Complete the Side Quests
Things to Do After Beating Octopath Traveler
Every city in Orsterra comes with a handful of side quests that you can take on. Some are more complex than others, and will require you to travel to other cities for an item or information that’s necessary to progress. If you came across a few quests that you weren’t quite sure how to complete over the course of your journey in Octopath Traveler, go back to them and see if anything you’ve obtained from other cities will allow you to continue the story.
Outside of that, there are also various houses in every city that are being blocked by NPCs who can’t be Allured or Guided. Now that you’re powerful enough, you can have Olberic or H’aanit Challenge or Provoke them. If you win the duel, you’ll be able to enter the houses and get some extra items and money. These should be useful in helping you gear up for the advanced class bosses if you haven’t beaten them already.
There are also optional dungeons you can explore in Octopath Traveler, so consider skipping the fast travel option and going back to explore some of the pathways to find ruins and caves. Some of these are tied to side quests, while others just offer up more items and money.
