Interactive Map[overworldmaps.com]

Here's an interactive map so you can plan your journey and locate all of the hidden sub class job shrines, towns and dungeons.

It also informs you how high the enemies levels are so you're on the recommended level before entering dangerous areas.

It also has lists of treasure chests in each area.
Spread Sheet: All Information
Octopath Spreadsheet[docs.google.com]

This spreadsheet details in point form where to find all the weapons / armour / accessories in the game as well as the locations and solutions of all main / side quests in the game.

It shows all of the NPC's you can battle in different towns using H'annit or Olberic and their potential drops, they drop some of the best gear in the game but the drop rates are abysmally low so be warned.

It also spoils all of the boss weaknesses in the game, including the final bosses. It also has detailed information of every Job's special ability unlocks so you can plan which skills you'd like to unlock first.

The spread sheet is available for download.

An Ultimate resource.

Caution: There is a missible item called the Obsidian Armor, it's the only item you can never acquire again if over looked. Make sure you bring Therion with you during Primroses Chapter 3 Boss fight and wait for the boss to spawn adds, the Obsidian Armor can be stolen off of them. It's not a particularly good piece of armour but if you're going for all the achievements, you must steal this equipment.

There's also Mental / Physical Belts that can be stolen in Primroses campaign off of the adds during her Chapter 4, final boss. They also drop the belts after the fight is over but it's not a guaranteed drop so it's best to steal them.

Essentially this article details how to obtain the double XP + JP accessories.

You must completely finish Olberic and Ophelia's Chapter 1 to 4 story line to obtain both of these accessories.

This will detail how to get some really good weapons early on in your adventure. The Golden Axe being one of the most powerful weapons until the late-mid game.
Best NPC's to Allure & Guide.
Octopath Traveler has a very unique way to gather hired help through the class actions Allure [Primrose] and Guide [Ophelia]. Both of these characters can ask NPC's to join them on their adventure so long as their character level is high enough. NPC's are rated out of 10, this stat can be seen in game when Provoking/Challenging them with H'annit or Olberic or when trying to Guide or Allure with the aforementioned characters.

Here is a list of the best possible NPC's in the game to take with you, which city to find them in and a detailed description of their in battle ability:

Full Monster Capture Spreadsheet
Here's a full spreadsheet dedicated to H'annit mains who love capturing critters.

Monster Capture Spreadsheet[docs.google.com]

Note: Capturing different monsters is not worth the hassle until the very end of the game when you can capture Chubby Cait's.

This monster's ability [Supreme Luck of the Cait] makes your entire party impervious to ALL incoming damage for 3 full turns which is the most OP support ability in the game.

The Cait can be summoned 3 times per capture which means 9 turns of full party invincibility, which completely breaks the final boss battle.

This section will help you with a general understanding of how to maximize your damage at the end game. You shouldn't use these skills together until you're good and ready for a boss battle or the very final boss of the game.

Feel free to use other abilities that will help you along the way like Evasive Maneuvers, Snatch, Hale & Hearty...etc. The skills listed are merely the end game damage booster builds that help maximize your characters damage when used in conjunction with in battle buffs / debuffs.

How to beat Managarmr Easily.

This will take a bit of know how and specific items to accomplish but this is one of the hardest fights in the game if you prolong his defeat. The quicker you dispatch this boss the better off you are. This is the fastest way I've seen him killed.

You'll need the Double Tomahawk weapon equipped on someone to break his defence quickly. This weapon attacks twice for every single hit. If you boost someone to level 4 using your BP, you'll attack 8 times with it. [Kind of like FF6's Genji Glove + Offering / Bushido Scroll relics.]

Tressa will need to sub class Sorcerer and have some specific wind magic boosting weapons that only she can weld together.

Primeval Bow of Storm
Tradewinds Spear

Both these weapons increase Wind Damage and only Tressa can equip them both with her main job and Sorcerer subbed.

You'll also need some heavy Sorcerer skills like Elemental Aid and Augmented Elements to reach the damage numbers in the video. There's also a very rare accessory called Elemental Augmentor that gives you an extra 100 magic attack per equip, there are only 3 of these found/earned in the game.

Again this isn't the only way to beat him, merely a suggestion. You won't be able to set your party up like this until the end game any way. All characters chapters will have to be completed and you'll be ready to go against the true final boss.
Cheat Engine Table
Crazy Cheat Engine Table that basically lets you edit everything in the game.

