168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Octopath Traveler 2 improves upon its predecessor in almost every way. A sterling example of this can be found through the game's quartet of Crossed Paths - quests that link up two travelers, providing them with story and gameplay together. These pairs of unlikely partners have memorable banter and surprisingly compelling content.
'The Apothecary and the Hunter' Crossed Path covers Castti and Ochette. Explore their adventure with our guide, including both boss fights and plenty of forest-scouting.
Part One: Big Trouble In Little Cropdale
Unlike the lower levels found in certain other Crossed Paths, Castti and Ochette's is 16 - hardly sky-high, of course, but high enough to suggest there'll be some combat here. Take care to stock up on healing supplies, though Castti's Apothecary abilities do make her a fine healer in addition to her damage and debuff output duties.
After Castti's finished mothering Ochette, we'll find out times are tough via some gross-tasting meats. Hunting's been bad lately - curious. Let's investigate. Make for the Animal Trail, which is north out of town and east in the Forest Trail by way of canoe to the next screen.
The Dire Duorduor fight that soon triggers isn't terribly tough. Its weaknesses include Swords, Bows, Staves, and Fire. Notably, you'll have your full party for this fight despite this being a Crossed Path, so just shatter its shields accordingly (if all else fails, Ochette alone can practically slice right through it with Bows) and the fight will end.
Continue east down the Animal Trail for no more than ten or so seconds; your destination is right in front of you. Ochette speaks with the local fauna, after which you're given control but - again - it's just a few feet ahead. We reach the duorduor, learn more about the situation, and that's a wrap for Part One.
Part Two: In The Shadow Of Wooly-Ooly
Castti and Ochette's Crossed Path doesn't exactly cover a ton of ground. When you're level 45 and have completed both their main storylines, simply return to Cropdale to continue the plot here - no new cities or sudden dungeons required. It's quickly decided that we should pay Wooly-Ooly, the duorduor, a friendly visit.
Back to the Animal Trail we go, same route as last time. We'll be taking a longer trip in a darker, dimmer forest. A few spooky lantern-held steps later, and the duo comes upon a strange shadow-like creature. Approach the monster and select 'Provoke' to challenge it.
Since we used a Path Action on this aptly named 'Strange Shadow', we'll be summoning Ochette's pets for the battle rather than combating it directly ourselves. The good news is, the Strange Shadow tends not to hit hard if you're at around the average recommended level of 45 with even remotely decent attire. It's weak to Swords, Daggers, Bows, Wind, and Light.
Afterward, the gang catches up with Wooly-Ooly, and dark stories begin to intertwine. Curing the poor fellow ends the scene, but prepare for a creepy chunk of background banter as you run forward through the Animal Trail further east. Eventually, a wicked voice speaks to Castti🔯, and things get w𓆏eirder and weirder.
This time, Strange Shadow has become Creeping Shadow, with roughly 50,000 HP and weaknesses to Spears, Axes, Bows, Ice, and Light. This is the more full-fledged boss battle of this quest, and once again you'll have the full team. 'Invitation to Darkness' strikes everyone; 'Rip Open', the substantially weaker of the two attacks, does less damage to a single target.
Honestly, there's not a ton to say about this one. So long as you're not attacking with Dark-elemental spells and slashes, which do reduced damage to Creeping Shadow, you're probably all right. If you're at the recommended level of 45, there's not much Creeping Shadow can possibly do to you, and if it does 🐠somehow gain the upper hand, Castti can brew some healing concoctions.
And so ends 'The Apothecary and the Hunter', though we're left with more questions than answers. Don't worry - there's resolution to these queries eventually!
