New World, New Tales

---

The story takes place in Solistia, a land comprising an eastern and western continent divided by the sea. It is a bustling era, wherein large vessels navigate busy sea routes and the power of steam gives birth to new technologies.

Some people thrill to glamorous stars of the stage and industry, while others are brought to tears by war, plague, and poverty. In this faraway realm, eight travelers hailing from different regions venture forth for their own reasons. Step into their shoes and explore the land as you see fit.

Your name is Throné Anguis, and you are a thief. Your tale begins in a thrilling city in the Brightlands.

You are a member of the Blacksnakes, a thieves guild that controls the city from the shadows. Your job is to steal…and clean.

“Not again… Not this stench. Every time I breathe it in, it feels as though my very lungs are rotting… The stench of blood.

Determined to escape the cycle of bloodshed, you embark on a journey for the keys to your freedom…

Along your journey as Throné, you’ll encounter many memorable characters, including:

Throné’s journey begins in the Brightlands

Eastern Solistia is an urban region home to the continent‘s largest city. Blessed by warm sunshine and a pleasant climate, it soon became known as the Brightlands. Agricultural abundance caused the region to flourish, and people flocked here in droves. Wealth soon followed, and development soon after. Before long, buildings like theaters and game parlors were erected to entertain the evergrowing crowds, and now the light of civilization shines as bright here as the sun does overhead. At the center of all of this lies the Brightlands’ beating heart: New Delsta. In the east of these lands can be found Clockbank, an industrial center that has prospered ever since the Age of Discovery.

Throné’s Path Actions

Every character in OCTOPATH TRAVELER II has special Path Actions – skills that you can use outside of battle to interact with NPCs, uncover valuable items and more. Each hero has two Path Actions – one they can use in the day, and one for night.

Daytime: Steal
Steal townspeople’s belongings (with a given probability). Fail, and your reputation will suffer. You won’t be able to use Path Actions if your reputation suffers. Raise Throné’s level to increase her chances of success.

Night time: Ambush
Knock people unconscious. You must be the appropriate level to succeed. If Throné’s level is high enough, she can knock someone unconscious. This will allow you to move forward when someone is blocking your path.

Throné’s Talent: Blessing of Darkness

Throné can augment all allies at the start of battle at night.

Blessing of Darkness automatically triggers at the start of battles at night. This raises the physical attack, elemental attack, and speed of all allies, allowing your party to immediately go on the offensive.

Throné’s Latent Power: Leave No Trace

When her latent power gauge is full, Throné can act twice in a single turn.

Throné’s latent power allows her to act twice in a row, giving her an extra edge in battle. The choice is yours on how best to use the two actions. You can go on the offensive, heal, and more.

Your name is Temenos Mistral, and you are a cleric. Your tale begins in the mountainous region of the Crestlands.

Though easygoing in your duties as Inquisitor, that all changes the day a tragic incident takes place in the church.

“Oh dear… I suppose it can’t be helped. After all, doubt is what I do.“

Sensing that there is much more to the incident than meets the eye, you set out to solve the mystery left in its wake…

Along your journey as Temenos, you’ll encounter many memorable characters, including:

Temenos’ story beings in the Crestlands

Northeast Solistia, a land of mountains and hills. Perched high atop one stony peak rises Aelfric Cathedral, the center of the Sacred Flame faith. Adherents of this religion’s tenets have worshipped the Sacred Flame that the cathedral houses since time immemorial. Even through the bitterly cold winter a century previous, the flame continued to warm the hearts and souls of all who visited. In both name and spirit, the Sacred Flame and its church are the divine lords of this land. At the base of the cathedral lies the small town of Flamechurch. Though its population is small, the townsfolk make a good living providing for the crowds of pilgrims who travel here to visit the cathedral.

Osvald’s Path Actions

Every character in OCTOPATH TRAVELER II has special Path Actions – skills that you can use outside of battle to interact with NPCs, uncover valuable items and more. Each hero has two Path Actions – one they can use in the day, and one for night.

Daytime: Guide
Lead a townsperson around. You must be the appropriate level to succeed. If Temenos’s level is high enough, he can Guide someone and even summon them to aid him in battle.

Night time: Coerce
Force information out of someone by breaking them in battle. Lower your foe’s Shield Points to 0 to break them and obtain the information you seek. You won’t need to defeat your target, so focus on exploiting their weak points.

Temenos’ Talent: Moonlight Judgment

Temenos can enfeeble all foes at the start of battle at night.

Moonlight Judgment automatically triggers at the start of battles at night. This blinds foes, which lowers their accuracy and safeguards your party from oncoming attacks. It also decreases foes’ physical and elemental defense, giving you the upper hand.

Temenos’ Latent Power: Judgment

When his latent power gauge is full, Temenos can lower foes’ Shield Points with any attack.

On the turn Judgment is activated, all of Temenos’s attacks will lower enemy Shield Points. Combine this with boosted attacks or multiple-hit skills and he can break an enemy in a single turn.

Secondary Jobs & Support Skills

---

Each traveler sets out with a primary job, which they can combine with a secondary job in battle as their journey progresses. Changing your secondary job also changes the weapons and skills at your disposal.

The more weapons you can use, the easier it will be to break an opponent. This will also drastically increase your power on the battlefield.

The choice is yours as to whether you develop your travelers’ strengths, compensate for their weaknesses, or something else entirely.

You can obtain licenses at various guilds throughout the world for basic jobs like Warrior and Dancer. Fulfill the guilds’ requests and you can obtain up to three licenses, allowing multiple travelers to use the same secondary job.

Some guilds operate openly in towns, while others are hidden away. Search every corner of the world to find them all.

Special jobs require a unique item known as “proof” to be used in battle. Only a single traveler can use one of these powerful jobs at a time, so choose wisely.

Support Skills

---

Learn job skills to unlock support skills. Each traveler can equip up to four of these valuable skills that trigger automatically. The support skills you can learn differ by secondary job. Learn all the job skills you can to unlock them all.

Combine different jobs’ support skills, like Summon Strength and Eagle Eye, to further strengthen your travelers. Some support skills can be used outside of battle, like Evasive Maneuvers and Vigorous Victor.