Octopath Cheat Engine Table[fearlessrevolution.com]

Features:
  • XP, JP, Leaf [Currency] Modifiers & Multipliers
  • Always Have Max HP, SP, BP
  • Inventory Editor [Item Quantity & Item Replacement]
  • NPC Follower Editor [Modify NPC Usage / Infinite Uses]
  • H'annit Monster Editor [No Need to Capture / Modify Capture Uses / Infinite Uses]
  • Path Action Mostly Succeeds [Has Level 99 Rate] [Ex: 100% chance to Steal, Scrutinize, Guide, Allure, Challenge, Provoke, Inquire, Purchase]
  • No Random Battles
  • 1 Hit Kill Enemies
  • Enemies All Have 1 Shield

Note: This table tends to crash the game a lot when using the Enemies All Have 1 Shield Option so I recommend against using it, especially during the very final fight as that battle can last up to an hour. Keep it simple and use the XP boosters, infinite HP/SP/BP and modifiers if you're having trouble with something.

ATTENTION: It's been brought to my attention that the table link provided may or may not function properly anymore, unfortunately that's how these things go. The programmers normally don't keep tables updated after a game has basically become old news.

Here is a website that offers two other options including the CE table link I've provided as alternatives:

Alternative Trainers[vgtrainers.com]

Try googling Mr. Antifun[www.google.com] as well.

I'm not sure if any of these other trainers work either, I'm just providing an alternative suggestion.

You could also try:

Cheat Happens Trainer[www.cheathappens.com]

But you need a paid subscription to use it.

I tried to find some, but unless I magically get time to understand how to find the new values for all the scripts, it ain't happenin' :lunar2019crylaughingpig:
NeoRizer  [author] 2 Oct, 2022 @ 9:25am 
Yeah these trainers are like 3+ years old now, I haven't kept up with the updates on them, and I didn't program them, only provided links to their location.

You'll have to use Google to find an alternative... if there even is one.
HappyKoromaru 1 Oct, 2022 @ 7:35am 
It is mildly annoying that the cheat for 100% chance on field actions is dead, but at least it's still possible to catch the values for how many times you can get caught and force those to stay at 5.

marcv666 5 Mar, 2020 @ 4:56pm 
ok, thanks for the info. Unfortunately I can't update it either. Well I guess it's better than nothing. i'll continue to use my own resources in parallel.
NeoRizer  [author] 5 Mar, 2020 @ 4:50pm 
That spreadsheet was created by someone else, I just linked it buddy, sorry I can't help you with that... This was just a guide for resources to certain things to help out players.

This guide is about a year old and my Octopath days are over. The only reason I even made this guide was because I already beat the game on Switch about 6 months prior to the Steam release and had all these resources saved in bookmarks... figured I'd just help out the Steam community because it's a pretty involved game and you can miss a lot of stuff.

Maybe you can edit to the spread sheet? I dunno if it's read only, I haven't looked at it in ages. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
marcv666 5 Mar, 2020 @ 4:05pm 
Hey NeoRizer, are you able to update the spreadsheet? I've used it quite a lot since I started playing the game and it's very good, but i've found missing stuff multiple times, so I can't always trust what's in there and need to compare with my own personal info i've gathered since i play the game. I don't remember them all, but for instance the Gleaming Amulet can also be found in Grimsand Ruins (chest).
[HF]Solanaceae 9 Dec, 2019 @ 8:04pm 
thank you very much!
NeoRizer  [author] 9 Dec, 2019 @ 7:49pm 
You could try:

https://www.cheathappens.com/71813-PC-Octopath-Traveler-trainer

or

http://vgtrainers.com/load/categories/trainers/octopath_traveler_trainer_8_v1_0_v20191105_fling/28-1-0-5055

There are three options on that website, the top one is from Mr. Antifun, who is a very trusted programmer on the internet, well known for making quick and dirty trainers quickly.

The middle link is the CE table I already have linked in the guide (and most likely the best one) and

The third link is from Fling who makes pretty decent trainers but usually his trainers return false positives from virus scanners, so you'll have to allow it to bypass your protection, use at your own risk. I'm not responsible for these trainers messing up your PC, I've never had problems with them but I'm just putting that up as a warning.

Those are you options unfortunately.
