by During the first chapter of the story of the powerful scholar Osvald from Octopath Traveler 2 we will discover that he has been imprisoned in a high security prison that is somewhat reminiscent of Alcatraz called Oblivion Island.
He is also completely innocent of the charges, so he will plan an escape in which we will have the help of Emerald, another prisoner who will be our accomplice and who, frankly, will be of great help thanks to his good handling of the dagger.
However, in the process of escaping we will come across a powerful boss who will try to stop us: Davids the Warden , a powerful enemy who will also have the help of his guards.
PREVIOUS TIPS
I recommend you to explore the jail in depth during the breakout as all the resources you collect will be very useful for the upcoming battle. Also, in the process you will see how you will find some equipment for Osvald and in the process you will level up both Osvald and Emerald and that is something that will be very noticeable because the battle against Davids will be quite tough.
In fact, a good advice that I can give you if you see that there is no way to beat the battle is to farm some levels and try again. By the way, you won’t need to invest your TP for the battle, although in my case I got the Lightning ability.
DAVIDS AND WARDENS WEAKNESSES
These are the weaknesses that you should take into account. Let’s start with Davids:
- Daggers : Great because Emerald uses Daggers.
- Staff : Osvald’s weapon if we decide to do physical damage.
- Fire : Osvald has spells of this element.
- Lightning : You can also have this element if you acquire the Lightning ability.
The guards, on the other hand, are weak to Ice , so you will have to change the element according to the situation.
STRATEGY TO DEFEAT HIM
From the start you will have to get rid of the annoying wards, something that will be easy if we constantly use Osvald’s “Ice Wind” spell, especially if we take advantage of the game’s impulse mechanic (although I recommend that you save the impulse to attack Davids) , the good thing is that in the process we will also damage Davids the Warden.
Emerald will play a fundamental role since it will fulfill the function of a healer thanks to its «First Aid» ability with which we will have to heal ourselves and it will also fulfill the function of a stunner with its «Random Slash» ability since with it we will hit many times with the Dagger Davids and you know that when we lower his shield to 0 is when we will stun him. At which point we can destroy him with Osvald’s “Fireball” or “Lightning” spells.
If you don’t want the battle to be eternal, don’t hesitate to use objects to recover PH from both Osvald and Emerald, it will be necessary for both of them to use their abilities if you want to succeed in this battle. It is preferable to lose Emerald’s turn for this. Remember that you also have items that restore life if things get tricky, which can happen.
As soon as you deal a certain amount of damage to Davids, the Warden will call the guards again, so it will be your turn to use the Ice spell again. When you have Osvald’s action available, you should use it against Davids since this will allow us to cast a spell that instead of hitting in an area, it will concentrate all its power on the target and the blow will be terrible (ideally, it would be to use all the momentum, of course ) . enough to make him stiff after it.
