400K+ EXP
I hardly regret not filming it
Cheers mate, this will help me with the late game grind.
You're kind legend in farming jrpg, thx!
Can you give specific locations for the best areas to farm for intermediate to advanced?
I recommend areas with a danger level 5-10 levels below your most powerful character's level. My characters are around level 50-55 so I usually farm in the area just outside of Noblecourt (Danger level 45). Lots of space to run around and the enemies give decent XP. Dont bother farming in areas with low danger levels, and magic is your best friend. No specific location is really the best, and Caits spawn the same in most areas (Although I have only seen chubby caits in caves...). Hope this helps :)
Thanks I actually just beat all stories today and I'm working on grinding for the true final boss
Burandin Oh cool! I’ve heard of the final boss but I’m trying not to spoil it for myself. Just been grinding and doing side quests lol
sombody told me to spam bewildering grace during battle it would be more efficient they said, i guesse it is not then again i only have one dancer being tressa (not using primrose that much) but in the end just one shottign them gives you more exp thanks for clearign that out, btw what is a good area for lv 25-30 ?
Sincerely I levelled faster simply fighting with exp and jp bonus than using bewildering grace.
Where did you get badge of Friendship? (if this from side-quest can you tell how to complete it?)
Thanks a lot for this video, really helped me out! 😁
Legend
Ok. I need to farm for 4 characters and Primerose is one of them, so I can use 2 dancers.
My party will be Primerose and 3 characters.
1) The fastest one will get dancer as a subclass.
2) The one with the high elemental attack will get the mage subclass.
3) The last character is here will be a healer.
1) The mage will max his elemental attack but will equip one amulet to resist mute.
Use the 4 passive skills to do max damage.
2) Primerose will take thief as secondary class and equip armor+hat with more SP, weapons with more speed and ring with more SP. The 4 passive skiills will be reduce SP costs, give SP back every turn, one more EP and +50 speed.
3) The 2nd dancer will copy Primerose.
4) The healer will take the passive more XP, more JP more money and the passive from dancer where you revive once with 25% HP. Max HP and defense for him.
Most fights :
First dancer use 3 dances. He get enough SP back to not worry about the "0 SP" malus.
If not muted, the second dancer uses 3 dances. Same story for the SP.
If something "bad" happens, the healer can survive and revive the group.
The best area to farm would be forest of no return, correct?
I think it is the highest level area so i guess this is the best area, but i am not sure...
THERION IS BEST BOY
Facts
The man of truth
Elijah Eugene yea he was my first playthrough main. Then I started again with Olberic. His story is good to me but I like his strength in battle. The tragic knight story is one of my favorites.
LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK
Thanks! This saved me a lot of time!
I finished every chapter being 60-70ish. Is there any reason I should go on and grind exp? Or is it just for completionist?
There is a Final Boss to fight if you haven't already. Also the higher the stronger, and i personally like to see big numbers when i attack. Not much as of right now for leveling up to max though. Just the completionist inside of me.
Got 100x JP boost at level 18 here. Instantly had all my main classes and 1 entire subclass leveled to full. 9k JP from one fight, was pretty disgusting.
Nic vidio i like your tactics. I use abute the sane set up but slower. I even gotten lucky and got ×100 4 times in my game so far. Its a bliss to see it happen.
I'd also recommend to save every couple of levels. If you do get a bad stack of "Bewildering Grace" and lose a battle, it doesn't reset all your progress.
I know I'm late to the party but do you have your Sorcerer Cyrus build posted somewhere?
Thanks a lot for the info!
Idk if you know this but 100x exp only will appear at 4x boost
I really didn't know. THANK YOU!!
cant get more than X2 exp.....do I have to be a certain level or do I need to raise my "luck" to get higher chance of more than 2 times? Because I mostly get Debuffs on my entire party, or I mute the entire party or I get 2x exp which isn't good enough for any fight even getting 1 Cait barely gave me much at all....and my chances of running into them is like -100% takes hours[real time] to run into just 1 Cait.
finally found out I have to "boost" in order to get the other effects. Had to find out on my own....
So by my estimate, if the stars somehow align and you get the kill on a cait *AND* you get the x100 multiplier, that should be 100,000 xp.... (judging by the video, turning one of the mobs in a fight into a cait doesn't count, because it "only" awarded 34k XP at the end).
Nice vid, im glad for ur effort. Thanks :^)
If I'm not going for efficiency, Will Cleric's divine give you ×8 BG? With dancer at full boost.
Monius13 yes it will
Oooo sounds risky
I fought the final boss for Therion chapter 4 and I did the Bewildering Dance and I gasp when I got the EXP x100 multiplier. By the end of the fight I got 150,000 exp !
Ty so so so much !! This im help me a lot !!! ❤
Thx your excellency
How does Method 3 compare with just running around with a 1shot char and ignoring bewildering grace completely?
Chubby caits usually take the first turn for me. Should i build Cyrus on max speed?
So hold on... The Extra Exp skills affect the entire party?? Not just the person equipping it? That is pretty odd for a game like this, usually it only affects the character it's equipped on. Is this the case for the Extra Exp accessory too?? If so that's pretty nuts & completely unexpected!
Or just get lucky like me, and get the 100x exp on a boss for 85000 exp at once. Went up 15 levels at least.
Exp 100x only comes from a fully charged bewildering grace right?
I can't seem to find any information about the boost-start skill. How is it unlocked?
Thank you for this
>gives 5 BP to everyones
>takes it away
You're a beast. I'm new to jrpg's. (started ff6 last year) and I'm loving octopath, should I be grinding? I'm 90 hours in and lvl 45 - 50 with my characters. I'm liking the challenge, will grinding just make the game too easy? I'm chapter 4 with everyone now. 2 already completed
Grinding everyone to level 99 will take you like 50+ hours (spoiler). My guys are level 60-71. Not sure if I want to waste 50+ hours but I'll eventually do it. Good luck
Where do you get the captains badge?

If your goal is just XP and not JP, bewildering grace is NOT worth it. I used it for an hour and got x2 XP like at most 1/10th of the time and about half of the time, it would put some messed up effect on my party. The third time it silenced my 1 shot character, I chucked it right out the window.

Just had Bewildering Grace nuke my party. FML.
