Octopath Traveler II | Hikari’s Chapter 2

Hikari is on a quest to take back his home. During Hikari’s Chapter 2 in Octopath Traveler II, he’ll travel to Montwise to reunite with his old friend, Kazan. Please note that the recommended level for this main story is 15.

Montwise

Travel to the east side of Montwise and take the stairs down to reach Montwise: Underground Arena. You’ll watch the match and Kazan will appear. He’ll throw you into the ring and want you to defeat the gladiator. If you speak with the Barker, you can leave the area and return later if need be. Before fighting, you can loot the below chest!

Chests

When you’re ready, challenge the gladiator! He’s vulnerable to Spear and Bow. Upon winning the challenge, Kazan will speak to you some more. You’ll learn that he needs to fill his coin purse and wants your help doing so. When you’re ready, return to the Underground Arena and speak with the Arena Registrar behind the western counter to begin your next match. You’ll challenge the three Gladiators who are weak to the below.

Enemies

Again, speak with the Arena Registrar when you’re ready to begin the next fight.

Enemies

Upon winning the challenge, you’ll be challenged by Bandelam. When you’re ready, return to the Underground Arena and speak with the Arena Registrar to begin the last fight. Please note that immediately after challenging Bandelam, you’ll fight against him in a boss fight.

Boss Fight

Bandelam the Reaper uses an attack called Shield Slam that makes one of your party members unable to perform an attack the next turn and protects his vulnerabilities. Either break or guard against him when you see a purple mist as he’s getting ready to perform a powerful attack.

Upon defeating Bandelam, Kazan will see his goal realized, and Hikari will give an inspiring speech. Afterwards, you’ll gain some new companions and the chapter will conclude.
