During Hikari’s Chapter 5 in Octopath Traveler II, he’ll return to Ku to reclaim his home. Please note that the recommended level for this main story is 45.
Southern Ku Sands
From the overlook, head southwest down the hill. At the bottom, travel west to find Kazan just before the inn. Approach him to trigger a cutscene. When you’re ready, speak with Kazan to begin the decisive battle. Afterwards, head north, crossing the stone bridge, and enter Ku: Castle Town.
Ku: Castle Town
Proceed north through this area as your allies hold back the soldiers.
Castle Ku: Entrance
Again, your allies will hold off the enemy forces so continue north into the castle.
Castle Ku
Here you’ll have a series of back to back boss fights. Inside the castle, head up the grand staircase. At the top, you’ll face General Ritsu, the first boss. During the second half of the fight, Ritsu will get a boost to his shield.
| Enemy | Vulnerable |
|---|---|
| General Ritsu | Spear / Bow / Fire / Dark |
After you take him out, open the doors he was guarding to find King Mugen. A battle will immediately follow the dialog. This fight will be harder than the last. Mugen can inflict Terror on multiple party members at once.
| Enemy | Vulnerable |
|---|---|
| King Mugen | Spear / Axe / Lightning / Light |
After defeating Mugen, you’ll immediately face “Hikari”. For this fight, you’ll only be able to use Hikari.
| Enemy | Vulnerable |
|---|---|
| “Hikari” | Sword / Axe |
After defeating “Hikari”, you’ll have yet another fight. This boss can steal BP and uses all the physical weapons.
| Enemy | Vulnerable |
|---|---|
| Enshrouded King | Sword / Spear / Bow / Staff / Lightning / Wind |
With the battle finally over, Hikari will announce to the masses that Mugen has been defeated. Hikari will be crowned king and can now rebuild his country. With his speech at an end, Hikari will check in with Mikka and the chapter will conclude.
