Octopuff Travelers are special monsters that can be found while exploring the world of Octopath Traveler 2. Players hunt them for the extremely high EXP and JP rewards they offer when defeated.

How to Find Octopuff Travelers in Octopath Traveler 2

Similar to Caits, Octopuff Travelers are hard to find, have high dodge rates, and will escape if not killed quickly.

They are octopus-like enemies that appear in battle. Simply hover over their name and you’ll see them named “Octopuff Traveler”.

They can be found anywhere but their low spawn chance makes farming them tricky.

There are three tips to increase your chances of finding Octopuff Travelers in the game:

  • More Rare Monsters Support Skill – This skill can be gained by Hunters after unlocking six skills (1,630 total JP cost). This skill increases the chances of encountering rare monsters, including Octopuff Travelers. However, using it on multiple characters won’t work as this skill doesn’t stack.
  • Bewildering Grace Skill – Last Job Skill learned by Dancers. It causes a curious effect on an enemy. When used with max BP, there’s a chance to transform the targeted enemy into an Octopuff Traveler.
  • Octopuff Pot Accessory – There are various ways to obtain these and here are all of them:
    1. Find the Fisherman in Conning Creek, Harborlands and buy or use the steal/mug/entreat path actions.
    2. Complete the side quest “Will Research for Money” on Crestlands, Montwise.
    3. Open the chest on the Lighthouse Island, at The Sundering Sea.

But why should you care about farming Octopuff Travelers?

Octopuff Travelers Rewards

There are two main benefits to defeating Octopuff Travelers in the game.

  • Loot – Each Octopuff Traveler defeated will award 1,500 Leaves, 500 EXP, and 300 JP.
  • Chance to Capture – Ochette has a 25% chance to capture them when they are defeated, or she can attempt to capture them before that. However, the latter method will increase their chances of escaping.

While they offer half the EXP and Leaves that Caits offer, they award double the JP. Thus, if you’re looking to farm JP, the best method is killing Octopuff Travelers.

Lastly, successfully capturing an Octopuff Traveler will allow Ochette to use it during combat to apply various debuffs on enemies.

Now that you’re convinced of their value, let’s see how to defeat them.

  • Know its weaknesses – The Octopuff Traveler is weak to swords, daggers, axes, and staves.
  • Use Soulstones – This item deals high damage and can’t miss, so it’s a great way to take down Octopuff Travelers.
  • Use Partitio’s Hired Help Skill – Boost the skill with max BP and make sure to hire someone with 7,000 leaves to maximize your chances of hitting.
