Level Everyone Up, Especially Olberic and H’aanit
Octopath Traveler Beginner Tips
If you want to experience every character’s story arc in Octopath Traveler, you’ll definitely need to make sure they’re all leveled up evenly. There’s about a 10 level difference between each chapter for every character, so you’ll want to keep swapping out party members as you go along to give them all equal amounts of experience. Your main character will inevitably get a little over-leveled, but don’t neglect the rest of Octopath Traveler’s cast.
More importantly, make sure Olberic and H’aanit are always getting experience. These two characters have similar Path Actions in that they can engage in 1v1 battles with NPCs. During some of their story chapters, you might find yourself in a situation where you have to fight duels with just these characters, and the rest of your party won’t be able to back you up. These battles can be a little grueling, so make sure they’re strong enough to take them on.
